You take your party seriously!!...As well you should. Most of the comments you are going to receive after your event is going to be about the music. You want people to call you the day after your event to tell you how tired they were from dancing so hard all night. That's where I come in. I take your event just as seriously as you do, and I always make it my mission to make sure EVERYBODY at your event have a GREEEEAT TIME!!!.
Here are some answers to most commonly asked questions over the years.
1) What type of music do you play?... OR... What type of event is your
specialty?
Answer: I am one of very few DJs that can be comfortable doing almost any type of event. Thats why i call myself the 'ultimate DJ'. I don't specialize in one or two music genres. I specialize in more than 20 of them. I can rock pretty much any kind of event. I've played for every age group. Click here for my playlist, and also feel free to visit my homepage to view the types of events i've done.
2) Can we meet before the event?
Answer: Yes we can. I desire to make your event a success as much as you do.
I'm more than happy to lend a hand in the planning process.
3) Do you do weddings?
Answer: Yes. I've had the privilege of being the DJ (and MC) at more than 25
weddings a year for the last 5 years. I take the time to work diligently with the
clients on things such as specialty songs, time line, name pronunciation e.t.c.
MC services will not cost you extra. Its free!
4) Do you have a contract?
Answer: Yes. There is a comprehensive contract that specifies all the
obligations of the client and the DJ.
5) Do you have Invoices and Receipts
Answer: Yes. Available upon request.
6) I'm having a small party in my basement. Is that too small of an event
for you?
Answer: Oh no. There is no event too small. I do everything from small
gathering(less than 30 guests), to large events (over 500 guests) . Each event
receives the same exquisite service. Please visit my homepage to see what
type of events I've done and still do.
7) What kind of equipment do you have?. Do you have back ups?.
Answer: I have back ups for every single equipment I bring to your event
American Audio CD/MP3 players.
American Audio mixer
Shure Microphone
Crown Amplifiers
8000 watts JBL speakers (for large events)
Peavey speakers for smaller ones
American Audio dual fog machine
American DJ party light show
I don't use computers!!!. If a CD player skips, it takes half a second to fix. If a
computer freezes, it takes 5 minutes or more to reboot. I'm pretty sure that
would definitely be a drag at any type of party. I'll advise you not to hire a DJ
that uses Ipods or laptops.
8) How far do you travel?
Answer: I've done events in places as far as Las Vegas and Texas. I'm based in
Maryland, but I'll travel to anywhere in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, New York.
9) Do you play GOGO music?
Answer: Oh yeah!!. 95% of these so called disc jockeys in the area don't even
know what GOGO music is. I'm one of only a handful of DJs in the area that not
only play gogo, but stays updated on all the new stuff from ALL the bands. Click here for my GOGO playlist.
10) I want the DJ at my event to get the crowd hyped. OR I want a laid
back DJ. Can you adjust your approach to accommodate this need?.
Answer. Absolutely. Every event is not the same, so I don't approach it as such.
Sometimes an event requires a laid back classy DJ, and sometimes it needs a
DJ that get the crowd hyped up. I have the flexible personality to handle both
situations with ease.
11) Can you provide a replacement if you get sick or have an accident
on the event date?
Answer: Yes. I have never missed an event due to illness or any other reasons.
However, i do understand that accidents do happen. I am part of a network of
DJs . In a very unlikely event that I can't make it to your event, A competent
replacement will be available.
12) When is the best time to call you?
Answer: Anytime
13) Why should we hire your services over others?
Answer: Thats simple. My services are better. My music selection and range are
way more extensive than any other DJ service provider. I see a lot of DJ
services claiming to be 'wedding specialists'. That makes absolutely no sense.
All that means is that their music selection, versatility and range are all very
limited. They've probably been playing the same music at weddings for the last
20 years. They probably only do weddings because they only have to make the
crowd dance for about a hour and half. These are the same DJ services that will
charge you $2000 for a wedding. That is appallingly ridiculous!!!. If a DJ
charges you $2000 for a wedding, you need to make sure that he helps set the
tables, teach the crowd to dance, cater and serve the food ,clean up at the end
and drive the limo. Charging over $2000 for a wedding is just too much. My
rates are much less. When it comes to music at your event, its better to have it
and not need it than not to have it at all. You need a DJ versatile enough to
keep a crowd dancing for 8 straight hours. You need a DJ versatile enough to
do Grandpa's corporate event on Thursday, Mom and Dad's anniversary on
Friday, Son's wedding on Saturday and the daughters sweet 16 on Sunday.
You need the services of DJ MAX POWERS . Hire me today for your event, and
you will not regret it.
14) Do you take requests during the party?. If we have a special song
and we want to burn it on a CD or bring an Ipod, Would you be able to
play it?
Answer: Yes to both. I love taking requests during my set. It doesn't disrupt the
flow of my mix at all (Only a bad / inexperienced DJ would say that). I can
incorporate requests into my set very easily. As a DJ, you can never predict
what the people at a party are going to like. I always bring all my collection to
every event for this reason. If you have a song you want to burn on a CD or
bring an Ipod, I have absolutely no problem playing it. I have a CD and MP3
player, so i can even play data CDs.
15) OK.....OK...OK Max. I've seen one of your shows, and I've checked
out your references. I'm interested in booking YOU. If I book my event
with your company, am i going to get YOU or some other run of the mill
DJ?.
Answer: I've heard of situations where people book their events with a DJ
service and not receive the DJ they thought they were going to get. I've seen it
firsthand too. I was djing a Sweet 16 in a Marriott in Va in the summer of '07.
Right across from my ballroom was another Sweet 16. They hired a DJ agency
and what they got was a 'wedding specialist' complete with the Tux, bow
tie and stomach girdle. Needless to say, the party was a dud. By the middle of
the night, ALL( and i do mean ALL) of the guests at his party were dancing in
my ballroom. When you hire DJ Max Powers, thats exactly who you get. When
you call, you talk to ME. When you email, you get a reply from ME. When we
meet, you meet ME. When the DJ arrives for your event, that DJ will be ME
16) Hey Max.....Why does your smile always look the same in all your pictures?
Answer: Why tamper with perfection...lol
