"What kind of music do you DJ?"
​
Whatever you desire! I love all kinds of music, but this is your day. Once you've booked me, you'll be emailed my questionnaire form as a Google Doc. You'll enter your must plays, do not plays, favorite artists and genres. I'll DJ music based on this. My job is to keep you happy as my clients but also all of your guests! I want everyone in attendance to feel like the DJ cared about them and played music to make them DANCE! This requires a lot of paying attention, looking out at the room and deciding what to play to please all demographics.
​
If you ask me what I personally think is a good flow, I like to start out with some Motown - maybe some Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder followed by familiar modern pop and rock. The kind of music that has a good beat that gets everyone of all ages dancing, singing and loosened up! If you enjoy the group dances, there's nothing wrong with a little Wobble or Cha Cha Slide. Gradually throughout the night, I like to dot in some slow dances, blending through various genres like Pop, Dance, Hip Hop, Rap and EDM.​
​
"Can you provide multiple sound set-ups?"
​
For every event, I have up to three sound systems with me. So if your ceremony, cocktail and reception are in three separate rooms, no problemo!
​​​
"So how do I book you?"
​
Once you've decided to hire me, I'll email you a contract which you'll print, sign and mail back to me with a retainer check. You'll pay the remaining balance on the day of the event. Payments can be check, Venmo or cash.
​
"Can we meet for a coffee prior to the event to go over the details?"
​
Sure! I love coffee.... and tea! Alterntively, Zoom or phone calls work for me, too.
​
"How far will you travel for a wedding?"
​
I've done weddings in Costa Rica, Cape Cod, Myrtle Beach, New York, Detroit as well as all over PA. Travel fee will be discussed but yup, I like to travel! Destination weddings are awesome!!
​
"How do you transition from live music to DJing and vice versa?"
​
Seemlessly!! :) DJ equipment and live music equipment are assigned to channels on my mixing desk so it's all laid out in front of me in an organized, familiar way. So switiching between DJ and singer / guitarist is simple. A lot of the live perfomance takes place from behind the DJ table so I'm right there to make sure there's never a moment without music.
​
Which brands of speakers do you use?
​
My mains are QSC. I also use a Yamaha line array system often for the cocktail hour and some Bose speaker systems also. I have numerous options depending on the venue requirement and always travel with backup speakers (and backup everything else!)​
​
"What do you wear for weddings?"
​
Typically smart trousers, dress shoes, shirt, tie and vest. If the event is more formal, I can don the tux!
​
"Are you really British or is that just for show?"
​
Yes, I get asked this. And yes, I'm from Southeast London - ENGLAND!
​
"Do you need electricity for an outdoor ceremony?"
​
Ideally, yes. I like to run my vocal and guitar through a PA system for amplification. If it's a small wedding, I can sometimes get away with playing acoustically (without any sound system). I also have a small battery-powered sound system.
​
"What about light rain? Can you play your guitar in the rain?"
​
I can't play my guitar in even light rain if I'm not under shelter. I cannot have anything electrified exposed to the elements either. If you are having an outdoor wedding, we recommend getting a gazebo or tent for the musicians / DJ. Please discuss with me in advance about this.
​
"Do you provide lighting?"
​
Included in the DJ package price, you'll get my LED lights that illuminate the dance floor in swirling, spinning LED colored lights, creating a fun, clubby atmosphere. Uplighting is a separate service. Inquire for details.
​
"When we hire Joel Lindsey Entertainment as our musician / DJ, is it you personally that we get for our event?"
Absolutely!
"Do you have liability insurance?"
Yes, I can email that over to you upon request.
​
"Which forms of payment do you accept?"
​
Cash, check, Venmo and PayPal
​
"Which Premiere League football team do you support?"
​
Arsenal!
​
"Do you still go back to visit London?"
​
Yes, I go back home for a visit every year for Christmas.
