Do I need to hire a DJ during breaks at my wedding reception or corporate event?
No, Bill brings thousands of songs with him to play during breaks.
Won’t you be too loud for our cocktail hour or dinner?
Because Bill regularly plays in restaurants, he adept at altering the mood and sound to fit the occasion.
How far will you travel?
We travel coast to coast as well as out of the country.
For my wedding reception, do you play during dinner?
Typically yes, particularly when it is in the same room as the dancing portion of the evening. This allows us to layer your formalities (welcome or blessing, toasts and special dances), keeping a nice flow to the evening and your guests engaged.
What attire do you wear?
Bill and the band can wear black and white tuxedos or dress in casual attire or anything in between.
Can you emcee my event?
Bill is available to emcee and/or make any announcements as needed.
Do you provide a toast microphone?
Yes. Due to the lack of reliability and clarity of wireless microphones, Bill provides a standard microphone for toasts. Your guests won’t miss a single word of the toasts!
Can you help me with the schedule of formalities at my event?
We can provide you with a sample itinerary, based on our experience, to help you with your planning. While we have found this format to work extremely well, you are more than welcome to make changes to fit your needs.
