Wedding F.A.Q. - Frequently Asked Questions

When should we reserve our Disc Jockey?
The Sooner the better! There are only 28 main days in Wedding Season and thousands of Weddings/Stag n' Does. We suggest contacting Flashpoint Productions as soon as pertinent details of the Wedding becomes available such as the Date and Location to ensure availability and assignment of the Disc Jockey most suitable for your Special Day. Peak seasons occur between mid April to end of October but don't forget that in the middle of November to end of December is the season for Holiday Parties.

How is the selection of the Disc Jockey made?
Your Flashpoint Events Coordinator will work closely with you and help you through your Wedding Dance Planner. It is the job of your Events Coordinator to learn more about you and what you desire. They are there to help you select those special songs and finalize all the details of your ceremony and/or reception. The criteria includes the type of event, the mood you hope to create at your event, the level of interaction required on the part of the Disc Jockey, and, of course, the musical interests of you and your invited guests. We then draw upon our large staff of employed professional and experienced Disc Jockeys to select the one just right for you. Of course, you may also request a specific Disc Jockey.

The week prior to your special day, your Flashpoint Productions Disc Jockey will make a confidence call and review everything on your Flashpoint Productions customized Wedding Dance Planner. The discussion creates the perfect opportunity to review last minute arrangments and ensures effective communication between you and your Disc Jockey and ultimately, your confidence in his or her abilities. you are also welcome to meet the disc jockey at our office and showroom at a suitable time for you and the disc jockey.

What will the Disc Jockey Play? Do you take requests?
We are excited to offer you the Interactive Music Request System. This online tool is free for all of our customers and allows you and your guests to give song suggestions, of course the bride and groom have the final say in what does, and does not, get played.

We will happily work with any requests we receive both prior to and during your Wedding Day. The music that is played depends on the particular Wedding. With Flashpoint Porductions, we have the ability to personally select the DJ that best suits your needs. The music will reflect the atmosphere you want as well as the requests of you and your invited guests. All of our Disc Jockeys are well trained to let the music speak for itself or creat a highly energized party! In any situation all of our staff carry comprehensive music selection.
