Good questions

Yes. Every client gets a contract once they decide to book with Acclaim DJ. You'll have 10 days to sign it online and email it back with a $200 deposit.

Our prices are very competitive, and our packages are designed to fit a range of budgets. Your price depends on the time, date, location and size of your event, and the services you'd like. Ask us for a quote.

Yes. We don't charge extra for setup, and travel is included within an hour of Wilmington.

Absolutely. We suggest two meetings: one to get to know your DJ and go through the online music and wedding planners, and a final one to confirm every detail and answer any questions. You can also call or email as often as you like in between.

Yes, and no. Our lighting system is included in your package at no extra charge.

It depends on the package you choose. We'll work out the right amount of time with you based on your plans.

Yes, no problem. Just let us know before the event ends that you'd like us to keep going. There's an added fee based on the extra time.

No. For indoor events we bring everything. Our equipment runs separately from the venue's, so all we need is a power outlet.

For outdoor events, please provide a tent. Weather can change quickly and our equipment runs on electricity. For ceremonies without power nearby, we can run on battery power.

We're known for being on time. We aim to arrive 1–2 hours early so we can set up and have music playing when your first guests arrive.

No. A meal is a kind courtesy, never an obligation.

Tipping isn't required, but it's always appreciated. If your DJ kept the night on schedule and played great music, 15–20% of the fee is a typical tip.

Yes. We bring a backup plan to every event. Problems are very rare, but we're 100% prepared if one happens.

No. We know what a break can do to the energy of your event, so we play non-stop for the whole booked time. The only exception is if heat, weather or the venue makes it unsafe for our DJs.

Definitely, and we encourage them. You can send your own picks before the event, and your guests can make requests on the night.

We probably already have your favorite songs, but you're welcome to bring music on a flash drive. We don't accept CDs.

That's up to you. We can be as interactive or as laid-back as you like. Our DJs have worked with every kind of crowd, age group and music taste. Just tell us the style you want.

Of course. Our online wedding planner helps you choose your songs and set up announcements for every formal moment, and we'll go over it with you by phone or in person.

During your consultation we'll talk through introductions, cake cutting, announcements and anything else you'd like us to handle. We work closely with your other vendors, and we check in about a week before your event to catch any last-minute changes.

We'll talk through your taste in detail before the event. You choose your special songs and requests in advance, and you decide whether we take requests from guests.

During dinner and cocktail hour, loud enough to enjoy but not so loud it gets in the way of conversation. After dinner we turn it up for dancing, while keeping an eye on the volume so the rest of your guests stay comfortable. Volume is the most common complaint about DJs, so we watch it closely.

We wear formal attire to all official events. If you'd like us to wear something else, just let us know.
