DJ’s, Event Hosts & MCs FAQs
Will we be able to meet the DJ, MC or musicians face to face?
Yes of course! We feel that it's essential that you meet our friendly team so we can get to know you better and deliver a service that is more personal and represents YOU!
Why is getting to know us so important?
It’s your day. You need to feel comfortable and so basically, the better we know you as a couple, the better we are able to tell your story. We are obsessed with 'meaningful' weddings and all our couples become part of our SAVVY family...We will do our absolute best to be there for you on your day so we can deliver a smooth and stress free wedding.
Can you play outdoors?
Yes we can play outdoors ideally under shelter/cover to protect our equipment from hot sun and rain.
We also have a battery powered Bose S1 pro sound system that is sufficient for outdoor music or ceremony's in areas where you don't have access to direct power. You just have to confirm the number of guests and we can cater for them with the right sound system.
How do you handle emergencies?
We have a constantly improving infinite redundancy system that constantly reduces the likelihood of emergency as we become more and more experienced.
Presently this cuts out 99.9% of potential emergency situations.
This level of risk reduction is 10 times better that the industry standard of 99%.
The 0.1% situation is handled with our instant deployment backup system, which is deployed at our cost and triggers an inquiry that is then used to make our redundancy system even better.
What happens after I make my booking? What next?
Once you have paid your deposit and been matched with your DJ, they will be very keen to be in touch and will usually call or email with 48h. Start planning!
It’s a good idea to get started early and spent 10 minutes working on a basic song list.
Closer to the day the DJ will need a copy of your running sheet, which will usually be devised in conjunction with your venue supervisor or event planner.
If you need assistance with your song selection or running sheet at any time, just ask.
The more you allow us to assist you, the more we can understand your vision for the day and deliver 10/10 perfection for you on the night.
I feel like I need guidance with planning the music for my event?
We’re the experts and happy to help. Give us a call so that we can find out exactly what you’re looking for. We will work with you to create a customised selection based on your vision for the day.
Will you need a break?
No. The music will play continuously all night unless there are speeches or you request it. If you supply a meal for us we will eat at our station or return to our station within 8 minutes if you prefer us eat back of house.
If I don’t tell you in advance, can I still get the DJ to play extra hours on the night?
It’s at the DJs discretion, most of the time we will be more than happy to do so.
Can I use your microphone for our speeches?
Yes. You have the full use our microphone for the duration of the event. Even if the venue has their own microphones we will always have ours available as a backup as part of our 10 times better than industry standard policy.

How is it that you are one the highest rated and most recommended teams in the industry?
Every DJ is rated at every event by our clients via a third party wedding directoty, so your DJ will be working with you to create the 10/10 performance they need you to experience so they can move up in our rankings.
Because our DJs want to rise in our ranking system, we offer and they attend regular training programs, with as much continuous professional development being offered to our experienced members as our up & coming DJs.
How much will a DJ that is qualified to deliver my vision cost?
Every event is unique, and we know that you want your event to be truly once in a lifetime experience. We quote you for what you need to achieve your vision for the day and then give you options for extras you may not have thought of that could add value to your event. This price varies based on your specific needs.
Our focus in on delivering the best possible service at every point in the process and delivering a performance that matches your vision exactly so that you recommend us to others and our business grows.

This allows us to create a personal musical experience that is unique to your event.

We have over 40,000 songs in our current library and if some of your songs are not in our current library we will locate and purchase the exact songs that you want to hear on the day at our cost.
When do I need to submit my music requests and event details?
Two weeks prior is best and seven days prior is the minimum that we can guarantee we’ll have all the songs on the list ready for you. Its best to send in a list the week prior and then add any last minute song additions 2-3 days later if required.
Will my DJ start on time and DJ right through to the finish time?
Yes. The booking time quoted is for actual performance time.
We typically set up one hour prior to performance time, and pack up begins after our allocated performance time is complete. If you need us to set up more than an hour before performance time then please let us know.
What kind of equipment will be used at my event?
We use a custom designed audio and lighting system that is clear and loud and delivers a 0.1% failure rate. This makes us 10 times more reliable than the industry standard for provision of audio and lighting systems.
Can my DJ supply equipment and play music at our ceremony as well?
Yes. Just let us know that you need us to assist and we can liaise with you and the celebrant to bring our 10 times better than industry standard capability to your ceremony.
Will we receive a contract for our entertainment booking?
Yes! When it comes to weddings we believe that our couples should be taken care of. A contract outlining the particulars that SAVVY Entertainment will provide will be clearly stated and ensure you are comfortable knowing that a professional company has a 'duty of care' towards their wedding couples. This protects both parties and so it's an absolute must when booking a wedding supplier for your special day.
Can our videographer record all the sound and speeches from you?
Yes! When booking our DJs or live musicians we can give access to videographers to record all the sound, music and speeches from your wedding. We are more than happy to liaise directly with videographers so your video will look and sound amazing!
What if a DJ can’t perform due to sickness or an accident?
Your special day is a once in a lifetime experience for you and your guests and when we say that we will stand beside you on the day, come what may, we mean it.
If we’re slightly sick then we just do what we need to and push through so that we don’t disrupt the event.
One of the perks of using a multiple DJ company is that we have a massive database of quality DJs and MCs as well as instant equipment dispatch capability.
When serious illness or accident strikes, we have an on call DJ ready with equipment that we can brief and instantly dispatch.
Does the DJ hold their own Public Liability Insurance?
Yes, we hold a public liability insurance cover up to the value of $20,000,000.
Will my DJ take requests on the night?
Ideally, yes. If you allow us to take requests, we will take requests.
It is certainly our preference to do so as then we can tailor the music to the needs of your guests and thus create a more memorable event for you.
We will not play any songs that stray in to the genres of music that we know you don’t like based on your do not play list.
Do you play “cheesy” music?
We can if you would like, but only if you request it.
We work with you to figure out your must play songs and must not play songs so that we can cater precisely to your vision for your wedding day. Because we DJ at a large variety of events, we have a broad range of music knowledge and leverage that for you so that each event is unique.
How long with the DJ play for?
We customise each quote for your particular event, so for as long as you need.
If I book you for certain duration and then decide on the night that I would like you to perform for longer, is that possible?
We are happy to DJ overtime as long as the venue is happy to stay open. We do ask that you let us know if overtime is a possibility so that we can book your DJ in with the understanding that they may need to work later than planned and also so they can plan their playlist accordingly.
The overtime charge will be in your booking form and you can pay in 30-minute increments.
Do you bring backup equipment?
Each piece of equipment has a backup redundancy so that if any single point should fail then we can continue our performance without interruption. We also have a warehouse facility stocked with additional backup equipment that we are able to express deliver to any site 24h a day 7 days a week.
What will you wear?
Our default is smart business casual and we’re happy to change that to be more formal or informal depending on your event.
