| What kind of music do you play? |
|
The type of music you hear is completely up to you! That is, if you want it to be. Maybe the reason you are hiring Superior Sound Entertainment is because you don’t know what music will get the crowd dancing. You don’t want to worry about those things, you want to have fun! At most weddings, the bride and groom will fill out a song request sheet with songs they would like to hear throughout the evening. Again, that is totally up to the couple as to how detailed that list is. It could just have a couple genres of music listed, or it could be full of songs that remind them of their family, coworkers, or college buddies. We always offer to take requests at the event and we will make every effort to play them. In the rare event we don’t have the song in our library, most of the time we can download the song on location with our mobile broadband connection.

| What about the quality of the music? |
|
Expect nothing but superior quality in the music we play. All of the music is digital broadcast quality music played with a professional DJ program. The music then goes through an equalizer before it hits the high caliber amplifier and speaker system. The music will be crisp and clear and sound great. We are called Superior Sound Entertainment for a reason! The name says it all.
. |
| Will the sound system be too loud or too quiet for my event location? |
|
The sound system we bring to your event will be based on the size of your location. We will never bring a sound system that is inadequate to fill the entire room. We have equipment that will provide sound for outdoor events as well. In the rare case that the sound is too loud, just let the DJ know, and they will immediately lower the volume.
. |
| What kind of lights do you have? |
|
Superior Sound Entertainment not only prides itself on superior sound, but on superior lighting as well. All of our lights are moving colored dance lights that move to the beat of the music. We use state of the art LED lights that consume very little energy and have several modes of operation. Each light rack consists of lights for fast songs and for slow songs, and will make everyone’s dancing experience even better!
. |
| Do you offer a free consultation? |
|
Yes. This consultation can be whatever you want it to be. We will meet with you before you sign a contract, during the planning process, a few weeks before the wedding to go over all the details and events of the reception, in person, over the phone, by email, or all of the above. Some people just want to quickly go over the details, and others want a comprehensive discussion about each part of the reception. We understand you want everything perfect and we do too, so we will consult with you as often as you like and as extensively as you like.
. |
| How much experience do you have? |
|
Superior Sound Entertainment has been in business since 2006. However, the experience goes well beyond that. Tony Boston, the owner, has been a mobile DJ since 1996 and has done hundreds of weddings and parties. He also has over 10 years of radio experience. Other members on the staff have radio experience and varying levels of experience as a mobile DJ. Be assured you will get a DJ that is fully capable of providing the best possible service at your event, and has a comprehensive knowledge of music and what music to play for your specific crowd.
. |
| What do your DJs wear? |
|
We wear professional attire fit for the event. This may be a broad answer, but we entertain for a broad array of events. For example, a wedding reception DJ would wear dress clothes like black pants and a dress shirt. A DJ at a pool party may wear shorts and a sport shirt, and a karaoke DJ in a bar might wear jeans and a polo shirt. Certainly, if your wedding reception is a luau theme and you want everyone to wear Hawaiian shirts, the DJ will dress accordingly at your request.
. |
| Do you make announcements or interact with the guests? |
|
Absolutely! All of our DJs have mobile DJ and radio experience and we are not afraid to use a microphone. When you hire Superior Sound Entertainment you are getting not only a DJ but a Master of Ceremonies as well. We will make announcements throughout the night to keep your guests informed and guide them through all the events. This is extremely important at wedding receptions. The DJ will guide not only the guests, but the bridal party and other event professionals (caterer, photographer, videographer, cake servers, etc.) through the reception. Nothing will begin unless everyone involved is ready and the DJ will coordinate it all.
. |
| Can we use your sound system for toasts, speeches, or other audio? |
|
We always bring at least one wireless microphone to every event. If you would like more than one we can certainly accomodate. We also can supply a lapel microphone as well if we are providing sound for the ceremony, for example. In most cases, slideshow audio can be played through our sound system and arrangements can also be made to plug guitars or other instruments into our sound system.
. |
| How much room do you need? |
|
The space requirements are quite minimal. We just need enough room for a 4’ table for the sound system and about a 3’ square area for each speaker system. If there are space limitations, we can usually make accommodations.
. |
| What else do you need at the event location? |
|
We will need one outlet within 25’ from the setup location. If one is not available that close, just let us know in advance and we will be sure to bring the necessary extension cords. We do not require a table, but if you would like the DJ table to match the décor or have a tablecloth or skirt, we suggest you provide and decorate the table before we arrive.
. |
| What time will you arrive for my event? |
|
Typically we will arrive around one hour before the event starts or when the guests arrive, whichever is first. Special arrangements can be made if the equipment needs to be in place earlier in the day.
. |
| Do you charge for set up and tear down of the equipment? |
|
No. We begin charging the hourly rate when the guests arrive. In cases where the event has begun and you want us to start playing music at a certain time, the hourly rate will begin at that specified time. In the same manner, we stop charging you when we stop playing music. There is one exception to this policy. For example, if you have hired us to provide sound for an outdoor wedding ceremony, and we have to tear down and set up the equipment again in a different location for the reception, the “clock” doesn’t stop and you are charged for the time it takes us to move the equipment.
. |
| Will you travel out of town? |
|
Our standard travel area is within a 40 mile radius of Springfield, IL. For example, we will travel to Decatur, Carlinville, Jacksonville, Oakford, Lincoln, and points in between for no additional charge. There is a mileage charge for locations outside the 40 mile radius.
. |
| Do you have any referrals? |
|
We realize it is sometimes hard to know for sure that the person you are hiring to provide entertainment at your event will be professional, on time, pay attention to detail, and make your event successful. Hopefully, this website gives you as much insight as possible that Superior Sound Entertainment is all of those things and more, but we do have a list of referrals available upon request so someone who has experienced it themselves can tell you as well.
. |
