WILL THE DJ BE RESPONSIVE TO OUR CONCERNS ABOUT SOUND LEVEL?
It is important to us that the guests at your party be comfortable with the volume of the music. We are dedicated to keeping the music throughout the party at a level that is exciting, yet does not blow out your eardrums.
WHAT IS “CONTINUOUS MUSIC” AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT MY PARTY?
“Continuous Music” means that there will always be music playing throughout your event. As dinner is served, music that we select, will be played. You and your guests can enjoy whatever you enjoy I can also take requests.
WHAT IF THE BRIDE & GROOM LIVE OUT-OF-STATE?
If you are planning a local wedding, but live out-of-town, we will work with you to facilitate the long-distance planning process. Butch’s fantastic online planner will keep us synchronized every step of the way.

WHY DO YOU PLACE YOUR SPEAKERS ON STANDS?
Sound travels better when it is unobstructed. This ensures that people in the back of a room can hear the music and announcements well, while not overpowering the guests closer to the speakers. The sound can be kept at a moderate level for all to enjoy. This is especially important during the cocktail hour and dinner when most people are catching up with people they may not have seen for some time.
DO YOU CARRY BACK UP EQUIPMENT?
An extra system is built into my standard system. Back up computers are always available. If for some reason there was a power surge that damaged my system, I have another in my vehicle.
HOW MANY SONGS CAN YOU PLAY AN HOUR?
An average of twenty to twenty five songs an hour. If there are fewer special events, more songs can be played and of course, more events would mean fewer played.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE SICK?
I have never missed or been late to an event. I am a member of the ADJ Network, there is always a backup available. Any additional costs for a back up DJ’s service, would come out of my pocket.
WHAT TYPE OF EVENTS DO YOU DO?
I have done wedding receptions, birthday parties, baptism parties, union receptions, corporate events, fundraisers, holiday parties and reunions. Any event that requires professional musical entertainment is one for which I can help.
IS THERE AN ADDITIONAL FEE FOR TRAVEL EXPENSE?
I cover the entire State of Connecticut for no additional fee. Out-of-state events may require an additional travel fee.
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT EQUIPMENT I NEED FOR MY PARTY?
The size of the DJ system is determined by several factors: the number of guests at your event, the size of the room in which your party will be held, the type of music you want performed, any special preferences you may have, and of course, your budget. The answers to these questions will enable us advise you on the appropriate DJ System size.

Butch was the DJ for our wedding in May 2023. We’ve seen Butch at other weddings which made him an easy choice! From the start he was organized and professional. He used an online planning tool that helped us think through every detail of our day along with helping us fine tune our timeline. He accommodated all requests during the reception with ease. He kept everyone dancing from the minute dinner finished to end of the reception. Would highly recommend him to any other bride! Thank you, Butch!
