💸 Logistics & Costs
✅ What’s included in your package?
👉 Ceremony, cocktail, and reception coverage — depending on your needs.
✅ Do you travel to our venue? If so, are travel fees included?
👉 We love traveling for weddings! Whether it’s a Glenmere Mansion in Hudson Valley or a Hempstead House in Long Island, we’ll work with you to make it seamless. If flights or long-distance travel are required, a travel fee applies and depends on the location. We’ll always be transparent so there are no surprises.
✅ What’s the deposit and cancellation policy?
👉 We keep it simple: 50% of the talent fee to lock in your date, with a clear payment schedule from there.
💬 Final Tip: Don’t just book the first DJ you meet. Ask the right questions, feel the vibe, and make sure they’re someone you’d actually want to hang out with—because on your wedding day, they’re not just your DJ, they’re the ones setting the energy for every moment.
