What does the process look like?We start our partnerships by setting up a quick Zoom consultation to discuss YOUR specific needs to ensure we can meet them.

Once the contract is completed and you've provided a 50% deposit, we get to the fun stuff. All our couples are provided an online client portal - a one stop shop that contains all correspondence, questionnaires, and paperwork in one place. The creative process starts with comprehensive worksheets to get you thinking about the important points of emphasis for your Ceremony & Reception. Once these are completed, we setup a final Zoom meeting with our clients to go over all details to ensure we tap into and deliver the vibe YOU are looking for. Whether it’s coordinating the best flow for Processional songs during your ceremony or deciding on a fun and upbeat jam to introduce your Wedding Party, we work as a team to create a once in a lifetime experience.

Do you act as the emcee and make all of the announcements?Absolutely! This is an element of Cappitoff Entertainment that really sets us apart from other Wedding DJ companies. Our Lead DJ’s all have extensive Master of Ceremony/Host experience. Often, DJ’s only play music and companies have to employ a separate staff member for announcements and mic work, which creates unnecessary coordination. Not only will your DJ rock the house and keep the party going with pinpoint timely jams, they’ll also stay on top of the run-of-show throughout, coordinating with vendors and making announcements to ensure a smooth and seamless experience for everyone.

How do you build our playlist?When it comes to your Reception, our goal is to utilize transparency and accessibility to customize your playlist. We provide a working playlist (through Spotify) based on your Music Questionnaire feedback as well as our initial conversation that you will have full access to and can edit in real time. This way, by the time your day has arrived, we have a playlist consisting of tons of songs that you feel confident you and your family will enjoy. No surprises. As a bonus, this also means you will always have access to your wedding playlist in the future! You even have access to our embedded Spotify Playlists complete with suggestions for everything from Processional Songs, Cocktail Hour, even finding the perfect song to turn up at the end of your Reception!

Do you take requests?Requests are something that is discussed in our go-overs. Once you fill out your Reception Music Questionnaire, the DJ will be able to see the styles, do’s and don’t plays, must plays, etc. We can take requests according to your vision and stay within your parameters!

Can I submit a "Do Not Play" list?"Yes! We actually encourage this. Our creative process runs on transparency. We want to tap into the exact party and experience that YOU want for YOUR big day. There’s a “Do Not Play” section on our Music Questionnaire.

Do you do wedding shout outs during the reception?This is one of our favorite offered services during receptions!

How do we encourage a shy crowd to get up and dance?If you want a packed dance floor all night long, we play a major role in keeping your guests on their feet.
