What does Music In Motion guarantee?
We will take the time to go over all of your concerns so that the show is customized the way you like it.

Can we talk to your DJ before our event?
Of course, our DJs call/email numerous times prior to your event as well as the week of the event to go over the details.

What happens if your DJ can't make it?
We have replacement personnel on staff in case of emergencies.

How far do you travel?
We service all of Illinois and all the surrounding states! We're based in Woodstock, IL, but are available to travel throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, etc. If there will be a travel fee involved due to the distance we'll discuss that with you prior to sending the contract.

When do you arrive at the event?
Our DJs arrive up to an hour before "Contract Start Time", unless otherwise specified. If MIM is providing your ceremony music please be sure to have the DJ's official contract start time be approximately 30 minutes prior to your ceremony start time. This will allow the DJ to be set up, dressed and actually playing music while your guests are being seated and transition immediately into the ceremony music when appropriate.

What types of music can you play?
We can play any music you like; classical, disco, big band, rock n’ roll, Latin, old school, retro 80’s, and of course, the most current.

How many songs can be played during an event?
Depending on the type of event, you can safely guess that about 15 songs per hour of open dancing can be played.

Can we make a list of music we want played at the event?
Yes!! We actually encourage you to select music you would like to hear. We also take requests from your guests at all times but don't guarantee we'll have all requests and be able to play them.

Can we make additional song requests during the event?
Yes, the show is tailored to fit each and every need even the day of the event.

If we don't want a song played, what do we do?
Let us know before the event and we'll note it on the specifications.

If you don't have a song, can we loan you ours?
Of course.  You can bring the store bought/original CD’s the day of the event, or give them to the DJ prior.  They will be kept safe and returned immediately following the end of the show. Please try to put a Post-it note on each CD indicating the track number you'd like played and what the track is for. If you choose to burn a CD (via iTunes, etc.) please be sure the CD is NOT in mp3 format and is sent to MIM at least two (2) weeks prior to your event date. This will allow us to ensure it's tested on our system and works. Burned CD's given to MIM with less than two weeks lead-time can not be guaranteed to work and client is responsible for providing alternate songs.

If you don't have a song and we don't either but we really want that song what do you suggest?
We will be happy to try to download (via iTunes) any songs you request that we don't have but we will charge you $5.00 per song. If you have access to the internet we'd suggest you trying to locate the songs yourself to save money but we're more than happy to try to find them if you'd rather we do it. If you do choose to download music and burn it to a CD as stated previously, please be sure is NOT in mp3 format and is sent to MIM with two weeks lead time.

Do you take breaks?
No, we play continuous music throughout your event (except for an occasional restroom break).

When is the deposit due and what amount do you require for a deposit?
Your deposit is due the day the contract is signed – the deposit amount is ½ the contracted price and your payment will lock in your date with Music In Motion.

When should we pay the balance?
The balance is officially due one week prior to the event if you're paying by personal check. The day of the event is fine, as long as it’s CASH and prior to performance.

If we want the DJ to play longer, what do we do?
Not a problem. There will be an extra charge on a half-hour basis, as listed in your contract. OT is cash only.

Do we need to include the DJ for dinner?
This is never required and is up to your discretion but is always appreciated..

Should we tip the DJ?
Tipping a DJ for outstanding performance is very much appreciated but 100% optional.
