As a standard, a lapel/lavalier microphone and wireless handheld microphone is provided for the officiant and couple. If you have vocalists or musicians performing, we can accommodate their needs as well upon request.
We pay attention to details; That is why we use sleek speakers, hide cables, and customize our setup to blend well with your wedding decor.
HOW DO YOU HANDLE REQUESTS?
Clients are able to set the general tone by making song requests for the event in our Client Portal.
You can specify the genres and time periods of the music you would like to hear, as well as your favorite artists/songs.
We also provide song recommendations for each category for those wedding clients that need a little help.
A mobile app for requests is also available for guests who desire to make requests at the event.
As experienced professionals who can read a crowd, we use creative license to determine what to play and when, based on how the audience is responding on the dance floor, and using the requests of the clients as a guide.
Clients are asked to tell us background info on the musical tastes of their guests, to ensure that guests will hear the music that is sure to get them going.

DJ Perfect and his team of DJs, are skilled DJs/MCs. As open format DJs, we cater to the needs of the clients. The most common events we spin cover the genres of Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B, Top 40, House, Reggae, Soca, Salsa, and Merengue.
In this business, it is important to be true to your art form. We specialize in rocking parties with dope music and charismatic microphone presence without so much that it kills the vibe.
WHAT HAPPENS IN AN EMERGENCY?
Our contract protects you, and us, in case of emergency. In a scenario where an emergency prevents the assigned DJ from performing at your event, you will be notified immediately.
Another one of our DJs (or trusted partners) will be assigned to deliver the same services you contracted, at no additional charge.
WHAT IF THERE IS TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY?
Prevention is the best cure. We believe in investing in the best equipment. That means that rather than rushing out and buying the cheapest equipment, we invest in the most proven, quality equipment, even if it is considerably more expensive.
With that said, even the most high-end technology can malfunction every now and then. That is why, we bring backups for everything. If something goes wrong, we can keep the party going.
DO YOU HAVE SPECIAL SOUND OR POWER REQUIREMENTS?
Generally, we do not require any special power outside of a 20 Amp electrical outlet, and request that it be designated for the our use only to avoid tripping the circuit.
Our sound and lighting equipment does not draw an excessive amount of power, but it is best to be on the safe side.
If the venue lacks enough outlets to leave one free for only our use, we will need to be notified well in advance.
CAN WE SEE YOU IN PERSON?
The majority of our events are weddings and other private events, so we can’t invite potential clients. However, some events we perform are open to the public.
