Questions?
we've got answers!
We work for you, so that is totally your call. We will gladly take requests if you allow it.
We recommend booking your DJ as early as possible. Most of our couples book 12 to 18 months in advance to secure their preferred date and DJ.
If you're planning a wedding in October, which is by far our busiest month, or on a Saturday, the most popular wedding day of the week (followed by Fridays, then Sundays), it’s especially important to lock in your vendor team early.
Even if you're still finalizing details, we recommend reserving your date now and filling in the specifics later. Our calendar fills up quickly, and we hate having to turn away couples who waited just a little too long.
The deposit is $1000 and due at booking. The remaining balance is due 2 weeks before your wedding.
You will have access to an online planning suite which includes a huge digital music library where you can add songs to your wedding playlist. If you don't see the song you want simply add a "custom song" and be sure to include the song title & artist name.
No, not at this time.
Absolutely! There is no additional cost if the ceremony and reception are in separate spaces at the same venue. An additional fee will be applied if they are at different venues.
While we hope we never need it, yes, we do have liability insurance. We are happy to provide you or your venue with a Certificate of Insurance upon request.
We are based in Hampton Roads but we service all of Virginia. 100 miles roundtrip is included at no additional cost. Anything outside of that range will be charged per mile at the standard US mileage rate.
**Lodging costs apply for locations over 300 miles roundtrip.
We have reliable reserve DJs on call in case an emergency arises and we are unable to perform your serivces.
If there is an issue of equipment failure, we come prepared with back up equipment.
We will need a 8x8 area for setting up and access to a minimum of 2 outlets within 50 feet. We will bring our own table.
Absolutely! All of our packages include dance floor lighting. If you're looking to take the atmosphere up a notch, uplighting is available as an optional enhancement. It’s perfect for adding a stylish glow to your space, highlighting architectural features, or setting the mood during dinner and dancing.
Every couple has a unique vibe, and we tailor the music to match yours. The songs you include on your request list help us understand your style and preferences, and from there, we build a playlist that feels like you.
We're experienced in reading the room and blending genres to keep guests of all ages engaged and the dance floor packed. From classics to current hits, line dances to slow jams, we’ve got you covered. No two weddings are the same, and we’re here to make sure your soundtrack is unforgettable.
Yes. A large part of our role will be to make announcements, manage your timeline and communicate with your other vendors to be sure you and your guests always know where to go and what is happening next.
Yes, we sure can! Our ceremony support service can accommodate any outdoor set up, even without power.
I'm glad you asked. 196 (one-nine-six) represents Matthew 19:6 “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together let no one separate." We thought this was perfect for us as a husband & wife team and representative of our business as a wedding DJ company.
If you cancel more than 30 days before your event, then you forfeit your deposit but no additional money is due. If you cancel less than 30 days prior to your event, you are responsible for the entire balance. If cancellation is initiated by 196 Events all monies paid will be fully refunded including the deposit.
Congratulations, you are officially a 196 Couple & one step closer to having the epic celebration you dreamed of.
