Our Most Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do your New Style DJs dress?
Suit or Tuxedo or Casual, it’s your preference.
-
What kinds of music do you play?
Whatever you like. We have large collections of rock, R & B, swing, pop, hip hop, Latin, Big Band and alternative, plus county and ethnic favorites.
-
Do you play dinner and cocktail music, too?
Yes. We have everything from classical to cocktail piano to jazz instrumentals and vocals. Or we'll be happy to play something else if you'd like.
-
Can you provide music for a wedding ceremony?
Yes. We do that as well.
-
If we have some of our own music on CD or MP3, can you play it?
Yes.
-
Do you take breaks, like bands?
No breaks. We play non-stop, unless our clients want to make special presentation.
-
We're going to have a live dance band, in addition to a New Style DJ. Can you do that?
We'd prefer not to. This one happens a lot at class reunions. A popular garage band from high school decides to reassemble and give the old classmates a thrill. They practice one or two songs. But when they get a taste of applause, their egos take over, and they press on by destroying 5 or 6 other songs they didn't practice. NewStyle is interested only in serving our client, and delivering a memorable experience, bands tend to keep playing as long as a a few of people clap, even if the dance floor stays empty all night. Then, the DJ will get blamed for not playing enough music. You shouldn't hire a DJ if all you really want is a jukebox between a band's dance sets. Just burn some of your favorite music on a disc or an MP3 player, and let the band play it through their sound system.
-
What if the band just plays during cocktails and dinner?
That's better. We do a lot of parties where a jazz band, or string quartet, or harpist plays during the early part of the evening. And we're happy to provide music if they need to take a break.
-
We're nervous about speaking on a microphone. Can your DJ handle our announcements and introductions?
Certainly.
-
Do you have a light show?
Yes, for a modest extra fee. You can see how it looks by clicking the video link at the left of this page.
-
Wow, you have everything! Will this cost us a fortune?
Of course not. Our fee for up to 5 hours of music is just $750 ($850 for events in downtown Philadelphia). Additional time is just $75 per half hour; and unlike other DJ companies, we don't jack up our prices for clients who book at the last minute. Here's a more thorough breakdown of our pricing.
Wait a minute. We just got a quote of $1500 from another DJ company. Are they better than you?
Certainly not. They simply charge extra for upgrades that most clients don't want or need. To learn more, call just call us
-
Are you insured?
Of course. We carry a 250k in liability and personal injury policy, even though we've never had to file a claim (we're exceptionally careful about the placement of our speakers, cords and cables). Beware of any DJ who doesn't carry liability coverage. It's the first telltale sign that he's not serious about his business or his clients' safety. Another very important form of insurance: We keep a full set of backup equipment on site in case of equipment failure.
-
What is your policy on tipping?
It's an excellent way to reward a DJ who goes above and beyond, to make your party special (anything from $50 to $200 is appropriate). We don't put out a "tip jar," because it's tasteless. And we don't accept tips from your guests to play specific songs, because those songs may not be appropriate for your party. Tipping your DJ, if you choose, is your responsibility. It's just more professional that way.
