Do you use a written contract? YES!
We do use a contract to confirm your booking and price in writing. Your contract outlines what you can expect from us and what we expect from you.
Do you play music loud during dinner? No!
Your Armistead Events DJ has been trained to keep the music at an appropriate level during dinner so that your guests will enjoy background music while being able to hold a conversation with their friends and your other special event guests.
Do I need to have a wedding rehearsal? Probably!
If you have attendants (Maid of Honor, Best Man, bridesmaids, groomsmen and especially if you are having children) in your wedding you will be much more relaxed if you have a rehearsal a day or two before your ceremony. You want to be sure that everyone is comfortable and knows exactly what their duties are for your big day. A rehearsal helps eliminate a lot of last minute stress. Your Armistead Events wedding consultant will take care of directing your rehearsal for you.
Can you provide references from past clients? Absolutely!
You can find references from our past clients on the Testimonial page on this site and on our Blog. We also have books with testimonials we can show you during your free consultation. If you would like to speak with a few of our past clients we can provide you names and contact information during your consultation.
Are you insured? Can you supply me with proof of liability? Yes!
Most venues require us to show proof of liability insurance.
Will you be willing to play requests and discuss music ahead of time? Yes!
We provide each client with access to their own personalized planner where you can listen to music clips and make requests. We will also discuss and honor your DO NOT Play list. Client Login
Do you use Professional DJ Equipment? YES!
We always provide you with professional grade audio equipment.
Are you familiar with other wedding vendors such as florists, photographers, videographers, caterers and venues to help with my wedding? YES!
We have an extensive list of professional wedding and event vendors at varying price ranges at our fingertips in Lynchburg, Amherst, Bedford, Forest, Smith Mountain Lake, Farmville as well as other locations across the United States. You can view some of these event professionals on our suggested vendor list by going to the Armistead Events Links page. The Armistead Events vendor list is constantly being updated and we only refer businesses that consistently deliver high quality customer service and awesome products.
Should we tip the entertainer? That is up to you.
Tipping the entertainer for an outstanding performance is a nice way to thank them and is very much appreciated, but tipping is completely optional.
Do you provide backup DJ equipment at my event? Yes!
Although equipment failure is rare, we do carry backup equipment. We also have a backup plan in place in case of illness or accident.
Will you counsel me on etiquette matters? Absolutely!
We can advise on all matters relating to wedding and event etiquette.. We will let you know which "rules" can be bent and which should be left intact to ensure that you are a gracious host.
How much time do you allow for DJ set-up? 2 to 4 hours.
Your set-up time depends on the size and location of your event. Typically we arrive between 2 to 4 hours prior to your event to set-up, test equipment and sound check. Your entertainer should ideally be set-up and in place before your first guest arrives.
Do you charge for an initial meeting? No!
Our initial consultation is complimentary and lasts approximately 1 to 2 hours. After hearing your vision for your event, if we feel that you would be a better fit for another wedding or event planner, we will let you know and will give you a referral to someone that may be a better match for your style and personality. We are that committed to you having the best event possible.

What do you wear?
The question about attire comes from us. What do you want us to wear?
You specify the type of apparel that your Disc Jockey is expected to wear for your occasion. Formal attire or a coat & tie to khakis and a button down (Female versions of these for our female staff members.) seem to be the most popular choices. If you are having a "themed" event, make sure your entertainer is informed. From a tux to a costume party your Armistead Events professional will be dressed appropriately for your event.
Do you take breaks? No!
We don't take breaks at your wedding or event. Music and coordination are provided from the time your first guests enter until your last guests leave.
Do you oversee the entire event by supervising vendors, troubleshooting emergencies, and soothing nerves? Yes!
Your job is to relax and enjoy your day. Armistead Events will serve as a liaison between you and your vendors, family, friends and guests. We will handle all the details of making your day run smoothly. It is also important to note that our management and troubleshooting style, while firm, does not include yelling at vendors, belittling them or their abilities. We are calm, flexible and roll with the punches. If you are reassured by a planner who is visibly frantic or audibly forceful with vendors, then we are NOT the event management company for you.
