As live-mixing DJs this means that once the dance floor gets going we can be considered performers who combine and manipulate tracks in real-time. There is no playing pre-recorded or static playlists. Your DJ will use a DJ controller (kind of like a turntable) to mix songs via beat-matching, EQ blending, looping, and other techniques to transition seamlessly between songs and create unique, dynamic sets.
The goal of all this is to maintain energy and engagement. When done right it's a blend of artistry and technical execution that every dance floor should have!
We all own our own equipment so setups vary slightly depending on your DJ. The necessities will always be provided with an eye towards an elegant and modern presentation.
Excellent question! We are a small but talented team of DJs dedicated to providing best in business talent for both your DJ and MC. We pair couples with their DJ early, and do an excellent job guiding our couples through the musical planning process. We'd love to chat and share more about why with you!
Our ideal clients are lovers of music and want to throw a party everyone will be talking about for years. If you appreciate and value the art of DJing and want to build a connection with your DJ then we're a perfect fit!
Depending on your lead DJ's preference, we often send a production assistant for gear and vibe support but there is no additional cost for this.
Yes!
Twice a year we host a showcase of the team. This is an informal mixer/dance party featuring a line up of DJs from the Harmony team. It's a great chance to get to meet the team and see us in action doing what we love.
Additionally, most of our team are active creatively both as DJs and performing artists in other capacities. All of our Instagram pages can be found on our ABOUT US page where we'll routinely post our individual projects and performances.
No! There are no additional fees, tax, or charges that are added on to your quote.
Yes! It is included in our contract as well. We prefer our DJs stay on-site the entire time we're working so sneaking off to grab food doesn't work for us.
The earlier the better! As a boutique, peak dates and weekends fill up quickly. While we sometimes have availability on short notice, we recommend you book your DJ as soon as possible. We assign our DJs on a first come first serve basis so time is of the essence!
We do not include gratuity in the final contract price. Industry standard is 10 - 15% for excellent service. 100% of tips go directly to your DJ.
Per our contract, it is our job to provide a suitable replacement. In the case of an emergency, our team has the depth to cover in a pinch, and we have a few trusted partners we can lean on should we need to!
Our DJs do take requests and may play some of them. Our DJs “filter” requests, meaning they will not play a song that you specifically asked the DJ not to play or music from a genre you asked the DJ not to play. If someone makes a request that fits in well with what the DJ is playing at the time and with the music the client wants, then the DJ may play the request. We have an online planning system that will allow you to make request lists before the event.
We love getting to travel! Many of our DJs have done destination weddings. We've done weddings in LA, Boston, and Mexico and loads more in between.
We're here for your entire celebration with no hourly limit! That means we're on-site and ready to go before guests arrive and rocking the dance floor all the way until the last song.
Upon booking, we'll put you directly in touch with your DJ team as soon as possible. This process can sometimes take a few weeks but will always be done well in advance of your celebration. Your lead DJ will reach out directly for multiple consultations and show up ready to rock your wedding!
Our team specializes in open-format, club style mixing. Open-format essentially meaning that we're genre fluid, we'll bring the same skill in live-mixing to every event and make sure that it honors your personal vision.
Of course! We want your music selection to fit like a glove. You can have your DJ take care of everything, build the entire playlist yourself, or meet anywhere in the middle. Usually some combination of these is best! We're good at what we do and value autonomy as DJs and your trust that we'll work with you to make every moment pitch perfect.
While providing your DJ with a playlist isn't required, the more we know about who you are and what music you love, the better we can tailor the evening to be perfect! A playlist doesn't need to be a strict "play these songs." When we know more about what you like we can approach the mix with confidence that we'll be able to deliver a great set ranging from familiar favorites to exciting deep cuts. If you want to be hands off, that's ok too! We all have a deep musical IQ and are ready to read the room and adjust our mixing accordingly.
We know that every couple has a unique vision and musical taste and finding the right DJ is crucial to bringing that vision to life. After booking we send a brief DJ Matching Questionnaire to ensure we connect you with the DJ that most aligns with your tastes and overall vibe for your celebration! Then you'll work one on one with your DJ to plan and ensure your big day is personalized and unique to your vision.
