this is one of the most popular of our wedding DJ questions. Be sure to ask all of your wedding vendors this question! We do not charge extra for set up; your time starts when the music starts, not when we arrive to set up. You are also not charged for break-down time, either.
Exception: if you need us to set up earlier than 2 hours, or break-down later than one hour after the event ends, there is an additional charge. Example: wedding ceremony starts at 5 pm, and we'd normally arrive at 3 pm, to set up, but you need the DJ or photo booth to set up at 12 pm. Many companies do not include set-up/break-down time and charge additional fees for this time. Again, we do not do this, unless it is the above exception.
