IMPORTANT NOTES
We recommend setting your start time to the arrival time of your first guest(s).Set up should be completebefore guests arrive to avoid appearing late, having equipment halfway set up, andpreventingany liabilities due to the coming and going of equipment.
Example: If your invites call for a 5 PM start time, set your start time for 4 PM. It is strongly suggested that we play music before the start of the ceremony (prelude) to greet your guests as they arrive.
Our team arrives in a truck towing a trailer, and we request accommodation for trailer parking. Our additional staff will arrive in separate vehicles, and we may require parking for up to 3 additional vehicles. Please get in touch with us to confirm the number of vehicles for your specific event.
Meals are not required, but they are greatly appreciated. For a head count or meal preference, please contact us. Depending on the package booked, our events may include up to 5 people.
We request ramp or elevator access to any places where our equipment will be set up. Due to its weight, our equipment arrives in various cases that are wheeled in. If set-ups are required to go up/down stairs or up on a stage, an additional fee of $200 will be charged. Stages and stair accommodation may only sometimes be possible. Please contact us if your event requires equipment to be carried onto a stage or carried up/downstairs.
Gratuity is not required but always appreciated. You may tip ahead of time or on the day of the event if you choose so, and it will be split amongst the staff that attends your event
A separate room/area to store excess equipment is appreciated. If no space is available, our team will reload all empty cases back into our trailer; however, please note that said trailer must remain in place until our set-up is complete, at which point it can be parked elsewhere. When possible, parking as close as possible to the DJ booth is recommended in case our team needs to access our trailer for any backup equipment required during the event.
To avoid circuit breaker blowouts, we require a minimum of TWO 20-amp circuits dedicated to our equipment. Larger setups may require additional circuits. For a total number of circuits, please get in touch with us. Check with your venue for electrical mapping, and if they cannot provide one, our team can do a site electrical assessment at an additional cost.
If the event is outdoors, we require an overhead cover. Our equipment cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, heat, or moisture. If the venue or the client does not provide overhead coverage, My Event Pros can provide overhead coverage at an additional cost.
We require your timeline to be finalized 30 days before your event to give us time to review and prepare. If you are working with a third-party coordinator or anyone else contributing a timeline of events, please have them get us this information by this time. We want to avoid being contacted by anyone involved in the planning process the night before. It is best to have all your vendors ahead of the curve to prevent any miscommunications leading to errors. We want to eliminate any room for error by allotting ample time to prepare for your event.
