FAQ’s About Us

Describe your DJ style?

We are professional and well spoken.We are as low-key as you’d like and as high-energy as you’ll need. We are very flexible and laid back.

In addition, all Double Platinum Celebrations DJs are personally selected by The Owner, Patrick Daniels and The Operations Manager, Kevin Duran Jr. Our DJs  must adhere to the high standards of excellence we are known for in the Entertainment Industry. We are well spoken, professional, and are NOT singing, dancing DJs that bring props, or  are trying to be in the spotlight . With over 20 DJs on staff we are likely to have a DJ that suits your needs and wedding vision

What distinguishes your DJ company from other DJs?

First and foremost, We care and We listen. We build relationships with our clients and get to know what their vision is and how we can make that a reality. Most of our clients become repeat customers who either refer our services or book us again for other  functions. We cover most of Northern New England and all DJs are fully insured and utilize state of the art DJ equipment and custom online event planning tools to streamline your wedding planning process. We do a final consultation with you to review your upcoming special day and we coordinate with your other vendors for a seamless , stress free wedding day.  With deep roots in the Wedding community. We’ve been packing Dance floors for 20 years and we are just getting started !

What qualifies The staff to be DJs?

Our talented staff of DJs all have years of experience as Entertainers and Emcees. They all have spent years perfecting their craft coming from such diverse backgrounds in Radio, Bands, Nightclubs and formal educations in the Music Industry. They have received awards , reviews and accolades for their dedicated service to the Wedding Industry.  With over 1,500  five star reviews , and over 150 venues and vendors recommending Double Platinum for two decades , we are ready to exceed your entertainment expectations!  We literally are the most requested and reviewed Maine Wedding Vendor.

How many other DJs do you work with?

In addition to the talented staff of DJs we have, we also work with a vast network of DJs outside of our organization. That’s right; we work with the competitors. It is more important for us to know we have put a client in touch with the most qualified DJ for their special event, whether it’s with us or someone outside Double Platinum Celebrations.

So you have replacement DJs available in case you become unavailable?

Absolutely! Only in the event of an emergency or unforeseen circumstances would we not be there. You are covered!

Do you have back-up equipment?

All professional DJs will have backup equipment with them.

Do you have insurance?

Yes, all DJs carry Liability Insurance

FAQ’s About Booking

Are you available for same-sex weddings?

Yes.

Do you issue contracts for functions?

Every function is contracted, and we personally review the contract with you so you are informed and comfortable.

How far in advance should we book you?

We book up 1-2 years in advance on prime  Saturdays  (June, Aug- early Oct ) The earlier you secure your venue and date , the better chances are you will get the entertainment you deserve for your special day.

Will you hold our date?

Due to the high demand for our services , we are unable to hold a date for someone while they are in the shopping process for their entertainment. We fill our dates on a first come, first serve basis. A contract and a non-refundable retainer secure the date with us. We can generally schedule a phone/ video call with our DJs and potential clients  quickly to  answer questions and make that important determination if everyone is a good fit. For most clients we are able to accommodate all the information they need directly over the phone and online. Most of our clients are destination weddings to Maine and due to the distance we never meet them in person until the day of the wedding.

Do you accept credit cards?

Yes, we do through PayPal. You can easily be guided through the process on the homepage.

What is the minimum amount of time you can be retained for?

5 Hours minimum for Weddings, 4 hours minimum for other events.

Do you offer optional add-on services?

We offer several options that are subject to availability. Please check with us as we are always updating our optional services. You are only limited by your imagination.

Can we book you for a portion of the event?

For insurance purposes and the safety of your guests and our DJs, our time generally starts when your guests first arrive. It isn’t an option for us to be moving equipment and setting up while your function is already underway with guests walking about. We arrive 90 minutes – 2 hours early to set up and are ready when the doors open when the first guests arrive. We are ready to accommodate your Cocktail Hour, Announcements, and Dinner Music prior to the dancing festivities.

What if you've never been to our venue before?

We are Mobile DJs that adapt to each location. Many wedding venues we return to each year, and there are new ones and private residences we go to . We are skilled at load in , set up logistics and what our minimal  power needs are. While there is a certain comfort level with familiarity for clients it should not be a deciding factor in hiring a DJ if they have never been to that specific location. Any seasoned DJ can adapt to the location they are at to perform.

FAQ’s About What To Expect

What is the music selection process ?
With today’s technology we are able to give our clients access to a huge digital music library that is constantly updated each week. Clients can pick songs, build playlists, and most importantly build a ” Do Not Play List .” It is a team effort selecting the right songs ; between you, your DJ, and your guest requests. We love taking requests and are skilled at reading a crowd to keep the dance floor packed.
Can we provide our own music?

You may, but our preference is to take care of all your musical needs. If you have songs that are special and unavailable anywhere, we would ask that you get them to us in advance of your function so we can ensure they will play properly in our equipment.

Do you take breaks?
No. Music is constantly playing.
How will you dress?
However you would like us attired. A tuxedo is standard attire for a wedding. A suit, or shirt tie and slacks is also standard.
Will you emcee the party?
We will be your Master of Ceremonies and handle all of your announcements and coordinate all formalities with your other vendors.

FAQ’s About Choosing Us

Do you have videos of your performances ?

We do have many great videos on our Instagram page @doubleplatinumcelebrations

Can we come see you at another person's wedding?
No. These are private functions. Having uninvited guests at a wedding is unprofessional.
If we can not see you at a wedding how do we know you are right for us?
If after meeting us in person at a no obligation consultation (we love meeting people!) or speaking to us on the phone (we sound the same on the mic as the phone…just a little more amplified) or speaking with any of the hundreds of references we have, or venues that recommend us, or reviewing the dozens of testimonial letters, as well as online videos, and seeing the happy satisfied customers on our website, you are unsure… that’s ok..

Our goal is to provide you with all of the necessary information you need to make an informed decision and to be comfortable. You need to be comfortable…it’s your big day!
