TAZE Music Factory (pronouced with a long "a" sound, and rhymes with "maze") is a family owned business that has been operating for a number of years.   We take pride in our reputation which has been built mainly on "word of mouth" advertising.

One of our primary objectives has always been to provide the highest quality service at the most reasonable price.   We also take pride in being of assistance with organizational suggestions for events such as wedding receptions.   We know that how your event turns out is also a reflection on us, and we are committed to making it a success.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How interactive are your DJ's?

A very familiar question!   Often times when a prospective client is looking for the perfect DJ they search for one who fits the level of interaction they're looking for, whether it be conservative or outgoing.   We actually let you decide how much interaction you would like.   We like to have activities/games at your event, but they are upon request only.   We can be conservative, outgoing, or anywhere in between.   Exact details are discussed during your pre-event meeting.

We try to be only as interactive as necessary to keep your guests having a good time on the dance floor.   In any case, you'll never hear one of our DJs yelling, screaming, or even singing over the microphone.   Even at our most outgoing level, we still remain totally professional and never steal the spotlight!

Do we get to choose the music for our event?

We have had clients choose all the music from start to finish and we have had clients leave the music selection completely up to us.   We recommend a list of "must play" songs and "play if possible" songs.   This way there will be plenty of time for special requests from your guests as well as DJ selections.   You may also wish that we do not take requests from your guests.   This is your event and we want to make it exactly what you want!

Is time for setup included in the price?

We never make you pay for setup or takedown of our equipment.   In most cases we arrive 30-45 minutes prior to your scheduled start time and will be set up and playing music before the guests arrive, unless you specifically request otherwise.

Do you take breaks?

From the scheduled start time to the scheduled end time we will never stop the music to take a break.

Can we have a "Don't Play List" ?

Sometimes the "Do Not Play" list is equally as important as the request list.   Any specific song or genre you definitely don't want to hear, put it on the "Do Not Play" list.   Don't feel as though we must play the chicken dance or the hokey pokey.   If you don't want it, we won't play it.   And rest assured, if a guest requests a song on your "Do Not Play" list, it won't be played.

What if we want a song you do not have?

Part of the "Must Play" list is making sure we have every song on the list ready to play.   If we don't have it, we will get it.   It's as simple as that!

Can you provide ceremony music?   How much extra is it?

We can provide all the music for your entire event.   You will have the opportunity to preview our selections and make your choices at your pre-event consultation meeting.  We have many variants of the traditional favorites for all sorts of ceremony types.

There is no extra charge from ceremony music outside of our regular hourly rates.

Do you have an area of the Website where we can login and edit our play lists and other information?

We know that we are immersed in the age of technology, and we won't be falling behind. However, we feel that it is important to discuss your event in person -- or if that's not possible, over the phone.    We have been in this industry for many years and may have suggestions or comments on the questions you have.   Also, interacting with your DJ is a great way to ensure that your event will be exactly how YOU want it.

How loud is the music?

One of the biggest complaints bands and Disc Jockeys receive is that the music is too loud.   Don't worry -- it doesn't have to be that way.   During the cocktail and dinner hours the music will be set at a comfortable level.   Background music should be just that -- in the background.   When it's time to dance, the speakers will be adjusted to give the dance floor the maximum sound while the rest of the room can still engage in conversation, if possible.   Of course, at any time, if YOU feel that the music is too loud (or too soft), let us know and adjustments will be made.   After all, this is your event after all!

Do you have backup equipment?

We want your event to be perfect.   We keep some extra equipment with us at all times (extra light bulbs, cords, cables, etc.)   We have backup equipment at the office if something major were to happen.   We do have multiple systems however, we pride ourselves on having new equipment and we maintain our equipment at the highest levels.

Can we meet the DJ before booking?

Absolutely!   There is nothing more comforting than knowing exactly what to expect.  From performance to equipment, we will work with you every step of the way, giving you the opportunity to share exactly how you'd like your event to proceed.   Have peace of mind because never will a complete stranger show up at your event!

What happens if the DJ gets sick or something (Weddings)?

You can have peace of mind in knowing that a DJ will be there!    As owner of the business, I normally DJ all weddings because I want your event to be nothing less than perfect.   Sometimes, things happen that we cannot foresee.   We wish we were super-human and would never be affected by illness or injury, however, that isn't the case. If something were to happen to me I would notify you as soon as possible, and I would send another of our experienced DJ's to your event.

If possible, we will arrange a meeting with you and the "replacement DJ" before your event.   We also will have all the information for your event on file -- all the song lists, special instructions, and anything else pertaining to your event so the DJ will arrive informed and ready to go.
