How long have you been in business and how much experience do your DJs have?
We’ve been in business since 1996. The majority of our DJ and Emcees have between 8-10 years with our company but we are always looking to add like-minded talent to our roster so that every event feels like a true “B-Boy” event.
How many events do you do a year?
To do our very best work, each “talent” on our roster maxes out at 50 events per year. We do between 300-400 events a year with 90% of them being weddings.
What do you charge?
Everything we do is custom quoted but we range from $2,500-10,000 at a base level. Schedule a consult so that we can find out more about your event and get you a customized proposal.
Does your pricing include setup and breakdown?
Setup/teardown is included in the price.
How much is your deposit?
Our deposit ranges based on the scope of the work. If the event is booked less than 30 days out, full payment is required.
What style of attire can I expect you and your staff/team to be wearing at the event?
For set-up, we wear “all black” attire with our logo prominently displayed. This allows us to be easily identifiable to all creative partners and venue staff. For the event, we dress in similar attire to what is expected of guests (i.e. resort casual, business casual or business formal) unless specifically requested to wear something else.
If the DJ for my event is unable to perform for some reason, do you have a backup replacement ready to go?
We have several back-up “policies” if you book a DJ. Here are 2 of them:
- We purposefully do not book out every entertainer on our staff for any given event day. We leave at least one DJ/Emcee as a back-up so you have a “B-Boy” trained DJ for your event in the unlikely scenario that your assigned entertainer is in an accident, falls ill, etc. We’ve NEVER had to deploy this back-up on an event since we’ve been in business but we still follow that protocol.
- While it’s never been needed due to the above, we also have strong relationships with a few local and national DJs who can cover us if we get in a bind and we can return the favor in kind if needed. We all support this initiative and help others who are a part of this small group. There is a “911 hotline” number should any DJ company in our small group get stuck in this predicament.
Do you bring backup equipment to your event?
Absolutely. We have 3 hardware back-ups on hand at every event.
– Back-up powered speaker
– Back-up computer / tablet (which houses our music library)
– Back-up cables, mics, etc.
What kind of space or stage do you require for the DJ or band? If my site doesn’t provide what you need, will you make arrangements for the stage or am I responsible for renting it?
We’ll play anywhere and don’t REQUIRE a stage for events with less than 150 people. However, if staging is needed or requested, we do have some available for rent. Based on the size of the band, we’ll get you a rider with those requirements (including size of stage, power requirements, etc.). As far as a DJ is concerned, an 8X8 stage sizing is what we generally need along with side and back stairs.
How much time will you need for setup, sound check and breakdown on the day of the event?
On average, our DJs/bands arrive a minimum of 2 hours prior to your event (although, if we can get in to the venue earlier, we’d prefer it). If the set-up is more elaborate, we’ll get there even earlier. It all depends upon the services you book. Teardown is typically a 30 minute process for our standard set-ups. Bands take considerably longer … the size of the band booked determines set-up/break-down time.
How many people will you staff for my event?
It varies based on the services booked and your attendance count. At a minimum, one staff member will be present.
If the event lasts longer than scheduled, what are the overtime charges?
Zero. We do not charge for overtime. Our contracts cover us from a specified start time to a specified end time.
Are there any additional fees that could accrue that I am not taking into account, like travel expenses or charges for special musical requests?
Travel charges may apply for a “non-local” entertainer that is booked. If you need a specific edit made for a track, we usually do this gratis. However, if the production time is considerable or the project is needed in a rush, additional charges may apply.
Do you carry liability insurance?
Yes, we carry a $2 million policy.
How extensive is your music library or song list? What genres can you cover?
In this day and age, music libraries are pretty much limitless. We even have the ability to download music on-site if necessary. We cover all genres from the 1920’s – today. For our live musicians, you can download their playlists in the “Team” section of our website.
Will The DJ play requests?
Absolutely! That is, if you want them to. We typically ask for at least 10-20 songs requests from you before the event just to get a taste of your style in music. However, the day of the event, the choice is yours if you want us to take guest requests. Our DJs are great at reading a crowd and will be sure to play requests that will only enhance the evening.
Should I tip the entertainer?
We do not include gratuity on the contract, but 15%-20% is recommended per entertainer if you feel the entertainer did a great job. The decision is totally up to you.
When should I book one of your entertainers?
We suggest at least 6-9 months before the event, although many of our DJs are now booking a year or more in advance. We do have DJs usually open for last minute shows.
What’s the next step if we book you?
After booking, you’ll receive access to our creative planning app. It is a shared hub where music ideas, timelines, and event details come together. We use this information to prepare for your Creative Music Planning Meeting, held approximately 45 days before the event with your assigned entertainer, ensuring everything is thoughtful, cohesive, and dialed in well before your wedding day.
What’s the difference in your DJs/Emcees? How do you assign the right one for my wedding?
We don’t believe in “plug-and-play” entertainers. Every DJ and Emcee on our team is hired for the same core traits: a service-first mindset, strong musical instincts / flair, and the ability to read a room and lead it confidently without ego.
While each member of our team brings their own experience and personality, the real differentiator is consistency. Our DJs work an intentionally limited number of events each year so they can stay sharp, prepared, and fully invested in every celebration. That approach allows us to deliver a high level of performance across the board; not just from one name on the roster.
Your DJ/Emcee is assigned based on the scope, style, and flow of your event, ensuring the right fit for the experience you’re creating. For most events, assignments are finalized no later than 60 days prior to the wedding. Couples who opt for Priority Reserve may lock in their DJ at time of booking or after (assuming they are available).
When will we begin the planning process with our DJ or Entertainer?
Generally speaking, we begin about 45 days prior to the event. Music changes so quickly – songs that were hot when you booked may already be on the way out by the day of your event so we like to wait till we get closer to the event day so we don’t have to have subsequent meetings.
Can we give you song suggestions?
Absolutely! We strongly encourage it. We firmly believe that there is no “cookie cutter” formula that works for every event. Our clients are unique and your wedding experience should be too! The more information and song suggestions you can give us, the better feel we’ll have for the type of crowd that will be attending — setting us up for success! Don’t worry about spending hours placing them in any specific order … that’s where our expertise comes in.
When is our balance due?
Your balance is due 30 days prior to your event. Our system generates an automatic e-mail reminder so you don’t even have to keep track!
Can we add additional hours to our package?
Of course! One of the benefits to booking B-Boy Productions is that your assigned entertainer is yours for the day. They don’t have an event prior to or after your event, so when contracting, just let us know when the start and end time is and we’ll make sure you’re covered. If the time is asked for in real time, as long as it’s not excessive (anything over an hour), then absolutely we can accommodate. That said, our goal is to hear your vision, attendance count and a few other details at the time of booking that helps us suggest to you the perfect time frame that we feel will have people leaving the event saying it was the best party they’ve ever been to.
What other services do you offer besides entertainment?
Although our bread and butter is entertainment, we do offer Officiant Services, Staging/Tenting (for DJs only) and limited PA Rentals (must include one of our technicians).
Any “must have” additions that we should consider?
Yes! These items are always hot:
- Ceremony: Officiant Services — A professional, confident officiant who knows how to guide any audience with clarity, warmth, and intention. We work closely with you ahead of time to craft a ceremony that feels personal, well-paced, and meaningful, not scripted or stiff. Rehearsal is included to ensure everyone feels prepared, relaxed, and aligned on the flow of the ceremony.
- Ceremony: Live Musician(s) — There’s something unmistakable about live music during a ceremony. Ceremony musicians create an atmosphere that feels intimate, elevated, and unforgettable. Live music can enhance each moment with sound that feels present, organic, and emotionally connected to the space.
- Cocktail Hour / Reception: Hybrid Entertainment – Live Musician with DJ (saxophonist, violinist, percussionist, etc.) — Hybrid Entertainment delivers the energy and interaction of a live band with the flexibility and range of a DJ. Live musicians perform alongside the DJ in real time, allowing songs to be remixed, extended, and reimagined on the fly. This creates one-of-one moments you won’t hear anywhere else. You get the feel of a full live experience without the footprint or limitations of a large band, and the freedom to pull from an unlimited music catalog.
- Cocktail Hour / Reception: Digital Selfie Booth — A sleek, interactive photo experience designed for guest engagement. The Digital Selfie Booth delivers high-quality, shareable moments in real time, with custom-designed digital overlays that match your invitations, programs, or event branding so everything feels cohesive. With no shortened time limit, a minimal footprint about the size of a person, and seamless integration alongside the DJ, it adds energy without disrupting the flow. After the event, you’ll receive a gallery link to view and download every image captured throughout the night.
- Reception: CO₂ Cannon — A high-impact visual effect designed for peak moments on the dance floor. CO₂ cannons release clean, cold bursts of compressed air that create dramatic visual accents without residue, odor, or lingering haze. Used intentionally during musical drops or celebration moments, this enhancement amplifies energy without overwhelming the room.
