Fequently Asked Questions:

Yes we can. We’re attached to tradition – we’re here to incorporate the music you request, and to mix it in a way that will create the kind of wedding you have always wanted.

Just as you pay a caterer for his or her expertise in food, you are paying GOwhidbey in large part for our knowledge of music. We are happy to provide you with many of suggestions based on your preferences, and we are comfortable selecting most (or all) of the music if you aren’t interested in doing it. Our extensive knowledge of music allows us to work with your requests and create a "Style" that reflects your tastes while creating a great atmosphere for your guests. In addition, we specialize in addressing music “challenges,” whether combining multicultural musical styles or adapting unique or eclectic music tastes to the formality of a wedding.

GOwhidbey carries 65,000 songs on our local computer library and have access to 9+ millions songs at our finger tips. We update constantly, ensuring that we are able to provide the songs that most are currently enjoying. Furthermore, we work closely in selecting the music for your event, and will gladly make sure your songs are available, at no additional cost. Because of this, we can guarantee that we will be able to accommodate any request.

Mixing is a pretty basic skill for a professional disc jockey, but how a DJ does it says a lot about his or her style. We mix music with the purpose of creating seamless transitions between songs and maintaining the energy and momentum on the dance floor. Mixing for us is something we do on the spot, based on the tempo and “feel” of the songs and the reaction of the crowd. We don’t treat your wedding like it’s our personal nightclub appearance, and we don’t use your wedding to test out remixes that no one recognizes. Our DJs always use the original and most popular versions of each song unless there’s a really good reason not to. We also don’t use any cheesy, pre-fabricated “DJ mixes” from subscription services.

Our base rates for weddings range from $150-$450 per hour, with a three-hour minimum. We base our pricing on an objective structure that only factors in the month of the event, which makes for consistency and fairness to all of our clients. A complete price quote will be provided to you in our first email to you, and specific information on our pricing structure and services can be found on our rates page.

Four hours of performance time (additional time is available at a prorated hourly cost), setup time, breakdown time, and ALL equipment, including additional sound systems and wireless microphones for weddings. Our flat-rate pricing is refreshingly easy to understand — there are no hidden charges, and all fees are clearly stated in our contract.
