Yes! Our company is fully licensed & insured. We carry a $1,000,000 liability policy and will be happy to provide a proof of insurance certificate upon request.
Not only do we have backup equipment and backup personnel on call; but all of our sound systems are designed with back up ON SITE so as not to affect your important event! That’s one of the advantages of hiring an established company like Dream Team Entertainment & Events. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize the importance of this until they have dealt with the problems. You don’t want to jeopardize your important day. Unlike some DJ’s & Companies, we do not just give lip service and say “YES, we have backup.” We truly do BACK IT UP!
Yes, of course! If you have referred to the MC/DJ profiles section of our website, viewed pictures of our MC/DJs, read their bios, and are still not sure who you want to MC/DJ your event, call our staff and ask to set up a face-to-face meeting, or even a phone meeting to get to know our MC/DJs even better. The bottom line is that we want you to be comfortable with your Dream Team Performers before your event. Sometimes, a simple phone meeting will put you at ease.
We have qualified DJ/MCs that are “on call” should an emergency or car accident occur, or your selected performer become ill on or before the day of the event. In this case, the client will be notified immediately of the replacement performer. All information gathered by the original performer will be passed along to the replacement Performer to make sure your event doesn’t skip a beat. This of course, because we go to such great lengths to hire dependable staff, almost never happens and is a worst case scenario.
Booking & Billing
We have now streamlined and only accept checks or cash
As soon as you know your date and realize that we are the company for you! Believe it or not, our performers and teams get booked as far as 3 to 4 years ahead of time. So don’t procrastinate.
A deposit and contract is the only thing that guarantees us holding the date and performer. Once we have an oral agreement and send you a contract, we will then hold for a 3 day grace period in receipt of deposit and contract.
Of course we will keep your preferences and information on file and have your preferences “penciled in,” but unfortunately THIS IS NOT a Guarantee of a hold or even that you will be contacted before losing the date or performers you are interested in.
The DJ (Disc Jockey) controls and mixes the music and works with, if applicable, the MC (Master of Ceremonies) who interacts with guests & works with other event personnel to make your event run smoothly, pump up guest and assist in a seamless celebration. An MC/DJ handles both. An MC in most cases will be your main contact person for the day of planning.
In most cases no! You can reserve your 1 specific performer, usually the MC, through a signed contract and deposit. You are welcome to request a another specific performer as well and we will try to accommodate your request for that performer if it doesn't effect another event. A reservation fee will be applied if you want to guarantee more than 1 specific team member.
50%. If you are having financial difficulty with this, please talk to us and we will try to set a payment plan that works for you.
1 to 2 months before the event. All clients must be paid in full before the event. All events booked within one month of the event date require the full event balance paid.
It allows us to guarantee performers who are scheduled on your event and more importantly we don’t want you to have to talk about money on your special day or event!
50%. If you are having financial difficulty with this, please talk to us and we will try to set a payment plan that works for you.
No refunds. Once booked, we are booked and spending time on your event in the process. We give you access to our website & VIP exclusive planning materials, as well as our office staff and performer’s schedules. We also block out equipment & personnel for your event, thus refusing other work and other personal engagements because it has been reserved for your date, so no refunds. If there is a problem that arises we of course we will always try to make you happy and work a solution that works for you.
We guarantee that once you have contracted a specific performer on your event with Dream Team, we will not schedule that performer on any conflicting events for our company. We also hire and get commitments from all our performers for your events in advance. Keep in mind, however, that all things being truthful, there is no company that can guarantee the future. Unforeseen things can sometimes happen. If illness or any other unexpected issues arise to make that performer unavailable to perform on your event, you will be backed up and given a choice from our other talented, qualified, and available Performers.
We are always upfront from the start with what you will be charged, we do our best not to nickel and dime you. There are no hidden fees or last minute surprises.

In most cases, all booked clients are contacted about 2 weeks prior to your event for final confirmation; but please feel free call if you prefer for different accommodations.
Your Dream Team MC and/or DJ will do a confirmation with you about 2 weeks out, to confirm all the details of your event and your vision of your event any dos and don't s. They will then help build a schedule to your liking that will work as a guideline for your event. They of course will also be able to read the crowd and make changes on the fly if need be to get you the ultimate desired effect. They are experts at it! Feel free to ask your MC/DJ for ideas and or creative ways to tie in your Ideas and Taste. We love making the event perfect for you.
Our Dream Team MC/DJ will! They will work in conjunction with your Photographers, Videographers, Caterers, Vendors and Party Planners. Making sure yours and their needs are being handled smoothly.
No in fact 90% of all event confirmations are done over the phone; however, we try to make all clients happy and try to accommodate you if you wish to talk in person.
Sound, AV & Music
Yes, of course! You or your video personnel only need to supply a cord long enough to get from the projector to our sound system. The cord will also need “male” RCA type ends to connect to into our system.
Our Dream Team DJs will always accept and encourage request, unless instructed not to or is in conflict with you the clients over all wishes.
Our music library is very large and constantly growing on a daily basis. If we printed it, it would be as large as our phone books! Therefore, we can’t show you every song- but please rest assured that if it was, or is, a hit we will most likely have it. And we do supply music samples in our VIP section of the website.
Yes we will, as long as we receive your request at least two weeks prior to the event and can find it. (This gives us enough time to find the songs, make sure that they are the correct recording/version, and synchronize into our systems.) In addition, you are always welcome to provide us with your own customized CDs or I Pad back up for your Dream Team DJ to play at the event.
Through experience, we can gauge the appropriate volume. We can turn it down or up if you wish (we don’t take it personal). We do recommend that you seat your most sound sensitive guests farthest away from the speakers.
