Question 1

What do you wear?

Accepted Answer

Usually an outfit that's between a suit and tuxedo

Question 2

Do you take music requests?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Music selection is one of the most important reasons couples choose their DJ, and your preferences are always my priority. During our planning process, we'll discuss your favorite songs, must-plays, and any tracks or artists you'd prefer to avoid. I also welcome requests from your guests throughout the celebration—it's one of the ways I keep the energy perfect and the dance floor packed. That said, as your entertainment professional, I'll always consider the flow and vibe of the moment. If a request doesn't fit what's working on the dance floor, I'll save it for a better time.

Question 3

Will you personally be our DJ, or do you send different people?

Accepted Answer

When you book Rhythm System, you get me—Master DJ Matt Saltzer—at every event, guaranteed. I'm the only person in my company who performs the music. This isn't a large DJ company that rotates different entertainers. It's my personal reputation on the line at your celebration, which is why I offer that 200% money-back guarantee with complete confidence. Irina assists with business operations, but I'm the one behind the turntables from setup through your grand exit. You'll work with me during planning, and I'll be there orchestrating every moment. That's why I only book one event per day—you get my complete, undivided attention and expertise.

Question 4

Are you fully insured?

Accepted Answer

Fully. Interesting question though since it doesn't completely help just to have insurance because something could happen just before or during an event. For that reason, I also actually take at least two of everything to every wedding... that's at least one back up for every essential item, so that if a piece of gear breaks at your event, I have another ready to move into position. I even take a battery-backup system with me and install it at every event just in case something happens with the power source. (I have lost terrestrial electricity at three events in over 35 years... it does happen.)

Question 5

Do you provide music for wedding ceremonies or cocktail receptions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and I go beyond most expectations because I don’t believe in just doing the minimum. Many DJs set up one speaker in the back or off to the side with a single mic the officiant must handle. It’s simple and cheap—but not ideal. The sound comes from the wrong direction, and guests may not clearly hear the vows. I provide hands-free mics for the officiant and readers, and I actively manage audio levels so guests hear every word, clearly and naturally, from the front—where the ceremony is happening.

Question 6

How early do you come to set up?

Accepted Answer

This is completely dependent upon the order and any complexities surrounding the installation of equipment. We no longer offer DJ services for outdoor receptions nor dance floors for locations without weather protection. Give us at least an hour to begin, test, finish and then change after the installation. More equipment = more time needed.

Question 7

Do you provide other services, such as lighting or photo booths?

Accepted Answer

We offer over 30 services, enhancements or even stand-alone options. Have a DJ already but want one of our dance floors as your centerpiece? Want your guests to have a blast singing/dancing in our Ultimate 360 Video Booth? What about video projections, full room lighting experiences, our digital signage entryway pillars or interactive photo gallery? We offer a lot of services and you aren't required to use my DJ services to choose to include our experiences in your celebration.

Question 8

Do you offer bi-lingual or Spanish MC services?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, I do not. English only, but I can certainly provide microphones to multiple people if you prefer to have someone else make announcements or speak in any language at all.

Question 9

Do you travel to _____?

Accepted Answer

It's probably worth discussing. I do drive my equipment to each event though so I'm not interested in severely long distances. The most I've driven to an event so far was 1,200 miles. Try me.

Question 10

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Currently, I accept cash, money order, CashApp, checks and with an addition fee of 3%: credit cards, debit cards and Venmo.

Question 11

Can we book you without meeting?

Accepted Answer

We don't have to meet in person, but at least meeting virtually is essential. Why would you hire someone with such an important and influential role in your wedding without at least a video call? I need to understand your vision, and you need to feel confident that we're the right fit. Without that connection, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking on your celebration—and you shouldn't either. Let's schedule a time to connect and make sure this is going to be amazing.

Question 12

How can we make sure our reception timeline flows smoothly?

Accepted Answer

Great question! A well-designed timeline is crucial for a stress-free celebration. During our planning process, I share proven strategies and resources that help couples avoid common pitfalls—from awkward gaps to rushed moments. Many couples find these planning tools invaluable even before they book, because they clarify what questions to ask any vendor. When we work together, we'll craft a customized timeline that keeps your celebration flowing naturally from cocktails through your grand exit.

Question 13

What should we know before hiring any wedding DJ?

Accepted Answer

I'm glad you're asking the right questions! Most couples don't know what separates an average DJ from an exceptional one until after their wedding. I've created resources that help couples understand what to look for—questions to ask, red flags to avoid, and details that make the difference between a good party and an unforgettable celebration. Whether you book with me or someone else, being an informed client ensures you get the quality you deserve. Let's chat about your specific needs.

Question 14

When should we book our DJ/lighting/MC/entertainment?

Accepted Answer

As soon as you have your venue and date confirmed. Quality entertainment books quickly—often 12-18 months in advance for peak wedding season (October-April here in Florida). The best DJs can only be in one place at a time, which means their availability changes with just one reservation. Booking early also gives you maximum time for planning consultations, timeline development, and customization. That said, I've created amazing celebrations with just a few months' notice when the fit is right. The key is not waiting until the last minute and hoping your top choice is still available. Let's check my calendar and start planning.

Question 15

Are you available for our wedding date?

Accepted Answer

Let me check... still searching... wait, you haven't actually told me your date yet! Reach out with your wedding details and I'll respond fast.
