Frequently
Asked Questions

FAQ for Weddings:
How Do You Dress?
Unless otherwise requested, I will dress in formal tuxedo attire
to honor your special day.
Will You Take Any Breaks?
No! I play nonstop from the start of the reception to the last
dance. Throughout the evening I'll be closely working with
your photographer, videographer and caterer to insure a coordinated,
worry free reception.
Can We Control The Volume Level?
Yes, if it's too high or too low, just ask and I'll adjust
it to your satisfaction.
Will You Announce The Bridal Party?
Yes, if you desire, the Bridal Party can be announced upon
arrival at the beginning of the reception or right before a
Bridal Party Dance. I'll also be happy to announce parents,
grandparents, etc. We will go over all of this information
at your planning meeting.
Will You Play Requests?
Yes, from your guests and the selections you have chosen on
our website. I'll also be happy to make dedications
and announce
anniversaries or birthdays.
What Does LV Sound Need To Set Up?
Only a location near standard grounded power outlets. Tables
and chairs are not necessary for our setup. Upon completion
of your reception, I will quietly put away our equipment and
leave the set up area as I found it.
Please Give Me Your Definition of Professional Behavior?
To conduct oneself courteously towards you and your guests.
A DJ should not smoke or consume alcohol at your reception.
My goal is your total satisfaction. I want you to be happy
that LV Sound was part of your special day.
Can I see LV Sound at a wedding in my area?
Just as most banquet facilities will only allow brides and
grooms to view a hall prior to the start of an actual reception
when the room is empty, LV Sound has a similar policy in effect.
We simply cannot invite a prospective couple to another couple's
wedding out of respect for the couple paying for our services.
Most couples do not want other people that they do not know
hanging around their reception to watch a DJ. Also, our primary
job is to focus entirely on the event that we are performing
at and not be occupied with sales duties.
LV Sound does perform at many public events each year that
you may attend and we also have available video of actual receptions
that you may view at your convenience. On this website you
will also find real letters of reference from many satisfied
couples through the years. In addition, I would encourage you
to ask your reception hall, photographers, and other wedding
vendors about LV Sound; chances are since 1988 that we have
worked with them at one time or another. Finally, I ask you
to ask yourself would you want somebody that you do not know
at your reception to view a DJ? This is why our policy is what
it is.
We were at a wedding sitting by a DJ and the music
seemed too loud during dinner but in the back of the room the
music could hardly be heard. What can LV Sound do to prevent
this from occurring at our reception?
This happens a lot in long or odd shaped rooms where the DJ
can be too loud in the front and not loud enough in the back.
The LV Sound solution is to set up a satellite pair of speakers
opposite of where we are set up. This way the speakers in front
can be turned down and your guests can hear the music and announcements
more evenly without feeling blasted by the main set of speakers.
Also, later in the evening the satellite speakers can be turned
off so that guests who want to dance can be near the DJ and
guests that wish to have conversations can be in the back of
the room.
FAQ for School
Dances:
Do You Take Requests?
We sure do ... your input is number one with us!!! LV Sound
sets up a request stand with pens and request sheets near
the DJ booth, which is regularly reviewed by our DJ's.
Also, requests can be emailed in advance to lvsound@aol.com
or made on our website.
What About The Music You Play ... Is It Clean?
LV Sound only plays edited radio versions and music video clips
approved for broadcast. We do not play album versions or unedited
cd's/dvd's.
For Our Formal Dance Will You Announce The Members
Of Court For Us?
Yes. Not only can we announce the homecoming or prom court
for you or provide your announcer with our microphone, but
if you supply us digital photos of your court we can show them
on our giant video screens.
How Do Your Employees Dress?
Our DJ/MC's and DJ helpers will dress in company uniform which
consists of a logo uniform shirt and dress pants. During prom
season, the DJ/MC will dress in a tuxedo, if requested, at
no extra charge.
Is LV Sound Insured?
Yes, we carry liability insurance. A copy of our policy is
available upon request. If necessary, your school can be named
as an additional insured.
Is A Deposit Required To Book A Date?
No. LV Sound only requires a signed service agreement, which
must be signed by an adult advisor or school administrator.
When Is Payment Due?
Payment is due in full by check, cash, or money order immediately
upon completion of services. Under special circumstances, we
will allow Net 10 days billing with a copy of a signed purchase
order.
Is There A Penalty Or Cancellation Fee If School Is
Closed Due To Inclement Weather?
No. We will attempt to reschedule your school on our next available
date if your dance is cancelled because of an official school
closing due to inclement weather or an emergency situation.
What Does LV Sound Need To Set Up?
The LV Sound Video Dance Party is primarily designed to be
set up in a large venue such as a school gym. For smaller venues,
we can size down to a one screen set up or a smaller size screen.
We ask that you leave for us a 30 feet wide by 20 feet deep
area free of decorations and other activities. We'll also need
3 separate electrical outlets on 3 separate circuit breakers.
For your information, we bring over 500 feet of heavy duty
extension cords. Your school custodian should be able to provide
you with assistance regarding this matter.
For the best viewing of the video screens and our high tech
light show, we recommend that most ceiling lighting be turned
off or dimmed. We can provide portable ambient lighting, if
necessary, to lighten up a room without causing interference
to the low light levels required by our equipment.
