How is All That Music and DJ-Z different from most other Disc Jockeys?
Most clients are looking for something different from the stereotypical DJ. We don't have a one size fits all package for all clients. We listen to you and your needs and create playlists that create the atmosphere you are looking for. Clients typically want something other than what they have seen and heard at other events. They want a professional who cares about formatting great music to enhance the atmosphere of an event rather than having a "DJ personality" dominate it with excessive talking, cliches, overplayed songs and over the top antics. One on one meetings, allow you to provide detailed input regarding your preferences and create a personalized format that guests will find a refreshing change from the run of the mill DJ routine.

Do you have other Disc Jockeys working for you or would you be our Disc Jockey? Do you have backup DJs?
We currently have two DJs and two DJ assistants that work for All That Music. Unlike other DJ services who "Bait & Switch" (where you meet with one DJ and then someone you have never met shows up to perform your event), you meet with your personal at least once before your event. There is over 25 years DJ experience between DJ-Z and DJ Bobby B. We reserve backup DJs in the case of illness or emergencies.

How much control do we have over our music format?
As much control as you'd like. Everyone is different. Some people come with a 5 page list of songs they want played, others just know the genres they like and ask us to put together a fun mix of music. The one on one meetings allow us to determine what type of music and atmosphere you are trying to create. We also utilize "must have" and "absolutely do not play" music lists. We go to great lengths to ensure your event is a pleasant memory that guests will be talking about for months afterwards. We do everything we can to avoid playing genres of music that is not appealing to you and your guests or play certain songs that may be personally negative to you. You will receive a sampler CD approximately 2 weeks before your event to listen to and confirm the type of atmosphere you are looking to create.

How will you be dressed for my event?
Each type of event calls for different attire. A formal wedding may call for a black tie & tux and a Hawaiian Luau may call for jeans and a Hawaiian shirt. At our one on one meetings we will discuss the atmosphere of your event and finalize what my attire will be at your event.
5 :
What type of equipment do you use?
We only use top of the line professional sound systems from well known names such as Bose. This enables us to put out a smooth, even sound in a compact and sleek profile. No blaring, no scratchy sound. The sound will be nearly the same for those dancing in front of the speakers to those at the back of the dance floor.
6 :
What type of lighting and special effects do you use?
We only use top of the line lighting and special effects equipment. We exclusively use LED type lighting for reliability and safety to your guests. We offer many lighting choices from dance lights, to atmosphere up-lighting to Gobo lighting that lights up your new Monogram, the couples name or a phrase on the dance floor or on a wall. At our one on one sessions, we will determine together what type of lighting will set the atmosphere you are looking for and enhance your event.
