Welcome to the J & D Productions Family
Congratulations and Welcome to the J & D Productions Family!
Welcome and thanks for trusting us to be a part of your event, we are so glad you chose us! We know that there are so many more companies that you could have worked with, and we do not take that for granted, so we want to say THANK YOU for entrusing us with the most important details of your special event!
Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at jimmy@jandproductions.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Now that you have booked with us you should have received links to one or more of our planning documents to fill out to help us get a better understanding the important details of your day! We will use this information to build a timeline for the day of your event so we can make sure that everything is just the way you want it!
These planners are live documents so you can work on them a little at a time or complete them all at once. Once you submit the document you will no longer be able to fill anything out so if your working a little at a time, then dont hit submit just yet. We ask that you fill these out no later than a month before your event so we have time to work on the details, If you want to fill them out earlier then that is fine as well.
We like to meet with our customers either in person or through google meet as many times as needed so that we can help with the planning process and to make sure that any special details are noted and added to notes/timeline. We also use this time to get to know you a little bit and to capture what is important to you on the day of your event.
Once we get the rough version of the timliine completed we would set a date and time so we can meet and dicuss the details we have so far, and to see how we can help with the planing process.
Some things to know that will help you and your guest have a great time!
1-You hired a DJ so you must want you and your guest to dance the night away! If you want to see a packed dance floor one of the most important things to make this happen is YOU have to be on the dance floor. Your guest are there to celebrate you, regardless if its a wedding, party, sweet 16, or even a corporate event, the people you invited expect you to be dancing, so don't dissapoint them.
2-When planning your event you will at some point plan on how the venue will be set up. One thing to remember is the DJ needs to be as close to the dance floor as possible. The DJ needs to be as close to the dance floor as possible so that they can see how the music they are mixing is working with the guest, this allows the DJ to actively change the music as needed to keep the dance floor packed!
3-Our setup time for most packages we would need to be in the venue roughly 3 hours before the start of the event. If getting more intrictate lighting we would need longer to set up. We can discuss during the planning process.
We require all monies to be paid on or before the week before your event.
Your deposit is non refundable if you cancel or change the date. If you cancel within 120 days than 80% of any money paid minus deposit would be refunded. If you cancel from 120 to 90 days then you would receive 50% of any money paid minus deposit and if within 90 days, then no refunds will be given on any payments maid minus deposit. If you are changing the date, then all monies paid would be applied to the new date. *(note-If you are changing the date, we would need to be available and not be booked on the new date, if we are unavailale, then we would consider the event cancelled and the money would be refunded as noted above.
We love outdoor weddings and know that you may want to have your wedding ourdoors. If you are planing on an outdoor wedding, have a backup plan!! You never know what the weather is going to do and or if it will rain. You will know ahead of time if the weather forecast is, so having a backup plan will help you stay stress free before the event. If you do not have a backup plan, and the weather is forecasted to rain, J & D Productions will not be able to perform.
If the wedding is outdoors, J & D Productions will need to be set up under shelter as to protect the equipment. The sun, rain, snow etc can damage our equipment, so making sure that the DJ is able to have cover to set up is a must. (We can discuss durring the planning process)
Dance floor lighting is just that! Lighting that is specifically used for when the dance floor is open. Some DJ's use lighting that just flashes to the beat but our lighting is computer controlled so we can change the colors and the movement to make the dancefloor come alive and enhance the music!
Up Lighting is a way to transform any room into a fun and festive environment, all by adding a few lights around the room. We customize these lights to match whatever your main theme or decor is during your wedding, and when the dancing starts, it is a way to enahnce the room into an amazing fun atmosphere and will keep your guest in the moment no matter if they are dancing or not. Here is a link to see dance floor and uplighting combined. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8DjXn1NTes/
What we call club lighting is all of the above and then some!! We go all out when we do the club lighting at an event. The Dance floor lighting is bigger, the uplighting is bigger and the lighting set up is customized
to the event space, and we can tell you that there are not a lot of DJ's that can produce the light shows that we can create for you during your event! Here are a couple of links to see some club setups that we have done.. https://studio.youtube.com/video/BvOlvb9CUF8/edit
