Q: Do you have a contract?

A: Yes, we always set up a contractual agreement with all of our clients. The contract serves to protect both you and us. The contract clearly outlines what services, equipment, etc will be provided plus dates, timings and payment schedules, leaving no details out.



Q: Do you require are deposit?

A: Yes, we take one-third of the entire contract amount as a deposit. The rest of the outstanding amount is paid at the start of your event.



Q: What time do you set up?

We typically will arrive at your venue 1 hour prior to the time that your first guest would arrive. Having said that, more complex setups require more setup time, therefore for those larger events arriving at the banquet facility 2 hours in advance is not uncommon. This time allows for sound check, microphone checks, lighting checks and light programming, and of course ensuring the professionalism of our image by having a clean set up.



Q: Do we get to meet our DJ in a 1-on-1 situation?

A: Of course! Without our DJ meeting you, it would be impossible to gauge the type of services and expectations that you require. In this consultation, we go through every musical detail of your event, including playlists, types of music, etc. Many times, we will come out to your venue (if need be), that way we both can have an exact idea of what will be happening on your event, eliminating all of the guess work. You get to meet the DJ, learn his personality and in turn he can learn yours, thus providing the perfect musical entertainment for your event.



Q: Can we request music?

A: It’s your event, the music should be the way YOU want it. We make sure that all of the songs that you and your guest want to hear are played. We are industry professionals and are more than capable of choosing and selecting music to keep your crowd dancing, but you have the ultimate say. Even on the night of, your guest may request any song, and as long as it would work with the crowd, we will play it. In addition, we can send music request sheets around prior to your event, so we have an idea of the type of music that we will require at your event.



Q: Do you offer MC Services?

A: We offer live Master of Ceremony Services for those clients who wish to have a more interactive feel. We can use our unique MC skills to get your guests off their feet and keep them interested in the party all night long. This service also includes games, announcements, shout out and many more. Every event package come with your very own MC who can be as involved in your night as you would like.



Q: What types of music do you specialize in?

A: We have over 11 DJ’s in our organization, thus we can focus on so many different genres of music. We specialize in Hip Hop, Top 40, Soca, Reggae, Dance, Euro, House, Party, Bhangra, Bollywood, Hindi, Chutney, Oldies and Rock. With so much talent and diversity, its now wonder why we are North America’s Most versatile DJ company.



Q: What are your Mixing Styles?

First and foremost is that we do actually mix, not just say we do. Songs blend seamlessly into one another for non stop dancing. Also we have the ability to mix, remix, scratch, beat match and song select all live at your event. At Nspire Sound, we bring a level of “Turntablism” that the industry cannot touch.



Q: How long do you play one song for?

A: Each event and each crowd is different, some crowds like 1-2 minutes per song and some crowds like the entire song played. All of these points are covered in our 1-on-1 session. You as the client have the power to decide or you can allow us to read the crowd and switch when necessary; everything is fully customisable!



Q: What types of Equipment do you use?

A: We use only the best in DJ equipment. From our earthshaking subwoofers to crystal clear tops, our equipment is top notch. We use various products from companies like Denon, EV, Rane, Yorkville, JBL, Behringer, Chauvet, Microh, American DJ and Antari to name a few.



Q: Do You have Back Up Equipment

A: We have the top equipment in the business, which we regularly maintain, so equipment would be a failure would come to a surprise to us. However, we do have a reserve sound system waiting for every event, in the event that something was to happen.



Q: What do Nspire DJ’s wear to my event?

A: At Nspire Sound, we are a professional DJ company and we understand how our image must look to match all of our other aspects of professionalism. Our attire and appearance match your event, for example a prom or semi formal, we will be dressed in nothing less than shirt or tie, but for a school dance, an Nspire Company golf shirt.



Q: If we book other events with you, do we get a multiple event discount?

A: We value you as our client and would love to cater to your needs. When you book multiple events from Nspire Sound, (i.e. School Dance, Athletic Banquet, Prom) you are entitled to amazing deals on your package, so we encourage you to book everything with us.



Q: Does Nspire Sound do any other type of events?

In addition we are fully insured for all liabilities at all events. When booking your DJ, ask to see their insurance and licensing, because many times they may say that they have it, but in truth will not. Our licensing and insurance is readily available to all of our clients.
