Do have a Spanish speaking person/ or are you well versed in Latin music?

Catalyst Productions does have Spanish speaking DJs and has an extensive collection of cultural music.

How far should we book in advance?

Booking 6 to 8 months in advance will most likely ensure we have a DJ available for your event. If you'd like a specific DJ, you may want to book earlier. Some of our DJs are reserved as far as 2 years in advance.

How long have you been in business?

We have been providing entertainment since 1989.

Does distance change the price at all?

Everything in our effective range is included in your quote. Jobs outside of our range may incur travel expenses.

If we have entertainment set for cocktail or dinner, does your price stay the same?

Our prices are based on the amount of time a DJ will be present at your event, not necessarily performance time. For example, if you have a string quartet playing your cocktail and dinner music. Your DJ must still be present and set up for your event.

Do you provide photo booths?

No, please refer to our friends page.
