Frequently Asked Questions
These are some of the most often asked questions regarding DJ Eddie.
Q: Single-system operator... What does that mean?
A: "Quite simply... When you book HAPPY HOUR DJ SERVICE, you're booking me (DJ Eddie) and my 15+ years of experience in producing entertainment, and performing at special events. My success is based solely on MY OWN performance: Performance in finely tuning the details prior to the event, and performance of implementing those details at the event. It is dedication and service that cannot be matched by anyone, other than an experienced single-system operator."
Uniqueness!
Being a single-system operator means that I don't have to follow any
'set format' or training manual... Your unique thoughts and ideas
can be a reality, as we discuss them in detail, prior to your
special event!
Wedding Receptions?
Every performance is different from the last.
I work with some of the most sought-after, unique, and innovative
event planners in the Metro Detroit area!
If you want different ideas to add spice, or variation from the
'typical' wedding reception, I can give you some new ideas to
consider.
You want your guests to dance?
You want your guests to have a great time?

You want to host a successful event?
DJ Eddie will make it happen!
Q: You're one performer... Are you the right dj for EVERY kind of event?
A: No.
What I do, I do well. I don't need to pretend or mislead anyone into believing that, no matter what type of dj they're looking for, I'm the guy. Again, I don't have multiple systems that I need to book... Only me. If I don't think that I'm the right dj for your event, based on your criteria, I'll tell you. In most instances, I'll even recommend someone more appropriate.
Right now, without going any further, I can tell you that if any of the following three paragraphs contain qualities that you are looking for in a dj, then you should probably consider another service:
1) Comedy. While we do dress appropriately for Halloween and Theme Parties (you can see some of those pictures on the homepage slideshow), we won't dress ourselves, you, your guests, or bridal party up in goofy costumes (i.e. Village People, Funky Chicken, Blues Brothers, whatever) and parade around the room at your reception! Ditto on the inflatable instruments, glow sticks, or any of the other 'novelty house' items...
I know some people like that kind of stuff, and that's fine,
there's lots of dj's that offer that.
Not me... We'll have a great time without the cheese!
2) Singing. I would never subject you and your guests to my singing. I'm not talking about karaoke here... There are some dj's who actually 'sing tunes' at their event.
3) Christian, Country, and Latin music. These are three types of music that actually have their own Hot 100 lists. I have current selections available from all three (through my subscription service), and of course I know, and play the popular material... But, unlike just about all other formats of music, I don't listen to, or try to stay in tune with 'what's happening' with these formats. In other words, while I can play requests, I don't want to be put in a position to have to play a whole night of any of these types of music. There are Country dj's, there are Christian dj's, and there are Latin dj's... If you're having an event where the predominant theme will require a majority of music to be from any of these three formats, you should hire a dj who specializes in that respective format.
Q: What if you're already booked for my date?
A: One of the best things about booking HAPPY HOUR DJ featuring DJ Eddie, is that you deal with DJ Eddie the whole way, up to, and through your reception. For clients who book us, that's great! For clients that want us for a date that we're already booked for, it's not. There are some instances where we may have an afternoon event booked, and can still do an evening event, but that's kind of rare. There are a select number of other professional dj services in our area that I am confident in, and who I know, will have your best interest at heart. I would be more than happy to refer you to these services at your request.
