It is important that we are able to service you adequately and professionally. Please see below to review questions and answers that are common amongst potential couples. If you do not find the answer to your question(s), please do email or call us!

Q. What Style Of DJ Are You?
A. In my opinion, the most important factor to my style is that I absolutely care about each couple and the success of their wedding reception. This goes beyond simply playing music and making a few announcements. I am a professional who sees through each detail of your reception with care. All announcements are made clearly and with style so that your guests can follow along with your reception program. My interaction with your guests and fellow vendors is always positive so that your celebration will be a great one! Further, I trained each member of my staff to exemplify these very traits.

Q. How Far In Advance Should We Book With You?
A. We have two professional DJ teams that you can book for your big day. The most popular months for our professional DJ services are... May, June, July, September, October & December. We are available for weddings any day of the week, with Saturdays being the most popular day. Remember, Carlos & I only perform at one reception per day each. We never double book our day, because we believe that your day should be your day!

Q. What Happens If You Are Sick Or Involved In A Car Accident?
A. We believe in being prepared. Carlos & I only DJ one wedding per day each. In the very rare case that one of us is unable to perform, due to an accident or some unforseen matter, we have a professional back up DJ in Keenan Keeling. I personally trained Keenan as a professional DJ in 1997. He serves as our back up. Christine Lemke is also a qualified, professional back up DJ, having trained with me since 1997 as well.

Q. Do You Have Back Up Equipment?
A. Yes. Please review my equipment page and you will see a listing of all equipment available for your wedding. You will notice that we always have two DJ systems available for each wedding reception. With two systems, there is always on site back up in the event of equipment failure.

Q. What Is Your Attire?
A. From suit to tuxedo to casual... you make the call! On your wedding day, our attire is as you wish. There is no charge for tuxedo dress. Your Reception Coordinator will be appropriately dressed in business attire.

Q. How Much Experience Do You Have?
A. I have performed at over 2,000 events throughout the United States since 1986. Each wedding reception in which I perform, is another opportunity to work with a wonderful couple and their guests. Carlos trained with me from the age of 15 and now has worked with The Kurtis Cross team since 1998. Christine also came to the team in 1998. From our office to equipment inventory to ultimately joining our staff full time, she wears a few hats and we are happy to have her expertise. Paula, Janelle & Andria round out our staff with varying years of experience. We all take the time to listen and learn, while working with each couple. It is this experience that allows us to have the confidence and know-how to perform to the professional level that each couple deserves. Together, our staff shares nearly 60 years of professional experience.

Q. What Does The Assistant / Reception Coordinator Do?
A. Our Reception Coordinators are a wonderful addition to your wedding package with me or Carlos as your professional DJ. Our team includes Paula Panasiewicz, Christine Lemke, Janelle Gudelsky and Andria Sacrey. One of them is present at each wedding reception. Their experience includes meeting & event planning, the hospitality industry, customer service, the restaurant business ad of course wedding & reception coordination.

Q. What Time Do You Arrive To My Wedding Reception?
