Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should we book our DJ & MC?

Can we customize the music?

Will the DJ also act as the MC?

Do you bring your own sound and lighting equipment?

Do you offer virtual meetings too?

What happens after we book?

How do you handle a mix of kids, adults, and grandparents?

We recommend booking at least 10months-1 year ahead to secure your date, especially for spring and fall dates. Many families book even earlier — it gives you peace of mind and more time to plan the fun stuff!

How far in advance should we book our DJ & MC?

Absolutely! You’ll get access to your own client portal where you can add must-plays, do-not-plays, and even share Spotify playlists. We’re all about making it personal and reflective of your child’s style.

Can we customize the music?

Charizma always comes with a two-person team: your DJ handles the music, and your MC keeps the timeline flowing, the energy up, and the kids and adults engaged. It’s a combo that keeps everything smooth and stress-free.

Will the DJ also act as the MC?

Yes! We bring all our own professional gear — sound, lighting, and more. If your venue has specific requirements, no worries — we’re happy to coordinate directly with them.

Do you bring your own sound and lighting equipment?

That’s our sweet spot! With years of experience and a deep music library, we blend the right mix of hits, classics, and cultural favorites to keep everyone — from teens to bubbie — smiling and dancing.

How do you handle a mix of kids, adults, and grandparents?

Yes, absolutely! We’re well-versed in the flow of traditional mitzvah formalities. From introducing the kiddush and hamotzi to making the hora feel like the high-energy moment it should be, our MCs handle it all with the right balance of respect, warmth, and fun. Just let us know what traditions are important to your family, and we’ll make sure they’re honored beautifully and seamlessly.

Can you help with formalities like the kiddush, hamotzi, and the hora?

Yes! We’ll schedule planning meetings to go over everything — your timeline, music, vibe, and any special details. We want you to feel totally confident and excited.

Will we meet before the event?

Totally. We can meet in person or online — whatever works best for your schedule.

Do you offer virtual meetings too?

You’ll get access to your own client portal where you can share details, make song requests, and keep everything organized. We’ll be with you every step of the way!

What happens after we book?

We do our best to match you with the perfect DJ/MC duo based on your vibe and event needs — but availability depends on your date. The earlier you book, the better chance you have to secure your preferred team!

Can we choose our DJ and MC?

Yes, we do! We proudly serve a wide area and love hitting the road for amazing events. Just a heads-up — depending on the location, there may be additional travel costs. For events in downtown Chicago, we also include a Chicago set-up fee due to venue and garage rates in the area and other incidentals that can be incurred in the city. We’ll always be upfront about any extras so there are no surprises!
