How much room does my DJ need for their equipment?We generally request a space that is approximately 6 ft x 10 ft, but if your space is limited, we can try to accommodate your request.
-
How will my DJ be dressed?On the booking form, there is a question regarding attire. You can select a Shirt and Tie or Casual attire. Any other requests can be provided to our coordinator so that we can note your booking.
-
What if there are 2 locations that I need to have my DJ set up in?If you have a ceremony and reception in two different areas of the venue, we have two options. You could add a relocation fee to your booking. This would allow the DJ to set up some of the reception equipment for the ceremony and relocate it to the reception area after the ceremony is complete. That is the cheaper option; however, it requires some music downtime. We recommend adding a ceremony system to your booking if you wish for a smoother transition. This would allow for a smaller system at your ceremony and then the reception equipment ready to go directly after the ceremony.
-
How far are you willing to travel?We are willing to travel as far as you need us to, but we charge a travel fee calculated based on the distance from our location (Bluffdale) and whether we will be required to book a hotel for the night in the city where the event takes place. We can also lower that price if you book the hotel room for us.
-
What does my DJ need to know about the music I want to be played?Utah Jive provides electronic planning forms that walk you through your type of event. On these forms, you will have the ability to select the genre of music you want to play. You will ask about the top songs you want played and those you don’t want to play. It is also important to note whether the music selection must be clean. We allow you to provide a complete playlist; however, with our DJs being professional, we want to leave some selections up to them as they will want to play to the guests if you are having a wedding ceremony and reception. The forms will have a section where you can select what traditions you will have, which ones you won’t, and what music you want to play for those.
-
Can I specify if I want the clean or explicit versions of music?Please note in the planning forms which version of the music you want.

How is my DJ selected?When you book with Utah Jive, the booking form requests you to select the desired energy level of your DJ. These levels include reserve, intermediate, and high energy. When interacting with your guests as an emcee, this is the energy level you want your DJ to have.

If the assigned DJ doesn’t seem like a good fit for any reason, feel free to contact us for re-assignment.

If there will be speakers or equipment on site already, can I get a discounted rate?Unfortunately, we do not offer discounts for using anyone else’s equipment. The equipment that our DJs bring is held up to the quality standards that we expect and want to provide and we cannot guarantee the same for the equipment provided by the venue or other sources. The DJ can test out the equipment the day of to see if they work and have decent sound, but we still would require and prefer to have the DJ bring their own equipment to use during the event so that we can ensure that you get the best quality possible.
-
How much power is required for my DJ?Your DJ will need access to at least one regular 120-volt outlet within 10 feet of their setup. They will bring additional power strips and extension cords to work within that space.

This way, they don’t need to provide their phone numbers or email addresses to get their photos, which can save time or allow more people to use the booth. With our digital booths, guests can text, email, or airdrop the image to themselves directly after it is captured. These booths also create QR codes for each image that they can scan.
