A good time frame would be at least six months before the event, although many of our DJs are now booking 1 year in advance. We do have DJs usually open for last minute shows.

This is up to you. Many times the catering director or banquet captain will set aside a meal for vendors is you request it. If we have the time, we will partake. If you are not doing anything for your vendors, don’t worry about it.
