Two days before, we make sure all equipment is tested, cleaned and packed up before your event.
Q: How early do you arrive to setup your equipment?

Q: How many DJ's come to an event?
A: One DJ and One Emcee/Director is at every event. Our DJ stays with the equipment while the director/emcee deals directly with your guests and the client for direction and time-line purposes assuring everything will flow smoothly as planned.
Q: What is your current song count?
A: Our current library count to date is 40,000 mp3's and added to on almost a daily basis. There aren't many days where we do not update our library.
Q: What is your dress code?
A: Chattanooga Entertainment Group always wants to make sure we look appropriate at your event. Our dress code depends on the event host's request. If you want your DJ to be in formal wear, we will be at your event in formal wear. If you would like us to show up as casual, we will gladly dress in appropriate casual attire in tan slacks and our black Chattanooga Entertainment Group business attire.
Q: Do I need an event planner for my event?
A: With Chattanooga Entertainment Group the answer is no you do not. For most events around 150 guests and under, your DJ and Emcee/Director combined should be all you need when it comes to coordinating and executing your time-line of events. Chattanooga Entertainment Group always work in a team of two, and in some instances three when needed. The DJ stays with the equipment, and the Emcee/Director announces, coordinates, and executes all time lined details within your event. Coordinator availability for things such as a wedding ceremony and rehearsal are also available through Chattanooga Entertainment Group for a small additional fee.
Q: What if I already have a Wedding Coordinator?
A: If you already have a Wedding Coordinator that you have hired, it is very important for your Wedding Coordinator to be in total communication with your DJ on your event time-line so that your DJ and the coordinator are on the same page. A Coordinator should also have their own time-line and be in contact with the DJ before the event is to take place, and exchange notes. It is crucial that the coordinator you hired and your DJ are in complete understanding of when events are supposed to happen the day of your event. (Ex: Gathering of the bridal party for their announcements, dances, cake cutting, etc.) If any changes occur before or during the event in the time line that was initially planned, it is important that your DJ know what has changed in a timely manner through your coordinator. All of this is so that everything will flow smoothly for the day of your wedding or event as initially planned.
