Yes, he likes to beatmix as often as possible for a seamless performance and create ambience in the background, or to maintain or build energy on your dance-floor.

Depending on the size of the event and the services required (DJ, live stream and/or projections) set-up time may take anywhere between 45mins to 3hours.

Pack-down is usually a bit faster.
DJ Dumplings will recommend compiling up to maximum of 150 songs into a playlist (Spotify / Youtube / Apple/ Tidal / etc) and he will help prepare and manage between background music and dance floor bangers.

For most events that last between 4-6 hours, only about 80-90 songs get played because there are formalities / games in between. The 60-70 extra songs are a buffer to maximise and improve the DJ set.

A 30min to 1 hour Zoom meeting will be suggested for important events such as weddings to get to know each other and discuss music preparation ideas and activities.
DJ Dumplings will source music from such sources as:
1/ mp3million.com
2/ record pools (e.g. Dj City)
Depends on the song. Some songs are expected not to be mixed e.g. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

In your contact form comments, or interactions with DJ Dumplings, please let him know your preference.

Some clients prefer to give DJ Dumplings creative responsibility, and some others prefer songs to be mixed faster, and some want to ensure the good parts aren't cut out.
Definitely. Please let DJ Dumplings know early on, and mark the check-box for clean edits required in the contact form when enquiring.

We understand there may be children, executives, your own clients and/or conservatives at your event so it's better to deliver a clean DJ set.
DJ Dumplings will be happy to connect to the in-house sound system so long as you are happy with the quality of the in-house sound system. Some are great, and some are terrible and DJ Dumplings can politely discuss with the venue or their preferred AV supplier.
Yes if you want. This is normally recommended to engage with guests. Requests can also be taken with conditions such as your "do not play list".

No if you want to. If so, please ensure you submit the x150 songs in the playlist to ensure there is no confusion on the event day on what to play as music can be every subjective to each person's taste.
Yes in most cases. If you have a destination event which is more than 1 hour outside of Sydney the travel costs will be packaged into the quote.

If the destination is more than 2 hours from Sydney, DJ Dumplings may require up to x2 nights of hotel accommodation, which will also be included into the total quote.
The sooner the better, as DJ Dumplings is taking bookings which are as far as two years in advance.

It's recommended to book in DJ Dumplings x3-6 months prior to the event date at the moment.
DJ Dumplings' general dress code is formal (bow-tie, suspenders, trousers and leather boots). If you have something specific you'd like him to wear please mention this in your enquiry.
Yes and it's encouraged to satisfy and entertain your guests.
Yes, DJ Dumplings would LOVE to work with your band or musician.

He is happy to allow most bands and musicians to plug into his sound system and work together to give you the best event possible.

Another major benefit is reducing clutter in the room, and for the band to move quickly from one event with less set-up. (e.g. ceremony to reception)
Yes, he also LOVES to help his clients and couples edit their music.

The two main reasons:
1/ Shorten the first dance song because it's too long
2/ For a fun choreography mashing multiple song snippets
