Frankly, there are too many average and below average, a number of good, and a few great DJ companies in the area. Even fewer who provide the value that we do. We will not "sell" you on our service. We don't book more than 2 events on the same day. You get the owner of the company, or your choice of two of our other tremendously talented, professional DJ's. We do not broker DJ services, so you will meet and work with your DJ from day one. We recognize the importance of your special event, and treat it like our own. The DJ you choose can make or break your event, and we are committed to making your event the very best. The DJ you select is responsible for a great deal more than playing music. At Old School Entertainment, we present the best DJ value in the Cincinnati and Dayton market.

Not at all. What it means is that we have been DJs almost since the beginning of "DJ Time". We started when the craft included records, two turntables, and a tube amplifier. There were no wireless mics, or mp3 files, and hip hop was a "new fad". Our name speaks to our experience, and ability DJ your event....Not just press play.

Old School Entertainment carries a 1,000,000 general liability insurance policy. If you or your venue need additional coverage or specific riders, we offer them at a fee.

The amount of sound you will need depends on a number of factors including the size of the venue, the type of music, and your personal taste. We incorporate speakers amplifiers, processing, and speaker size based upon the most common situations, and variables using those factors as a basis. Events which will have genres focused on beat and bass, venues with large open spaces, or if "acoustic body" is your preference overall, should include sub woofers.

Old School Entertainment has packaged services based upon the most frequently requested items, and offers customized packaging for events off the beaten path. All packages, (including the customized ones) include all pro grade sound equipment, lighting, emcee duties, planning tools, consultation, set up, break down, and travel (within 50 miles).

Misunderstandings are embarrassing! On your event day, the last thing you want is service providers chasing you down for payment. The last thing the DJ wants, is to need to chase a client down for payment. The rental facility, cake, transportation, caterer, and other needed items were all taken care of in advance. Honestly, we are no different.

Typically, the deposit is $300 (non-refundable).

The balance is due 7 days prior to the event.

Old School Entertainment LLC believes in fairness. If you must cancel or reschedule your event, we afford you two options. Your deposit may be applied to a the rescheduled date (subject to availability), OR if we are able to rebook the date of your cancellation, we will issue you a refund of your deposit less 15%.

You will not find Old School Entertainment at bridal shows, or in a full page color yellow page ad. Both of which are tremendously expensive, and the costs of which are passed on to the client. We have no desire to have 10-20 events occurring on the same day, and we don't carry balances that need collection. We advertise only on select wedding websites, to minimize our costs. Your special event should not come off of an assembly line, and your future should not be mortgaged on your event.

Professionals don't guess. They come into a situation with a detailed understanding of objectives, client needs, wants, and expectations. Anything less presents an opportunity for unwanted results.

We specialize in more "formal events", such as weddings, reunions, birthdays, anniversaries, and corporate functions. Although we do perform at general parties, and an occasional night spot.

At Old School Entertainment DJs carry both the original, and radio edits of most songs. We err on the side of caution. Unless specifically requested by the client, the radio edit will be the one we play.

Old School Entertainment customizes its music to each client's desires. Our staff is very knowledgeable in ALL genres of music.....From Pop to Polka, and everything in between. Our planning suite and consultative process insures the music you want.

Our arrival will be a minimum 1 hour prior to event start. Most often, we arrive much earlier to perform sound check, or when longer set up times are needed.

Old School Entertainment evaluates its gear both pre and post event, however, we do bring back up amps, and other items that can fail without warning.

One 6ft banquet table with linens, and adequate power (120 volt 20amp grounded outlet) within 25ft of DJ set up. *Avoid placing tables between the DJ and the dance floor. Your guests will thank you. If you do not have linens please let us know.

You hire a DJ company to provide DJ entertainment for your event.
If your desire is to "iPod" your event, sound system rental may be best for you. We gladly accommodate any and all requests at your consent.

A client's wedding is not an audition hall, and we respect that. We are more than happy to provide you a list of references, and online reviews. Several of our past clients have an open door policy to contacting them. You may find those clients in our Satisfaction Survey results on the "DJ Reviews" page. We certainly invite you to attend any public events in which our services are used

This is a new question that we recently received...The answer is simple…ABSOLUTELY! We provide entertainment for EVERYONE. We respect the rights of all people. Our job is to ensure a memorable and enjoyable entertainment experience...PERIOD.
