  • What comes with the Mirror Booth / Photo Booth?
    The Mirror Booth offers the following; Unlimited sessions, attendant to greet and guide your guests, on the spot 4x6 inch print outs of your customized design. To design your Mirror Booth print out please visit our client center. The Photo Booth offers; attendant to greet and guide your guests, ability to send booth session instantly via email, text, airdrop. Names and dates on the booths display monitor. Props we leave up to you because there is nothing like a sweaty mustache from the night before. We find our clients know what props will work better than anyone. Check out your local party store, the dollar store, etsy and or amazon for some really fun stuff - the crazier the better!
  • Where should the Mirror / Photo Booth be set up at our event?
    We highly recommend having either booth in your main reception room. When the booth is in another room it will in fact pull people away from the main room. Most companies will not tell you this because they just want the sale and could care less about the flow or the end result of your night. We've seen this happen many times but would rather be transparent letting you know that it will take away from packing the dance floor.
  • Will the booth take away from my guests dancing?
    It's actually the opposite! From our experience we've seen more dancing because the booth breaks the ice, gets them out of their seats and offers them such a fun thing to do during down portions of the evening.
  • Do you offer unlimited sessions?
    Yes! Your guests have 4 hours of unlimited Mirror Booth and Photo Booth sessions.
  • How much does the Mirror Booth and Photo Booth cost?
    Great question. While a majority of companies do not offer their pricing on their websites we take the opposite approach. You can find all of our pricing for all of our services on our 'upfront pricing link' We are one of the longest standing companies in mobile entertainment and our reputation for nearly 4 decades speaks for itself. We have nothing to hide and won't make you "contact us for more pricing info" (eye roll emojii here). We are confident our value well exceeds our pricing.

  • How much room do I need for the Mirror Booth / Photo Booth?
    Great question! Although it's not as simple as hanging a mirror on the wall we do require just a little bit of space. Here is a breakdown of what is needed. The mirror itself is approximately 3 feet wide, 2 feet deep and 5 1/2 feet tall. Our photobooths are the same height but half the width and depth. Your guests will need about 3 to 4 feet of space in front of the mirror to take group shots We do request a table next to the booths for props and prints.
  • Do you take breaks?
    Our attendants may take a quick bathroom break and eat quickly if meals are provided.
  • Do you offer props?
    Instead of building in an additional $150-$200 to our prices we encourage visit amazon, etsy or your local party store to pick out items that you would know would be a hit with your guests. The crazier the better! Bring the props to your venue and we'll take care of the rest.
  • How many images are on a print?
    There are 3 images on one mirror booth print out. Please see the Mirror Booth deisgns on our 'Client Center' page. The photo booth prints are all digital.
  • Can I use the Mirror Booth outside?
    Although we'd love to have the Mirror outside at every event it depends on the sun as the glare can washe out the screen.
  • Do you offer backdrops? Can we make our own?
    We do not offer backdrops because we find that the guests end up filling up the images and the background is unseen. Additionally, when you have a large backdrop it blocks the view of the mirror itself. Lastly, most of the time the room layout or size of the room does not accomadate. However, if you would like to create or bring a backdrop of your own please let us know ahead of time and we can absoluletly help.
  • Does your Mirror Booth book out?
    Yes! We are one of the few in the state who offer the service. The Mirror is on a first come first serve basis.
  • How many pictures can we take?
    You can take unlimted pictures (sesssions) during the 4 hour duration.
  • How do I customize my Mirror Booth print out?
    We make it easy! You are able to customize your print out in our 'client center' located on the top of our website. Once you submit your design we'll have our graphics department design your request and we'll send you a proof for review. We ask your print out be submitted at least 30 days prior to your event date.
  • How long does it take for the pictures to print out?
    14 seconds for both the mirror and as fast as you can text them to yourself on the photo booth
  • What size are the print outs?
    The Mirror booth print out is 4x6 The photo booth print out is 2x6
  • Can I purchase my own giveaways? Can you distribute them?
    Of course, going to your local party store and purchasing them yourself is great. Simply bring them to your venue and we'll distribute them throughout the night.
  • I found a company offering a better price, can you beat it?"
    As long as they are a local competitor we will glady beat it. Just forward us the documented quote the company has provided you with.
  • How many print outs do we receive per session?
    On average we provide 2 or 3 print outs. Need more? Just ask! :)
  • How many uplights do I need?
    This is one of our more common questions. It all depends on the size of the venue, how much accenting you are looking for and your budget. Having previously worked at a majority of the facilites in NJ we have the knowledge to help you design a perfect up-lighting balance.
  • What color uplights do you have?
    Our uplights are LED lights. What does this mean? We can color mix and get close to your events overall color scheme.
  • Do you have wireless uplights?
    Yes, we have wireless uplights.
  • Are the uplights hot to the touch?
    Our uplights are safe to the tough. LED lights are cool and safe around guests and wondering kids.

    In our client center located on the top of our website you will see all of our forms including the monogram design.
  • How many pictures do I need for my photomontage?
    If you are doing a presentation styled montage at a specific time during the reception the sweet spot is about 50-100. If you would like your images to be displayed through the course of the event you can send considerably more.
  • What are dance lights?
    Dance lighting is a smiple t-bar pole that stands behind the DJ booth completely out of the way. The lights dance to the beat of the music during dance sets adding movement, fun and dance friendly atmosphere. Our simple dance lighting is a more affordable option over our "moving head" club lighting that is mounted on top of several 7 foot steel trusses.
  • Do visual enhancements book out quick?
    Yes, all visual enhancements are on a first come first servce basis.
  • When is my monogram lighting design due?
    Your design is due 1 month prior to your event. Once it is received, the design is sent to our production team where a proof is created for you to review. In most cases proofs are usually ready within 7 days.
  • When is the best time to play my photomontage?
    You have spent the money on the tv screens to display the imafes so use them the entire night. Having your photos on a loop for the duration keeps the flow of your event and guests can enjoy watching as they please.
  • When should I submit my photos for the montage?
    We kindly ask all images be sent digitally at least 30 days prior to the event date. Dropbox is a great way to send the individual, digital images.
  • How many indoor sparklers do I need?
    At the moment we currently offer 4 name brand units. Most facilities will only allow professional sparkler effects with class-D fire estinguishers. We offer both the proper sparkelrs and class-d extinguisher as venue regulations request. Be aware of knock off sparkler systems that can tip over and cause fires.
  • Where will the sparklers be set up?
    In most cases we will have them set up in front of the DJ booth spread an equal distance apart for optimal viewing and of course, for the perect "it" shot!
  • Will your DJ be obnoxious on the microphone?
    Sadly enough this is one of the most asked questions! The answer is simple. NO! You're working with true professtionals with years of experience not Uncle Gary's DJ company. We are grateful to be one of the most awarded, referred and trusted DJ companies in New Jersey. Like you, we are not fans of DJ Uncle Gary.
  • Do you DJ full-time?
    Every weekend for the last few decades!
  • What is your mixing style?
    We offer both straight forward, beat matching mixing along with "club" style mixing. So whether your're looking for simple mixes grandma can get down to or mixes with loops and effects we can do it all. Just let us know!
  • We are having older guests, will the music be to loud?"
    Us DJs always have a laugh when we find out the table of seniors is right next to the DJ booth. Our sound systems are pro-audio. What does this mean to you? Clean, clear, no distortion sound which feels pleasant to the ears. We also elevate our speakers above the tables so we are not blasting any guests directly. We also do several sound checks thoughout the night making sure the volume is appropriate for down times such as dinner as well.
  • Will you introduce our bridal party and make special annoucements?
    Of course! It's what we do! In our client center you will find our planning forms. On these important forms you will enter all the important details we need to take care of.

    The actual DJ is scheduled based on the information, and instructions you provide us in our one on one consultation, and with the information you have entered on your Online Event Planner. Your planning form is due 30 days prior to your date, at which time a final review is scheduled with you DJ to review all details. This will include setup logistics, name pronounciations, music selections and of course answer any questions you may have.
  • Who are your DJs?
    Our staff varies in age from mid-20’s to mid-30’s. They are well spoken, educated, successful, and interesting people with diverse backgrounds, and musical experience.

    We are proud to say, that in nearly 4 decades, we have never missed an event. There is always an assistant, as well as a back-up DJ available who would be familiar with your set of instructions before arriving.
  • What happens if there is equipment faliure?
    Each DJ comes with a back-up equipment in the rare case of an emergency. Consider the advantage of having the equipment on site: If something was to happen, and you hired a service that only has backup equipment on call, you're forced to wait for the replacement equipment, putting a damper on the flow of your evening.
  • Do you take song requests?
    This is entirely up to you. If a guest does request a song that is on your do not play list we will not play it. We care about music programing and keeping a flow to the night. Your event is a living, breathing energy and we want to keep building upon that. Sometimes Uncle Gary's favorite song that he must have played this very moment can swing the energy of a dance floor dramatically.
  • What if I'm looking for a song that is not in your database?
    You might not see it but we probably have it or can purchase it no problem. Please give us enough time to locate any rare songs. We ask your planning form (which will include your play and do not play list) be finally submitted 30 days from your event date.

    Cocktail and dinner music can range anywhere from standards to reggae. We love to encourage you to create an atmosphere that is reflective of your style and musical preferences.

    We use high performance computers at all of our events and we always have backup.
  • Can we come to an actual event?
    Out of respect for our client’s privacy, and yours, should you choose to hire us, we do not schedule “live” viewings. We are happy to meet with you in person to discuss your ideas and concerns.

  • Do I need both an Event Host/DJ and assistant?
    99% of the weddings we perform at a wedding we have a 2 man team. With various equipment / set ups and formal introductions it can be overwhelming for just one staff member. In our experience there have been several times the second person ended up saving the day. We 100% recommended a two man team for so many reasons!

  • What makes Sounds To Go different from other DJ companies?
    For nearly 4 decades we've learned our ability to always adapt to the ever changing market and the needs of todays clientele. We are friendly, fun, and always looking to help improve every aspect of our client’s experience. We steer away from the stereo typical DJ companies who force sales, swear by cheesy props, and do line dances from the 80′s. It is our pledge to continue to always improve as a company and set higher standards for other local NJ DJ companies. Our passion and love for what we do shines through at every event and thats what makes us different.
  • Have you performed at my venue?
    We're grateful to have performed at over 95% of the venues in New Jersey over the last few decades.

We also do several sound checks through out the night making sure the volume is appropriate for down times such as dinner.
  • How do you coordinate with others; such as my caterer, photographer, videographer and others?"
    At your event there will be many different businesses working simultaneously. At Sounds To Go, we like to take on the responsibility of coordinating all of these professionals. We do so because we want your event to be a success in every sense of the word. Making sure all of your vendors know whats next and aren't late to any suprises is extremely important.

  • Where is your company located for meetings?
    We were so grateful to to have huge fancy offices in both Shrewsbury and Red Bank, NJ for 20 years.... ...and then Covid hit and devestated the wedding/event industry. We've adopted to the times and learned having huge overhead was no longer nessessary. We ditched the fancy offices and now are completly mobile (we LOVE it!)

Our success as a company is based around offering clients exactly what they are looking for, with a price that doesn’t exceed their entertainment budget.

    Additional time may be purchased at a rate of $200 per hour, per man, and should be paid directly to your DJ/Assistant/Attendant prior to the start of the additional time. We typically leave this option open and at your discretion so that you can make your decision based on how the evening plays out.
  • What is your gratuity policy?
    We do not have a gratuity policy and you will not see hidden gratuity fees in our contracts. Our staff gives their 100% best at every event because they have respect for you and the success of your event. They do so because it is their responsibility as a Sounds To Go DJ to perform up to our company standards, not because they are trying to earn your tip. Our DJs are paid a fair wage—which is why we have better DJs— we believe gratuity should be a choice made by you, not a suggestion or obligation made by us.
