After figuring out what style of DJ you prefer, it really comes down to two things: Resources and Value.

Resources: Once you have made your initial deposit, we will provide you with all the right tools and information that you will need to help communicate what your music and event expectations are. The truth is that most DJ companies don’t know how to ask the right questions, and that often leaves the DJ uninformed and unable to deliver a quality experience.

Metro Beats resources are designed to make sure your event is just the way you want it, with no unpleasant surprises.

Value: Value is determined by a core mix of metrics: professionalism, ease of communication, response times, online resources, flexibility, equipment, time at event and price. The ultimate question for you is: What sort of value can the DJ company provide to your wedding?

Metro Beats all-inclusive flat rate package has everything you want and need at an unbeatable price. Our value is unparalleled in the Portland and Washington, which is one of the many reasons we have been and continue to be a leader in the industry. However, if you find the same quality of service for less than we offer, we will be happy to price match any competitors’ package. 

When you compare DJ services side by side it seems as though each one boasts that they have the best sound and light equipment. Many companies go to great lengths to tell you why their equipment is better. Let’s pause for a second and consider this important question: What role does equipment play at your reception?

Well obviously, without equipment, you would not have the means to play the music or set the mood. However, the equipment by itself is of little value to you if there isn’t a trained individual operating the controls. Equipment is only one piece of the puzzle.

Since each DJ company makes its own choice concerning equipment, the next question you should ask yourself is: What influences their decisions? How do they decide between the myriad of lighting effects, amps, watts, and speakers? Metro Beats takes a comprehensive approach that addresses two imperative issues: Quality and Space.

Quality: Does the sound and light system provide quality sound and proper lighting?

Space: Does the sound and light system limit its invasiveness? The equipment should not detract from your event site’s ambiance.

If you feel overwhelmed with the equipment issue, take a moment to put it into perspective. Thinking about it in these terms may be helpful:

When you go to a job interview, does an employer doesn't ask you about all the features of your car. The employer is thinking about the value you can bring to the company. It is assumed that you have a reliable method of transportation to get to work.

Just like getting to work is your responsibility, DJ equipment is ours. Professional and up-to-date equipment should be a necessity to be in business, not a key point of differentiation. Metro Beats has a professional sound and light system that is right for you and your site.

With over 20,000 songs and constantly growing, our music library is quite extensive.  However, if we don’t have a song/s you would like, just add the song name and artist to the Supplementary Song section of your DJ profile and we will get it for you. In the rare instance that we are unable to locate the song you request, we will ask you to provide it to us on a CD or mp3, at least three weeks before your wedding.

Our DJs vary in their years with Metro Beats, but all have one important thing in common: they produce great events! We proactively seek out only personable, professional, and hard-working individuals with a love of music to join our team. We believe that many of the skills required to be a good DJ can be taught, but integrity, personality, and character are core assets to make sure that our new DJs develop all these important details of service, they participate in our DJ Mentor Program, which combine classroom learning and on-the-job training.
