Booking & Payment
Can we meet before booking?
Yes. We can do an initial meet and greet for us to put a face on each other and have a relaxed chat about your event. If it’s inconvenient I can do everything online via email and Whatsapp. Some of my clients are located overseas and do enjoy being able to plan everything without being there in person.
How long will you hold the date for us?
Unless a deposit is made, I will hold a date up until 1 month before the event. In the event another booking comes in for the same date, I will send a notification to alert you about the deposit. You will lose the date if the second booking is able to make the deposit after my notification.
Payment terms
Payment terms are quite flexible depending on the total amount of the booking. If you require a different payment plan, just let me know and we’ll work something out.
For small bookings of below RM2000, 50% as deposit and 50% 1 week before the event day
For larger bookings of RM2000 and above, 30% as deposit, 50% in between, and 20% before the event day
Full payments are also appreciated
What happens if you can’t come?
If there is at least 1 months’ notice to your event, we can discuss an alternative DJ or vendor for your event. If you choose a different vendor, any payment up to this point will be refunded 100% to you.
In the event I am personally unable to perform with less than 1 weeks’ notice, I will find a replacement amongst my DJ contacts to work your event and make sure he or she can play to your tastes.
For cancellations due to weather, unsafe conditions, or other reasons not related to myself, we can discuss a reschedule if I am not already on site. In the event of a cancellation when I am making my way over or arrived, no refunds are available.
Can we rent equipment without a DJ?
Yes. Some events don’t really require a DJ or already have one, so asking me for gear is perfectly workable. Need just an iPod on shuffle but don’t want to build playlists? I can create custom playlists suited for autoplay for you for a reduced fee.
Why is the rate different for different types of events? (ex. Wedding vs. Corporate)
I provide flexible levels of service depending on your budget and event expectations. There is a lot of pre-show preparation that most clients don't see, and there may be additional equipment used on the day to fit a client's needs for their event.
Playmochi's Skills
How long have you been a DJ and how many events have you done?
I learned how to DJ in 2012, and performed publicly in the same year. I have done over 70 unique event performances (weddings and so on) with about double that unrecorded in my files such as cash performances, small house parties, and other private events.
What makes you different?
I give great service by being polite, conscientious, and flexible.
I take pride in giving your wishes full attention, playing the songs you want while adding my own flair to the playlist to keep your guests entertained.
I am knowledgeable in many aspects of partying, such as how sound and lighting work, having an eye for aesthetics in your venue, and general knowledge about what makes people have a good time.
Can you emcee?
I have not had much experience emceeing events, though I have been practicing during my own events. I won’t be a true Master of Ceremonies that will wow your crowd, but I can get people going in the right direction with a few words.
How involved can we be in selecting music?
You can be as involved as you like, or take no part in choosing the music. For best performance you should name a dozen songs or more for me to build a musical profile.
At the very least, you can let me know what kind of music you like (general genres are fine). If you’re hands off though, I will play whatever I deem is best for your guests on the day itself.
When do we need to submit music requests and event details?
You should submit your event details latest 1 month before your event.
You can complete your music requests up until 2 weeks before the event, but sooner is better as I do need to practice your special requests.
Submissions later than the deadlines may result in a less-than-ideal performance due to other work.
Do you take requests from guests?
In almost all cases, yes! I enjoy playing for the people. However I reserve the right to choose which requests I play; you hired me to pick the music for your event after all.
