Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: We are a professional, reliable, responsible and experienced duo in all types of events and our main objective is to provide first class entertainment for your event at an affordable price. We bring the music, dancing and fun to any event so you don't have to worry about a thing. We always include the extras in our quote making City Beat Entertainment Productions the best value: MC services, basic effect lighting, travel expenses, back up equipment, wireless mic's and lavalier's, pro sound gear, and set up and tear down at 2cd ceremony locations nearby. Having an assistant DJ is invaluable when you have 2 set up locations (for example at a wedding) and your guests are transitioning immediately from one to the other location. You don't want to lose your DJ while he/she is tearing down your ceremony location or even worse-they need the sound equipment from your ceremony to set up for cocktails or reception! We have multiple sound set ups. You'll have no music down time when you use City Beat. We stay on top of everything and do all the behind-the-scenes co-ordination. We plan ahead and make it right- just for you. We'll take as much or as little direction as you'd like to provide. Don't have time to think about music? No worries. We'll make it happen. We take requests! We create 1st dance experiences! We co-ordinate closely with your event or day-of planner! We'll take the time to answer all your questions and help you create a music package perfect for your speical day/event. Our production company also includes a live cover band experienced in all event types. Soloists, duets, trios and up to 8 pieces. All genres of music. We can offer the best quotes if you'd like both live and DJ music for your event. Our background is radio and sound engineering and music production and performance. Starting at 16, Ernie was a DJ at a small radio station in western North Carolina. As the years passed, he improved his craft and moved to larger stations along the east coast, playing country, oldies, Top 40 and rock. Now Ernie does sound engineering for events and bands in the Atlanta area and, of course, DJ's weddings, corporate/private parties and fundraisers. His love for music has never waned and that is why he wants to be the one to make music for YOU. Donna has many decades of music instruction, performance and business development and has managed the City Beat business both live cover band and DJ services. You have a great duo of knowledge and experience when you hire City Beat!

City Beat Entertainment was by far one of the most professional and prepared DJ vendors that I have ever booked. They did their homework, came early and flowed well with our guests. They had an amazing setup with lights, fog machine, great music and friendliness. They also worked extremely hard with my difficult crowd to make sure everyone was happy!! I give them 5 stars and would have them back to entertain any event - our Halloween party was better with having them. Honest, reliable, and life of the party!!

I am a retired major market broadcaster and professional announcer of 40 years. I pioneered mobile DJ services beginning back in the early 70's and I have to give Donna and Earl of CITY BEAT ENTERTAINMENT PRODUCTIONS an unconditional A+++++++ for their outstanding work at my daughter, Dana's wedding on April 2nd of this year. The music selection, the segues from one genre to another which allowed for every age group to enjoy and participate was no less than genius. It was non-stop music and fun; the appointed announcements were timed perfectly on cue at just the right moments when the crowd was best prepared and settled for a particular wedding ritual (garder toss, bouquet toss, first dance, etc., etc.). In short, I was absolutely amazed at the non-stop, error free work by these two talented individuals. I highly recommend Donna and Earl. If you want to book the best, ask for them specifically. I can guarantee you will be delighted with their performance. Dave Straub (Father of the Bride). 4/10/17

You are so kind and we appreciate your time in putting together this message. It was a pleasure to be a part of Dana & Danny's wedding. A beautifull day, a beautiful setting and 2 beautiful people. We wish them love and happiness! Again, thank you! Donna

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    If you are looking for a quote for a December 2017 Friday or Saturday evening corporate or private party, please add $50 to our quote. If you are looking for a NYE quote, please add $100 to our quote. Thank you We can give the best quotes if you are considering both live and DJ music services. We can provide 5 star soloists, duets, trios and up to an 8 piece or more live cover band! Musicians, DJ, sound gear, lighting and effects are all there anyway so we don't have to charge you like they are separate providers!

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Our typical process for working with a new customer is to first get the details of the event such as date, time, location, venue specifics and then when the customer is ready to move forward, we provide an easy to read and understand contract and a choice in deposit payment methods. We provide music and event forms to make it easy to describe more specifics about their event and prepare for the right music. When we get closer to the event, we provide all the necessary communications with their planner(s), officiants, caterers, venue owners and/or music solists or special music groups or guests so that everything is thought of, covered and the event runs smoothly. We work closely with all the event personnel and maintain open communications for an effortless event. We tear-down quickly and efficiently and leave a venue exactly as we found it! We are very pleased and know the job is well done when our clients can write great reviews for us!

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    As a customer thinking about your future event, we advise thinking about how long your DJ service provider has been in business and what type of business knowledge and customer support as well as sound and music technical experience they offer. Will they still be in business in 9 or 12 months when my event is scheduled? Do they understand people and are ready to do what it takes to make a joyful, fun memory? Will they play/feature the music I want and be sensitive to my needs? Will they want to do it my way or their way? We provide music from the original artists and will find/play anything that you would like. We do not do 'live mixing' of music or create our own music tracks except for creating special '1st dance' type of mixing/cueing. You will want to continue looking at other DJ's if you would like those features. We are always working for you and your guests without being overly interactive or introducing any flavor/attitude to your event that you dont want.
