Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 2008

Cutting Edge — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:09:02 +0000

Recently (a few hours ago), a client who had called in to inquire about our services asked if I would mind answering a few questions from a questionnaire she had found online regarding DJ services. Apparently she had stumbled upon this list in her online quest to find a disc jockey for her upcoming event. I was actually pretty impressed with the list and subsequently asked her to email me a copy so that I might have it for my own records… and that’s when I decided to blog it.

A: Cutting Edge Entertainment has been in business for sixteen years.

Q: What is the attire suitable for your wedding DJs?

Q: How vast is your music collection?

A: Interesting question. Our music library was vast and our music knowledge was quite broad before the Internet. With the Internet it it limitless.
