It happens. You put your deposit down and the DJ but he has a new job now, or worse yet leaves the island. Kustom Sounds Kauai has stepped in more than once to help a bride who went with a discount service that had only been in business for a short while. Make sure the DJ Company you choose has roots on the island. How many years have they been in business? Check their references – does your DJ rent or own their home? Does he/she have another job and DJ only part time?

Kustom Sounds Kauai is a solid, established company of professionals founded on service and commitment. Kustom Sounds Kauai Owner/DJ, Michael Dandurand, has been a resident of Kauai since 1986 and has lived in his own home in Wailua Homesteads since 1993.

The commitment questions relates to how important your wedding is to the Dj service you are hiring? Do they respond quickly to your inquiry? If they are not familiar with the venue, will they do a site inspection for you? Are they willing to meet with you when you arrive? Do they make suggestions or offer to help with your program or music selection? Do they have a well-established website that is easy to navigate and offers helpful suggestions and options?

KSK responds to all inquiries within 48 hours usually with a personal call from the Owner, Michael Dandurand to introduce himself and review your vision and answer any questions. The KSK website, kskauai.com, provides pictures and bios of each dj, pictures of all of options, past events, lighting ideas and top song lists.

How a company or service is regarded in the industry is critical when hiring a reliable company. Does the company have an office or work out of a garage? Do other vendors say good things about the DJs and recommend the company? Do they work well together? Is the company involved with any professional organizations or industry associations?

Anyone can buy a DJ kit … and they may even be able to mix 2 songs together! However, many DJ services do not provide a DJ that can smoothly and professionally MC. Some companies will charge extra for a Master of Ceremony. So the real question is: does your DJ have the MC skill to carry your wedding reception from start to finish?

• An MC will keep the evening flowing, making sure your guests know what’s going on and what’s coming up next.
• A good MC will get the crowd on their feet and pumped up for your grand entrance and the sincere welcoming of guests.
• A great MC will also know everyone’s name and will have already been working closely with vendors and coordinators for a seamless and smooth evening.

Kustom Sounds Kauai has been performing at weddings and events on Kauai since 1986. All Kustom Sounds Kauai DJs are experienced wedding and event MCs.

Anyone can say they are a DJ. Simply owning a computer and some speakers does not make you a DJ. They now sell DJ-In-A-Box, lol!

There is no certification or license vocation for Professional DJs. One test is to compare years of DJ experience, as well as years of experience in the wedding and event industry. How long have you been a DJ? How long have you been in the wedding industry? How many weddings do you typically perform for in a year? Can the DJ answer questions about your program, song selection, vendor recommendations? Do they have the ability to read the room? And the musical prowess to manipulate the room?

Each Kustom Sounds Kauai DJ is personally trained by Owner, Michael Dandurand who has been DJing weddings and events since 1986. He has personally performed well over 4,000 events in his successful career.
