Yes, if you book early, you get me. These are two other DJ’s that work for Saturn’s 8, Ross Martin and Matt Heilman. Both are experienced DJ’s who fill in for me when I am not available for various reasons. The goal of Saturns 8 DJs is to remain small to keep our quality high. We do not want to water down our talent pool by expanding too quickly—actually we don’t have designs to get any larger than we are. It is important to reserve your date early to ensure my personal availability for your occasion.
Yes on both! The contract is designed to protect us both. We aim to protect your event and make sure you are comfortable with the terms of the contract. We have no hidden fees, so no hidden charges as clients know everything in advance of signing the contract. Let us know if you want to see a sample. We would be happy to provide a copy!
No—I focus on one event at a time so I can be our best for that client. I mostly work at one event per week—and I concentrate all of my effort to make that party the best it can be!
Yes. We believe in marriage equality at Saturns 8.
We use our amazing crowd reading abilities and our pre-wedding planning. We have a conference with our clients before each event to gather information about the songs our clients and their guests will love and we build a set around that style—and BAM! The floor is filled. We crowd read to see what people are moving to and continue to play music that is going to keep them there! We beat match—which is a great skill to keep a floor active. We are also pleasant and kind to the guests—allowing them to feel comfortable with us—graciously accepting and playing appropriate requests that match the theme of music the couple has set.
This is why we assign two DJ’s to every event we do. In the event that something happens to me, Ross or Matt—one of whom will be assigned to the party in advance will take over seamlessly. They too will then bring an assistant so there is always someone to cover your party. You will not be without music at a Saturns 8 event—this is because we take the time to plan for that emergency in advance to protect you and your party!
Graciously, yes. However, we adhere strictly to our clients “do not play” list and avoid songs that will not match the flavor of the evening. We listen to requests while guiding them in a way that will help the party stay true to the tastes of our clients creating a natural musical flow for the party. Much of this depends on our clients’ wishes conveyed during the pre-event preparation meetings.
We are always professionally dressed for an event—period.
No—the dance music rolls all night long!
We don’t drink or smoke during events—ever!
We never do at a wedding. We do not market ourselves at your party. If a person requests a card from us—we graciously comply—but at no time during the party do we promote our business. Your event is your own, and we will do nothing to compromise that.
Yes—I, Andrew Paul Larson own and operate Saturns 8 Entertainment.
