## Frequently asked questions
- Q: Can we control the playlist?
  A: Yes — we build it together. Must-plays, do-not-plays and the overall feel come from you; our DJs handle the reading of the room and the mixing in between.
- Q: Can the DJ perform with live musicians?
  A: Yes. DJ-live pairings — saxophone, percussion, violin or guitar layered over the set — are one of our signatures, for cocktail hours and peak dance sets alike.
- Q: Do your DJs also MC?
  A: We pair DJs with dedicated hosts, including bilingual MCs fluent in up to six languages, so the music and the moments each get full attention.
- Q: What equipment do you bring?
  A: Professional-grade sound and lighting scaled to your venue, set up and tested well before guests arrive, with backup planning as standard.

  A: For peak-season Oheka dates we recommend booking nine to twelve months ahead, as prime Saturdays are reserved early.

  A: Pricing is customized to your celebration — date, guest count, venue and any add-ons like an MC or live musicians. The best next step is a tailored quote.
- Q: Does Genesis Events perform at Oheka Castle?
  A: Yes. Oheka Castle is one of the premier Long Island estates we regularly serve, and we tailor entertainment to its ballrooms, terrace and gardens.

  A: The Terrace Room seats up to around 350 guests for dinner and dancing, with the Grand Ballroom hosting ceremonies and cocktails and the Olmsted-designed gardens staging outdoor vows. The castle can confirm current configurations.
- Q: How much does wedding entertainment cost at Oheka Castle?
  A: Pricing is customized to your celebration. A professional wedding DJ is the foundation, with optional add-ons like a bilingual MC, live musicians, ceremony sound and lighting design. The best next step is a tailored quote for your date and guest count.

  A: Yes. Our hosts are fluent in up to six languages, ideal for multicultural weddings that bring families and traditions together.
