Party Dj | Murphysboro IL

Party DJ FAQ — Murphysboro, IL

Who shows up to DJ my party in Murphysboro?

Terry Tunks, every time — no subcontractors, no rotating staff. The person you talk to on the phone is the person running your sound and mic on the day, and that's been true for 1,200-plus events with zero no-shows.

Is there a travel fee for Murphysboro?

Yes — Murphysboro is Zone 5, a flat $400 added to the package price and shown as its own line in your quote before you sign. It never gets blended into the package number.

Is there a deposit?

Yes. Once we've talked through your date, I hold it for 7 days with no payment. A 50% retainer, non-refundable, then locks it in the moment it clears. The balance is due on the first of the month before your event.

Do you ever need to stay overnight?

For most bookings this far out, it depends on the schedule. If load-in, teardown, or a late end time makes the drive home unsafe, lodging is billed separately at $200 per room per night and disclosed in your quote before you sign — never a surprise afterward.

Can we plug in our own playlist?

You can, but you don't need to — send me your list and I'll work it in and read the room around it. If you'd rather run a playlist yourself for part of the night, that's fine too.

Do you MC, or just play music?

Whatever fits your party. Some want announcements, games, and a hype man; others want great music and no mic. Tell me your style and I'll match it.

Will your setup look tidy?

Yes. Cables are managed, the table is skirted, and the rig fits the room rather than dominating it. It should look like it belongs there.

What music do you play?

Whatever your crowd wants. I've DJ'd since 1987, so the library runs from motown and classic rock to current pop, country, and hip-hop. You set the direction; I read the room from there.
