Frequently Asked Questions

We have the perfect solution! Cope Entertainment provides an All-Inclusive DJ/MC Wedding Ceremony and Reception package with a 21 year veteran at a surprisingly affordable rate.

Fun and engaging! No one wants a DJ/MC that feels forced or insincere, which is why we remain true to character with a natural approach to our performances. We’re not your stereotypical ‘cheesy’ wedding DJ, but we can be if that is theme you wish to create!

First and foremost, we don’t treat our clients like commodities. Our All-Inclusive package has been thoughtfully designed around this unique concept. We are interested in getting to know who you are, what you love, and how we can best serve your needs for an unforgettable 5-Star performance.

Yes, we do! While venue recommendations are very specific to one’s needs, we do have close working relationships with a few local, Sacramento gems: Scribner Bend Vineyards & The Firehouse Restaurant. Cope Entertainment appreciates the luxury atmosphere and environment, top-notch staff and 4-5 Star on-site catering these venues have to offer.

The wedding entertainment industry has been completely redefined over the last 25 years. In this time, the role of a wedding DJ has slowly evolved into a full-service entertainment specialist. An experienced professional will incorporate due diligence in planning and background information with couples, coordinate between vendors, create a timeline, create playlists for all sections of the event, line up the wedding party, facilitate the toasts, cake cutting and spotlight dances, and then of course, they must also have the ability to be an impressive and knowledgeable DJ/MC that can read the crowd and keep them entertained.

Even if there won’t be any dancing at an event, the list of services a DJ provides still apply, including timeline creation and event coordination, PA and wireless mic rentals, lighting, photo booths, etc. Many people are under the misconception that wedding DJ’s bring lights and speakers and blow into a mic before pressing play like there is nothing to it. If you are looking for a seamless ceremony and reception, you will need the skills and experience of a professional entertainment specialist.

The possibilities are endless! If you are searching for a specific style, era, or ethnicity in your music selection, you’ll find it with Cope Entertainment!

Cancellations made in a timely manner will result in a full refund.

Whenever you would like! If our availability is open, you can book Cope Entertainment the same week of your event. We recommend an early booking to ensure our availability on your chosen day, and ample time to plan a memorable celebration.

Our event team requires a hot meal and soft drinks for the duration of your special event. Similar to any other job, breaks are required by law. We strategically build our breaks into the event to avoid affecting our ability to perform when required. 

Yes, Cope Entertainment is insured.

We are experienced professionals who dress to fit the event. Most weddings require formal wedding attire, but we have accommodated every request from jeans and sandals to kilts!

Cope Entertainment’s All-Inclusive package starts with 6 hours for weddings and 5 hours for corporate events. Overtime can be added as needed, and discounts are available for events that require less time.

We ask that you have your performance venue and stage area available to Cope Entertainment no later than 2 hours prior to the scheduled performance. For set up, we typically arrive 90-120 minutes prior to the event.

Yes, of course we do! Cope Entertainment brings the necessary equipment (with built in redundancy) to cover most any equipment failure you can imagine.

The show must go on! We have provided 25 years of dedicated service without missing a single scheduled performance. If your DJ/MC were unable to perform, we are fully prepared to provide you with a vetted, experienced professional.

As a Cope Entertainment client, you will have access to our Client Portal. Here you will find a custom online planner and event consultation sheet to help organize event details. We ask all of the pertinent questions so that you can provide us everything we need to know about your special day.
