Can you play specific songs or genres at my event?

Absolutely! We work with you through our online planning portal to create a customized playlist that includes your must-play songs and honors any do-not-play requests. Our DJs have extensive music libraries covering all genres from Top 40, Hip-Hop, R&B, Country, Rock, Latin, Reggaeton, Cumbia, to classics from every decade. We also take requests from guests during the event.

Do you provide MC services?

Yes, all our packages include professional MC services. Our DJs are trained MCs who provide confident, tasteful announcements, coordinate your event timeline, introduce speakers, guide guests through activities, and keep your event flowing smoothly. We work with your other vendors through vendor coordination to ensure perfect timing throughout your event.

What happens if the DJ gets sick or has an emergency?

We have a network of professional backup DJs ready to step in if needed. All our DJs are fully trained on our systems and procedures, ensuring consistent quality service. Additionally, we carry liability insurance and always bring backup equipment to ensure your event runs smoothly no matter what.

Do you offer lighting services?

Yes! Lighting is one of our specialties. Our Signature package includes 12 uplights with lighting design guidance, and the Ultimate package includes 20 uplights plus custom monogram projection. A-la-carte options include uplights ($300 for a set of 12, $25 per additional), custom monogram projection ($450), and dancing on a cloud effect ($400). Our lighting transforms your venue with custom colors matched to your event theme.

What is your booking and payment policy?

Key Questions to Ask Your Wedding DJ in Houston

When vetting potential wedding DJs, it's essential to ask targeted questions to ensure they're the right fit for your Houston wedding. Inquire about their experience with diverse cultural music styles, their backup equipment policy, and how they handle song requests. Ask to see reviews from past Houston weddings and confirm they carry liability insurance. A professional DJ like DJ AMP will welcome these questions and provide clear, confident answers.

Why Stem-Separation Technology Sets AMP Events Apart

One standout feature that elevates AMP Events & Lighting is our use of advanced stem-separation technology. This AI-driven audio splitting allows DJ AMP to isolate individual elements of songs — vocals, instruments, and beats — enabling seamless mashups, clean transitions, and custom edits that keep your dancefloor moving while maintaining a polished, classy vibe. No other Houston wedding DJ brings this level of technical sophistication to your reception.
