General Questions
What services does Booker Entertainment provide?
We offer professional mobile DJ services and digital photo booth rentals for events throughout Las Vegas and the surrounding area. Our DJ services include full sound systems, event lighting, MC services, and customized playlists for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, school dances, proms, holiday parties, and private gatherings. The photo booth is available as a standalone rental or bundled with any DJ package.
What areas does Booker Entertainment serve?
We serve Las Vegas and the full metro area, including the Strip, Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas, and downtown. We work at hotels, convention centers, private event venues, rooftop spaces, outdoor locations, and private residences across the region. Have a venue outside these areas? Contact us, and we'll let you know if we can make it work.
Is Booker Entertainment insured?
Yes. We carry full liability insurance and can provide a Certificate of Insurance to your venue before the event. Most Las Vegas hotels, convention centers, and private event spaces require vendor insurance documentation, and we keep everything ready to submit on your timeline.
How long has Booker Entertainment been operating in Las Vegas?
We've worked hundreds of events across Las Vegas, from ballrooms at Strip hotels to backyard birthday celebrations and everything in between. Our experience spans corporate galas with 500 guests down to intimate wedding ceremonies of 20. That range is what makes us good at reading a room before the room even knows what it needs.
DJ Services
What types of events do you DJ?
We provide professional DJ services for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, school dances, proms, homecomings, holiday parties, award galas, outdoor events, product launches, retirement parties, graduation celebrations, and private gatherings of all kinds. If your event isn't on that list, just ask. Chances are, we've done something similar.
Do you provide MC services in addition to DJ services?
Yes, and this is one of the most underrated parts of hiring a professional DJ. MC services are available as part of any package. This includes making announcements, managing program transitions, introducing speakers or guests of honor, running a toast sequence at weddings, keeping your event on schedule, and handling anything unexpected without breaking the mood. We can dial the MC involvement up or down based on exactly what your event needs.
What equipment do you bring?
Standard packages include a professional sound system sized for your venue and guest count. Uplighting, intelligent lighting, and additional sound coverage for large or multi-room venues are available as add-ons. We handle all setup and breakdown, and we arrive early enough that everything is tested and ready before your first guest walks in.
Can we request specific songs or create a do-not-play list?
Absolutely. Before your event, we sit down with you to go through music preferences, must-play songs, and anything you want to avoid. We build a plan around your crowd and your night, not a generic template. You can be as detailed as you want, or give us broad direction and trust us to fill in the rest. Either approach works.
Do you take requests from guests during the event?
Yes, and managing those requests is part of what a skilled DJ does. We take requests, weigh them against the energy of the room and the music plan you've approved, and make real-time decisions that keep the night flowing. Not every request will fit the moment, but we handle that gracefully so no guest feels dismissed.
Do you bring your own lighting, or does the venue provide it?
We include professional event lighting in most of our setups. This typically includes dance floor lighting and the sound system. Uplighting, stage lighting, and specialty effects are available as upgrades. Some venues have in-house lighting systems; we'll coordinate with your venue team to ensure everything is integrated properly.
How far in advance should I book a DJ for my event?
For large corporate events, galas, and holiday parties, we recommend booking 3 to 6 months out. Wedding receptions should be booked 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for popular spring and fall dates. Smaller birthday parties and private events can often be accommodated with 4 to 8 weeks of notice, though booking early always gives you more flexibility. Las Vegas has a high volume of events year-round, and popular weekends go fast.
Photo Booth Rental
What type of photo booth does Booker Entertainment offer?
We offer a digital photo booth that delivers photos directly to guests' phones via text or email, instantly. It's a sleek, modern setup that works well at both formal and casual events. Guests can capture photos, GIFs, and boomerangs, and every image is delivered to their device in seconds. No printing delays, no lines waiting for strips to cut, just instant sharing.
What is included in a photo booth rental?
Every rental includes booth setup, a professional backdrop, unlimited photo sessions for your guests, and digital delivery of all captured images. Custom branding and event overlays are available so your photos reflect your event. After the event, you also receive a full digital gallery of everything taken that night.
How many photos can guests take?
Sessions are unlimited. Your guests can use the booth as many times as they want during the rental period. If your guest count is large and you're planning a longer event, we can discuss whether a second booth or extended hours make sense for your setup.
Can the photo booth be customized for our event or brand?
Yes. We can add custom event overlays, company logos, wedding monograms, or event-specific branding to every photo. This is particularly popular for corporate events where branded content gets shared across social media during and after the event. Tell us your theme, colors, or brand guidelines and we'll build it out before your event.
How much space does the photo booth require?
Plan for roughly a 10-by-10-foot footprint, including the backdrop area. We'll need access to a standard electrical outlet within reach of the setup. Before your event, share your venue layout with us and we'll help identify the best placement to maximize guest traffic without competing with the dance floor or other activity areas.
Can you set up the photo booth outdoors?
Yes, with some conditions. Outdoor setups work well in covered or semi-covered areas where wind and direct sunlight are controlled. We'll need access to power and a stable surface for the setup. Share your venue details with us early so we can plan the right equipment configuration.
I already hired a photographer. Why would I also need a photo booth?
A photographer captures the planned moments: the ceremony, the speeches, the posed portraits. A photo booth captures something different entirely. It gives your guests a spontaneous, interactive experience and lets them walk away with a photo from your event on their phones. The two services complement each other rather than overlap. Many couples and event planners say the photo booth images are among their favorites from the night.
Booking and Pricing
How much does it cost to hire a DJ in Las Vegas?
Every event is different, so our pricing is customized based on the event type, duration, guest count, venue, and any add-ons like MC services or photo booth rental. We don't publish flat rates because a 4-hour birthday party and an 8-hour corporate gala are not the same job. The best way to get an accurate number is to fill out our quote form. It takes about 2 minutes, and you'll hear back quickly.
How much does a photo booth rental cost in Las Vegas?
$399 is our standard price. This includes up to 3 hours of event time. Our most popular option is the DJ and photo booth bundle, which saves money compared to booking each service separately. Request a quote for your event, and we'll provide an accurate estimate.
Do you require a deposit to hold the date?
We require a retainer to secure your event date. The balance is due closer to your event date. Specific retainer amounts and payment timelines are outlined in your contract. We'll walk through all of it during your booking process so there are no surprises.
Do you offer packages that include both DJ and photo booth services?
Yes, and this is actually our most popular option for corporate clients, weddings, and larger private events. Bundling the DJ and photo booth into one package saves money compared to booking each separately and simplifies your vendor coordination. Ask about bundle pricing when you request a quote.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellation terms are laid out in your contract and vary depending on how far in advance the cancellation occurs. We take retainers to protect our availability, and cancellation terms reflect that. If your event details change rather than cancel outright, we're flexible and happy to work through adjustments wherever we can.
Do I need to sign a contract?
Yes. Every booking comes with a clear written contract that spells out exactly what is included, the event date and timeline, payment schedule, and policies. This protects you just as much as it protects us. You'll know exactly what you're getting before you sign anything.
Day-Of and Logistics
How early do you arrive to set up?
We arrive early enough that everything is fully set up, tested, and ready before your guests arrive. For most events, that means arriving 60 to 90 minutes before the scheduled start time. For larger setups with lighting rigs or multi-zone sound, we may arrive earlier. We'll coordinate the exact setup window with your venue.
Can you coordinate with our wedding planner or event coordinator?
Yes, and we encourage it. We'll share a timeline, go through the run-of-show together, and stay in communication throughout the planning process and on the day of the event. A DJ who doesn't coordinate with the rest of the vendor team creates gaps. We actively avoid that.
Do you have a dress code or attire standard for events?
We dress appropriately for every event. For corporate events, award galas, and formal receptions, we dress formally. For school dances and casual private events, we dress appropriately for that setting. If your event has a specific dress requirement, let us know and we'll match it.
Can we extend our event hours on the night of?
In many cases, yes. We never book events back-to-back, so there's typically flexibility to extend if your event is running long and you want to keep the night going. Overtime rates apply and are outlined in your contract. Just let us know as early in the evening as possible so we can confirm.
What do you need from the venue?
We need adequate power access, sufficient space for our setup, and advance confirmation of any load-in procedures or parking restrictions. Most professional Las Vegas venues have handled entertainment vendors before and have established protocols. We coordinate directly with venue staff before the event so nothing gets figured out at the last minute.
