TLS ANSWERS YOUR Q's
YES. All of our weddings and events are completely customizable based on the theme's and tastes of the Bride & Groom or organizers of the event. We will send you a digital planning form which will help in the planning process of music selection.
We also accept specific songs requests as well as DO NOT play lists.
Absolutely. Some DJ’s will not take requests during live events, but we are more than happy to do so. TLS believe's in extreme customer service and it is our goal to make you and your guests happy.
Duh! There is a difference between the sound equipment you use at home and equipment that is used during a live event. Professional equipment is made to be durable and is generally much more expensive than home stereo equipment. TLS Entertainment uses top-of-the-line speakers amongst other pieces of equipment.
We have been in business since 2014 and have experience in weddings, proms, school dances, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Cruise ships, anniversary parties, block parties, and corporate events around the state of Florida and DMV Region (Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia).
Yes - TLS is Insured. You should always use a DJ that goes through the trouble of being insured for peace of mind. Plus, some venues require that your entertainment have liability insurance.
We always dress based upon the customers wants and needs. It could be a suit, tuxedo, or casual clothes. You're the boss!
We definitely carry backup computers and speakers. Even though we have professional equipment, it can still fail. This is your event so rest assured we will do all we can to make sure equipment failure doesn’t ruin your party.
Our main location is in Sarasota, FL and will travel throughout the state of Florida. We have also expanded to the DMV Area (Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia). All of our packages are customizable and all-inclusive.

Unfortunately it is bad etiquette to allow potential clients to come to a private party and view how we work. However, often times our team of DJs will be at local bars/clubs and we encourage our clients to follow our social media pages to stay up-to-date to see where our team will be next!
Uplighting sets the mood by washing your venue in your colors—it’s elegant, customizable, and perfect for any vibe. Premier Lighting takes it to the next level, adding dynamic effects, energy, and a show-stopping glow that turns your celebration into a full-on party. Think of it as the difference between beautiful ambiance and unforgettable wow factor!
We typically require 2 1/2 hours of setup time prior to the official start time. However, internally, we always plan to be set up and ready to go 30 minutes prior to the start of the event.
Yep! A wireless, handheld mic is standard for all of our packages.
Included in our overall price of wedding receptions is planning and coordinating. It takes coordination between the wedding party, wedding planner, DJ, and caterer to provide a quality reception. We will sit down with you at a future consultation and help you plan out your reception. From wedding party names, to Father/Daughter dance, it is all very important to us that you completely trust TLS to take care of every detail of your reception so you can enjoy the time with your new spouse and your valued guests.
Oh yeah! You should not do business with an entertainment company or anyone else, for that matter, that does not agree to give you a written contract with event info and final price on it. This protects both parties involved.
Your DJ will be a seasoned TLS pro who knows how to read the crowd, drop the perfect tracks, and keep the dance floor packed all night. We match you with the DJ that fits your vibe—and your party is guaranteed to be unforgettable!
