Frequently Asked Questions

What makes “MANCINI” Emcee and Sound Production, so much better than all the competition?

Thousands of satisfied clients acknowledge. We call it the “MANCINI” Difference: The Best DJ’s. Best Customer Service. The Best Approach to Entertainment.

Why is “MANCINI” Emcee and Sound Production, Inc. so much better than other DJs companies?

Founder Greg Mancini has been in the entertainment field for years. From playing live music on concert tours to professionally emceeing events. The last 20 years has been focused as professional masters of ceremonies. Greg and Debbie are highly trained and experienced both in music selection and public speaking. More importantly, they understand the psychology of the DJ trade — the subtle ability to read an audience in order to keep them excited and involved from beginning to end.

Why do you recommend two persons at my event -Sound Engineer and Emcee?

“MANCINI” prefers to send out a “DJ Team” – an Emcee and a Sound Engineer. You’ll be amazed how smoothly the evening flows as your Emcee presents on his wireless microphone from the center of the dance floor while the sound engineer (DJ) makes sure the music never misses a beat. We’ve perfected the interaction between Emcee and DJ to ensure a seamless presentation.

Who will be our DJ?

Both Greg and Debbie Mancini are extremely talented, their personality and style differences make each unique, and makes the perfect team for your event.

What kind of equipment do you use?

 “MANCINI” Emcee and Sound Production, uses only top-of-the-line professional equipment. Every set-up has been standardized to provide the highest level of quality for your event.

How long has “MANCINI” Emcee and Sound Production, Inc. been in business?

Greg Mancini founded the company in 1989. “MANCINI” Emcee and Sound Production, has grown in recognition in prestige every year since then. Today we are considered the best full-service DJ company in the Visalia and the Central CA area.

What’s the difference between a Sound Engineer (DJ) and a Master of Ceremonies (Emcee)?

A sound engineer plays your music. A great DJ has an encyclopedic knowledge of music selections and can pick the right song for the right moment to ensure that your dance floor stays full and every guest gets involved in the fun.

Emcee does much more than simply play music. He is also the presentational leader of your event. From making the grand introductions that start the event, to leading you and your guests from one stage of the evening to the next, to interacting with guests on the dance floor (as much or as little as you desire), your Emcee will single-handedly make sure that your event flows smoothly and everyone has a wonderful time.

Does “MANCINI” Emcee and Sound Production, Inc. emcee’s get really interactive with the crowd?

This is entirely up to you. We are fully capable of infusing your event with energy and enthusiasm, whether or not we get “hands on” with your guests. You decide how much or how little you would like your emcee to interact.

Do you provide backup equipment? What about backup DJs?

Yes, and yes! We carry backup music and equipment with us at all times. In addition, we always have one or two DJs “on-call.” In the rare case of an emergency, a professional DJ with a full sound system and a complete music library is only a phone call away. And you never need to worry about ending up with a generic presentation. We keep your personal music choices and reception details digitally stored so that they can instantly be sent to the on-call DJ. Bottom line: we make sure your show will always go on, no matter what.
