FAQ
Tampa Bay is home base, but DJ Franco regularly plays St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Sarasota, Orlando, South Florida, and destination events worldwide. Travel beyond Tampa Bay is quoted separately based on distance and overnight requirements.

Standard arrival is two hours before guests for setup and sound check. For venues with early access windows (Oxford Exchange, JW Marriott Water Street, etc.) arrival is coordinated with your coordinator so the room is ready before cocktail hour.
Yes — and no. During planning you provide a must-play list, a do-not-play list, and preferred genres. Live requests from the floor are honored when they match the energy and don't clear it. The booth never becomes a jukebox.

Franco doesn’t play a wedding — he conducts it. Ceremony, cocktail, reception; every generation on the floor, every moment on cue.

Three seasons with Franco in the arena — he set the tone from tip-off to final buzzer. Technical, unpretentious, and totally locked in.
