DJ Pricing

You're planning to spend a lot on your cake, dress, venue, invitations all to look great. Don't skimp when it comes to the entertainment. The DJ will is one of THE most important elements of your big day.

According to Modern Bride Magazine, only 5% of your overall budget will be spent on entertainment, yet over twice as many guests will remember the performance of your DJ or entertainer, over any other aspect of your reception.

The cost of entertainment at your reception is only a small portion of your overall budget. If you're spending thousands on an once-in-a-lifetime dream event, does it really make sense to save a few dollars by hiring second-rate entertainment?

Price can sometimes be what many couples are initially focused upon when they contact me, but really couples should be looking at style and what value a DJ brings to the wedding. Not all DJs are the same. The main consideration must be priority, you need to ask yourself how important is the entertainment and how much of your budget you shall allocate to this area.

The last thing you want are surprises, just by opening the Yellow Pages you can find many part time DJ’s and entertainers with sound systems and music, but lack the credibility of a full time pro with the years of wedding experience necessary to take charge and run a flawless evenings entertainment, specifically tailored to your special day.

Beware...don't allow a wannabe DJ or a friend of the family (no matter how sincere his heartfelt intentions) to jeopardize something so special. In the worst cases this has even led to real family tensions long after the wedding day! You’d be surprised how many enquiries I get where the bride & groom thought a friend of a friend would be the DJ only to discover at the 11th hour that they’ve been let down.
