I would like to provide some insight on hiring a DJ for your wedding reception. I have found two items I feel may be helpful.
According to the American Disc-Jockey Association...The best price is not always the best deal, especially if you are planning a wedding. As a matter of fact, surveys conclude that nearly 100% of brides would have spent more money on their entertainment and made it their #1 priority in hindsight.
A full-service, full-time disc jockey company will normally invest 12 to 30 hours to your special event but it may appear that you are only paying for "4 hours". Consultations, music purchasing & editing, preparation, set-up and tear-down, education and other business related endeavors add up to the overall success of your special occasion.
This is something worth watching this link takes you to a page and about halfway down is a video. Would you like this at your wedding reception? https://www.adja.org/general/ipodwedding.asp
The link provided at the end may assist in finding out what you should be expecting to pay for a disc jockey in your area. Note that Disc Jockey rates vary based on talent, experience, emcee ability, service, coordination, equipment needed, music knowledge, and personality. http://www.costofwedding.com/
I will continue to provide further information to help in making a smart decision when it comes available.
