Dear Bride &
Groom, What “value” does our professional disc jockey & entertainment
service provide to your wedding or special event?
Have you ever attended a
great party? What was it that made it better than other events? The food?
The photographer? The flowers? No, it was the entertainment, Yet a survey conducted by MODERN BRIDE MAGAZINE reported that only 4 to 6 percent of a couples wedding budget is allocated for the most important element, the
entertainment.
Statistics show that
Mobile DJs carry 75 to 80% of the responsibilities at the
average wedding reception. Many couples attribute 80 to 90% of
the success of their reception to their DJ. Yet only 5% (or
less) of the total budget is spent on entertainment in many
cases.
On the other hand,
most couples spare no expense on the food, making it the
largest expense in the budget. Studies show that many will
spend more on a vegetable platter than they are willing to
spend on a professional mobile DJ. Ironically, most of the
vegetable platter gets thrown out.
No price (high,
low or average) is a good price if you don't get the
quality entertainment and service you need. With this in
mind, think about what percent of your event's budget should
be devoted to hiring professional entertainment that will
guarantee the success of your event.
As you look at
different entertainment companies, compare them on the basis
of the service they offer you. Prepare a list of questions to
ask EVERY company and record their answers. Use the answers to
rule out the companies you don't want to work with, and rank
the remaining companies based on their answers. Call
references from the remaining companies.
Remember, it costs a
lot of money to form and run a quality professional DJ
service. Money must be spent on professional Development (our
staff attends mandatory training seminars annually), building and maintaining a
diverse music library (so requests from you and your guests
can be honored), purchasing and maintaining quality
professional equipment (that looks and sounds good and
works reliably at every event), insurance, advertising,
accounting, etc. The time the DJ service spends working with
you to plan and customize your event Before and During your
event also costs money. On average, 4-6 hours prep time goes
into an event before we actually arrive to set-up. This includes
researching song titles and
locating specific music requests, and finally gathering all
pertinent wedding info you filled out on our easy to use
online planner, assembling all this information
into a useable format.. All of our package prices cover
normal setup and breakdown time (which does NOT count
towards the entertainment hours). Our DJ packages start
at 4 hours to cover these additional costs. We can be
contracted to do shorter events, but we will still charge for
a minimum of 4 hours
Our prices cover more
than just playing music. In our continuous effort to save
our clients both time and money, all of our entertainment packages
include a timesaving in-depth online planner to use at your
leisure while in the comfort of your home or office. Clients
have found that with all the details covered in our extensive
online planner, consultations are rarely necessary in
their busy schedules. However personal consultations are
available at additional cost. There may be other additional charges
for special circumstances--see special features below.
We are a professional
entertainment service with years of experience creating fun
parties. Our prices reflect this. If you carefully evaluate us
you will find that we offer reliability, experience,
pleasing
and cooperative personalities, enthusiasm, professional
equipment, an extensive music collection, and a level of
personal service that makes our prices an excellent value.
