Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Do You Charge? We have a wide range of
prices, and each price is specific to the type of entertainment
package we will create for you. It is best to meet with us to
determine what package would be best for you, and we can give you an
exact quote.
How Much Should I Budget For My DJ? You will hear from many
vendors that you shouldn’t skimp on their services, but it couldn’t
be truer in the case of DJ Entertainment. Considering that your DJ
Entertainment will bear the responsibility of over 80% of the
success of your celebration, you can see why choosing a PROFESSIONAL
DJ is the wisest choice. Your wedding already looks like a million
bucks, so don’t cut corners on the most important element that will
make your reception an unforgettable and fun experience.
Professional rates for DJ Entertainment range from around
$750-$1,150, with the average professional rate being around $950.
There are less experienced DJs that may charge less, but when you
have an once-in-a-lifetime celebration, why take chances?
Will You Hold My Date? In the DJ industry, our dates are our
“inventory” and therefore cannot be held without a contract and
retainer. Even if you need time to decide which package suits you,
simply call to request a retainer contract. A small retainer of as
low as $100 will hold your date. The most important detail is that
you secure your date with us. Then, we can help you design a package
right for you. We accept cash or check for retainer payment.
Do You Use Contracts And Are You Insured? For peace of mind,
of course we use written contracts and conduct our business
professionally; however we never let the rules get in the way of
good business. We are fully insured and members of the Better
Business Bureau, and Chamber of Commerce. We are very easy to work
with, and our focus is on celebration and family.
Will You Be On Time For My Reception? Yes. In fact, we will
be early. We make all the arrangements for our arrival with your
reception hall, and we arrive approximately two hours early to set
up. Our equipment and microphones are then tested, tuned, and fully
equalized to the room so your first guest hears perfection.
What Kind Of Equipment Do You Use? As a Professional DJ
Company, we only use the most reliable, professional and
