Lost Groom (DJ Help)

Hello Everyone

I'm a groom on a mission. I really want to help my fiance with the wedding planning, I know she's taking on a lot and I want to ease some of the burden.

I must admit, I can research any gadget but I'm kind of clueless when it comes to this wedding stuff. I'm looking to research some DJs but I have no clue where to start. We've booked the Westbury Manor and I'm trying to find DJs in the area with a good reputation.

Can anyone please help me get started on this mission.

Thank you to anyone who has replied so far, but I forgot to mention that we're also looking for a DJ that is bilingual, but all suggestions are still welcome, just in case we can't find a billingual DJ.

Thanks all,
NYGroom

I booked with FM entertainment. They are a vendor on here. They have showcases where you can see exactly how they will be the day of the wedding. I booked them on the spot!

Love Vinny!

But I have heard great things about Elegancia Entertainment (bilingual).

Elegancia is definitely bilingual and they make it a point of telling you they speak proper english and spanish (not a bad ghetto mix of the two, LOL). I really liked their presentation...I highly recommend going to see them! I think their packages start at around $850 and go up depending on what additional things you want.

Top Hat Entertainment - so nice and professional. Not cheesy at all.

Re: Lost Groom (DJ Help)

HI, we are also at the Westbury Manor and we needed a bilingual dj. we booked Bravo Sound International. we saw them at both the WM and the Fox Hollow showcase, and I was immediately impressed with them. music is very important to us, and they can play it all without skipping a beat.

their basic package with MC is not too bad, but I think they are worth it. Raul (my fav Maitre D' at the WM) said they were really good, and I trust his judgement. definitely check them out.

and KUDOS to you! my groom is helping me out a ton too. it really means A LOT!
