Can I get some DJ recommendations.

Not into cheesy MC/Dancers etc.....I want something classy, but fun, but not to typical cheesy dances or stuff like that.

We're using In The Mood. They are in Smithtown. I've posted about them before, you can do a search.

Re: Can I get some DJ recommendations.

Thanks for the recommendations. What are the average pricing for the DJ's without all the extras - dancers, toy's lights, smoke all that?
I'm about to start my research and on DJ's so any tips would help.

Re: Can I get some DJ recommendations.

basic prices for 5 hours(dj and mc) are around $1300, some more some less....

high voltage sounds that jennbaby said is actually more affordable...$1050... or 4 hours for $900....

i still have to drag fh to check out dj's

Re: Can I get some DJ recommendations.

Okay cool, the prices sound reasonable. It's really amazing how much everything costs....It's so much legwork too, making appointments, I'm going to check out some of these entertainment showcases by a vendor - have you been to any?

Re: Can I get some DJ recommendations.

i hate the cheesey giveaways, dancers, all that. its great for some people, but not me. i actually got a band/dj combination. 4-star entertainment....
it is really neat!

Ours was about 1250ish for 4 hours. 1 DJ and 1 MC. They did my sis's wedding in June and it was great.

Re: Can I get some DJ recommendations.

I plan on contacting Stan Weist (vendor on here) - he's located around the block from me in Fort Salonga.

Re: Can I get some DJ recommendations.

Silly question, but what does one actually do to see DJ's? You can make an appointment to go see them I guess, but how do you actually see them at work? I live in Manhattan and it's not really convenient for me to get to Bridal showcases b/c they're usually on Tuesday eve or something. Do the DJ's have video tapes of themselves at work?

This is next up on my list of thigns to do, so I appreciate your help!

Music by Michael

You can make an appt and go see him and his equipment. You can also see him at showcases he puts on.

I LOVED his work ethic and his selection. Very down to earth.

He's a vendor here! and i recommend him.

Re: Can I get some DJ recommendations.

I too am probably going to go see Hi-Energy for my wedding, he did all of fiance's families weddings and he was great.

Re: Can I get some DJ recommendations.

This is the first thread I've seen for DJ's where I wasn't the only one using In the Mood. Makes me feel so much better even though they did a GREAT job at my sisters wedding.
