Just wondering approximately what you ladies are spending on DJ. We did add a few extras like uplighting and plasma screens because I figured everyone does that these days and it is a nice touch, but it is sooo pricey . . . However, in my opinion, the DJ is the third most important part of your wedding day. (After us, and the food)

Check out FM Entertainment. I booked with them. They really helped me out. I was booked with another company that went out of business and took my $500.00 deposit and FM Entertainment has been amazing to work with and very accommodating. Their prices are amazing!
