i had to upgrade due to the size of my wedding. with anything above 75 people, it's too much for 1 guy to coordinate with maitre d and do all the talking and all the dj-ing. talk it over with LI Sound, some guys are better at being 'one man shows' than others!
I am using After Hours and we are having both a DJ and MC. We just want one person to concentrate on music and the other to concentrate on the crowd. Have you tried looking at other DJs? I found LI Sound to be more expensive than other DJs.
I am using After Hours and have a one man DJ/MC with a wedding of 125-150 people and don't see it even remotely being a problem. I also do not want the DJ to do a lot of talking, so that might be why one person will work best for me.
I think with 85 people you should be more than fine with a one man show. You know your crowd best though! Do you think you need an MC to help get the party going? If not, I'd book one guy.
Go for it! I was at at my DH's work buddy's wedding a few years ago and it was LI Sound who were the DJ's and their second guy was amazing had us all up! Mixing it up with the crowd too!
