Help with DJ Companies

This seems to be so hard!!! I met with 4 DJ's this week- Tommy Tunes, NY Ultimate Entertainment, Long Island Sounds, and Starlight Express.

I also saw Tommy Tunes at a showcase- I felt they were a little to involved and hiper for me, but that may have just been cause it was a showcase- the person I thought would be best for me from that company was Dan as an MC. I met with Frank in the office and I did not like his style although he is a real nice guy.

Long Island Sounds had an impressive studio, but I only saw one MC demo and he was a little to 'Tony Soprano' for me.

Starlight has very impressive equipment- my only concern is that they pride themselves on being involved in the club scene and I am not very 'clubby'- I am not sure if my wedding would be to clubby.

NY Ultimate Entertainment seemed to be very what you see is what you get- they seemed okay.

This is the hardest decision. Has anyone felt the same as me and if so who did you go with? I want an MC who is going to be involved if necessary, but step back if not needed. I like bar music, oldiies, and fun songs that everyone knows- definitely do not want club type music. ANy help would be greatly appreciated!


Also, I booked with DUET today- one thing done! Has anyone used them for video? I loved the pics but have heard mixed things about the video- I had a friend who had a bad experience, but they did compensate her. Those of you who have had Alberto- did you have to pay more for him? My quote incresed by $300 to have Alberto? Thanks!!!

i booked starlight. You pick the playlist so you can make sure its not too clubby and let them know this too so this way they wont make your wedding a club atmosphere

Steven Charles is great. He sat with me for a long time, showed me a DVD of a wedding they did, and his song collection which is HUGE and has all the new stuff.

FH and I are NOT into the club scene and we went with Starlight Express. You want your guests to dance and they are great!

Check out feel the Vibe. But ultimately you need to feel comfortable and happy with your dj

I met with Steve and Mike who he usually works with did an MC demo for me. Are you using them? Who did you meet with? I heard Kevin may be good for what I am looking for but I have not had a chance to meet him yet.
