Re: How much.....

All in all we'll likely be spending a little over $3k for the dj & lighting. We got the one we really wanted and the package we wanted, so that's what really mattered to us.

Re: How much.....

between $3000-$4000

- DJ (4 hrs)
- MC (4 hrs)
- Steel Drummer for CH (1 hr)
- Uplighting for the whole room (I want to say it was somewhere around 24 lights but I could be wrong)
- Upgraded to their all white system
- 2 towers

I feel like I'm missing something (probably something else having to do with lighting) but that's the gist of it.

Re: How much.....

Well I'm in the minority but we got just a basic package, no lighting or giveaways or anything. Just a DJ and MC and it was $1400.

ETA they are doing ceremony, CH and reception as of now, so that includes all of that time.

Re: How much.....

Now I'm getting worried! I didn't realize that DJ's were so costly. Eek! We were thinking about $500. Looks like I need to update my budgetting sheet :)

Re: How much.....

Yikes....$600.

Since mine is during the day, we have no lights and I hate giveaways. We are just doing a simple one man show (MC and DJ) for the reception since we are getting married in the church.

CH is outside, and the speakers go out there, so we are just doing the DJ the whole time. I've been to too many weddings with steel drums, bla bla. The only think I would have done was a string quartet for CH, but that was way over budget and I wanted my dress
