I booked my DJ - In the Mix last Monday. However, I feel as if we are spending way too much money for the service. The total came to 2148 and that did not include the coctail or cermony. Just the reception. The only add ons we added were the father/daughter montage and the fog and light effects when the BP enters the reception.
Am I overreacting or do you agree that this is too much money?
Anyone have any suggestions of recommendations for me.
I had a funny feeling that I would want to cancel, so when we signed the contract I had the manager insert that we had 10 days to cancel and get our deposit back..
UPDATE
Ok, so FH made a few calls today to FM entertainment and High Voltage. I have heard rave reviews about Vinny from High Voltage. But has anyone heard any reviews from FM Entertainment. They are also a vendor on this site. Their prices are reasonable and the manager seems very nice. Anyone heard of them?

I think that is way too much.. we met with them and they quoted us about 1600 for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception!

I can't remember off the top of my head, but I think we are paying around that. However, that is includes 5 hours, lighting and props.

That is way too much. You kind just as good if not better DJ for at least $600 less.
I would suggest Elegancia Entertainment.

Sounds high to me for no ceremony or CH music! You were smart to add the cancellation clause in

Go with your gut..I agree that is a bit overpriced, considering FH and I are paying $3500 for 5-piece live band...
Smart thinking about the 10-day clause!

I am using them as well-I'd check them out-I think you'll do better on the prices and the service is excellent!!
ETA: That was a great idea about the 10 day clause!!!
