It's been done, but what are you paying for and getting with your DJ?

Just curious to see what prices are out there, as well as the packages other DJ's provide. I'm excited that I booked my DJ on Friday (another thing done within 2 weeks of engagement! lol ) but a friend is asking for prices and I don't know of any...can you help? Thanks. FM me if you don't want to post.

I am using FM Entertainment. For a little over 1100, I am getting the DJ, MC, for 5 hours (reception and CH) and upgraded lighting. I think we may end up adding the plasma tvs so we can display pictures of us, but thats an extra $500. Still a lot less than most other places though.

IS FM Entertaiment a reputable company? I've never heard of them before.

Yes they are. They are a vendor on here. Try doing a search for them. I was debating between FM and Unlimited Entertainment (our house dj) and i did a poll asking which everyone recommended. A large majority voted for FM.

We're using SoundCheck Entertainment (a Russo's house vendor) and we're getting a one man DJ for $800.00 (ceremony music and 4 hour reception - we don't need CH music because Russo's provides that).
