Need Opinions for this DJ price

Original post by MJDoc12

hi ladies
so my FH did a DJ appt. all by himself today and came back (he spent 2 hrs. there) and did an excellent job. asked just about all the q's i wanted, and was totally excited about the DJ. however, i am unsure about the price. it's a bit over what i wanted to spend, and wanted to get your opinions on the package price.

they specialize in latin/cultural music (which we totally need) as well as american, and might be considered a 'high-end' DJ. here's the package details:
-1 DJ
-1 MC
-Music for ceremony, CH, reception
(about 6 hours total + they arrive about 2 hrs. before ceremony to set up)
-Computerized Light Show for Grand Entrance and Dancing [basically lots of color lights and shows to coordinate with the music being played]

the price: $2375 (tax included)

how's this sound to you ladies?

I met with this DJ as well and think it is a fair price. Can you get cheaper?? Probably, but I think that then you will compromise professionalism and authentic latin music. The video they showed me made me want to dance right there in the sound room so I am sure that they will have your wedding going all night long! Music is definitely an area to spend a little more money on as I feel it makes the wedding. Good luck!



I agree......Music is tooo important in my opinion...

this is my package
soft music for coctail hour in seperate room
DJ
MC
they set up one hour before it starts
basic lights, laser lights, fog machine
100 give away part favors for $1750.00



that's a great price. i guess i should add--that while there are fantastic DJ's around here in LI, FH and i have had quite a difficult time finding DJs that specialize in latin music! we need someone who is gonna truly KNOW the genres of music we need! that's why i'm liking this DJ, as they know what we need, but hating the price!!



FM me, i have latin DJ's and my package was not even close to half of what you're paying

Maybe you could save a liittle money by cutting out the CH music? I think I remember where you are getting married and I think they will play a cd or use their house system for the CH. This probably won't save you much but every little bit counts.

I personally think it is a great price. We are paying a tiny bit less for no lights, but are getting a photo montage.

I am paying 2000 for the same stuff minus the light stuff.

See if you can negotiate, or wait and book them later when they still have the date open, may reduce the price.

Good luck.

Re: Need Opinions for this DJ price

just wanted to thank all you ladies for your opinions!! i'm sending FH on like 2-3 more appointments just to make sure--but if we can't find anyone we love as much as them--we're gonna go for it!

FH and i figure--we only will get married once! (lol--hopefully!)
