Where does the money go? -
The average Wedding Budget only allows for 2% of the total money for the DJ.
| -
Who does all the work? -
A Professional DJ will be at the Reception longer and have more responsibilities than any of your other vendors. He is the person with the microphone and in control.
| -
The cost of a Professional DJ is a real bargain compared the the price of a Vegetable Tray or Cake Cutting.
| -
Most couples pay $25/hr/guest for the Reception. Every time a guest leaves your Reception, you lose money that's been paid for the full amount of time job.
|
| - Some couples will pay more for a Vegetable Tray or Cake Cutting than they pay for their DJ and then wonder why many guests did not stay for a large part of the Reception. Your guests may not remember the food, the flowers, the wine and many will never see the pictures. But they will remember the good (or bad) time they had. The Disc Jockey is the person who can make or break the Reception. Take as much time and effort to select your DJ as you did in selecting your Wedding Dress. The DJ will have only one chance to do the show right. There is no second opportunity to do it over again. A true professional may actually SAVE YOU MONEY over the long run.
