HOW DO WE DJ?
The songs in these videos are purposefully shortened for demonstration purposes. We want to give you an idea of HOW we mix. We will totally play any songs/genres that you are really into (we aren't just going to play club music). We are open-format DJs.
We aren't fade-in, fade-out DJs!
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
- Modern, non-intrusive setup (that you can dress up if you want to!)
- Up to 6 hours of performance time (typically a ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception)
- No charge for setup and teardown time
- Your DJ is your MC (Master of Ceremonies/Personality on the Mic)
- Gear: Small ceremony setup with wireless mics (so everyone can hear you!), cocktail speaker, and reception speakers with wireless mics (for toasts) for up to 200 guests at one venue
- One hour of travel from our home base of Columbia, MD
- Online planning to plug in your music and event details
- Unlimited meetings with your DJ!
- We're insured! (let us know if your venue needs a COI)
SOME WEDDING STATISTICS
When asked, 81% of guests say the thing they remember most about a wedding is the entertainment.
During planning, clients say their highest priority is their wedding attire, followed by the reception site and caterer - reception entertainment was among the least of their priorities!
Within one week after their reception, 78% of clients say they would have made the entertainment their highest priority!
65% of all couples that chose a band to entertain at their wedding reception, said, if they had it to do over again, they would have chosen a DJ!
Almost 100% say they would have spent MORE of their budget on the entertainment.
HOW DO WE PLAN?
WHAT ABOUT THE FLIPSIDE?
We wish we had a dollar for every time a guest came up to us at a wedding to say, "I wish I would have known about you when I had my wedding... our DJ was underwhelming..."
We get it.
There aren't many times when you have the opportunity to hire a DJ in life, and most people just don’t have any idea what's involved or more importantly, what’s at stake.
If you're considering a DJ solely on price, perhaps what your fiancée paid for their college party DJ, or your co-worker or best friend paid a friend of a friend, then you're taking a gamble on one of the most impactful things at your party. If the flowers are beautiful and the food is incredible at your wedding but the DJ is less than stellar, or worse yet, terrible, what do you think your guests will remember?
The average price for a wedding DJ in the MD/DC/PA/VA area is $1600 (calculated from local companies in the area ranging from $850 to $5000). The more experienced, professional, and reliable DJs are usually priced above that average rate because they typically provide an above-average experience. By definition, a DJ who charges less than the "average" rate is, by default, below average.
Given the impact the DJ has on your event, do you want someone who is below-average on your wedding team? Why would you risk diminishing all the other details you worked and paid for to save a couple of hundred dollars on your DJ? If you are hiring on price alone, we’re probably not the right fit for you. We’ll wish you luck (and hope you won’t need it) and admire your strong tolerance to risk on your wedding day.
CHECK OUT THIS PODCAST WE WERE ON!
We are an investment; one of the few things that your guests will remember and be aware of is how well the music is managed and performed. Demand for our DJs limits them to 40-50 weddings each year.
Our rates start at $2000 and range up to $4500.
The average DJ cost nationally for 4 hours is $1000, according to WeddingWire, with the average in the DC/Baltimore region being $1600. We aren't your average DJ and we'd love to show you the difference!
A Professional Wedding Entertainment company will normally invest 20 to 30 hours to your special event but it may appear that you are only paying for "4 hours".
"The best price is not always the best deal, especially when planning an event."
DECIDING ON A FLOOR PLAN?
THIS WORKS!
It allows all the guests to gather together in the center. With the DJ on the dance floor, they can really connect with the energy of the crowd.
ARGGH!
The DJ would have to blast the sound through all of the tables, resulting in a hollow sound on the dance floor. Plus, the DJ can't connect to the vibe on the floor!
NEED RECOMMENDATIONS?
We are more than happy to refer you to wonderful vendors that we work with! Let us know what you need and we'll send you in the right direction :)
We can't wait to rock your event!
