Update: May 20, 2011 First, Let me say, my heart goes out to the bridegroom in the following story. I post this story as a forewarning to others.
Today at 2:00 pm, I received a call from a frantic bridegroom looking for a wedding DJ for his wedding reception today at 5:30 pm. He stated that the DJ he hired had just called and said he couldn’t make the wedding as his equipment was not working!?!?!? I asked how much did he pay the DJ and was there a contract. The DJ was hired for $200.00 and no contract!!
All the best,
Daniel Seny
This is not my service this is an example of what low quality DJ's do. Would you want this at your event?
The lack of preparation, horrible microphone etiquette, this is just painful to watch.

Wedding Reception Music on a Budget- Money Saving Entertainment Tips
May 03, 2011
So you’re on a limited budget. You think you can’t afford live musicians for your wedding ceremony? But you would like to have some fabulous sounding special music, a great PA system and a state-of-the-art wireless microphone so that every word of your wedding vows can be clearly heard, yet you don’t want to break the bank? Fortunately you do have some options for wedding ceremony music and there are a couple of steps you can take to reduce costs while still creating a special and unique atmosphere for your wedding ceremony. Here are a couple of tips that can help improve your Big Day and save you some money.
Find Your Own DJ/MC Wedding Reception Entertainment Event Coordinator
While it may offer you peace of mind to book your DJ/MC entertainer through an entertainment agency, you will almost always pay less if you remove the middle man and book your DJ directly. When booking your own DJ/MC, research is critical. While some sites are great resources to find and compare wedding DJ/MC entertainment, be aware that many websites like All Time Favorites Event Planning.com, Gigmasters.com, Wedj.com, Eventective.com and 800dj.com charge or take a cut from the DJ/MC and this may increase your total cost. While the price a client pays for their wedding reception vendors is often directly proportional to the quality of service they receive (which is also directly proportional to the success of their event) paying more for your DJ/MC, than you would otherwise have to, is never a good investment or a sound entertainment choice.
Add the Cocktail Hour
This tip may seem counter intuitive, but you can often get more value for your money (and a discounted rate) if you have your DJ/MC entertainment company provide a PA system, wireless mics and music for your wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Great sounding wedding ceremony music adds that special something to make your Special Day more memorable. By applying these two tips you may be surprised how affordable hiring a wedding reception DJ/MC for your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception can be!

What is a (DJ) Disc Jockey? - Disc Jockeys (DJs) defined:
American Heritage - Answers.com | Disc Jockey
According to some recent social bookmarking wedding website polls, many wedding reception vendors, including Disc Jockeys, quickly assume that during tough economic times that a Disc Jockey or DJ's prices are the only factor brides take into consideration when planning their wedding reception. While pricing is important, there are several other pertinent factors that need to be considered. Brides value experiences that are expressions or extensions of their personality. They also value shared experiences with family and friends. Finally, they place a high value on experiences that transform them. One of the best ways to determine these factors is to ask a bride questions about what she personally envisions for her dream wedding. It is only through this type of analysis, dialogue and dedication to personalized service that a wedding disc jockey vendor can make the special and unique details of a bride’s vision for her dream wedding come to life.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it comes to hiring the "right" high quality, reliable, reputable, dependable and FUN Wedding disc jockey for your dream wedding or other special event, there are some crucial things you need to take into consideration.
Horizon Entertainment DJ realizes that above all else, a wedding DJ can make or break your wedding reception in a heartbeat. Hire the wrong wedding DJ and your party could flop! Hire the "right" high quality DJ and your guests will be telling you how great the night was every time you run into them for years to come.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, the wedding DJ company you hire should be fun to talk to, put you at ease, make you feel comfortable and make you"feel like your special" right out of the gate! You want to feel as though you are bringing someone in who cares not only about your image of the perfect wedding, but understands how to incorporate your guests into the activities of the evening, to the level you desire.
(Note the following testimonial)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not every bride or groom wants a wedding Disc Jockey that is obnoxious and puts on a show all night, dresses in costumes, plays games and talks about everything under the sun to try and keep your guests attention. Some couples actually like to be made the stars of the evening themselves (NOT the DJ) and hope their wedding is a more laid back, cocktail style function that allows people to dance or mingle at their own speed.
Others may want more interaction and look for an interactive DJ whoworks hard to get everyone involved and out on the dance floor. A wedding DJ who will start the party if it takes a few songs to get your guests into the swing of things, who can get your guests to participate in special events such as line dances, as well as other interactive activities and more.
