How Much Do You Charge?

Different events have different variables and needs.  The amount of hours of the event, the event may also require an additional ceremony system or custom lighting.  For instance, a wedding at the Love Estate on a Saturday in July with 450 guests, custom lighting, ceremony design & sound reinforcement and is 8 hours long is  much different then a birthday party at the VFW hall  for 30 guests on a Wednesday afternoon.  Contact us by phone or schedule an appointment and we can show you a number of packages and you can find the one that best fits you.

Why is pricing so important?

    In post-event surveys, clients stated that the contribution Disc Jockey services made towards the overall success of their special event was 85%! Whether it's a Wedding Reception, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Corporate Event, or a Private Party, its success or failure depends upon the quality of services you receive from your Disc Jockey. These are entertainment driven events. Even though food, photos, and decor are important… It is not the food… It is not the photos… nor is it the decor… that determines the overall success of your event! The DJ entertainer is the difference between, "its just another social gathering I'm obligated to go to" OR, you and your guests taking away magical memories of your celebration that will be etched in your minds for a lifetime.

Why are other DJs Cheaper?

1. They don't offer all of the services a true professional disc jockey should. This means, home stereo equipment, a limited music library, no back-up equipment, little or no advance planning and little or no coordination, which can lead to major problems for a Wedding Reception, Corporate Event, Private Party, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, or for that matter, any special event.

2. Most "DJ's" have absolutely no training. They figure if they can play a CD, and they can ruin what is probably one of the biggest parties/special event you have ever given, or one of the most important days of your life, YOUR WEDDING . Few DJ's realize that the success or failure of your event lies in their hands. Mostly they think it's about the music or how big their speakers are. Even though that's important, that is only the beginning.

3. The DJ industry is full of people who DJ part time for extra money. They focus on their real job during the week and think all they have to do is show up and play some music and they've done their job. Their focus is not on you or your special event, and if they mess up, or at best, give their typical "average DJ" performance, what do they have to lose?

4. Many charge low rates in order to get every job that comes their way, then they may even sub-contract out your event to part timers whose experience and quality may be even worse. There is no consistency of quality you can depend on.

5. The current national average spent on a wedding with a reception for more than 50 guests is $40,000; for the Sacramento Wedding area, the average is about $12,000. With the Disc Jockey being responsible for 85% of the success of your reception, doesn't it make sense to take good care in finding truly professional Disc Jockey.

6.  The bottom line is this…If you are paying less than average for your Disc Jockey you are taking a mighty big chance that you will get a DJ who is not a true professional, and/or the possibility that your special event will be contracted out to someone who's even less qualified than the person you hired.

7.  If your special event is a Wedding Reception, Corporate Event, Private Party, or Bar/Bat Mitzvah your concerns and questions about the DJ you hire, should go far above just the music. It takes ongoing training, experience, and expertise, to coordinate & sequence the special events, program & mix the music, and .... entertain your guests. It takes personality and xperience to lead your event with just the right style. Your investment in entertainment and coordination is the most crucial one in regard to the success of your event. If magical memories are what you are looking for …. hire the best DJ entertainer you can afford.
