Why are you guys so affordable?

We put affordable right in our slogan this year, why because we are. While most DJ Companies are trying to charge between $1200-$2000 per wedding in the economy we have now, we typically charge much less, why? Because we know most everyone has felt a pinch this year.

How? well we are a multi-operator, we are not a booking agency, we are not a referral service and we do not use sub-contractors. Having said that we have a staff of about 20 that have performed at over 100 weddings each. With a larger staff we can do more events and can charge less.

Also at this time in our economy in the United States we do make sure we make a small profit but making some money is better than making no money.

Finally, music and entertainment is the best way to relieve the stress. Often times stressed out people will go to the club, bar or restaurant, we also want to make sure that DJ services are available for their events.

Although with the technology and software out there today and of course the ipod a lot of people think they can dj and sure they can but when most of our clients who thought they would self dj, started taking on the task they realized a few things:

They don't want to be responsible for playing songs that all their friends like
Being the go-to guy with the suped up stereo was cool in high school
They don't want their home stereo gear to get messed up

and finally

Being stuck playing dj all night means you can't have as much fun with your friends.

(For weddings theres a million reasons not to use an ipod for your wedding we'll post that later)


Well there you have it, that's why we are so affordable.
