Our Bread and Butter
Weddings our the events we specialize in and we’d like to thing that means we’re better at DJ’ing weddings than anything else…and anyone else. It takes years of experience to effectively coordinate a wedding reception to assure your big day is everything it can be. A good DJ can make or break your guest’s experience.
Processes
You have a million other things to plan, coordinate, schedule and yes even stress about. We’ve made booking your DJ as easy as we possibly could. Below is an overview of the process you’ll experience with us from the time you book to the time we show up.
Quote & Book
Using our online instant quote generator you can pick your package and options and know exactly what you’ll be paying, instantly. Once you book online you simply print the custom contract generated, sign, and return to us with the stated deposit. Once we receive the contract and deposit your date is guaranteed.
Plan & Request
We’ll then set you up with a login to our online planning system where you’ll need to complete a planning and event time line forms. You can save your forms and come back any time to update. There is also an area to request songs before the reception including a do not play list. If you really want to get your guest involved you can send a link to them and they can even request their own music.
Review & Party
About two weeks prior to the wedding I like to review the planning and event time line forms to make sure we’re both on the same page and their are not final questions. Often this is a great time to clarify and special things going on throughout the night. Then it’s party time!
Statistics
We can say all we want to convince you how important a DJ is to your wedding day but nothing will say it better than these statistics. Don’t let the facts stress you out though, a good DJ will create a good time without stealing the show. Statistics published in St. Louis Bride & Groom Magazine in 2003. Sources include: Simmons, 2001; USA Today 2002; National Bridal Service, 2001; The Knot, 2002; Bridal Magazine, 2001.

A full-service disc jockey company will normally invest 12 to 30 hours to your special event but it may appear that you are only paying for “4 hours”. Consultations, music purchasing & editing, preparation, set-up and tear-down, education and other business related endeavors add up to the overall success of your special occasion.
Rates for the DJ industry vary greatly, ranging from $350.00 to over $5,000.00 with an average of $1,200.00 for a 4 hour booking . The best price is not always the best deal, especially if you are planning a wedding. As a matter of fact, surveys conclude that nearly 100% of brides would have spent more money on their entertainment and made it their #1 priority in hindsight.

Music
We are 100% mp3 DJ’s meaning playing the music has become easier so we can spend more time picking the perfect songs and assisting in coordination. We have a music guarantee so as long as you request the song prior to your wedding we’ll have it to play. In our client login area you can request music and also tell us which songs you don’t want played. Check our our music page for some of the most popular request and song suggestions for the first dance and cake cutting.
