ok got the venue..interviewing a florist and a photographer over the next 2 weeks..both have excellent reviews..
DJ..talked to one guy.. kevin something (sorry i forget this particular moment) british accent, seemed nice..kind of a "smooth talker" ..he didn'rt give me a quote or anything..wants me to meet him at the venue to talk shop.. (45 min drive) and the ball park he said was between 800-2000 but he then said i should biudget 1500-2000 dollars.
that's like $100.00 an hour! apparently he has an assistant and i am sure there is some overhead.. but even still this seems a bit pricey to me.
Anyone have a good experience with a DJ for under a grand (say $500-800).
Uplighting is a plus but not necessary. Good MC and WIDE selection of music a must (NO group dances of any kind-skip the chicken dance and Macarana-thanx)
i would LOVE a photobooth but unless i win the lottery sometime, that is out too.
Really I just want fun ways to make this day memorable for my guests.. i was thinking of doing my own photobooth of some kind.. maybe with a polaroid (if i can find someone with one) ..i am a litle weary of using my digital camera..i wouldn't want it to get lost in the mix. Props are not a problem..i can just raid our halloween box.
