Affordable CT DJs

We are getting married at The Barns At Wesleyan Hills.  Any DJ suggestions that are fairly affordable and entertaining?!

    LOVED our DJ- Peter Devine from After Hours DJ in Enfield.  They'll also meet you at a more convenient location if Enfield is too far.

    Loved our DJ.. Tom Salatto from Starry Nite Entertainment. He was half the price of the other dj's we looked into since he owns the business and he kept the dance floor packed all night. He books up really quick, and we were lucky to snag him over a year out.

    Another for DJ Melee!  We booked him on the spot.  He's younger and hip and knows his stuff.  I've never heard a bad thing about him!

    [QUOTE]I've heard amazing things about Powerstation Events.  They have a whole staff of DJ's so you can choose one that best suits you and your event.  They are also very professional and organized and a lot of fun to work with!  Their prices are based on what DJ you choose, how long your event is, etc. so you can kind of control how much you're spending.  Also, I've heard nothing but rave reviews for them.  They get everyone on the dance floor and keep them there!

    Sorry, I have a not-so-rave review of them and I didn't even use them....just considered them.  After we decided to go with someone else the person from Powerstation was less but pleasant and I will never recommend them due to how unprofessional he was.  You can also find DJ's for a lot cheaper that will personalize your night for you instead of making your wedding like every other wedding they've DJ'ed at.

    DJ Melee is a board favorite, sadly he was booked for my day.

    However, my DJ was AWESOME and prices were far below any rates I was seeing.  He has an infectious personality that you can't help but love, and he got my crowd on the floor.  He goes above and beyond in every sense of the word, without jacking up his price

    I don't want to vendor bash, but trust me.. no.  Just no.

    OP, check out Zach Dauphinais!  He's my DJ.  He's young, really affordable, works at a CT radio station and totally knows his stuff.  I can't wait to work with him!

    We're using DJ Ronnie from Musically Yours out of Danbury.  He was very reaonable any professional.  Looking forward to hearing him at our wedding!
