DJ help

amianne420

so we had the idea of an ipod wedding with a friend MC-ing.  But now we might be thinking about doing a DJ, just in case something messes up.  Any ideas on Burgh-area DJ's that are good entertainers and are under $1000 for the night?

We are using Big Day Entertainment (from the strip district). They were recommened to me when I first started wedding planning, but I like you was thinking of doing an Ipod wedding. We just booked them last week. They have a ton of djs a lot that have been doing this for 10 or 20yrs. Ours is Mike L. he is very friendly and laid back. I am so glad we waited to book cause for the month of april they have a $200 dollars off special so we were able to book him for $650!! We went to the bridal show at the convention center a couple of weeks ago and we talked with a LethalDJServices and they start at $675. Good Luck!

I am using DJ Andy Booth, and he charges less than $1,000- I'm paying $850, although that was 2009 pricing (not sure if he has raised rates or not).  He comes highly recommended and I am very excited to work with him!

There are many other DJs recommended on the board's vendor list here:

I have to say that at least one bride on the board had a bad enough experience with Lethal DJ that they are included in our "Vendor Beware" list.  Let me know if you would like the list to see details and I can PM it to you.

Andy Hutelmyer.  very affordable.  I went to a wedding where he DJd and it was amazing.  So of course I booked him for mine.

We are using Alan from ABK Productions.  We haven't heard much about him but he is very organized and has back ups for everything!  Here is his website.

We used D.C. SOUND. They were fantastic and didn't charge us any extra for dance lighting.
