So, who's your DJ?

mymissingpuzzlepiece · February 2012

Hi girls

I'm just curious who you picked for your DJ and how much do you plan on spending on one?

Chobot · February 2012

I am using Sounds to Go and we also got a photo booth for just under 2g

jnnnj2014 · February 2012

Dominic from Elite...paid 1300 which includes outside ceremony music and cocktail hour...

kristen8040 · February 2012

We used Danny C. He came highly recommended from the girls here and he did not disappoint. There's a longer review on the knottie review page. He was about $1600.

dsimone43 · February 2012

DJ Alias from Scratch DJs. He'll have a small setup for the cocktail area and then larger for actual reception. All for a little under 2k.

Paul Anthony Ent. He's great, it's about 2100 for him plus uplighting and a monogram.

Me too... Reception plus uplighting and we paid a little more. He also did sound and music for our ceremony and I think it was an extra $250ish. He was great- played music I didn't know I wanted. Lol.

Out of curiosity - do these quotes include video montages and TV's??

We used Brian from VenueAudio. We payed $1600 for DJ, 2 televions that played pictures from our engagement party and vacation pictures of us, a monogram that they gave to us to keep which was great!, and up-lighting. I was suprised at the price but when we sat down and talked they seemed great and sure enough they were. Posh did my sisters and was great too but just more expensive.
