As u guys know, after recent small growths in invite #s I decided I should get a DJI
Its a day wedding so, I didnt intend on paying alot for a DJ
My bestie had a 30th bday party and the DJ was pretty good.  I enjoyed it.  I asked the charge. she said $300... I was like "GREAT"  That was a sat night. 

Well I knew hed upcharge me a bit cuz its a wedding.  But, ladies, my wedding is a THURSDAY, MID DAY.  what other money was he gonna make that day? right? 

This fool quotes me $700... WHAAAAAT />?????  from $300.... nigro please.  u are a party dj I was just letting do my wedding from a hook up. 

NEVA MIND DAT!!

Up until now I was gonna make an IPOD list AN-EEE-WAYZZ

    Yeah, that's way too high.  Tell him to kick rocks!  We're having a Sunday brunch wedding and the DJ charged $335.

    Heck no! You can go rent a speaker with an ipod attachment and play the music on shuffle though your playlist. That's what we do at the baseball field for out cookouts after the little league games. LOL

    I know its not the same, BUT it wont be $700 either.

    Bargain with him. For an afternoon wedding, 350 is better than nothing.

    I just checked out gigmasters and sent out a quote request. But I plainly said I was willing to pay around $300 because it is a mid day thursday wedding for only around 30-40 guests
