1. DJ in Jax?

   

   Discussion by mcollins2 · June 2011 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› Florida-North Florida

   I am in the process of finding a DJ. Our photographer highly recommended D'Land Entertainment (Jeff Bell). I also sent inquiries to Unique Dj Entertainment and McGee based on quite a few positive reviews I read for both online. I have heard back from D'Land and Unique DJ Ent. D'Land is $1495 for 5 hours and Unique is $650…

   Our DJ was $1900. for the reception in Pensacola. He was so worth every penny though. After seeing them at another wedding we cut our decor budget, & I worked overtime to pay the extra. (We hadn't expected it to be that much either) I can't speak for Jeff, but I have been to several weddings up here & there is a night &…

   I called our DJ & he says all the guys with D'land are awesome! They said they are worth their price, & you would not be disappointed! I asked him about the difference in pricing. He said, a proper DJ is also an MC & offers so much more then a guy who shows up on time & plays the right music. Talk to him ask for specifics.…

   We used Unique, buut we had a few issues... like playing the wrong version of the song I walked down the aisle to, and keeping that wrong song going longer than needed, our FIRST DANCE being cut off, and then they threw in some advertisements for themselves as well (and they didn't play anything off of our requested…

   Wow that is a pretty large price difference! Have you asked D'Land why they are so much more than the others? Sometimes they offer more services, which would be a valid reason for the increase in price. Curious to see what others think because I haven't started looking for a DJ yet

   I am using Paul Deland from d'land and he is great! Definitely pricey though, we are paying 2500 but ive heard that Jeff Bell is great and definitely well worth the money. I went to a wedding that Unique was at and we had a blast. The dj was fun and energetic and played some awesome music. Im sure whoever you go with will…

   We used Charlie Roberts. He not only DJs, but performs live. He was there early, set up, played everything we asked, when asked, played requests from the guests and wish we could have stayed longer. We had a lot of compliments from our guests. We were from out of town and didn't get him our list until the day of (husband's…

   We are meeting with Jeff of D'Land next week and I'll certainly get the run down of his services then. I have heard that he is great and really gets the crowd going. But then I have also read great things about Unique and McGee. I guess it all comes down to that "feeling". We have a really lively group of friends and…
