   We paid for a DJ and had him do everything...music pre-ceremony, ceremony music & mics, cocktail music, MC, dinner music, and dancing. The total service was about 6.5 hours and we paid under $1000. At first I wanted to do an ipod reception, but I wanted to be sure people could hear the ceremony, that none of us had to…

   DJ Dan Viola DViola1234 at aol dot com (eight oh eight) 283-0124 Sorry for the weird formatting, don't want him to get all sorts of spam.

   My rec is for a DJ as well...one less thing to worry about if something goes wrong with the ipod and they can also MC. We're using DJ Boomshot...my WC's rec plus AK used him last month as well. I cannot remember if she posted a full vendor review or not but i believe she really liked him...he read the crowd really well and…

   We are just adding the Bose System and bringing my Ipod with a back up just in case. There will only be about 2 hours for dancing time and we really could not justify spending the money on a DJ.

    Who did you guys use or plan to use? We have pretty much decided to do everything at Olowalu instead of just the ceremony (EEEEEEEEK!!!) and now I'm looking into the entertainment portion of things. Our group will be under 40 (I hope). Please share your packages, prices, and reviews...thanks so much in advance :)
