Please look at this chart from Modern Bride
magazine, while it was made about the wedding industry it
applies to all parties. It is very interesting that of all the
costs of your party, the thing that costs the least amount of
money is likely to be remembered the most. Every party is
different, therefore the prices for each party will vary. Many
people ask: “What is your price?” for their first question when
interviewing a prospective disc jockey service.
This is not the best
way to start your interview.
(check out our “Checklist”
for ideas about what you might want at your party)
If a company said that they would do your
party for $25, would you not be suspicious and leery? Of course
you would, while price is important, it should not be the
determining factor. The old adage applies here, “Cheaper is not
better”. You want to get all of the information and the most for
your money. One potential DJ may charge less because the company
is less experienced or is not as well equipped to handle your
function. Some DJ services charge more because their service has
a great reputation and may have many bookings. Companies like
Jonathan Productions may also have an exceptional sound and
light show and many years of experience. Remember the law of
supply and demand. Shop around and look for the best overall
package that fits you.
We want
you to find the professional that is right for you!
