Jemstar Entertainment "MORE Than Just About The Music!"

Wedding Packages / Pricing

First, a quick note:
I generally don't like to talk about pricing...  but with the way the economy is right now... 

It is likely that this is your first time hunting down pricing for a DJ... It's also likely, like everyone else, you're "working off a budget."  As you have been bumpin' around the Internet, looking for DJ pricing, it is well likely that you may have discovered a distinct commonality between us all:

Just like that Realtor Industry cliché' of including pictures of themselves with their business cards and bus bench advertising, members of the DJ community find it difficult to include their pricing for the world to see.

As you can see below, I have no problem with this.

I can tell you right now...  If you're looking for what most people seem to consider "bargain basement" DJ rates, my apologies in advance: You will likely NOT find them here (although I can safely say that I'm DEFINITELY NOT the most expensive around either...  I charge right at the national average). My clients generally don't hire me for my competitive pricing... I'm hired mostly via referral; by those who have seen me in action at a friend or relative's event, or in an on-line video, and/or have heard about my almost anal knack for detail to planning.

 

PLUS, I refuse to do what some other DJ companies resort to doing because of this highly topsy-turvy market (and economy): "HOOK" you with a ridiculously low, seemingly LLLLOW come-on price that's meant only to get you in the door. This tactic merely exhibits a sign of panic. Think about it... Who would feel the need to win you over with their rates? Wouldn't you think it would be those who 'd be lacking in something else?

Not me. Like the idiot I am, I always start by recommending the package that's best suited for you based upon listening to your dreams and desires...  AFTER THEN, I've been known to work with the pricing.

If you are not familiar with me or my service, it is likely you will not feel comfortable investing any amount I ask for.
CASE IN POINT: Would you hire me if I offered my services for... say... $100 for the entire affair ($1100 UNDER the National average)? ...  or how about one dollar?

CUSTOMARY Professional DJ rates are based upon experience, longevity, maturity, education, talent stature and...  professionalism ...  within their area.

Your wedding day is the ONE DAY when you want to "get it right".

And, for me, as "icing on the cake", you can also include utilization of the finest state-of-the-art professional DJ equipment, music, programming and materials into the basket.

I wouldn't want to ruin your wedding day any more than you would, but I also wouldn't want you to regret underestimating the value of your DJ for this VERY special occasion.

My client usually hires me after doing their homework... one who makes the time to do their due diligence and research.

They've enjoyed my philosophy, and were sufficiently impressed with my references / testimonials.

To wit... For more information about the world of Wedding Disc Jockeys & Entertainers, and for your edification, I invite you to peruse my collection of articles on the subject.

I also invite you to visit America's most trusted DJ Association site, www.ADJA.org for the most definitive information you'll need to help cut thru the jungle of DJs and Entertainers that are sure to bombard you with their communications.

Most first-time DJ hunters tend to not really know what the general going rates are... Therefore, I offer an empirical resource, and invite you to investigate a third party's estimation of what the customary pricing is in your neck-of-the-woods by using this handy device provided here.

This package also assumes you won't require my services of coordinating with any other professional vendor staff (venue representative, caterer, photographer, videographer, banquet manager, planners, etc) since my services for announcements will not be not required.

ONE FINAL IMPORTANT NOTE:

Because your wedding reception can never be the same as anyone else's,
it is highly recommended that all accurate rate inquiries for weddings be obtained
in person or via telephone consultation only

during which we can determine whether my style fits your vision,
and how I can personalize your needs.

You may find that selecting a DJ is different than selecting any other vendor for your celebration; The MC / DJ / Entertainer is responsible for making sure that your event is engaging, fun and memorable for you and your guests. Because of this, you are entitled to feel confident that this person is going to meet your expectations both professionally and personally... a kind of assurance and confidence that can only be conveyed in person.
