HOW
IMPORTANT IS THE SUCCESS
OF YOUR WEDDING CELEBRATION?
Your wedding is a "once in a lifetime" event
that takes a lot of time (6 months to a year) and money (On average,
$20,000) to plan! The entertainer you choose should reflect your
personality and style, and your DJ will have a direct effect on
the success of your special day.
A party is by definition an "entertainment function"
and I will take on the responsibility to make your dreams come
true! Although the food, decorations, photography, cake, and party
favors, etc. are all important, will they keep your guests involved
and entertained?
Here's another perspective: 10% of the budget is a great value
for 80% of the responsibility and success of your wedding memories.
What Will A Professional DJ Provide?
Personalized Pre-Planning (Value: $300-$500):
We will meet and stay in touch with you to organize your timeline
and to customize your music requests. Having all of the details
taken care of ahead of time relieves a lot of stress!
Professional DJ Equipment (Cost to rent a DJ system $300-$600+):
In short, it's a $12,000 compact sound system that doesn't look
cheesy (All black, no company banners or advertising in sight),
and it allows your guests to experience the dance beat and announcements
without being blasted out. Just in case, back up equipment is
on call.
Music Library and Programming (Value: A 11,000 song collection
is not available for rent; to buy $$$$):
Your requests are welcome, offensive music is not! We can create
an elegant atmosphere or will keep your guests on the dance floor
by playing the right music at the right time to give your party
personality and timing.
Master of Ceremonies (Value: $300-$1000+):
The #1 fear in North America is public speaking, so having a polished
MC is essential to making your announcements in a timely and considerate
manner so your guests won't miss any special events.
Entertainment (Value $300-$Millions):
We will create a "Family Friendly Environment" with
our "Classy, yet Fun!" style, and the level of interaction
that you choose. We promise not to embarrass you and your guests
by being a "corny-game-show-host-wedding-singer" DJ
horror!
Coordination (Value: $500-$1000+):
On your wedding day the DJ will communicate with the newlyweds,
the caterer, and your other wedding professionals so that everything
runs smoothly. This leaves you more time to visit with your guests
and to dance!
Can't I just hire a lower to "average" priced DJ?
The reality is that every DJ Company offers a different level
of planning, expertise, experience, competency, and commitment.
If a DJ is not charging a professional fee, he is most likely
a beginner or part time hobbyist, and this means that his DJ interest
is not nearly as important as his "day job." You could
pay $500 - $600 for a DJ. But look at it like this
.
We will not cut corners on the most important event of your
life! Would you hire a "Cheap" Brain Surgeon? That
is the bottom line when you hire a cheap DJ service. We feel it
is un-necessary to lower our standards to compete with these "Discount"
DJ Services.
1. The quality of your Entertainment is directly proportional
to its price.
2. The success of your wedding is directly proportional to the
quality of your entertainment.
Food For Thought: If you're spending $10,000 on your food
and beverage (Yum!), then your sales tax (7%) plus Mandatory gratuity
(15%) will total $2200. Suddenly, the entertainment portion of
your budget looks like a great value!
In Closing:
Thank you for taking the time to read this! All of our Disc
Jockey Entertainers have at least 15 years of wedding experience,
and Ed Lee Music has been in business for over 20 years.
I want to understand your vision for your wedding day, and
to help create a special and memorable event that you and your
guests will cherish!
If you choose to go with my services, I promise to give you my
all and to do my very best!
