CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR UPCOMING WEDDING!

You'll spend months planning this day. Together, you'll pour yourselves into this dream. Each decision carefully made to insure that every detail is perfect. What a cherished day this will be! A day when those most dear to you will gather together to help you celebrate your love.

Think about it: everything important and wonderful about life comes together on your wedding day. We know we've done our job when your guests come up to you after your wedding to say: "That was the most fun we've ever had at a wedding!" We know how to generate excited reactions like that because we listen to you first (just take a look at some of our references). In other words, we play your kind of music and plan a party that fits your tastes. And secondly, we know how to read a crowd and motivate them to dance.

Pro Sound & Light Show & Absolute Celebrations respects this day above all others. We specialize in DJ entertainment for weddings. We do it extremely well. And we do it without busting your budget. Remember this: if your DJ company doesn't do a good job, you paid too much. Don't select your wedding DJ on price alone.

Here are a few statistics that we found interesting:

  • Before the wedding, brides ranked entertainment 9th in importance compared to their other wedding goods and services they would need.
  • On average only 5% of the wedding budget is spent on entertainment.

However, after the vows….

  • 72% of all brides say they would have spent more time choosing their reception entertainment.
  • Almost 100% say they would have spent more of their budget on the entertainment. During wedding planning, Brides say their highest priority is their attire, followed by the reception site and caterer - reception entertainment is among the least of their priorities.      
  • During wedding planning, Brides say their highest priority is their attire, followed by the reception site and caterer - reception entertainment is among the least of their priorities.

Within one week after their reception....

  • 78% of Brides say they would have made the entertainment their highest priority!
  • When asked 81% of guests say the thing they remember most about a wedding is the entertainment.
  • 65% of all couples that chose a band to entertain at their wedding, said, if they had it to do over again, they would have chosen a disc jockey.

(These statistics were published in St. Louis Bride & Groom Magazine in 2003. Sources include: Simmons, 2001; USA Today, 2002; National Bridal Service, 2001; The Knot, 2002; Brides Magazine, 2001.)

Disc Jockey rates vary based on talent, experience, emcee ability, service, coordination, equipment needed, music knowledge, mixing ability and personality.

Rates for Professional DJs vary greatly, ranging from $600 to $6,000 with an average of $1,500.00 for a 4 hour booking. The best price is not always the best deal, especially if you are planning a wedding. As a matter of fact, surveys conclude that nearly 100% of brides would have spent more money on their entertainment and made it their #1 priority in hindsight.

"I kept thinking about how high I thought the price was, but wow did we get what we paid for!  We had so many compliments on how wonderful the DJ and MC were, and how they really get the crowd involved. It was a perfect night of entertainment that I now realize you can't put a price on! Thank you!"

A full-service disc jockey company will normally invest 12 to 30 hours to your special event but it may appear that you are only paying for "music time". Consultations, music purchasing & editing, preparation, set-up and tear-down, education and other business related endeavors add up to the overall success of your special occasion.

A party by definition is an entertainment function. The current national average spent on a wedding day is about $28,000! At 6 hours for the wedding and reception, that's $4,666 per hour. If the guests leave just one hour early, because of a cheap, inexperienced DJ, the Bride and Groom will have lost $4,666!

"When we looked carefully at out budget, we were only "allowed" to spend $500 on our DJ, based upon a $10,000 budget. But when we had our first meeting at the office, we knew we could trim away some of the other things to have the DJ of our dreams. So, we did. We chose to go with the "Ultimate Sound & Light Package". We were impressed when looking at what it had to offer, and knew it would make our reception awesome. We knew it would be worth it..."

A lot of Brides and Grooms ask about price 1st because they've never hired a DJ before and they're not sure what to base their decision on. An important thing to know is that a DJ is not a commodity, there is a big difference in the quality between different DJs.

So if you're checking around, you're going to hear a lot of different rates, some probably more than ours and some for less, let me ask you this, who makes or breaks your party?

"We were nervous going in to it because many of our married friends said that the DJ can make or break the reception. But, in our case the DJ definitely made it a wonderful and fun celebration for everyone. He was very respectful of our likes and dislikes and was great about requests. There was never a time during the reception that the dance floor was empty! Everyone in attendance had a great time!"
