About Pricing ...
It is true that Winnipeggers love deals. Who doesn’t? But considering that music and dancing are normally the only entertainment for your wedding guests over a 7-hour period, do you really want to choose the cheapest company you can find? Think about how many of your friends have complained about a social, dance or wedding they went to because they didn’t like the music – that’s because they remember the music and/or the DJ (even if it’s for the wrong reasons)! You probably want people to remember what a good time they had at your event, NOT how loud the music was, how much rap the DJ played or empty the dance floor was. So if spending an extra $100 or $150 over the price of the cheapest DJ you find will give your guests a good time, isn’t it worth it? We know we're not the cheapest DJ company in the city, but you have to wonder why some companies charge $300 for an event. Are they good? Are they a registered business? Are they licensed? Do they protect you - the client - with a legal contract? Are you getting someone experienced? Knowledgeable about music? Familiar with your venue? Are they using home-grade audio equipment to play in a large room of 200 people? Are they using illegal downloaded music? Do they have backup equipment? Are their DJ’s only being paid minimum wage? Are they going to show up to your wedding wearing jeans? Are they really serious enough about their business to really care about your event – and if so, why are they not charging what their talent and service is worth?

During the wedding planning stage, Brides say their highest priorities are their dress, followed by the reception venue/meal. Reception entertainment is one of their lowest priorities. Within one week after their reception, 78% of Brides say they would have made the entertainment their highest priority! (Modern Bride Magazine survey)

If you think about what weddings cost – how much you pay for your dress, the cake, the cost per meal, the flowers, the photographer – is it really the best decision to skimp on the guests’ entertainment?
