A disc jockey can make or break your special day. There is nothing like hiring a professional wedding entertainer to make your planning and reception stress free.

Update...

After The Vows was created several years ago when the economy was better.  Today it has changed a lot. More and more brides are now looking for a DJ service at 1985 pricing and finding out too late it was a bad decision. 

You can go online to YouTube and search for "disaster wedding DJ" and find way too many wedding horror stories, most because the couple went cheap.

I know you don't want to spend too much. There are DJs in this area that is, based on my knowledge, is over charging. $2000 to $3000 for just to play music and have some lighting is way too much.

But expecting to pay $150 to $400 for your disc jockey is like purchasing a wedding cake for $50 site unseen and untasted.  There are a lot of DJs advertising these low prices online but that is the only way they can get their bookings, by their low rates. No talent is required.

After contacting a disc jockey for your wedding set up an appointment to meet.  See if the DJ is a good match for you.  And the meeting should be non-obligating.  You do are NOT required to sign a contract at the meeting.  If the DJ insist on the contract you have a very powerful word to say..."No."  And walk away.
