Want to see what a "High End" Wedding is like?

I get calls and e-mails all the time asking me what it is like to DJ a "High End" Wedding Reception. Here is how you can see an example of them first hand.

There are two TV shows on the WE Network (Women’s Entertainment) that can give you a inside look at what a "High End” Wedding is like. Check your local cable listings for dates and times.

Platinum Weddings

My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding

Both of these shows follow a Bridal Couple and their Wedding Planner around from the early stages to the day of the event to let you see some Wedding Celebrations at their finest and most expensive.

These couple have large disposable incomes or wealthy parents willing to put out anywhere from One Hundred Thousand Dollars to over One Million Dollars for their Childs one special day.

Many times as they are planning the day a “Pop-UP” will show you the costs for that particular expense.

It’s not uncommon to see a Wedding dress for Ten Grand and up. Most Brides have two or three dress changes during their day.

The bling bling on the fingers, earlobes and around the neck cost as much or more than my first two marriages combined.

Flowers are flown in from all round the world, top chiefs with unbelievable food and huge 14 to 25 piece bands are common at these weddings. Many receptions will have both a Band and a DJ.

They will often show the rate of the band but almost never show the cost of the DJ alone. I would guess that it is because of the embarrassment of paying $5000 for the wedding cake and only $500 for the DJ.

There is no top limit to the expense that they will pay for their one special moment in life.

I consider these “High End” weddings due to the extravagant cost, planning, location sites and overall over abundance of overindulgence for their celebration.

Working events like these will really give you another point of view when it comes to your business. It can give you hope, respect and a feeling of importance when the Bridal couple is willing to pay you Two Grand and up for your personal services.

These Bridal couples can be so much easier to work with because they are inclined not to be “Bridezillas” or “Redneck Wedding” cliché type of clients.

They are looking for a classy, sophisticated, fun event without “cheese” or any possible chance of embarrassment for themselves of their guests.

They have a propensity to be upscale, educated and influential people who just want to have a good time without the hassles of incompetence or worries of problems.

This is why they are willing to put out the larger amounts of money in order to insure a beautiful, stress free day.

Depending on whom your client is, you may be required to sign a confidentiality contract to help preserve the exposure of the event to the news media or other unwanted guests.

Important information about Disc Jockeys - A listing on Craigslist

Here is a listing from Craigslist.....What do you think?


Important information about Disc Jockeys.


As you may have noticed while searching for the perfect entertainment for your Wedding Reception, DJ’s will charge anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars.

You may be asking yourself why there is such a big difference in the prices of Disc Jockeys, “Don’t they just play music?”

The answer is a simple NO.

All DJs ARE NOT ALIKE! Each DJ is unique and offer different skills, talents, experience and professionalism levels.

The DJ industry has made some great strides and improvements since 1999 in the quality and service that is expected from a Disc Jockey.

Associations, Magazines, DJ Newspapers, Seminars & Conventions have formed to better educate The DJ of the importance of what they do and how to elevate their quality, service, performance and professionalism.

The Average wedding in Minnesota (2008) will cost when all is said and done will be between $20,000 and $30,000 and that is for the Average wedding.

Here is a quick breakdown of how a Professional Disc Jockey Entertainer will/should base their rates at which they charge to operate a successful business. (In no particular order)

1) Talent.
2) Experience.
3) Quality of service provided to clients.
4) DJ Training and continuing education.
5) Emcee ability.
6) Professionalism.
7) Coordinating & planning time and ability.
8) Music Knowledge & ability to mix music.
9) Equipment used and upkeep (Lights & sound)
10) Daily Business operating expenses.
11) Salary for self and any employees.
12) Advertising Budget.
13) Insurance Costs.
14) The purchasing and upkeep of a LEGAL Music library.
15) Business vehicles maintenance & fuel.
16) State and Federal income taxes.
17) Rent or Mortgage for business.
18) Web site expenditures.
19) Phone, Heating & Utilities of office.
20) Health care.

As you can see there is a great deal of logistics involved in operating a successful Disc Jockey Business.

In Minnesota and the majority of the United States it is the law to operate a business that the business is registered with the Secretary of State in the state it is operating.

Is your DJ Registered with the Secretary of State as a legal business?

http://www.sos.state.mn.us

It is illegal for anyone including Disc Jockeys to illegally download, share music or make copies of music (CDs).

All music and copies must be paid for and purchased from a reputable music store (Wal-Mart, Best Buy etc) pay per song internet site (iTunes) or other way in which the producers, singers, writers and musicians receive compensation for their work. (Prime Cuts - TM Century)

At this very moment over 20,000 people are being sued by the R.I.A.A. for music infringement laws. Recently a woman (non DJ) from MN lost her fight against them and was fined heavily. What do you think would happen to a DJ whose musical library was illegally downloaded, shared music or bootleg copies?

Where does the music library of your DJ come from?

There are three basic types of Disc Jockeys.

1) Amateur: A person who does this for fun a few times a year. No real training, experience or quality.

2) Hobbyist: A person who does this as a part time job working for themselves or for a DJ service business.

3) Full Time Professional: A person who works 40 or more hours a week as a DJ and it is their major source of income.

Now you must decide, what is important to you for your once in a lifetime day and what is not.

The saying "You Get What You Pay For" can unfortunately be very true in the DJ industry.

Congratulations and Good Luck!

The Difference between a Bride of 1988 and the Bride of 2008.

I have been in the entertainment industry for over 25 years and have seen a real change in Brides from 1988 to the Brides of 2008.

Brides of today are much more sophisticated and wanting more of an elegant, classy Wedding Ceremony and Reception. They are more refined with wanting a Reception that is unique to her and not the same Wedding day as her mothers.

The Brides of 2008 are looking for a beautiful day that easily could be a scene from a movie or a segment of a Wedding Bridal Show on TV.

When searching for vendors for her special day the greater majority of Brides use the internet to do her preliminary research for the vendors that will make her dreams come true.

These brides have been using computers and the internet since the first grade and have grown up with it in their bedrooms as a window to the world.

In 1988 the internet was still fairly new and most vendors were still in the habit of using the old standard methods of advertising such as the Yellow Pages.

Today a Bride can research everything there is to know about planning a Wedding not only in her area but also from all around the world.

As you read this there are hundreds of internet Wedding forums web sites that allow Brides to speak to other Brides, Vendors and Wedding Experts from all around the world. There are also hundreds of Bridal magazines available to read along with a complete Cable network that offers Brides the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to Wedding celebrations.

With more Brides watching these shows, most are deciding they defiantly want a Wedding Day more like those on “Platinum Weddings” and “The Knot…” then those Brides shown on shows like “Bridezillas” or "My Big Redneck Wedding”

When it comes to hiring a Disc Jockey as the Entertainment for their special day they are now realizing how important the DJ really is and the huge role they play in their one of a kind day.

Brides are looking for DJs who take an active part not only in the music but also in the planning and execution of the perfect day. They are looking for a DJ who can help them create a schedule for the day so that the flow, pace and feel of the day is smooth and peaceful.

They don’t want a DJ who acts like a “Clown” and embarrasses themselves or their guests. They are looking for a DJ who can play the appropriate songs at the correct time, not play songs that will offend or drive their guests out and a DJ who can with their personality lead a successful fun evening that keep all of their guests laughing, dancing and remembering that one evening for a long time.

Gone are the days of the “Chicken Dance” “Hokey Pokey” and even the “Macarena”. Most Brides are looking for elegance without the “Cheesy” DJ or the stereotypical “Wedding standards”.

Bridal couples want music played at the right level so that those on the dance floor have a good time dancing, but at the same time it doesn’t blast out the older guests from the reception.

With today’s technology Bridal couples are looking for Entertainment that doesn’t over power the room with huge speakers and light shows, they want Entertainment that smoothly blends in with the room at the correct size for the occasion and adds a dance atmosphere without the “Disco Bar” effect.

Live bands are slowly disappearing from the “Wedding” industry because the general public enjoys dancing to songs that they know from artists that they are familiar with. Most bands selection of music they that know and play well tend to stick with one or two genres and/or are small in size when compared to a mobile DJs ability to produce 1000 to over 20,000 songs at each event in any style, genre or mix. Bridal couples want a DJ who can play music to please eveyone at their party.

In 1988 a Bridal Couple would pay the average DJs rate of $250 to $350. In 2008 the average DJ will cost $800 to $900 with the more experienced, talented and professional DJs ranging from $1200 to over $2000.

One of the biggest changes that I have seen in the last twenty years is that more Bridal couples are waiting to be married until they have finished their higher education and have established themselves in the business world. Many are already home owners, with great careers and planning for the future with children and eventual retirement.

Disc Jockeys - Valentines Day brings rings to your phone

Valentines Day, February 14th is the number one day of the year chosen by gentlemen to propose to their special ladies. What does this mean for Disc Jockeys? Your phone should be ringing off the hook over the next few weeks with excited Brides looking to hire entertainment for their big wedding day!

Valentines Day is number one followed by Christmas and then New Years Eve for popping the question of marriage.

Because of this the need for booking entertainment is greatest from January to April for the DJ.

You can almost gage your entire year from the number of bookings you make during this time period. Sure others will also come along during the course of the year, but the first few months of the New Year is a pretty good gage to measure the potential success or failure of your business.

Most Bridal couples will first search for the perfect location for the ceremony followed by the location of the reception.

After these two items are locked down they will then begin looking for vendors to complete their beautiful day. Depending on the importance of each item by the couple will determine the order of which they will hire their wedding vendors.

If Photography is most important they will hire the photographer first. If the food is most important to them, then they will search for the right caterer.

They will go through their lists that will include vendors for the Brides dress, decorating, videography, flowers, Tuxes etc..

It's not known the exact reason but the majority of the time the Disc Jockey seems to be last or close to last on their list after such items as chair covers, favors and little bottles of bubbles.

One of the reasons could be the over abundance of Disc Jockeys available on any given weekend to perform the event and the uneducated clients who believe that all we do is "play music" thus we are all the exact same.

It is unfortunate for them if the budget is spent before they get the chance to really research the quality of a DJ Entertainer before being forced to hire the cheapest DJ they can find due to the lack of funds.

"Great Entertainment is not Cheap and Cheap Entertainment is not Great"

The average DJ for a Wedding reception will cost in 2008 approximately $800 to $900.

That is for the AVERAGE DJ. Average talent, skills, experience, quality etc.

Anything less could be just that…LESS THAN AVERAGE.

The more talent, skills, training, experience and time consumption with planning by the DJ and the quality of their equipment, advertising, production values and other business related costs the higher the rate will be.

How would you rate yourself for talent, skills, experience etc.?

Less then average: Less then $800
Average: $800 to $900
Better then average $1000 to $1500
Extremely better then average $2000 and up


Do your rates relate this fact to clients or do you just charge what the other guys charges?

It’s a wonderful feeling when a newly engaged couple calls you first to see what day you have open before selecting the day of which they will be married.

Valentines day is over and they had the weekend to spread the wonderful news. It is now time for them to begin to plan their magical day, are you ready? Are you available to answer your phone at any time of the day when they call? Can you meet with these potential clients at their beckoning?

Ring, Ring: opportunity calling?

The ever changing world of Technology.

We are now just one year away (Feb.2009) from one of the biggest technology changes since the evolution of black and white to color television.

Starting in February of 2009 all television programming will be broadcast in High Definition (HD).

What does this change mean to Americans? Well if you still have an old analogue TV (The TVs with tubes, turning dials, no cable box and/or rabbit ear antennas) you will not be able to receive network television.

For the majority of Americans this change will really mean very little. The greater majority of television viewers use a cable company or a satellite system to watch their favorite programs. As for now as long as you have one of these two systems you should not have any problems receiving the broadcast signal on your TV set no matter how old it may be. The only real difference after this will be the quality of the viewing of TV shows.

The next step is to move up to a High Definition, L.E.D. Plasma or other newer HD technology that will give you a cleaner, crisper and much more defined quality picture.

In over 25 years in the entertainment industry I have gone from Vinyl 78's, 33 1/3, 45’s, 8-Tracks & Cassettes to Compact Discs to MP3 & PCDJ computer software.

My sound system went from gigantic extremely heavy speakers and powerful amps to small lightweight self powered speakers to the BOSE Pas L1B1 sound technology.

My lighting changed from three light poles with huge heavy par cans & over thirty different lights to one small ten foot truss with a couple smaller light weight intelligent and 4 L.E.D. lights.

All this new technology makes our job easier to manage, control, transport and set up/tear down.

Recently I visited a web site of a DJ that I have known for my entire DJ career. He's a great guy and a wonderful entertainer. Unfortunately for him he is still using the exact same sound & light system that he has used for the last 25 to 30 years.

It consists of nothing but 2 and up to 6 light poles with 20 and up to 50 mid size par cans that just blink on and off in one color. Not that this is wrong, but it is very old school, very heavy/awkward and very boring lighting. He uses two huge speakers that sit on the floor (no subs) and very old CD players and mixing technology.

I personally feel that if he upgraded his lighting & sound system to something a little more modern, light weight and that can create an exciting atmosphere that he could be able to increase his rates as well as the number of events he books for him and his employees.

Technology for the DJ world is constantly changing, are you keeping up or falling behind?

A very sad story to tell.

This morning when I turned on my computer this was the first thing that I saw on the front page of Yahoo. A very sad story of a Bride who died in the arms of her new husband. (This article was copied from the front page of Yahoo on 2/11/08)

Bride dies during marriage's first dance

DAVIE, Fla. - Kim Sjostrom wanted a real-life version of the film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," which played in the background as friends fixed her hair and makeup before her own marriage ceremony.

But less than an hour after she and Teddy Efkarpides were wed, Sjostrom crumpled in her husband's arms during a Greek song that means "Love Me."

At 36, Sjostrom was dead from heart disease.

The wedding had became a project at Davie Elementary School, where Sjostrom taught first grade. Fellow teachers provided the wedding gown, the flowers and decorations. One of them, an ordained minister, performed the ceremony.

"It was perfect for her," said Dominic Church, the minister friend.

Sjostrom carried blue and white flowers during the ceremony — the colors of the Greek flag — as she exchanged vows with Efkarpides, a 43-year-old carpenter and Navy veteran. They had met three years to the day before the Jan. 19 wedding.

During the couple's first dance, Sjostrom complained of being lightheaded. Efkarpides thought his wife, a diabetic, needed sugar, but she collapsed.

Wedding guests, paramedics and doctors at a nearby hospital were unable to revive her.

She had a previous cardiac episode in her 20s and was a poster child — literally — for juvenile diabetes, relatives and friends said. Efkarpides recalled seeing the poster featuring her on New York subways.

He consoles himself by reading a list of "101 Reasons Why I Love You" that Sjostrom gave him their first Christmas together. Number 1. You make me smile."

No. 98 is especially difficult: "You're the one I want to grow old with."

Santana should be an inspiration to all DJs everywhere!

Not Carlos Santana, I’m talking about Baseball Pitcher Johan Santana.

Recently Johan Santana the former pitcher for the Minnesota Twins was traded to the New York Mets.

His starting salary with the Mets, $19 million per year along with a stadium box for home games, executive hotel suites for away games plus many other significant rate increases and perks over his pay scale with the MN Twins.

His salary over the next six years will increase from $19 million to over $25 million per year. He doesn’t play in every game, he gets paid even if he has a bad game and loses and he gets paid even if he gets hurt and sits on the bench for the next six years.

Is he really worth it? Some would say yes (The NY Mets Owners) some would say not (The MN, Twins Owners)

So how does Johan Santana big trade relate to the Disc Jockey industry?

Value vs. Worth.

Much like a DJ, Santana is a free business man who is able to ask for what ever salary he wants, expects and believes he deserves. Does he really deserve $19 million a year? Just from his performance and the great distance he has come over the last few years proves to the Mets that Santana is worth the money and they value his talents.

But unlike Santana Disc Jockeys are afraid to ask for the rate that they are truly worth and deserve. I’m not talking $$$ Millions but I am talking of hundreds of dollars more that they seem to be afraid to ask for.

It is a tough economy right now but that didn’t stop the Mets because they know with Santana as their pitcher the fans will still pay the admission and fill the seats. They know that he can offer them a better chance of winning games and the best possibility of winning the World Series.

With DJs even in the tough economy clients who are looking for a quality entertainer will still pay the higher rate knowing the value and worth of their entertainer.

The Mets could have picked up any pitcher with less experience and talent at a much cheaper cost but to them Santana was the choice they wanted no matter the costs.

Who are the real losers of this deal? The Minnesota Twins and their fans! The team wanted to save a few bucks, take a chance on some lesser talented, experienced and skilled players and hope that in the future they may turn out to be another Johan Santana.

Does this sound like the clients who call you on the phone and only ask “How much do you cost?” Then they hire the cheapest DJ that they can find taking a chance on some lesser talented, experienced and skilled DJ Entertainer and hope that their important day won’t be ruined by this “Button Pushing” non professional.

With DJs there are so many willing to work for little or nothing and for some that could be all that they are worth: Little or Nothing!

Unfortunately there are many DJs who are very talented, dedicated and skillful who are still charging so much less then their true worth and value.

Why do some DJs earn $1000, $1500, $2000 or more for an event????

Because they have a proven quality track record, talented, skilled and professional but most of all…..BECAUSE THEY ASK FOR IT!

To steal a baseball movie phase: If you build it, they will come…..For a Disc Jockey: If you ask for it, they will pay it…..

If every DJ raised their rates today $100 per event, that then will become standard, expected and reasonable rate to pay for entertainment that clients will expect and will pay for a DJ service.

Clients will need and expect to have entertainment for their events; they will adjust their budgets to allow for this higher rate.

Now if every DJ six months from now raised their rates another $100, when calling around clients will find that this will become the standard, expected and reasonable rate to pay for entertainment.

In one year if all DJs raised their rates another $100, when calling around clients will find that this will become the standard, expected and reasonable rate to pay for entertainment.

Clients will need and expect to have entertainment for their events; they will adjust their budgets to allow for this higher rate.

Sure there will always be those who try to undercut, those just starting out and those who are not talented enough to charge a respectable rate, but now even those DJs will be charging a higher rate then they did yesterday and you will be making $300 more per event then you are today.

It’s much like when you buy a compact disc. The general price of a disc is basically the same no matter where you buy it. There are a few places that charge slightly more, there are a few places that charge slightly less. But this price has become the standard, expected and reasonable rate to pay for a compact disc.

I know that at one location I purchase CDs the prices, even the sale prices may be slightly higher then the discount store down the street, but I don’t care for the lack of service, the untrained employees or the lack of variety in their music selections. For me I would rather pay a little more and be a happier customer then to save a few bucks and be miserable.

So take some inspiration from Johan Santana and ASK for the rate that you are worth and for the value of what you do!

American DJ’s Starball LED and Sunray LED

The mirrorball is a classic club effect from the ’70s that refuses to fade away – and now it’s brighter than ever!

American DJ has put a 21st-century spin on this perennially popular disco light with its new Starball/Sunray LED Series. The Starball/Sunray LEDs are rotating spherical effects that shoot beams around a room like mirrorballs, but they’re powered by cutting-edge LEDs instead of traditional halogen lamps.

There are 4 models in the new Starball/Sunray LED Series:
Starball LED, produces all-white beams
Sunray LED, produces multi-color beams
Starball LED DMX, DMX-compatible with all-white beams
Sunray LED DMX, DMX-compatible with multi-color beams

Great for use as centerpieces, all of the Starball/Sunray LEDs throw out 34 crisp, bright beams, which slowly rotate around the walls, ceilings and floors, giving wide coverage to a room or dance area. The Starball LED and Starball LED DMX produce brilliant white beams, while the Sunray LED and Sunray LED DMX feature beams in 5 eye-popping colors: green, purple, blue, yellow and orange.

All of the unit’s beams radiate from one powerful 3-watt LED light source. Juiced up by this brawny LED lamp, the beam are so ultra-bright, clear and sharp that they don’t require the use of fog.

“The Starball/Sunray LEDs are like a mirrorball pumped up on steroids,” said Scott Davies, General Manager of the American DJ Group of Companies. “Being powered by LEDs, their beams have such a high output and crispness that you don’t need fog to have them pop out at you. This makes them ideal centerpieces for weddings and other functions where you wouldn’t want a smoky room.”

Clubs and DJs will also appreciate the many other benefits that LED technology brings, such as low heat production. This keeps things cooler on the dance floor, and also lets you run the Starball/Sunray LEDs all night long without duty cycles, for a high-energy light show that never quits. Plus, when it’s time for mobile entertainers to pack up, there’s no waiting period for the units to cool down.

Another advantage is the long life of the units’ LEDs, which are rated at 50,000 hours. This virtually eliminates the hassle and expense of lamp replacement. What’s more, since LEDs consume much less electricity than halogen lamps of equivalent output, users can hook up more units on a single circuit and also save big on energy costs. The Starball LED and Sunray LED draw only 17W of power apiece, while the Starball LED DMX and Sunray LED DMX consume a stingy 10W each.

Extremely simple to use, the Starball/Sunray LEDs can be run as standalone effects right out of the box – just plug them in and watch them to rotate. They can also be operated with American DJ’s optional UC3 universal controller (sold separately).

The two DMX-compatible versions (Starball LED DMX and Sunray LED DMX) can also be operated with a standard DMX-512 controller. Each is equipped with 2 DMX channels, one for controlling strobing and dimming, and the other for controlling rotation speed and direction. Additionally, the Starball LED DMX and Sunray LED DMX can be run in sound-active mode with 8 built-in programs.

Super-compact and lightweight, the Starball/Sunray LEDs are ideal for mobile applications. Each effect weighs just 4 lbs. and measures 8.25”L x 8.25”W x 7”H.

The MSRP of the Starball LED is $139.95. The MSRP of the Starball LED DMX is $209.95. The MSRP of the Sunray LED is $139.95. The MSRP of the Sunray LED DMX is $209.95.

One Funny Wedding Show!

If you have not seen this, you have to tune in and watch "My Redneck Wedding" on the CMT cable network.


Every Friday evening there is a show called "My Redneck Wedding" on the CMT Cable network (Country Music Television)

Over the weekend and the following week they line up several of these shows in a row to fill a couple hours. It is hosted by Tom Arnold of once married to Roseanne Barr fame.

It basically follows around a couple having what Jeff Foxworthy would call a "Redneck Wedding"

Late, late last night I watched four shows in a row and woke my wife up from the laughing. This morning I had to explain to her what I was laughing about. She of course did not believe me, so when I saw that they were running the shows again this afternoon I had her watch them with me.

She'll never doubt me again! You have to see it to believe it!

Not to give too much away, but all of these weddings seemed to have these common elements involved.


1) Live Stock: Horses, donkeys, chickens, sheep...

2) Hay Bales to sit on.

3) Camouflage clothing. (Bride, Groom & Wedding Party)

4) Guns & Ammo - Cowboy hats and boots.

5) Missing Teeth

6) I.Q.’s that are smaller than their snake skin boots size.

7) Kegs of beer.

8) Tractors and/or ATVs

9) Barns and pastures.

10) Animal heads mounted on the walls.

One Bride had mud wrestling where she took on opponents while wearing her wedding dress.
One couple had a mattress tied to the back of an ATV and pulled people around the pasture like sledding.
Most Brides ride into the ceremony on horse back.

The gifts that the Bride & Groom give one another is an ending segment to the show. On one show the groom gave his new wife an old child’s riding wood horse that he actually found in the dumpsters behind a town business. One episode the Groom gave his Bride a pink rifle. One show the Bride had pictures of her wearing only blue chaps while riding a horse, had it framed and he then mounted it on their house wall.

I did notice that if they had any music, it came from a cassette boom box, the speakers in the back seat of an old car or from a three piece band who got paid with "All the beer they could drink"

I have seen on DJs web sites many pictures of weddings that they have performed for that looked as if it could have been on this show.

I have done weddings in barns and tents outside on a farm in the past, but they were still so much classier then anything that appears on this TV show.

I'm so glad that I charge way too much for this kind of customer and that I have the ability to "Just Say NO" to this kind of client.
