Spectrum Sounds Pricing Philosophy

What’s perfect wedding reception entertainment worth to you? Most of our couples have never planned a wedding, and while they may know how much they want to spend overall, they will have no clue how much to budget for any specific vendor. How do I know this is true? Because I planned a wedding, and to this day, my wife and I will occasionally discuss what we would have done differently at our wedding now that we are older than then. The things that were important to us at first (price, food selection, tablecloth colors, style of our cake) were not nearly as important after seeing horrible photographs of our ceremony and reception because we did not want to spend too much money on our photographer—a huge mistake that we regret to this day!

Ten years later, most of my friends can’t tell me what they ate and drank or what my wedding cake looked like, but they can tell me many of the songs they danced to and how much fun they had overall. So, what is my planning advice for engaged couples? Don’t set a budget that can’t match your expectations, and most importantly, don’t try to save a few dollars per guest by getting an inexperienced vendor that will disappoint you on your big day. “You get what you pay for” is a popular saying about any service industry, and almost every year, I have at least one bride who will call and apologize for not booking Spectrum Sound DJs because they chose a cheaper DJ (maybe only cheaper by $200) that ruined their reception. Experienced vendors (not just DJs) cost a little more in the wedding industry, but if you want a quality event, they are worth every penny.

In what order should you book your wedding vendors? Getting honest price quotes in the wedding DJ industry should not be complicated.

Have you noticed something about wedding DJ prices? Most disc jockeys won’t give you their price until you call or meet them in person, or they will charge a “premium” for their experienced entertainers and add hidden charges not mentioned on their website or during your call. Others will not publish how much experience their disc jockeys have (or don’t have), so you assume that everyone in their company is equally talented. I’ve been told repeatedly at industry trade shows and association meetings that I should not publish my rates. Why not, I ask? I’d rather be honest with my clients.

At Spectrum Sound DJs, we think our clients are smart cookies, and given some basic knowledge of our services, pricing, and available options from this site, they can decide whether to proceed with a no-cost, no-pressure consultation. When we set our prices, we looked at the rates of other disc jockeys referred by our industry peers (the same venues and wedding planners that also refer business to Spectrum Sound DJs). We established packages that were fair in price and superior in value to our competition. Call to learn about our stress-free wedding booking process.

“A la Carte” Services (add price shown to any package above)

• Additional Mini DJ System $200/ea. If you’re having a ceremony or cocktail hour in an area other than your “main room,” you should consider adding a second DJ system to ensure you have music (or even amplification and use of professional wireless microphones for your minister/readers).
• Additional Wireless Powered Speaker $200/ea. We now have professional-grade (TV station) wireless transmitters and receivers that can transmit HD audio sources from one room to another location within 200-300 feet (through walls on the same floor, but not always through floors of a building). The best application of this product is to reinforce sound from the dance floor to an adjacent room, lounge, bar, or foyer 50 feet or more from the dance floor.
• Additional Entertainment Time: $150 per 30 minutes / $300 per hour. You can add additional time in advance if you know your exact start and end times, or you can add an extra 30 minutes or an hour if your dance floor is packed with people eager to keep dancing (which we know will be). This option can only be paid for by check or cash on the day of your event.
• LED Uplighting: $35 per fixture (single color) / $50 per fixture (DMX-linked for multi-color changing). Available at a discounted rate in Spectrumsound.com Entertainment Packages #4, #5, and #6. LED uplights add color and sophistication to the walls, columns, and other interesting geometrical aspects of your reception, ceremony, or entrance space. Uplighting is best used in venues that lack non-dimmable lights or have light units programmed as “all areas or none,” leaving your guests in the dark or having a dance floor that is too bright. Add 12-20 units to cover most of your walls or just 6-10 fixtures to cover one “splash” wall. By using a DMX (a professional lighting protocol) connection and linking all of the units to a master wireless controller, you can have the lights fade in and out of colors during dinner and have them move to the beat of the music during dancing. If a single-color option is chosen, the client will select from a palate of 7 pre-programmed colors that most closely match their décor, and the lights will remain that same color all night (red, blue, green, white, purple, teal, amber/yellow). LED lights are compact and cool, and all wiring is neatly tucked or taped to prevent accidental tripping.
• Nightclub-style Light Show: $350 Features intelligent light gobos moving in sync with the music. A fog machine (if your venue permits) or vapor hazer is also included to contrast the lights in a darkened room. If adding both a light show and more than 12 up lights, a lighting effects technician may be hired by Spectrum Sound at no additional cost to run the light effects, permitting your DJ to concentrate on music programming and audience interaction fully. The light show is used during the dancing portion of your event only unless otherwise requested.
• Photo Video Montage: $300-$500 Equipment Only / $200 Additional for Presentation Creation A photo video montage is a great way to show friends and family the “story” of you and your fiancé/fiancée. You provide 75-150 photographs or digital photo files, and we create a slide show of your photos, set to the music you select. We provide the projector, screen, LCD TV, and DVD player (or laptop), and you provide us with the photos at least four weeks in advance. We return your photos (or files) at our final details meeting or your wedding (if you plan to go out of town). If you would rather have the photo montage loop on a 40″ LED TV, we can offer that equipment for the same $300 rate, or to have both, the fee is $500. If you want us to prepare the PowerPoint presentation or final DVD from your photos or digital files, you pay $200 more. You’ll receive the final presentation on CD or DVD on the day of your wedding in
