Choosing a DJ
With all the vendors we’ve booked so far, there has been a definite, clear winner. I know what I’m looking for, so it’s been pretty easy finding a match.
We interviewed three DJs. You know what happened with the first, so we’ll just pretend they don’t exist. I wanted to interview Elite Entertainment as well, but I just don’t feel like finding the time to go see them when I already had two great options to chose from. Colorblind Productions and Create Excitement. Both have amazing reviews, amazing owners, impressive experience and equipment, and both are the same price.
Create Excitement has an online library of music and you can pick which songs you want played through their online tool. It’s pretty neat. He can also have music videos playing on the projection screen when it isn’t being used for karaoke.
Colorblind comes with a two person team to make sure everything stays running smoothly. They also have many glowing reviews on various wedding websites. The biggest factor swaying us their way is that they also do video and for a good price. Only Garden State has quoted me a lower price, but that’s only for very basic editing. With Colorblind, we get the whole deal. It’s still more than we budgeted though for video + DJ. We’ll have to discuss more this weekend.
