Spotlight: The $500 DJ and Avoiding a Wedding Disaster

A picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes saving a little money, turns out to be no savings at all. What you don't see in these images, is the mortified clients.
Imagine how your wedding day would go, if your guests entered your ballroom, to be greeted by one of these monstrosities, or messy pigsty's straight out of some audio hobbyists bedroom.

Notice the Runner in the image to the right. This is the scene of not only someones reception. But their ceremony as well. What you're looking at is a large wooden frame with red rope-lights. I can only imagine the DJ thought everyone had come to see HIM. So sad.

Here is the table of CDs from the same wedding above. Without even getting into any debate that CDs are old technology, the area is a disorganized mess.

You may have heard if a national company called "The Pros". They will supposedly connect you with a wedding professional in your area. This is one such "pro". What a cluttered mess of wires.





This DJ offers to bring a whopping $80,000 worth of equipment to your wedding! All for $795! Firstly, the equipment in this image is nowhere near $80,000 in value. But if it were, I think most couples would prefer he left $70,000 worth of it AT HOME.




Just ridiculous. A "truss" is the large metal "frame" that DJs sometimes setup and hang lights on. Unless carefully wired and/or dressed, they are often an eyesore.





Another huge truss, this time with hardly any lights at all. I'm not sure which looks worse.

Go ahead, make a request... Trust me, there is a DJ hiding back there somewhere. Possibly wearing a tin foil hat.

This looks like a great outdoor wedding, or family reunion, or graduation party. The DJ was kind enough to get all "gussied up" in a tank top so everyone could enjoy his muscles. My wife would say this entire post is too smarmy. I'll stop.

 I don't have anything snappy to say about this one. I'm speechless!

A yard sale electronics table?

This wedding looks like it's in a decent Hotel conference room. What a mess!

See any messy wires?

All of our equipment connectivity is in the front of our cases, and any extra cabling is wound and tucked away neatly. No eyesore, no tripping hazard.

The image to the left shows our speakers at a recent wedding reception. Our Cords to speakers are always neatly wrapped and hidden. The sound system in this image provides more than enough for a group as large as 300 guests. All of our equipment is modern, cutting edge, and unobtrusive.
