Many times the first question I am asked when a new couple decides to make the commitment of marriage to one another is, "How much do you charge?" or "We are on a budget, can you work with us?"
The price you pay for entertainment is directly proportional to the quality you receive, which is directly proportional to the success of your event.
This statement could not be any more true, and you can easily compare something like this with having the Black Eyed Peas come perform at your event, or your local up-and-comers to try to put on the same show. Now granted, anyone is going to pay more for a Black Eyed Peas show and I am no celebrity, but its the quality of performance you are paying for and for what you are receiving that I am comparing here.
I am a full time DJ and have been for over 5 years now. Prior to that I was considered a "part" time DJ, but have been a DJ for nearly a decade now. What is the difference? I have at least 1 but average more or less 2 to 3 gigs a week as a DJ. Why is this important? Would you pay the extra money for a Doctor who goes to work weekly and does his surgeries and life around his profession, or would you try to save a few dollars by hiring a "qualified" doctor, but who only performs his profession a few times a year? This goes right back to the quote. Let's read that again shall we?
The price you pay for entertainment is directly proportional to the quality you receive, which is directly proportional to the success of your event.
I firmly believe in this statement, but I also understand, that each client is different to me. Different in their wants, needs, and most importantly, their budgets. This is why I offer a wide range of options to fit your needs.
If your looking for a "Cheap DJ", DJ Prievo Entertainment is not the place to find one. Good DJs are not cheap and cheap DJs are not good. Let me repeat that. Good DJs are not cheap and cheap DJs are not good.
Often times before when bride and grooms have looked at the pricing of DJs and really went through the thought process of this being the ONE SPECIAL day in their lives they will never forget, many to which have dreamed about since they were children, they have come to the realization that "cheaping" out on a Wedding DJ or as I consider myself, a Wedding Entertainment Specialist, is not an option.
Decor is important; its sets the mood but also makes for great pictures which help capture the moment in time where the bride and groom celebrated the culmination of their friendship and love. But I've always said, do people leave the wedding reception saying, "I had such a great time, those napkins were so pretty." Or "That was such a horrible wedding because their chair covers were cheap!" The answer is probably not. But have you heard this before..."It was an ok wedding." (DJ didn't do a good job or didn't do anything "SPECIAL" for your "SPECIAL" day!!) or "That was such a great wedding, the DJ was so much fun and so good. My feet hurt from dancing and he did ______ for the bride and groom! It was so special!!" Etc. I'm going to go with the second set of responses. You usually remember a wedding by how much fun you had. Think of the best wedding reception you've ever attended. I'm willing to assume that the reception you have in mind doesn't have people sitting in their chairs all night socializing and leaving early. Am I right?
Sad to say, but I was once that DJ. I am not afraid to say that. I was once the DJ who was affordable for EVERYONE but not wanted by everyone. I am not afraid to say I messed up my cousin's husband's last name as I announced them into their reception hall (my very first wedding). No one other than the groom and myself caught it, but it happened. These weddings I'm discussing are when people enjoyed their time but it wasn't anything SPECIAL. It was another by the book wedding where people show up, they eat your food, watch you do your first couple dances, then leave because, well, its just another wedding and their appearance was visualized.
This isn't me any more. This isn't what I offer anymore. Specialized and customized wedding introductions, love stories, customized wedding dances, voice overs, customized wedding speeches, recordings, etc... these are just SOME of the EXTRAs that I offer. These are all included with the music that flows flawlessly from one song to another so there isn't a want or need for your wedding guests to sit down; transitioning from your classic wedding oldies to the newest Rihanna and Black Eyed Peas songs that keeps even Grandma and Grandpa enjoying themselves along side the hippest of your peers. This is all included with a Master of Ceremonies (Emcee/MC), who has the perfect voice to set the tone for the evening and understands the importance of when and when not to speak and what to and not to say. WORD CHOICE. It's important when you are a Wedding MC. Would you rather hear, "Ladies and Gentlemen can I have your attention for the Father/Daughter Dance..." (Boring, everyday MC) or "Mr. Johnson, remember that special moment when Jessica first rode her bike without training wheels or when you were teaching her to drive a car, or graduating high school? Jessica has asked that you join her on the dance floor to share yet another special moment in your lives together and share a dance with you on her wedding day." Now that exact quote does not work for nearly 10% of my clients, but because I get to learn who the Bride and Groom are on a personal level, I know what works.
All of this is included with a younger, energetic, talented, but EXPERIENCED entertainer who is prepared, assists you with creating a timeline for your wedding from the moment the guests arrive to the last song of the night, all included regardless of what wedding package fits your needs!
The fiance is yours. The love is yours. The day is yours. But the memories are everyones and those memories should put smiles on everyone's face and WILL, if your DJ is DJ Prievo Entertainment. The choice, well that is yours too, so, make that a smart choice, make that choice, DJ Prievo Entertainment.
