The DJ will be the single biggest factor in whether your reception pops or fizzles. Did you know that according to The Knot.com, USA Today and National Bride Magazine that before the reception brides ranked entertainment as 9th, in importance. After the reception the same brides ranked entertainment 1st. Why do you think that is?

Imagine you have the perfect reception hall, decorated to your perfection with the best cake and food in town. You have hired the best photograher and videographer in town, all your family and friends are in this beautiful setting and you saved $200 bucks on the DJ, and he stinks..
