A special note on my wedding rates.

"We worked with Chris for our wedding and honestly we could not have made a better choice. Chris went well above and beyond what we expected from a DJ by helping to plan the logistics of our ceremony. He had us won over before he even played a song! In the planning process, Chris brought up things that I never would have thought to plan out, which made all the difference for our day to go smoothly. He sent us a very detailed worksheet to plan out our ceremony step by step, came to our rehearsal and did a walk through with the entire wedding party and provided us with an itinerary that we could send to the rest of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page.

Chris also provided lighting services for us which made the reception tent look great and very elegant. Once the dancing portion of the night started, Chris continued to wow us. From the first song to the last, the party did not stop. He did a great job of playing newer, more popular songs to keep me happy, while mixing in a few older, classic songs that got the older crowd dancing as well.

Throughout the whole process, he was so professional and easy to work with. Chris was happy to do what we wanted to make sure our day was exactly how we pictured it, but at the same time was a great source of advice when we were unsure about something. Looking back on our wedding, picking Chris as our DJ was the best decision we made. If he is available for your wedding, book him while you can!!!"

Extra Time

($75 per half hour) An additional half-hour of performance time. Use this option to extend the length of your DJ contract. You may opt for it at any time--even on the night of your event you may choose to have Chris stay beyond your contracted end time.

Additional Sound System

($275 - not for rent - may be added to DJ contract) There are many potential uses for this, including (but not limited to) wedding ceremonies held outdoors at the reception venue (or another venue altogether), outdoor cocktail hours or indoor cocktail hours held away from the reception space, dinner music in areas away from where the dancing will occur, and general sound reinforcement in overly large indoor or outdoor spaces (for example, providing nice, even sound over areas as large as the Crowne Plaza ballroom, the galleries at Mass MoCA, tents larger than 40' x 60', or L-shaped spaces like the Skyline Country Club is challenging using a single system stationed at the DJs table). Need music in a third space? No problem. Add $275 twice.

Additional Speaker

($90 per speaker - not for rent - may only be added to your existing DJ contract) There are many potential uses for this, including but not limited to, outdoor cocktail hours where the DJs indoor set up is visible through a window or door, providing music in an adjoining indoor space, and general sound reinforcement in overly large indoor or outdoor spaces (for example, providing nice, even sound over areas as large as the Crowne Plaza ballroom, the galleries at Mass MoCA, tents larger than 40' x 60', or L-shaped spaces like the Skyline Country Club is challenging using a single system stationed at the DJs table).

Uplighting

Crystal Chandeliers

Both styles are ideal over bars, food stations, head tables, and sweetheart tables. They can be grouped and hung in trees, barns, or tents. Click here to learn more.

Multimedia Projector

($99 - just the projector, without a screen). This can be used to add video to your event. Display your own photo slideshow or a video montage from a laptop or DVD. Often your venue can provide use of a free-standing portable video screen, or you may opt for one below. With different projectors to choose from ranging from 2000 to 4500 ansi lumens, short-throw or long-throw, I'll select the perfect one for your application. Don't worry, just like all of my other gear used on site, I'll have a backup.

Portable Power

($95 - not for rent, may only be added to your existing DJ contract) Perfect for instances where you need music and there is no electricity. You get all of the same high performance DJ gear I would normally use. No wimpy, scaled-down versions of anything here. No battery-powered speakers or other consumer-grade gear. Just raw, portable power. Enough to power my audio gear during a ceremony and/or cocktail hour. It's not a generator so it is completely silent and there are no smelly exhaust fumes. Now you can have your outdoor ceremony or cocktail hour wherever you want--literally!

135" Free-standing Video Projection Screen

($99 - just the screen, without a projector). Capable of front video projection only, this screen stands just over 10 feet tall and 8 feet wide and boasts a massive viewing area tht about 9 feet wide by 5 and 1/2 feet tall--that's a nearly eleven foot diagonal. What good is a presentation if the screen is too small for everyone to see it, right? If space in the venue allows for it, this is the answer for incorporating any kind of visual content for guest lists of over 100.
