The $1,000 DJ is a wedding entertainment company operating out of Lawrence, Kansas.

It's simple -- for a flat fee of $1,000, I will provide the jams for your big day. No hourly rates and no hidden fees. All I ask is that music ends by 11pm. I used to be able to go super late but now I've got two little ones that wake up at 6am and if I'm working until the wee hours of the morning it makes for a pretty miserable day lol. I provide all the speakers and microphones necessary for a ceremony and reception. I do not offer professional lighting however I do offer a tabletop lighting device that is spherical and shoots out colored lights as it spins. For how small it is, it actually creates a pretty large effect. I have DJ'd over 200 weddings (formerly with All Ears DJ and more recently independently) and have not received a single negative review on Wedding Wire and The Knot. I will professionally introduce events and dances on the mic and I will NOT be the cheesy, loud, hype-man DJ. In addition to my DJ skills, I also offer up to an hour of live acoustic covers that can really bring that extra touch to the pre-ceremony arrival of guests or during a cocktail hour. When not working weddings, I'm the primary singer and songwriter for the band The Roseline. You can check us out and decide if my voice and style is your vibe. And no, the live music comes at no extra cost. I can handle the pacing of the evening and I'll make sure we're staying close to the schedule on paper so you don't have to worry about anything other than having the best night of your lives. I'm willing to meet with you remotely or in-person as many times as you feel necessary for you to feel good about everything going into your big day. I've created a Reception Planner form which includes everything I could think of that might be incorporated into a wedding ceremony and reception. All I ask is you fill it out at least one week prior to your event and we'll be good to go. If you want to book me for your event I ask you sign a very simple one-page contract and pay a $250 deposit to hold your date. The remaining balance can be paid any time up until the start of the event. I accept cash, credit, check, Venmo, PayPal, et al. If you want a no frills, professional, and experienced DJ/live musician for your wedding or event, look no further than The $1,000 DJ.
Let me know if you want to hop on a call or zoom and discuss my services further. Cheers! -Colin
