My fiancée and I are trying to keep costs of our wedding down. We decided to have a brunch wedding and have been playing around with the idea of having a DJ or not. Initially I thought it would be a good idea mainly for the MC services to have someone do our announcements. Neither one of us are big on dancing but we are planning on doing the traditional first dance/father daughter dance. We are also planning on doing picnic games and having different activities for other non dancers to also have a fun time. That being said I did do research and received quotes from a few DJs. It seems finding someone under $2,000 for 5-6 hours late morning is a bit more difficult than anticipated so now I am considering opting out of the DJ all together and reallocating those funds elsewhere. So I want to see if I can get some input from those who did not have a DJ:
Was it worth it?
How did you create you playlist?
Who did you have working the playlist?
Did you have any announcements/how did it go?
What would you have done differently/any advice?
