dj Dilemma

If it’s within the budget, yes I would invest in making sure your family feels included. Have you ever been in a situation where you understand little to nothing of what’s going on? It’s not pleasant

I think it may be worth the splurge. Another option is to see if one of the nine bilingual DJs would be willing to work with an MC and find a bilingual MC. MCs don’t generally cost as nearly as much as DJs and depending on how big of a price difference is between the more higher priced DJ it may be worth it

I think it would be worth the extra money. It would help your family feel included and they can enjoy the day with you. I couldn't imagine not be able to understand what is going on.

I'm not sure what the cost difference is. But if its excessive, could you look into hiring an English DJ and a Spanish translator?
Or do you have a friend or acquaintance who could do this for you?

If he’s the only option, I’d spend the money so that my family isn’t sitting around feeling lost and left out. Or maybe go with a less expensive DJ and hire someone upbeat to interpret (just an alternate idea).

Thanks for your input and ideas everyone! We're going to go for it!

Entertainment is very important part of reception. We have a 50/50 wedding and have made sure that the djs will be announcing in both languages.
