Solo DJ vs DJ/MC combo

Personally, I would go with the one who is $500 more. They already sound like they are taking you much more seriously as a client by meeting you personally, taking the time to be personable towards you. I would assume the cheaper DJ is cheaper for just that reason, they want to just play music and not provide a people service. I also think the DJ/MC combo is really important as opposed to just the DJ

I think you can definitely have a DJ who acts as an emcee too, so I'd be more worried about the cheaper option because the meeting didn't go great and they can give you a specific DJ at this time. If they can assign someone to you in a year, and if you can meet with that person and possibly change to someone else if they're not working for you, then I'd still keep the cheaper option in the running. If not, the $500 is worth the peace of mind.

Hey Jacquelene!

I totally understand how difficult this decision must be for you, but you have to acknowledge your feelings about meeting with the first company. If you do not feel comfortable booking without knowing who you will get on your actual wedding day, that makes total sense!

Does your budget stretch far enough to hire the DJ/MC combo that you felt more comfortable with?

Do you think you will go in this direction?

So happy you made a decision you are happy with!! 😍
