Without doubt, the question we get asked first.. and most often is….
“What’s the cost ?” Not really suprising.
For people who understand the importance of high production values, reliability and a great reputation our answer usually doesn’t pose a problem! But for the people who got their other quote from “Shaky’s Good Time Roadshow”* … the answer can be something of a shock. So here’s how I attempt to put the cost of professional entertainment into context… in this example… for a wedding reception…
Based on the quotes you’ve had from DJ’s .. calculate the cost per head for your evening entertainment.
What’s the cost per head for your evening buffet ?
Out of those two things… which is the part of the day that guests look forward to, remember and talk about.. ?
Out of those two things… which is responsible for entertaining your guests for the longest time… ?
I could go on.. but most people have got it by now ! With about 100 guests, at the sort of venues we are normally booked for, we cost about half what the buffet costs. And that seems like really good value…. although we’re not as tasty as a good bacon roll.
If you’re looking for some budgeting help… get some free advice from a professional.. you’ll find loads of info over at The Wedding Genie
