Clients and halls refer us confidently because you hire us you get us (not our so called guys) no exceptions….  

·          Two man show (DJ and assistant) with wireless microphone offered for every occasion. Don’t listen to what our competitors say… this is one of CDJ Entertainments biggest assets to your weddings success.  It’s impossible to coordinate, entertain and run a wedding stuck behind a booth by yourself.  CDJ Entertainment knows first hand just how unorganized and flustered things get being alone. The cost on our end for assistants is worth the extra expense and importance in the success of your special day.

Playing more or less around what’s working best on the dance floor. At CDJ Entertainment we believe dinner music is where most our competitors fail to please. We believe top 40 and Pop songs are inappropriate for dinner music at a function as elegant as a wedding. We also won’t throw in some various CD and just let it run all through dinner? We offer a proven reputation of elegant individually picked dinner music selections, with well known Vocal classics along with popular smooth Jazz favorites and traditional Classical pieces.

·          Follow up final details meeting the week of your event Don’t underestimate the importance of this meeting.  Most DJ’s and even brides/grooms try to just touch base by phone during crunch time, the week of event.  At CDJ Entertainment making this final details meeting a requirement has proven to make each and every Michigan wedding a flawless event.  Going over every small detail in person guarantees no misunderstandings and/or small mistakes or mispronunciations.

Now let’s talk about what CDJ Entertainment is NOT…..

 

·          We’re not cheesy and obnoxious above all, that’s the number one wedding fear and complaint.  We’ve offered a proven laidback smooth elegant character year in year out. 

·          We’re not a high advertising multi system company attempting to send DJ #12 to your special day. With large companies who knows what DJ you’ll get. Plus their employee DJ’s usually get paid $125 - $175 (which actually means you’re getting a $125 DJ for your money, when you paid 4-6 times as much) At CDJ Entertainment you meet us personally, you get us… no exceptions…  

·          We’re not a part time professional or hobby DJ charging extreme low prices to make up for a lack of dedication and quality. $300-$400 sounds like great pay to someone doing this on weekends working around their real job. If the price is considerably lower than every professional you call, you should be VERY concerned. Ask yourself this important question? Can the most important day of your life afford the savings? 

·          We’re not just in this for the money we didn’t just download a bunch of free MP3’s off the internet to make some easy money on the weekends. At CDJ Entertainment we’ve dedicated our life to collecting everything music and its complimenting DJ profession. Our strong desire for all styles of music has helped us build one of the areas largest personal hand picked collections.  Our library raises eyebrows of individuals who’ve viewed it in person.  This honest passion for music is what truly separates CDJ Entertainment from it’s competitors. Let us bring our passion and style to your special day.    

·          We’re not sacrificing sound quality for weight.   In these days where our competitors are getting smaller and lighter self powered systems and compressing music to fit on laptops?  We’re not; Michigan wedding DJ CDJ Entertainment is actually doing the opposite. We don’t want sound quality to go backwards we want to go forward.  Since yr 2000 we’ve been replacing our popular compact discs from all eras with the world’s newest digital technology, Re-mastered, SHM and HQCD’s.  Yes at $30 - $50 a CD the cost is astronomical, and it’s hard lugging them around. But CDJ Entertainment won’t settle for anything less for our ears, or our Michigan wedding clients.

 

Don't settle for less!  Most people will agree the price for quality professional entertainment is one of the least expensive but single most important aspects of a wedding. Let Ralph Costa and CDJ Entertainment be the success of your special day.
