How to Get the Best Bang for your Buck
Jan 26, 2010

With the changes the economy has brought on to all of us over the last 2 years, that still doesn't stop you from having to plan and budget for your Wedding Day.  For somebody who has booked thousands of successful bands and DJs for receptions, there are just as many weddings happening now as there ever were.  However, people's budgets have adjusted to the economy just like everything else.  

So how do you get the "best bang for your buck" in finding not only an affordable band or DJ, but more importantly one who is qualified, experienced, proven and knows how to perform for a reception?

With the internet today, it's OVERWHELMING when a bride starts to look at ALL the different options out there for her to choose from when it comes to Entertainment, let alone everything else she needs to have in place for her wedding and reception.  Sure, you can go direct with most bands and savvy DJs these days.  However, are you sure you know what you're getting?  Have you researched this band or DJ & given recent references that you can actually contact?  If so, great, then negotiate your price with them, but then what next?  It's a lot harder than it sounds, especially with bands because band pricing is all over the spectrum with some bands being as little as $1500 to the far extreme of $10,000.  How are you supposed to know what they're worth?  Once that is figured out, how are you guaranteed this "xyz" band or DJ will show up on the most important day of your life?  What happens if they break up or get sick?  Will they be able to get you a comparable band last minute?  The answer to those questions is "No".  When you book a band or solo DJ direct, you have no piece of mind or guarantee that you are covered in case of emergency.

That's what One Stop Live is here for.  We know how important the music is for a reception. We take away those worries and guarantee you the best Entertainment options for the best pricing we can get for you.  We have bands & DJs on standby every weekend in case of emergency.  My company has over 30 combined years in the industry and I have personally worked with THOUSANDS of happy couples find the perfect entertainment to fit their needs over my career.  We're here to not only find options that are within your budget, but options that are well rehearsed in doing wedding receptions.  We also help you pre-plan all the formalities with our online planning forms and we also help map everything out in advance down to the first & last dance selections.  Your band or DJ will not only emcee your event, but help manage your event and make everything happen on cue.  Not all bands & DJs know how to do this for weddings.  So, here at One Stop Live we only offer you those band and DJ options who have vast experience in doing receptions.  This ensures you and your guests have a GREAT time!

So, just as you will hire a professional caterer, photographer, florist, cake designer, shouldn't you hire a professional entertainment expert to help you secure the perfect band or DJ for the most important day of your life?
