Brides have at least ONE thing that is very important to them when planning their wedding

You may not realize it but as a prospective bride there is at least ONE item of your wedding that you are “high maintainance” about.  That is not meant to be a negative, however, every  bride has one thing (at least) that is very important to her when it comes to the planning of her wedding.  Whether it is the wedding dress, cake, reception site, flowers, entertainment, you name it and almost every bride wants that ONE thing to be perfect. 

She may not care that flowers are just OK or that she doesn’t have  multiple photographers tripping over themselves to “shoot” every angle but she may be very particular about how the cake tastes or that her guests have a great dinner.

Again, there is nothing wrong with that, actually that is a good thing because she can then prioritize the other items that she wants to have but may not be as important to her as that ONE THING.

So indulge yourself with the ONE THING that you have to have just perfect for your wedding and don’t feel bad about it.

Desert Music Entertainment DJ Packages

Description of Packages

(All packages are 4 hours of continuous service, additional hours are available)

The Pro DJ Package $595

If your event is in a smaller venue and you are expecting a crowd of 150 or less and have no need for a fancy light show, the Pro DJ Package is just what you are looking for!  You still get one of the most experienced DJs in Arizona, your choice of music and access to your password protected account on DesertMusicEntertainment.com. 24/7, as well as full-time support from our management staff.

The Big Lights Package $695

Looking for a BIG party atmosphere once dinner is over?  Dazzling lighting effects will create that mood?  When you go out dancing at a nice club, what do you see?  Lights, lights and more lights!  Have your venue dim their house lights and we’ll fire ours up.  The Big Lights Package combines different lighting effects with your choice of fun, upbeat music and you’d swear you were at a dance club!

The Big Sound Package $695

Looking for a little more ‘oomph’ in your music?  The kind of sound you can feel?  Our Big Sound Package delivers the goods!  And, don’t worry Moms and Dads—during cocktail and dinner, having more speakers actually can equate to LESS VOLUME.  By extending the additional 2 speakers, included in this package, strategically throughout your venue, we can actually reach more ears with less volume.  This package works great with those uniquely shaped venues when you may need the DJ to have a speaker go around a corner to reach a far part of the room.  You get your choice of either an additional 2 speakers (for a total of 4) or a subwoofer to really feel the bass!

The Big Lights and Big Sound Package $795

Combine the dazzling display of our Big Lights Package with the awesome sound of our Big Sound Package.  This package is a client favorite.

The Ultimate Package $1195

This is our most exclusive package!!!  You get our Big Lights AND Big Sound Packages, PLUS, a second set-up for your ceremony (if your ceremony is in a different location than your reception), our Custom Image Projection AND our Accent Lighting in the color of your choice.  You can save yourself $100 by booking this package (as compared with booking all of these options from our A La Carte list).
