I am Gordon Slagle, I own and operate a full time Disc Jockey service. I have been a D.J. for 16 years, and a self-employed full time D.J. for the last 11.
Cost is a big concern for couples looking for a D.J., but, it shouldn't be the only one. It's important to hire a proffessional. I feel people have the right to expect their D.J. to make their event a "day to remember". In order to achieve this, a D.J. should know his business, coordinate your reception with hall managers, caterers, photographers, family, be fun and imaginative, and make your affair memorable.
