Ditto! I've turned down dozens of weddings during the past year, and in many instances give the people asking the name and telephone number of a GOOD DJ. I'll stick with the senior events, nursing homes, assisted living centers, retirement communities and private parties - lots more fun, far less headaches, wonderful people, and great pay. When I was doing weddings with a band, we did about two a month - not enough to make a full time living by a long shot. Yeah, the band charged $1,500 for the four hours, I went home with $300, which was $75 less than I would have made for three hours of NH performances. A GOOD DJ, in this part of the world, will pick up about $600 to $800 for a wedding job, but most of those guys are lucky to do 15 jobs a year - about half the number of jobs a good OMB working the senior circuit does a month. And, the last wedding I did Don Mason sent the same drunken, dozen young, barefooted girls up here to dominate the dancefloor that plagued him in Louisiana every time he did a wedding.
