New Pricing for 2011

Yes, 2011 is here and we've restructured how we price weddings. Hopefully we've made it easier, less confusing and have a better offering with A La Carte options that include a dance floor rental and awesome lighting solutions for events!

Not only have we expande our offering, but we wanted to show more value to clients on a tight budget by offering a 5th package for clients with lower expectations of their DJ. Our pricing starts at $495 for Saturday receptions - but our packages extend up to $2795 for those who want us to be more involved with their events.

For general information about our pricing and wedding packages, please click here.

For specific pricing information for your wedding, please click here and fill out our quote form.

And as always, please feel free to check out our home page @ www.adamsdjservice.com.

Looking forward to a successful 2011!

Wedding Network USA

It was a fun event and very informative, too!

Top 10 Songs

OK, I know this isn't really wedding related, but I wouldn't mind dropping these tracks during dancing at a wedding reception! Here's my current top 10 songs that I like to play:

Yolanda Be Cool – We No Speak Americano, Taio Cruz – Dynamite, Kaskade ft. Dragonette – Fire In Your New Shoes, Black Eyed Peas – Rock That Body, David Guetta ft. Kid Cudi – Memories, Katy Perry – Teenage Dream (Kaskade Rmx.), Deadmau5 – Ghosts & Stuff, Afrojack ft. Eva Simons – Take Control, Usher ft. Pitbull – DJ Got Us Falling In Love (Hyper Crush Rmx.) and Jump Smokers ft. Alex Peace – Dance Rock Shake Pop (Reydon Rmx.).

For an 11th song...Wolfgang Gartner's 5th Symphony is completely awesome!

Just thought I'd share...

Some Recent Customer Testimonials

Here at Adam's DJ Service, our client testimonials mean a lot to us. We really appreciate it when customers tell us what they like and occasionally don't like about what we did or didn't do at their events. I wanted to share some recent testimonials about some of our DJ's for the thousands of people who visit our blog!
____________________________________________________
Students need direction and guidance when in social situations. Adam's DJ Service provided just that. When dancing became an issue, Adam changed the "tone" of the music which affected the students (and some parents) in a negative way. Once the behavior was calmed down, Adam changed the music in or to a different "tone" which then provided a positive spin until "dancing" became an issue once again. I was very pleased with the job Adam did and will recommend his company to anyone who needs music for an event.

Lars was so wonderful and so were you. Your company saved our wedding and your last minute assistance speaks volumes for the quality of your company and services. You come highly recommended by us and once again, thank you for helping to make our wedding the best day of our lives!

___________________________________________________
From start to finish, Adams DJ Service was AMAZING. After my first meeting with Adam, I really felt he had an understanding of what I was looking for. He was always quick to respond to my E-mail's, easy to work with, and gave me some wonderful referrals for other vendors. As my event got closer, Adam told me who my DJ was going to be, I was nervous because it wasn't Adam himself. But I felt confident that if Adam recommended him, he would be great, which is an understatement. We LOVED Kryspin, my guests LOVED Kryspin, he was THE BEST! We gave him a brief idea of the tone we were trying to create and a few song selections. Most of the songs played were not from that list, but they were perfect. Even the catering company was wondering who picked all the tracks. People started dancing as soon as the music started, there really wasn't any slow times. Kryspin also is a great MC. I hate it when the DJ at an event makes things awkward, this never happened. He made everyone feel at ease, was easy to approach, and really seemed to enjoy what he was doing. I can't say enough about him. I would definitely recommend Kryspin to anyone. Adam's DJ Service outperformed my expectations. I had so many vendors and entertainers at my reception, I was really nervous as to how they would all work together. Our DJ did a beautiful job announcing and working with (3) other performing groups. (which I should give a small shout out as they ROCKED as well: Bottom Line Duo, Nash Fung, and Teague T) Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! for playing your part to make my day awesome!!

DJ Sean did an excellent job with DJ'ing our wedding. He was punctual, had a great personality and catered to our every desire. He kept the party going and knew what to play based upon our requests and the genres that were working on the dance floor. I will highly recommend him and your DJ services overall to all our friends. Thank you guys for making the wedding so fun!

Adam DJ'd our wedding and was so great, we could not of asked for more. From the initial consultation, the meeting at our house to the rehearsal and even the day of the wedding he honored all our requests and made our priorities his. All our friends really enjoyed him, I would completely recommend him for any event that you have.

Travis did an excellent job at our wedding. I have absolutely no complaints and will highly recommend your company to anyone who is looking for a DJ. Travis played all of the songs on our "must play list" and none from our "do not play list" and he really paid attention to how the crowd responded to the music and did an awesome job at reading what music worked best for our group. He gave us great suggestions in our meeting before the wedding and was very personable. Our wedding turned out perfect and Travis and his services had a lot to do with it. Thank you so much for everything!

DJ Kryspin was well prepared for our event and I really appreciated how easy going he was. There were a few last minute adjustments made to the schedule and he did a great job of going with the flow. Kryspin was given a lot of freedom in music choice and I think he was able to read the crowd and select songs that event participants enjoyed.

Adam is a talented and outstanding DJ, host and organizer, who has a passion for his work. In an industry were most DJ’s create a cheesy cookie-cutter reception, Adam created an atmosphere that was unique our wedding. Most importantly when consulting with Adam he treated us like friends and not as profit. He sincerely wanted to make sure our reception was perfect, and it was thanks to Adam! The way he was able to coordinate the communication between caterers, photographers, planners and guests was extremely smooth and professional, the entire night went perfectly because of Adam. We had a diverse crowd from all over the world of varying cultures, including a very large contingent from NYC and were afraid our DJ would not be able to reach across the entire crowd. However Adam kept EVERYONE engaged and entertained without being in-your-face and annoying, and at the same time kept true to the theme we wanted for our wedding. All of our guests were so impressed with Adam that they took notes of what he did for upcoming weddings! A friend of mine said if Adam was based in NYC, he would’ve hired him on the spot for his upcoming Manhattan reception.
To top this all off Adam has professional ties throughout the Puget-sound area and was familiar with the staff and layout of our reception hall (The Canal at Ballard). I can go on and on of how impressed our guests and I were of Adam and his staff. He worked so hard and spent so much time with us to make sure things went right and did not hesitate with last minute changes. I would be more than happy to speak with anyone about Adam’s service, he went beyond what we expected from him and make our reception so perfect it was unreal.

Sean really made an effort to get to know our personalities and the social environment we would like. From there he developed the kind of music selection we would like, and what type would create the kind of party atmosphere we wanted for our reception. Although we wanted a "party" setting for the reception, he started by playing some of the kind of jazz we liked while setting up before guests arrived. This made for a nice intro while we were taking pictures and finishing up. He proceeded to keep the party going during the reception and got a lot of people dancing and having fun. He socialized with us a little towards the end....I think because HE was having fun! He also avoided stuff we would NOT like. So overall, a very good job well done!

Travis, our DJ, was really great about talking up our photo booth. Some of our older guests were a little wary of the whole idea of a photo booth at a wedding, but because Travis kept inviting people to come over and have fun with it, we got everyone to give it a try. He also was great about communicating with our caterer and photographers, so everything ran very smoothly. The music selection was great! One of our older relatives said she would love to get the playlist, as she could listen to it everyday, and one of our nieces danced until she could barley stand up anymore. Everyone had a really great time, and Travis was a huge part of that. We are so glad we choose to go with you guys. We could not have asked for a better experience.

We chose Adam with Adam's DJ Service because we appreciated his professionalism and flexibility. He was able to meet our needs within the limits of our budget which was one of our biggest deciding factors. Not only did he then give us what we wanted but went beyond to throw in some extra but necessary sound equipment for our event. Every time we met he was very courteous and friendly making it easy to work together. There was never any pressure or any major issues to worry about. I would definitely recommend Adam's DJ Service to any other organization planning an event requiring a DJ. I will be sure to call him again if I ever plan another event. Thanks again for making our night a success!

I wanted to let you know that your young DJ Travis did a terrific job for us at the Emerald Queen Casino for our class reunion. He was great at EmCeeing and announcements as it was like herding cats...the classmates were understandably more interested in talking with each other than being photographed. None-the-less, we did manage to create mini-portraits of nearly 80 couples plus the various groups...so the feedback has been favorable. Thanks again for your help with our event - your positive attitudes are appreciated. My compliments and thanks.
