DJ James Hayes 

DJ’ing $600 Any event any length of time

 

There is one specific advantage to hiring me as you DJ and that it is I who comes out to entertain at your event! Unlike larger entertainment companies, who may send out a random entertainer, with me the person you talk to is the person who comes to DJ your event. I work with you to coordinate the songs and special events/announcements that occur throughout the evening. I respond quickly when contacted, use digital tools like google docs and forms (which allow you to electronically share playlists with friends and family to devise song suggestions), and provide you resources to help play the musical entertainment for the evening. Additionally, I am always happy to meet face to face to coordinate events ahead of time as well.

 

The other advantage to hiring me out is reasonable pricing. I charge a flat rate of $500 for any event I am a part of. As a sole proprietor (just me and my stuff) I can offer incredibly competitive rates because I don’t have to worry about paying employees, advertising, and office space that make up the overhead costs of many larger entertainment companies. Furthermore, I gurantee all of my services.    

 

Weddings $600 Ceremony and Reception

 

Easily 75% of my business involves DJ'ing weddings. I have worked hundreds of wedding ceremonies and receptions, am contracted through top-rated entertainment companies, and work with you to customize the entertainment at your wedding the way you want it. My motto is, "If you love the chicken dance I love the chicken dance, if you hate the chicken dance then I hate the chicken dance". No surprises or "cheesiness" that are hallmarks of a bad DJ. I talk everything over with you. 

 

The $500 price tag includes a PA system (big speakers), microphones, and LED dance lighting for the reception. Enough light and sound for any gymnasium sized room. Additionally, I am able to provide music and microphones for the ceremony as well at no extra charge. I can set up either inside, outside, or both. I can accomodate multiple room setups too. Many receptions feature a cocktail hour and I am able to set up speakers to play music during cocktail hour (even if it is being held in a seperate room from the reception). I do not charge extra for moving my speakers around either. No hidden fees or surprises with me. 

 

School Dances/Corporate Events $600

 

Not only am I a wedding DJ, but I also am set up to DJ for Schools and Corporate Events. In the past I have DJ’ed for the NFL, Aflac, Cleveland State University, the University of Akron, Youngstown State University, Stow-Monroe Falls High School, Bay Village Schools, Chagrin Falls High School, Harley Davidson, and the Make a Wish Foundation. to name just a few schools and organizations. I bring two sound systems to these events for big sound as well as LED dance lighting, with the option to add a projector and screen (for presentations music videos or both) at no extra charge.

 

Birthday/Private Parties $400

 

I am also available for birthday parties and private parties. Whether it is a karaoke party, a graduation party, or sweet 16.

 

Bar/Bat Mitzvah’s $600

 

Another service I offer is to entertain at both Bar and Bat Mitzvah’s. In addition to bringing all the best music I make sure to have lots of games prepared for the kids so everyone is set to have an enjoyable and memorable time.
