| Nation-wide DJ pricing surveys indicate that $1035 should be the rate for a DJ with Paul's level of experience on a Saturday during June or September. Many opportunities for discounts exist, so please contact us to customize a quote for you. The first feature included with a Paul Young DJ booking is his 20 years of experience. Having done over 1000 wedding receptions, Paul has the skills required to make every aspect of your event flow smoothly, from the ceremony to the send-off song. Secondly, you are entitled to unlimited planning time with Paul, personally, to tailor your song list, customize your light show and fine tune the interaction level from quiet class to "entertainer style." Third is the music database: Paul is the Macken Music "music librarian" and has access to any song you'd like played at you event. He knows over 10,000 proven party songs inside and out. More features: 4. Exceptional Audio Quality Paul has personally configured his gear for instant troubleshooting and adjustments. Also important: When Paul speaks on the microphone, guests can clearly understand every word throughout the room. Paul changes tone setting on each song to keep the "wall of sound" consistent with "clean highs" and "solid bass." Ask for a free live demo. 5. Two styles of light shows blended for a perfect look: Sophisticated up lighting along the walls mixed with moments of colorful "sparkle lights" aimed throughout the room- as well as a mirror ball and special follow spot for highlighting key moments, such as the grand march and first dance. Your light show style is customized for you during the planning process. 6. Two microphones, including a Cordless Shure SM-58 microphone for your head table to use. The quality of this microphone is especially important in big rooms where the head table is over 100 feet from the DJ table. Paul will introduce anyone about to make a toast or speech with his extra microphone at the DJ table. 7. Video projector and screen: Paul can bring along a powerful video projector for your slide show and run the audio through his sound system. Paul has experience running slide shows on the side of the dance floor during the dance as well. (Important: Check your venue rental agreement to see if you are required to use an in-house AV company for video projectors and projection screens). 8. Extra photos: Upon request, Paul will take digital photos from the stage for you. 9. If your ceremony is within 5 minutes of your reception, the price includes an outdoor sound system (1 speaker on a stand, 1 mic on a stand, and 1 extra mic if needed)- Note: You would need to bring electrical power to within 50 feet of the area where the mixer and speaker would be. 10. Black tux (with bow tie) is standard. 11. Customized song mixes, such as a slow song where your voices are mixed in. 12. Macken Music customer service and guarantee.
