I'm not really sure. A DJ comes with the venue we chose.

We are having a stringed trio for the hour of the ceremony and then a playlist for reception time after.

DEFINITE splurge! I didn't spend too much more than I anticipated but I think that music is so important, as it really sets the mood for your day. I want to make sure people are dancing and having a good time!

Save. This is not something I care about. My finace would say splurge. He cares... he also want's karaoke and I give a look of horror each time he says it.

Hopefully saving a bit. Our old friend is a professional DJ, and if he's available the day we have the wedding he'll give us a good deal.

Definitely save. We have an IT friend and that is a helpful asset. He's going to set up the music for us in a digital format.

Saving. I'm using a CD for my walk down the aisle, and likely the same song in full when we leave. No formal reception planned.
