What's included in reception DJ, MC, and sound?

Our reception service covers DJing and MC hosting, music planning, introductions and formal-dance cues, two wireless mics, and full dance-floor coverage with JBL mains and a subwoofer. Delivery, setup, a sound check, and strike are included.

Reception Only starts at $1,800 for up to 5 hours of DJ and MC service. Compare packages →

Our most-booked option, the Reception Only package ($1,800), pairs two JBL mains with a subwoofer and two wireless mics — enough for toasts to carry clearly and the dance floor to actually move. For back-to-back ceremony and reception coverage without compromise, see the Full Day package ($2,350).

DJing and MC announcements are already included in the full-service Reception Only and Full Day wedding packages. Your DJ manages music, introductions, formal dances, guest requests, and timeline cues while the production team operates the room sound. See how the DJ and MC service works →

Planning FAQ

Answers before event day.

How is reception sound different from ceremony sound?

Reception coverage usually requires more output and low-frequency support for music, plus microphones for introductions, toasts, and announcements.

Can reception sound cover dinner and the dance floor?

Yes. Speaker placement and coverage zones can be planned so speech remains clear during dinner while dance-floor energy is concentrated where it belongs.

Are DJing and MC announcements included?

Yes. Full-service reception packages include a DJ and MC for introductions, announcements, formal dances, music transitions, guest requests, and timeline coordination.

Do you coordinate with planners and venue teams?

Yes. The DJ and production team coordinate venue access, the run of show, announcement timing, formal moments, vendor setup, and teardown requirements.
