How much is the retainer to reserve my wedding date?

A $300 retainer will be required for your commitment to having your wedding with Matthew Allen Weddings & Events and enable us to begin planning your event.  The retainer will be applied toward your wedding and is non-refundable once it is received.  Retainers are required to confirm your wedding date and rate.

I found a DJ cheaper, why would I book with you?

Our passion, commitment and reputation say it all.  Just because others claim to do the same things we do; in no way can they actually duplicate the way we do them.  We have seen in the past other cheaper DJs "claim" to do the same thing we do when in reality they did nothing more than embarrass the couple and ruin the wedding.

Do we meet and plan with our actual DJ/MC?

Yes, of course.  You actually design your wedding with your DJ/MC throughout the entire planning process.  Your DJ is fully employed by Matthew Allen Weddings & Events and is not a subcontractor.  We believe that the relationship you build throughout the planning process with your DJ allows them to create an event that reflects your personality and style.

What about the music?

The music is the heartbeat of your celebration.  We promise to provide you with all the tools to create the ultimate soundtrack for your special day.  In addition to giving you an innovative online request system, we also work closely with you offering suggestions and helping you discover some fantastic selections for each element of your wedding.

Can we see you perform at a wedding?

At a wedding . . . of course not.  Your wedding is a special and private event limited to you and your guests.  However, we do welcome and invite you to attend any of our trainings such as Toastmasters or any other industry functions.  We do have video of our wedding performances in action and have many references to highlight our professionalism and style.

Are you licensed and insured?
