You can buy a good quality speaker that comes with free Amazon music at best buy for less than that. If you have a friend that doesn't mind talking on a mic infrastructure of a crowd you are probably better off without a real dj, your friend would also likely get the names right for your wedding party being announced.

We paid over 1k for dj+wedding video, and it really wasn't worth it.

I didn't have a DJ the first time around, just a laptop and Spotify playlist (was at a church that has a speaker system, so we got to hook into that). It was fine, but we booked an actual venue for this wedding.

No idea if I'll feel like it was really worth it when it's all said and done, but so far I actually like all the vendors picked.

Hey, we just got married for around your price point back in May. It was pricey for sure, but that budget allowed us to do what we wanted, which was throwing a balls-out party for 50 of our closest family and friends. It was incredible and we absolutely do not regret it.

People always tell you that it's supposed to be the best day of your life, but I always checked my expectations on that—something can always go wrong, right? But it went off perfectly and felt as incredible as we had always dreamed. A big part of that was the team of amazing vendors our planner put together. None of it would have been possible without them.

Wishing you both incredible happiness and a smooth wedding day full of bliss that you can look back on for years to come :)
