STEP 2 - Packages Offered

Please choose a package that best suits your needs (choose only one):
1. Wedding Reception

NOTE: The purpose of this 'Quote Generator' is to provide you with a quick "ballpark" estimate based solely upon what you input here. Due to the mechanical limitations of this online device, it is strongly suggested that you call (813-962-4653 / Toll Free: 888-908-0220) for an accurate price quote based upon your unique individual needs. This same advice should continue when encountering ANY prospective professional MC/DJ/Entertainer.

Insist upon a personal consultation.
You may find that selecting a DJ is different than selecting any other vendor for your celebration; The MC/DJ/Entertainer is responsible for making sure that your event is engaging, fun and memorable for you and your guests. Because of this, you are entitled to feel confident that this person is going to meet your expectations both professionally and personally...a kind of assurance and confidence that can only be conveyed in person.

FULL Wedding Reception Package Includes:

  • Professionally attired (Tux or Suit)

  • DJ/Entertainer/"Dance Facilitator" with over 24 years mobile wedding dj / entertainment experience to get your guests dancing

Accurate rate quotes for Wedding Service available via telephone only (813-962-4653 / Toll Free: 888-908-0220). The Wedding Entertainment that I specialize in is PERFORMANCE & PERSONALITY oriented as opposed to music-focused.

1B. Wedding Reception ''Lite''

David & Debra Kaye LITERealizing that not everyone has a need for EVERY aspect of the services that I offer, this is a radical experimental package brought on by the effects of the current economy situation we are all experiencing.

You can customize your package! Starting from my normal rate, I'll allow a deduction of $100 (up to 7 exclusions MAXIMUM) for each item listed in my Full Package  ABOVE that you can honestly say you can do without for your wedding reception.

Scroll down below to choose deductions.

2. Bar / Bat / B Nai / B Not Mitzvah

Mitzvah Oy Vey! What to do! There really isn't any 'Laid-In-Stone' criteria for ANY Simcha these days, even in the age of the "New York" style of parties with those virtual carnival midways, double video screens, and tons of dancers that would put Madonna to shame (OY! How expensive!),...

But, not every kid is gonna want all that ''shtuff''...and not every parent is going to want to follow that same tired formula. Sure, I can get you all those things (for what you would expect to pay for it all), but hey! What I've been doing all by myself with just me and my DJ system for over the past 20 years may actually be considered pretty novel these days...

So consider...My services still (and always will) include up to 4 hours performance time, basic Cocktails, Grand Introductions, Motzi, Dining, Candle Lighting Ceremony, tons of interactive dancing for everyone, Hora, Games, FULL Lights, Fog and loads of fun! Also includes UNLIMITED consultations (On-line and / or in person) along with my convenient 'Dj Intelligence' on-line planning system with my Super-Dee-Duper 20,000 Song Music Request Database.

This package comes with FULL LIGHTS & FOG EFFECTS because you KNOW the kids will love and want it!

                                  
As for those schmaltzy pimply-faced dancers and/or any other added personnel or video screens...
I can get you all that...If you want.

You decide.

2B. Mitzvah Hop4Kidz

But wait! As an economical alternative to an 'ALL OUT" conventional family Mitzvah bash with all the trimmings, some kids prefer just to have a party for themselves and their friends.

Includes basic dance area lights, unlimited consultations with on-line pre-party requests for all guests (I have ALL the latest jams, all edited for "human consumption"), tons of games and activities, and up to FOUR HOURS of non-stop fun just for the kids!

2BB. Mitzvah Hop4Kidz PLUS

HORA!But wait AGAIN (Now I feel like that guy on those late-night infomercials)! I had to create THIS package because Mitzvah Moms were looking for the "Mitzvah-Hop4Kidz" concept, but with just ONE or TWO other conventional simcha events added in...such as a Hora or an abbreviated candle lighting; an event with just a smidgen more maintenance and planning, but not quite a full-fledged family-filled Mitzvah outing.

Includes basic dance area lights/FX (Club-Style upgrade is available), unlimited consultations with on-line pre-party request system for the Mitzvah and invited guests, games / activities, and up to FOUR HOURS of non-stop fun just for the teens!

2C. Mitzvah / Hop4Kidz Combo LocomotionA popular idea these days is to appease EVERYONE; Have TWO parties...One conventional style for the whole family and friends, along with another bash sometime the same day (or near) for the Mitzvah and friends only.
Includes up to 8 hours total performance time.
3. Christmas / Holiday Party Happy Holidays! Package includes UP TO 6 HOURS PERFORMANCE TIME, unlimited pre-planning consultations (on-line and / or in person), convenient on-line planning with Music Request database using 'DJ Intelligence', set-up, break-down, cocktail hour, dinner music, basic lights, yours truly and all the exciting party events one can ever want.
