Maine beat mixing disc jockey, Danny DeBruin believes the art of "music mixing"  is the major difference between the new school DJ VS the old school dj.   

Since the early-90's, it's been much easier for new DJ's to learn how to beat mix.  This is because most of today's dance tracks have long intros, breaks, and outros with perfectly-synched computer generated beats (i.e., no live drummer). In addition, the increasing availability of DJ equipment at lower prices has made it easier for newcomers to get started.

Disc Jockey rates vary based on talent, experience, emcee ability, service, coordination, equipment needed, music knowledge, mixing ability and personality.

Rates for the DJ industry vary greatly, ranging from $350.00 to over $5,000.00 with an average of $1,200.00 for a 4 hour booking. The best price is not always the best deal, especially if you are planning a wedding. As a matter of fact, surveys conclude that nearly 100% of brides would have spent more money on their entertainment and made it their #1 priority in hindsight.

A full-service disc jockey company will normally invest 12 to 20 hours to your special event but it may appear that you are only paying for "4 hours". Consultations, music purchasing & editing, preparation, set-up and tear-down, education and other business related endeavors add up to the overall success of your special occasion. 

Booking a DJ isn’t something that we do everyday and we have all been to an event where a poor disc jockey has ruined the atmosphere of the party.  The entertainment industry is now flooded with inexperienced DJ exhibitionists, who roll in two speakers with an Ipod and call themselves a ”Professional DJ”.  To help protect you from these culprits, DeBruin Entertainment offers a free personal consultation to ensure we are the right service for your entertainment needs.  We understand how important your Wedding Day is and we will do all we can to make it PERFECT.

Throughout his eight years as a professional entertainer, Maine Wedding DJ Danny DeBruin has benefited from networking within the the DJ industry.  

By visiting the convention exhibit halls, mobile disc jockeys have the unique opportunity to see, hear, experience, and discuss the offerings of hundreds of vendors, all in one place.  Trade shows also provide an opportunity for you to tell vendors your needs, opinions, and experiences.  Your input can result in products and services that better meet the needs of our profession.  

Training seminars and workshops offer wonderful learning opportunities.  Vendor-sponsored parties provide a refreshing social outlet free of selling pressures.  Special parties and social events are a great way to meet and speak with peers under casual, enjoyable conditions. 

Although the life of a disc jockey serves for many as an independent profession, it is critical to know that you can always learn from others within the DJ industry.  Showing up for these fun and action-packed events is essential for DJ's who want to keep on top of the rapid changes that continually shape the the scope of our business.
