Brant, the DJ Sherpa

There are so many things to love about Brant. One of the countless is his keen ability to focus on any task and see it through to completion. He's very reliable, and there seems to be no ADD blood coursing through his veins. It's quite impressive, and watching him kick ass at everything he does (including tasks he doesn't try all that hard at) really inspires me to try harder.

So I know when I ask him to help me complete a wedding-related task, it will be done well, done quickly and done right.

He went above and beyond when I asked him to research DJ's.

After researching several DJ's, getting price quotes via email and in the mail, he settled on his recommendation: Light It Up DJs out of Manhattan, KS.

For the size of our reception space and considering it will be an early evening in July so we won't need any Fancy lights because the room will be completely sun-lit the whole time, we were able to go with the least expensive package, which is only $400!! WOO HOO! That's less than I was anticipating spending for sure. And there are no extra charges for driving to Wichita or finding songs they might not already have in their library or ANYTHING! (Brant asked.)

And this brings up another point. All vendors want a deposit right away, then they want you to pay the balance BEFORE the event (sometimes up to a month!) I think that's ridiculous. And it's even kind of anti-free market: Why would I voluntarily exchange my goods for a service that hasn't been rendered?? What's the service-provider's incentive to show up and do his/her/their best if they already have our money in hand??

Fortunately, this DJ service agreed to our terms: Paying the deposit now and the balance the night of the event.

DJ? CHECK! Thanks, Brant!!
