Riu Club Resort, Negril - DJ and Sound system Feb 2011

[Lance]

Hi Folks,

 

My Fi and I are getting married at the Club Riu Negril on Feb 12, 2011.

We have booked a private dinner on the beach and want a sound system for music and speeches but the resort is telling us it costs $250 per hour.

The first dance is one of the most important parts for me, but paying $250 for the sound system is a bit much.

The rental fee is the same cost with or without the DJ, as the DJ has to be there to supervise the equipment.

I'd love any suggestions or alternatives, or even some thoughts on if the $250 per/hour is worth it.

At that price we might as well us the DJ, but how do we know he will play the music we like?

 

Any other info on the private beach dinner would be great too.

 

Thanks in advance - this is my very first posting!

Hi Lance,.

My name is Monique and I had my wedding in Jamaica @ Sunset Beach Resort in June and we found a great DJ, he provides the equipment and he plays as well his name is Kevan Stewart he was referred by a friend of mine who had her wedding at Bellfield in Montego Bay. When I saw her wedding video and saw how much her guests enjoyed themselves I had to call him and the good thing is he's more affordable than the hotel's inhouse dj and his rate is $150 per hour. Check his website www.jaweddingdj.com, I sent a quote request there and he called me back I toold him what I was expecting, when I got to Jamaica we also had a meeting to go over my playlist and MAN! on my wedding day he delivered Dwight was so impressed he had to go over and shake his hand after the party, my friends are still talking about it. He also has a page on FB, and his number is 1876.842.1908. Can't hurt to give hm a call or go on the website and explain what you are looking for. Good Luck with your wedding too!
