ProfessionalDJ's (Michigan) comment was spot-on. Yes, I realize the article is providing enough information to be a DIY discjockey. Here's the problem: Purchasing the equipment listed will cost far more than hiring a professional DJ. Plus, an experienced DJ will not only be able to accommodate the wedding party with their requests, but will have and know the songs that guests want to hear. ...songs that are often over-looked in the planning stages.
A couple will spend money on a professional photographer, church, hall, catering, flowers and apparel. Why skimp on the entertainment? It is akin to B&H marketing professional cameras to amateur photographers, then relying on the amateurs to take the same quality photos that are supposed to last a lifetime. Please, B&H, don't undercut the businesses of professional photographers and DJs that are your regular customers by giving the false hope that DIY'ers will produce comparable results.
