Fred and his wife, Nancy, were very accommodating and helpful in guiding me toward the final selection and format of these songs. Fred is very knowledgeable regarding the history of rock & roll, and can share many interesting facts of hit tunes and lessen known oldies. I would not hesitate to recommend Fred and would love to work with him again.

Fred,
Finally a full-worded Thank You! Guess I was waiting 'till Christmas this year, but I hadn't forgotten! My Christmas newsletter this year stated that " Jane worked on party preparations for her birthday celebration of a 50's DJ Dance party" I Worded it in my paragraph : "A highlight was Jane's 50th Birthday party: wearing saddle shoes & dancing to 50's music by a DJ, joyfully shared with friends & family!!!" I really did appreciate your patience in my date selection and working with me. I also enjoyed you relating to my guests by asking trivia questions and making the 50's theme fun in "word" and "deed"= dancing. It was nice for your wife, Nancy, to be involved and for her help. Thanks again for all do and I'm so pleased that I had you DJ for my "Oldies but Goodies" Birthday party celebration! I give you permission to use my comments of appreciation for your web site.
God Bless you & Merry Christmas, Mrs. Jane Jassmond
Comments from the Hull High School 50th Reunion
“You were great! I loved the trivia!” “The music was perfect for dinner and dancing.” “Our class is celebrating our 50th next year, and we want you for our reunion too.” “How did you get all that information about the top records and what was going on in the world when we were still in school? It really brought back a lot of fond memories.” “We appreciated your assistance in planning the evening’s events and being flexible as the night progressed.” “We had a terrific time. Thank you so very much!”
Thank you so much, EVERYBODY had a great time! You are so accommodating and had some great ideas about planning the party, thank you!

Fred did a wonderful job doing the MC/Music/Trivia at our home. All of our guests enjoyed the show. He was professional , fun and entertaining. Having him at our party made it easy for us to enjoy time with our guests. We happily recommend Fred and Those Oldies but Goodies to anyone considering hiring him. Thank you Fred! Lisa and George Tuccelli
“Fred creates such a fun and lively event. All my friends had a great time listening to the Oldies, dancing to the slow and romantic songs, and twisting and strolling. It brought back lots of great memories. As one of my friends said, ‘Just listening to this music puts me in a good mood.’ I received a lot of compliments, and we had a special time too. Once the party started, it was all in Fred’s hands. We had very little to do except dance, eat, and socialize with our guests."

Wedding DJ Costs
Wedding DJ pricing. So, how much does a wedding DJ cost?
You pretty much have most of the vendors chosen for your wedding, but now onto the wedding DJ pricing. So how much does a wedding DJ cost? You will see many different wedding DJ prices. So, keep these points in mind and you will find the right one.
Cheap Wedding DJ Prices These prices will usually be in the ranges of $75 per hour or less. Many of these wedding DJ’s are part-time hobbyists. They might have no idea how to coordinate and deliver what you want at your wedding. Just call these companies and you will notice a huge difference with their customer service skills. This might be a risky deal because they might show up with low grade equipment (if they even show up at all). There is a possibility that you can spend $200-$400 on your wedding DJ and be happy, but you have to understand what cheap wedding DJ prices really mean.
At 800DJ, our recommendation: Never hire a wedding DJ that costs less than your veggie tray
Average Wedding DJ Pricing So, your biggest criteria were your budget, and you went way overboard. So, instead you and your fiancé decided to hire someone to “Just Play Music.” Do you want the good news or bad news first? Okay straight to the good news, you just saved a couple of hundred bucks! Unfortunately, your decision might cost you much more down the road. This category of wedding DJ’s is priced all over the place. Usually many are larger wedding DJ companies that subcontract 15-25 wedding DJ’s every weekend. They improve their profit margin this way (more DJ’s=smaller profit margin) to support advertisements and overhead. There are many good DJ’s that are subcontracted by these companies. However, they might be so big that you might not even know who your wedding DJ will be until the week of.
I said earlier that there is a difference between a full-time company and part-time hobbyist. A full-time company depends on your referrals to generate future leads and business. This means that they are 110% dedicated to your wedding reception. The wedding DJ cost needs be looked at with their references. Ask for recent clients’ names, phone numbers, and e-mails. When I say recent I mean 6 months or less when available. Any reputable company will be able to give you this information.
At 800DJ, our recommendation: Let the buyer beware
Expensive Wedding DJ Prices These people may charge anywhere from $1500-$4500. There may be added value, such as an additional DJ/wedding coordinator, lighting, staging, dancers, or props. Other times, this price is determined by an owner with an over inflated ego. If their wedding DJ cost is expensive, then this does not mean that they have instant credibility. This price might be marked up since they do not have enough word of mouth referrals yet. You should not have to take out a second mortgage to pay for your wedding DJ cost.
At 800DJ, our recommendation: Get everything in writing, and question anything that might be overkill
How Much Does a Wedding DJ Cost So, how much does a wedding DJ cost? This depends on how comfortable you are with the lighting, experience, equipment, music, and fun options. You should try unique things because your wedding is far from ordinary. This does not mean you need to break the bank with wedding DJ prices, but see what options are really worth the cost. The typical wedding DJ cost can vary from $450-$1200, and be dependant upon the amount of time your event is and miles of travel for the DJ. In the short term the wedding DJ price will be a factor in your budget, and in the long term 80% of the success of your wedding is based on the entertainment. If you want to have a great time, you will interview multiple companies.
At 800DJ, our recommendation: Stay away from the cheapest, don’t go with the most expensive and do not hire anyone that is simply average.
To choose a DJ for your reception day requires a great amount of time and dedication. your reception DJ should have songs for all kinds of people to make them happy and enjoy your reception.
Sometimes it may be difficult to judge the mood of the audience as there are different types of people at every party. Keep the latest music with you and listen to all kinds of radio stations to get a wide range of music.
