Editors Note: The Ciesielski wedding below, was a sub contracted job to BTA from another area company. Read on!
Hello Fox,
This is Andy Ciesielski. I meant to send you this email shortly after my wedding at the end of July, but I have forgotten until
now. I’m sorry for the delay but I wanted to share with you how I felt about your services. In short, you did an amazing job.
This was a huge relief considering the difficult time that my wife and I had with Cxxxx at XX entertainment. Between him initially
stating that he had no contract with us to do the wedding even though the check had been cashed and the repeated canceled
meetings and conference calls we were extremely frustrated. In fact, the music/DJ was the only thing that my wife was worried
about. Then Cxxxx told us that he was not even doing the wedding and that I would be contacted by you.
I was uneasy about how it appeared that he was handling his business and our wedding plans. But after I spoke with you on
the phone I was put at ease because I could tell that you were a professional. You reassured my wife and I and got us to trust
you and it really worked out. I cannot believe how successful you were about getting everyone out on the dance floor and
between your interaction and fun wedding games my wife, myself, and literally every one we talked to had a FANTASTIC TIME.
I have never been to a wedding were a majority of the guests were dancing at all times. And I am not exaggerating when I say
that everyone I talked to mentioned how fun it was and in particular, how good the DJ was. You and your assistant were
wonderful. I do not think that it would be possible to have had a better time with any other DJ. If we had to do the wedding over
again the very first thing I would do is book you as the DJ and I am very serious about that. I remember you telling me before
the wedding that all things considered the only thing that guests will really remember about a wedding is if they had fun. I
know that my wife and I and all our guests will surely remember the wedding because of how fun it was.
Thank you very much for all you did and I wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Andy Ciesielski
As an employer of more than 100 staff members, it is often difficult to coordinate corporate functions that are entertaining for
everyone. Over the years, we have tried multiple venues, using many different DJ’s and entertainers. The last two years, we
have used Fox and Frankie from BTA Entertainment. They were absolutely phenomenal. As long as they are around, I will
never need to look for a DJ again. Our group ranges in age from 21-64 years old. They kept the entire group involved for the
whole night. We actually had to pull the plug to get the crowd to leave. That’s what you call a successful party. Their fees were
very affordable and they were extremely flexible with our venue. I have coordinated events for large groups for more than 20
years and have never been more pleased, than with BTA Entertainment. If you have questions about the service I received, I
gladly welcome you to email me at aclark@cc4surgery.com. The only time I would discourage you from using BTA
Entertainment is when I need them.
Most Appreciative,

I have had the great pleasure of knowing Fox Feltman for several years. He is one of the best Entertainment Directors (DJ’s)
around! He knows how to get a crowd moving and have a good time. He is professional, punctual, and fun!
Whatever type of event you want, whatever type of music you like, he will make sure you and your guests are more than
satisfied. If you want games, special introductions, or lighting, he will create an awesome event for you. I always enjoy
working with him!
I recommend him highly, knowing he will be a beneficial asset to any event.
Please contact me if you need any more information.

To Whom It May Concern:
As the Event Sales Director/Coordinator for The Country Club of the Crystal Coast, I have the opportunity to meet and work with
many DJ’s. Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with DJ Fox Feltman at a wedding ceremony and reception.
Fox was an absolute gem to work with! He was attentive and organized and his enthusiasm and eagerness to entertain was
evidenced by the packed dance floor throughout the course of the reception. All of the wedding guests (and The Country Club
staff) were extremely impressed!
DJ Fox was a true professional from beginning to end and I highly recommend him!

Frankie,
Thanks for going the extra mile to insure Keri and Corey's wedding was AWESOME. You were compassionate and helped
like a family member. The reception was perfect. The lighting, sound interaction and music choice was excellent. We can't
say enough.
Thank you,

To whom it may concern,
The following is a reference to the confidence and abilities of Fox Feltman as an employee of BTA Entertainment and his
performance as our DJ for the Marine Corp Ball on November 20 2011. I contacted over 10 DJ’s for estimated when we initially
began our search and of all of them Fox was the most professional and had the best Military rate, this includes some DJ’s
who said they had done 100’s of USMC Balls. From there he was great about exchanging information and contracts, as well
as accepting our deposit on non working hours. He keep touching base with me at least twice a week in the weeks leading up
to the ball to confirm music choices what extra equipment we would need and any small detail we may have previously
overlooked. On the day before the ball Fox called and confirmed with the me the schedule of events and when he would be
showing up and such. The day of the ball he arrived promptly and with all the necessary equipment he would need. Our 1st
SGT had left his check in his car and wasn’t able to get it immediately, however this did not deter Fox at all as he set up quickly
and started playing music. His song choices matched the theme of the party very well and he was very instrumental in the ball
being a success due to his many games and skits which were all entertaining. He played music all the way until the end of the
ball before packing up and saying goodbye. As a member of the ball committee for next year the is no question who we will be
using. Fox was so professional, detailed oriented, and entertaining it would be ridiculous to use anyone else. I hope this letter
influences your decision because if you choose BTA Entertainment, you will not be disappointed. Feel free to contact me
(information at the bottom) if you have any other questions in this matter.
Sincerely yours,

Hi Fox!
I have to let you know how much our guests loved you! The first thing I heard from everyone was "your DJay was AMAZING!"
People were saying they'd pay a lot of money just to have you at their event.
Allow me to put it in my own words:
Quite simply, you are an amazing DJay. I have been to many weddings and other events with DJays and there has never been
anything to set any of the them apart. I can promise you that not one person left my wedding that without remembering how
GREAT my DJay was. The first thing I heard from each guest was "Your DJay was the best I have EVER seen!" You literally
took an empty dance floor and got every single person in the room, including my grandmother on the dance floor with their
hands in the air! I've never seen that happen before! We had a wonderful time and you made the night SO much fun! Anyone
would be so LUCKY to have you at their event! Thank you so much for making our day so special and a night that we will truly
never forget!
If you ever need a reference, please feel free to allow people to contact me. I would more than happy to let them know that if
they don't choose you they are missing out!
Please add me on Facebook as well!
Thank you so much again Fox,
Megan Wickersham

Fox,
As a wedding photographer I have heard a lot of DJ’s, but I was blown away by the response you got from the crowd of about
100 at the Gill Wedding. There were guests literally standing in their seats twirling cloth napkins from their tables. You had
everyone out of their seats and on the dance floor from song 1, and that set the pace for the whole night because the party
never stopped! You really made my job easy as a photographer capturing all of the excitement. I now know what a really great
DJ is supposed to do. I have photos to prove it!

To whom it may Concern,
I had the privilege of working with BTA Entertainment (Fox and Frankie) as our DJ entertainers for our Marine Corps Birthday
Ball celebration on November 9th 2011. Fox was extremely professional through the entire process of setting up the event.
They were set up well before the event started and was ready to go when we needed him. Fox has some very innovative ways
to get the audience involved and make the night very enjoyable for everyone. He created a great atmosphere during the entire
event and played a great variety of music that all enjoyed. I would recommend Fox, Frankie and BTA Entertainment for any
event that needs a DJ Entertainer, and plan on using BTA to DJ our Marine Corps Birthday ball again this year. He will
definitely make your event better than you had expected.
Sincerely,
William Fishback
I have worked several events with Fox, and I have always found him to be professional, engaging and fun.
From wedding receptions to private parties, Fox provides an event specific soundtrack for those special moments worth
celebrating. I would recommend Fox to anyone looking for a dynamic, upbeat musical addition to their event.

Frankie,
I Just wanted to tell you what a wonderful job you did at Kelly and Travis' wedding this past Saturday. You were amazing. The
way you worked the crowd and got so many guests involved. I also very much appreciated how you went out of your way to
help check on the guests, even serving tea, water and keeping an eye on the buffet. I can tell you love what you do and i am so
glad we had you at the reception. Best of luck to you!!!

Fox, I’ve been to over 25 Marine Corps Ball’s in my husband’s career, and never have I seen a DJ put people on the dance
floor like you did. I was shocked! What was more amazing is how you got folks up right after the ceremony! The gimmicks
were great, entertaining, but most importantly, worked as everyone had a great time. Thanks again for a fabulous job…..and I
hope you’re the DJ at my ball next year!

Fox,
I want to thank you again for the great job you did at my Daughter and Son In Law’s wedding reception (Megan and John). You
have this entertainment thing down to an art. You are able to get everyone, young and old alike, up and away from the tables in
the first 5 minutes. And then the evening just kept getting better. Everyone enjoyed it and are still talking about the good time
they had at the reception. Thank you so much.

Dear Fox:
Larissa and I just wanted to say thank you for being the DJ Entertainer at our wedding this past Aug. We really enjoyed your
services and feel like all of our guests did also. We really enjoyed the interaction, line dances, the game that you played with
us and the excitement you brought. We thought it really livened up the crowd. Having people feel comfortable so they could
dance was one of the most important things to have at our wedding and we feel like you made that happen. Everyone enjoyed
the music you selected and we appreciate you being open for request. The wedding reception was a huge success and we
owe a major part of that to you and we would like to say thank you so much! We will be recommending your services to all of
our friends and family for any of their music entertainment needs.
Thanks again,
Drew & Larissa Tripp

Frankie,
You did a fantastic job DJ'ing for Kelly's wedding. I am not sure where you get all that energy but you got everyone hyped and
motivated. I for one was very impressed. I would like to call your boss to let him/her know what a great job you did. Who and
how do i get a hold of this person.
Thanks Again,
Dave Clairmont
Fox was the DJ at my wedding in July and I have to say he is by far the best! I have been to plenty of weddings and the one
thing I always focused on was the music. Before Fox, I thought a DJ just played songs that you liked, but he did so much more.
We had about 400 friends and family attend and he got every single one of them on the dance floor! Even some 80 year old
Baptist ladies (which should say it all). My husband and I were highly impressed with not only the music, but the atmosphere
he created for our reception. He kept people on the dance floor all night. After the reception, we had tons of requests from
guests who wanted to know his name for future events. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a memorable
event.

entertainment... Apparently its a rare thing that the DJ entertains like you did!! Anyways, thought you'd like to know. I hope you
and your family are doing good!!!

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.
