Value Pricing
"Price is what you pay. Value is what you get."
~Warren Buffett

 "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."
~ Buddha

"To see the smile on your face, knowing that your wedding reception went just the way we planned it; That is the value for me."
~Johnny Only

"It's a Privilege being a wedding MC/DJ. It's my passion; a labor of love."
~Johnny Only


"...And what is it to work with love?
It is to weave the cloth with threads
drawn from your heart"
~Kahlil Gibran

What is my value to you?

If you wish to receive your customized price quote, I have provided this handy form  for your convenience. For most types of events, it will ask you all that I need to know in order to give you a price quote and the form will only take you a moment to fill out. It will e-mail me when you press "submit" and I will e-mail you back or call you at your convenience, whichever you prefer. Click here to fill out the form and receive your price. If you simply want to get an idea of what my pricing rationale is, read below.

Fees depend upon how much work I have to do. Here is an example: If your reception is in the Riverside Room of the Binghamton Regency, it takes a lot more labor to get into that room than it does to get into the Ballroom at the very same Binghamton Regency. (I'm referring to how much time and effort it takes to get my equipment set up in the room.) Therefore, the same type of event, in the same building, at the same time of day, will cost more in the Riverside Room then it would in the Ballroom.

There is also an "in-season" vs. "out-of-season" component. Winter time is cheaper than summertime because there is less demand for my services during the winter. For the same reason, Friday night is cheaper than Saturday night.

Another component in the price is how much time I spend to customize music and activities for the event before it even happens. For example: With weddings, I set up all of the special music and events so that it reflects your unique taste for fun and romance. With Bar/Bat Mitzvah receptions, I do that too, but on top of that I bring in games and activities for the kids. Contrast all that with a simple holiday party where I just show up with no preparation needed at all. Surely the price should be different for each of these types of events.

So, you are just looking for a ball park price? Prices range from $100.00 per hour (for an easy access hall, with no preparation needed and a Friday night or Saturday out of season) to $200.00 per hour (Saturday, in season, all the bells and whistles, plus a highly choreographed event style). Prices tend to be even less than $100 per hour when it is a non-holiday mid-week event.

To get your price, call 607-427-6659. If it is the middle of the night, send me an E-mail with your phone number (or use this handy form) and I will call you back at your convenience. (Let me know what time your convenience is.)

Thanks,
