The Wedding Entertainment Experience
Music Source is the Top Rated Wedding DJ on Google in Central Illinois because we will act not only as your Disc Jockey, but also as your Master of Ceremonies as well as your Reception Director.
With Music Source you get over 31 years of reception planning experience and paid professional training. You’ll receive our exclusive four-page reception planner, complete pre-planning support and on-site day of coordination with you, your wedding party and all other vendors and service personnel working your reception.
The Platinum Package starts at only $1500 for 5 hours of the Ultimate Wedding Entertainment Experience.
It is not the goal of Music Source to be the cheapest DJ out there, as it takes nothing to compete on price. Our goal is to exceed your expectations and create a memorable experience for you and your guests.
According to https://wedding.report/, in 2023 the average total cost of a wedding in Sangamon County was $29,836. One should set aside at least 10% of one’s total budget for the DJ/MC/Coordinator as 81% of your guests will remember this one aspect of your reception more than anything else. They also say expect to spend more if the DJ is bringing additional equipment, providing additional services or is a seasoned professional who is in-demand.

LIGHTING & EFFECTS:
UPLIGHTING ~ Add a splash of color and excitement to your event with L.E.D. uplighting. Light up a wall, column, table, you name it. Use a few or use a lot to transform your room and create the atmosphere and the emotions that set the tone.
Thanks to the latest technology available in ‘hex’ L.E.D. lighting, they use very little power, do not get hot so they are safe for children to be around, yet are powerful enough for high ceilings and bright rooms. You can choose from thousands of colors to match your decor since our lights are not tri-color that are just red-green-blue, but sixth generation hex color: Red-Green-Blue-Amber-White+UV. Great to get the pastel colors, the autumn tones or to add pop to your color with the added UV.
WHATEVER YOU WANT, WHEN YOU WANT IT AND WHEREVER YOU WANT IT!
These lights are battery powered with wireless controls so we can put them almost anywhere for maximum effect. We can do static colors, change colors, do fades, make them strobe or be sound activated to dance to the music… all at No Extra Charge!
While many folks will tell you that they do uplighting, not many are doing it correctly. Many are still using second generation LED lights. Most are not good about getting the right color or getting them positioned properly. But here at Music Source we will dial in the perfect color for you and properly position them in your room for maximum effect. And if you prefer more of a wash effect we’ll add light shaping filters to the lights to spread the beams wide and paint the walls at no additional charge.
Pricing is as follows…
* $100 for just behind the head table only
* $250 for one small to medium size room
* $500 for one large or two small to medium size rooms
MONOGRAM LIGHT ~ Your name, date, initials or company logo projected on the dance floor, wall or ceiling the new way, using a video projector and computer with a software specific program. This allows us to add color(s), motion and/or shoot from odd angles and still have it look normal. Your choice of style and colors. Static or with motion only $250.
SPOT LIGHT ~ Great for a dramatic theatrical entrance when used as a follow-spot. Choose from one of eight colors to light your way as you are introduced into the room. Also great to spotlight the ‘First Dance’ or be used during toasting or to spotlight the cake or any other events that need the extra focus that only a spot light can provide. $100.

BIG DANCE FLOOR LIGHT SHOW ~ Go BIG and get an extra dance floor lighting in addition to what you get with the our standard set up for a mere $300 more. The BIG Dance Floor Light Show is valued at over $5,000. A great bang for your buck as while the light show that comes with our standard set up is above average when compared to most DJ’s, the BIG Dance Floor Light Show looks HUGE compared to their tiny set ups. Operated by the DJ Assistant / Lighting Technician it’s always in sync with the music. Just because we have a lot of dance floor lighting doesn’t mean that we turn them all on and leave them on the whole night. We change it up regularly throughout each song and make sure it’s appropriate for the song.
CONFETTI LAUNCHER ~ Great for either the Introduction or the Grand Finale. No CO2 nor compressed air. Confetti is 1 x2 inch shiny metallic strips for easy clean up. Have a Funfetti time at your event for only $100. (Subject to venue approval!)
BUBBLES ~ Enjoy a flowing cascade of bubbles over the dance floor during slow dances for $75 (does ‘not‘ make the dance floor slick).
FOG ~ Fog, Smoke or Haze, call it what you like the bottom line is it really enhances the light show. So long as the room does not have smoke detectors but a sprinkler system, we can use it for just $75.
BLACK LIGHT GLOW PARTY ~ Go for the glow without much dough! $200 gets you 8 L.E.D. black lights mounted on tripods for maximum coverage. Includes 6 Chauvet Shadow LED black light wash panels & 2 American DJ Par 64 LED UV black light par cans.
AUDIO & VIDEO:
SURROUND SOUND / REMOTE POWERED SPEAKERS WITH WIRELESS RECEIVERS ~ Surround Sound Remote Speakers is an enhancement to the main system.

Also ideal for second rooms, patios, and other challenging venues. Just $250 more for 2-4 speakers.
SECOND SOUND SETUP ~ Second Set-Up at Same Venue requiring speakers, mixer and microphone(s). $300 ex: dinner in another room with announcements/formalities ex: cocktail hour with formalities
