Des Moines DJ Do It Yourself Systems vs. a Mobile DJ Service
So, you are planning a wedding, party, or special event and are searching for some great entertainment to keep your guests entertained. Maybe you've looked in to full service DJs and found that their prices just don't fit in to your budget. Or, maybe you're planning a smaller event and just don't feel the need to hire a full-service DJ. Whatever the case, at Des Moines DJ we have the perfect solution--our professional and simple DIY DJ systems! At a fraction of what a standard DJ service would charge, our outstanding $199 DIY DJ package comes complete with some great features such as a professional DJ audio system, a wired microphone, over 11,000 songs on our included iPod, and outstanding DJ created playlists.
At Des Moines DJ we've worked hard to make our DIY systems much easier to setup and more user-friendly to operate than the traditional equipment rentals (or home systems). However, many customers wonder if the do it yourself approach is really the right choice for their event, or if they should go with a traditional DJ service instead. Although we cannot always answer that question for you, we can give you a few guidelines when deciding which option to choose. After all, we want your event to be a success whether you choose DIY or a DJ. Just look over a few of the most common concerns below in order to get a good idea of which service may work best for you...
Common Concerns & Questions

I'm on a very tight budget and would rather not spend much money on entertainment.
We offer our DIY systems starting at only $199 where most DJ services will start at no less than $400.
I need someone to do introductions and/or announcements throughout the evening.
We do include a wired microphone, but you would have to handle any announcements yourself.
I may need music for a long period of time and don't want to have to pay per hour.
We include a full 24 hour rental period so you have the freedom to keep the music going all night. Although some DJ services offer unlimited time, those packages are usually quite expensive.
I would like someone that can play to my crowd and keep my guests dancing all night long.
With our DIY systems you are in complete control of the music, we only provide the equipment, songs, and playlists. What you choose to play is what will determine how your guests react.
I am having a small, intimate event and just want some music for a group of my friends.
Although either DIY or a DJ may suit your needs, you may want to look at some other factors such as how much you are looking to spend.
My event is going to be held in a large venue and/or I am having a large number of guests.
Although our DIY systems consist of high-end sound equipment, we do recommend that our systems be used for small to medium sized events for optimal quality.
I have my own music my computer and/or iPod and just need sound equipment for my event.
Our DIY systems feature an input to use your own computer, iPod, or MP3 player if you choose.
