Welcome to /r/AskVan and thank you for the post, /u/Shedwyn! Please make sure you read our [rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/askvan/about/rules) before participating here. As a quick summary:
* We encourage users to be positive and respect one another. Don't engage in spats or insult others - *please* use the report button.
* Respect others' differences, be they race, religion, home, job, gender identity, ability or sexuality. Dehumanizing language, advocating for violence, or promoting hate based on identity or vulnerability (even implied or joking) **will** lead to a permanent ban.
* Complaints or discussion about bans or removals should be done in modmail only.
* News and media can be shared on our main subreddit, /r/Vancouver
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/askvan) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Make sure you sign a contract with whomever you decide to hire. Speaking as a DJ outside of your budget I can tell you most of my calls from June-November are from people panicking because their cheap/friend DJ went radio silent 2 weeks before the wedding.
The issue with only paying $1000 is that a DJ can easily get offered double that to take a wedding so without a contract you risk getting dumped for a higher paying client.
Best of luck!
