Rates start out as low as $495.00 and go up depending on location, day, times and equipment required.
For example, 99% of Wedding Receptions are held on Saturdays, therefore, we can do a Friday cheaper!
Also, sometimes the venue is very small and doesn't require as much equipment or lighting.
 
Our STANDARD rate is $795.00 and is all inclusive. We arrive at your venue about 1 1/2 - 2 hours prior to your guests arriving and set everything up and do sound and light checks. We play cocktail hour music of your choice as people flow in until the dinner starts. Then we typically soften it up with some nice dinner music. Once the dinner is over, the cake has been cut and the toasts have been given, we normally pick it up a bit to get people excited for the dance as the venue staff clears tables and prepares the dance floor. When everything is all set, we turn down the lights and invite the Bride and Groom to the dance floor for their first dance as Husband and Wife. After that we do the other traditional dances of your choice like the Father/Daughter dance etc. Then, we get the party started! We play until midnight or 1 AM depending on your agreement with the venue. Additional time can be negotiated if the venue allows and your guests are demanding it!

What do we charge extra for?
We charge $100.00 extra to do the ceremony music as it usually requires more time and equipment.
We charge $50.00 extra to include Karaoke.
We charge extra for receptions beyond 30 miles of Brainerd/Baxter. (rate depends on how far)
We charge extra for playing past 1 AM. (negotiable at the time)

Will you receive a written contract?
Yes. Every client that engages Alpha Entertainment to perform at their function will receive a written contract that details all the issues pertaining to the event. If a DJ will not give you a written contract, then you are best off to keep looking. A contract protects both parties. Always get a contract!

Do you have to pay for set up or tear down?
No, we do not charge you for set up and tear down. With our prices there are no hidden costs.

Do we require a deposit?
We ask for a $200 non-refundable deposit to reserve your selected date. The deposit amount will be subtracted from the total cost of your event.

What is our policy on "holding" dates for someone?
Our policy is very simple and fair to both parties. All dates are on a first come first served basis. If you call or email us about a particular date and it is open, that's great! Once we agree on a fee and we send you a "written" price quote, that date is reserved for you for a period of 7 days. If we do not receive your deposit and signed agreement within the 7 days, the date once again becomes available to the next person that may want it. If we DO receive your deposit and signed agreement by the deadline, then the date is all yours and you don't have to worry about the entertainment any longer!
