Pricing:
Or prices are set per event, not by the hour. The time for preparing gear, pulling music, creating custom playlists, loading gear into vehicles, setting up, tearing down, reloading the vehicles, then putting the gear back in storage, and taking care of all the paperwork in between takes the same amount of time whether we are at your event, for 1 hour or 10 hours. When you hire us, the entire day, and sometimes multiple days are dedicated towards your event. For that reason, our prices are based on the type of event, equipment we bring, the number of employees involved, travel, and lodging (if needed) – not the number of hours of the event. For that reason a simple backyard party, and a wedding will have different pricing, even if the event is for the same number of hours.
Please Note! The pricing on this website are to give a general idea of pricing. Almost every setup we do is customized to the event and our clients needs. Things may be removed, or added, to the items/ packages shown on this website. The price may go up or down slightly depending on the event.
Discounts:
We realize not everyone has the same kinds of budgets, and the purpose of some events is to raise money. For this reason we do have discounts and payment plans available FOR SOME TYPES OF EVENTS. Generally discounts involve the client providing workers to help with load in and load out in exchange for a refund after the event. Dazer Entertainment reserves the right to decide which events can be discounted, and which ones can not.
Service:
Whether you just need a simple backyard setup, or you are going all out setting up a nightclub like environment – we give you the same high level of service. We are here to help you with planning, scheduling, layout, decorations, finding caterers, helping with announcements, special music remixes, extra rentals, and event coordination (if you don’t have a coordinator), at no extra cost. We are here for you to make your event special.
Free Rentals:
We also have a large assortment of rentable items such as tables, table cloths, artificial flowers, tulle, vases, mirrors, etc that are available for our clients to use for free for every kind of setup except the tailgater. We do this to help clients save some money, to make things more affordable.
Location:
We are based out of Springfield, OR, however we do service all of Oregon, and even do events in Washington, Idaho, and California. The prices in the examples cover the cost of a setup, and services. The prices do not cover the cost of travel / lodging. Generally, you can expect to pay a minimum of $1 / mile for any events outside of the greater Eugene/Springfield area. Any location over 1.5 hours travel, you can expect to also pay a lodging fee for 1 night. Areas over 2 hours travel, may have a fee to cover 2 nights of lodging. Lodging fees are usually around $120 depending on what is available in the area. Also, for extra large setups, we may have a larger crew, and we generally book 2 people to a room.
DJ STYLE:
The style of music depends on what is appropriate, and what you ask us to do. During cocktail hour and dinner setups we tend to use a radio mixing style. Radio mixing style is where one song fades out and stops then the next song starts. When the music is for dancing however, we switch over to club style music where one song blends into the next and the music never stops. Our main DJ, is DJ Lazer Dave – however we have several DJs from the Eugene and Portland area that we utilize for events ensuring that we utilize the best DJ for the style of dance and music at the event. All of our DJs have both club and music festival experience. We actually sponsor and or are involved in multiple events every year for multiple genres of music including Hip Hop, House / EDM, KPOP, Latino(Pop, Cumbia, Salsa, Mariachi, Reggaeton, Tejano, etc), as well as standard Rock/Pop/Country and more. If your doing an event that requires specialized music for your culture, we have no problems working with you to put together a playlist for the evening that will help ensure a successful event.
Need a Photobooth for your event? We have you covered, whether you want a simple table booth where guests can leave a signature photo for you, to a full blown photo booth with backdrop and props, to our Deluxe Photo Studio with an actual photographer that takes studio quality photos and a second person runs a printing station where photos are cleaned up and guests given a choice of printing options – to our new Green screen photo studio, where a green screen is used to create magical photos of your guests doing anything from feeding a dinosaur to flying on a magic carpet! Your imagination is the limit…
David Roman – DJ Lazer Dave
All of my life, back as far as my memory can recall my family has been very musical, and active in entertaining others both privately and publicly. Entertaining is in my blood…
By profession, I am an electronics engineer; but at heart, I’m an entertainer. Missing the fun of my youth – I got into Laser Tag and started up the company 1 Source Laser Tag with my wife (thus the label “Lazer Dave” ). Wanting to expand our Laser Tag hosting service, we purchased a professional sound system.
I started having more fun running the music, then I did the Lazer Tag Arena, and hired others to run the arena so I could just have fun with the music. At a large Laser Tag event, one of our patrons came up to the booth and wanted to know if he could just hire me as just a DJ, stating that they were impressed with the music presentation that I was giving…and thus DJ Lazer Dave was born…
I quickly realized that I enjoyed DJing to the point that the Lazer Tag went to the side and DJing and eventually helping throw awesome parties became my true passion.
Having experienced some of the awesome DJ’s in the 80’s in the DFW and Denver area, as well as being musically and entertainment inclined, – I wasn’t satisfied with just playing music. My previous inspirations drove me to take things to a higher level and I started looking into how to be a better DJ, to give my performances a more professional feel in both our music mixes and our light shows.
Since that time we have expanded our sound, lighting , FX Effects, Decorations and other equipment, as well as our music library. I started seriously studying and practicing the art of being a DJ. I’ve now taken and continue to take multiple classes, courses, not on just DJing, but on entertaining for many different types of events and cultures. Over the past 10 years we have successfully had the honor and pleasure of helping well over 100 couples/clients with their weddings & many other kinds of events.
All this experience has made me realize that with today’s technologies, and available tools, most people could be a DJ and not do too bad of a job at it. Just playing music no longer is enough for today’s DJ service. So, we have trained and studied into becoming experts at party planning, coordinating, and decorating on top of the DJing and MC skills. At an event, we don’t hide behind the DJ console…we like to get out in the crowd, interact, and ensure everyone is having a good time. This requires staying on top of the latest trends and styles, while staying connected with all the tried and true tracks, dances, and cultural traditions. I do my best to provide this to our customers.
Cathie Roman
Besides being Dave’s wife, Cathie has worked for decades as an Activities Coordinator, and has studied in special event decor, event coordination, and photography. She too brings her knowledge, experience, skills and sparkling personality as Dave’s business partner to our customers needs.
Having worked at multiple events with Dave where the customers could not afford a professional photographer, Cathie decided to get back to one of her earlier passions – photography.
Cathie has taken multiple classes and has volunteered to take photos at most of the events we do as a free bonus, Cathie is well on her way to becoming a professional photographer on top of all the other wonderful skills she provides. At this point in many cases we are still offering her photography services as a bonus to hiring us.
All of this Cathie and I bring to our customers….
