Description
Specializing in wedding ceremonies and receptions. Offering 10% discounts when adding ambient lighting.
Sometimes you just need someone to play music, and sometimes you want the very best.
What is quality and professionalism worth? I am more than just a DJ. I give personal attention to my clients to make sure your once in a life time reception, or party, is what you want it to be. I will be the DJ at your wedding, the one talking to you on the phone about your reception, e-mailing you about details and songlist, or meeting you in person.
Getting a DJ for a junior high dance is different than looking for someone for your ceremony/reception. Realize when you are hiring a DJ for a reception, you could say you are inviting them to your event to meet your immediate family and closest friends. Besides being a personality you also want them to be a great entertainer, reading your crowd, knowing how to get the dancing going, and keeping the flow of the reception.
You will find my price is a little higher than some DJs by several hundred dollars on many sites, and lower than others. What is your time worth? With experience, my time is worth more, and my customers agree. You need to question the lowest priced DJ in what kind of equipment he/she has. Will it work on the day of your wedding or special event, or has the DJ cut corners on quality? You also need to question whether you are hiring a contracted DJ or the owner.
Pricing is based on many different variables; such as, quality, appearance, availability, professionalism, variety, experience, reputation, time, quality equipment, and customer service. I believe my price is average for a reception starting at around $795-$895 for a local four hour reception going up to $1000-$1500 based upon number of hours, season, availability, and distance to travel.
When you book me, I will spend time preparing, meeting with you, planning the reception activities, and being there two hours early to set up, and an hour later to break down. Mr. Thrill spends minimum eight hours on the day of the reception, and six to twelve hours in preparation for your event, along with providing DJ equipment, literally thousands of dollars worth of equipment,cordless mics, and years of experience which all leads to a wonderful reception.
I do purchase my music legally. I carry DJ liability insurance. I dress professionally for each event, usually in full tux for a reception; whatever is appropriate for each event.
At additional cost I also provide uplighting and infocus projector and screen for slide shows, at extra cost.
If you are looking for one of the best DJ/MC/Entertainers for your most special wedding day or private party at a reasonable price under a $1000, then you are at the right place. Some people are willing to pay less for one of the most important parts of the wedding or party, the music and entertainment. Over and over again, people remember quality entertainment, and most times quality costs a little more.
I use top quality equipment; powered Mackie 450s with JBL subs, Shure microphones, LED lights. I've learned that it pays to buy the best equipment as it lasts longer, the sound quality is better, along with giving my clients superior equipment. At every event I have back up equipment for the unforeseen, along with a back up DJ.
Ask any recent bride, and they will tell you how important and integral a part the DJ is to a wedding reception.
Mr. Thrill will only give you top notch customer service, and do everything to make your event as special, entertaining, and smooth as possible.
"We had our wedding at Texas Old Town in Kyle. I was nervous about the event as I had over 300 people. I wanted to make sure every detail was ready. Bill met with us a few months before the date. Through e-mail and phone calls we discussed the different events of the reception. On the Monday before our reception Bill over the details, names, questions about songs, special dances, etc. I wasn't nervous anymore as I was confident Bill knew what he was doing and was making every effort to follow my wishes. The reception went off beautifully. There was dancing from begginning to end. Bill's announcement were just right, not cheesy or fakey, but genuine. I thank Bill Harris for giving me his best and making my wedding day the most."

"Mr. Thrill djed my ceremony perfectly, and then went right into my reception. It was perfect! I love Mr. Thrill!

"We have a winter formal for the Swingers, a girl's club from Round Rock High School. Mr. Harris came highly recommended from several others who had used him for sweet 16 parties and high school dances. He was also a middle school teacher and had had many of our girls in his classes. We communicated our concerns before the dance of music lyrics and type of dancing; we wanted our kids to have fun, but we wanted the music changed up so there would not be too much of this new dancing. Mr. Harris was very sensitive to our concerns and the evening was splendid. The kids loved the music and danced the night away. The lyrics were clean, as much as possible. Mr. Harris changed the style of music throughout the evening so that many of our parent sponsors concerns were at least, as the dance floor got heated. Professional, prompt, and parent sensitive are qualities of Bill Harris. We are planning to use him next year if he is available."

"This is the second year in a row that we have used Mr. Thrill at our Corporate Christmas Party. Bill is easy to work with, and able to make last minute changes. Along with djing the evening and getting everyone dancing, he was also able to coordinate the sound with our slide show, along with cueing the music during our awards ceremony. We plan to use him again next year." Terry/Corporate Party/Driskill/ December 5th, 2009
"I found Bill Harris on the internet. I was looking for a DJ for my daughter's wedding. Bill met me for a first visit, then met with my wife and I, and then coordinated the ceremony and reception with my daughter. He did a splendid job. He was there to the end, announcing our daughter's exit. It was a wonderful experience working with Mr. Thrill." Irving /Plantation House/October 2009
"I work with Bill Harris's wife. They are both teachers. He came highly recommended by others that I worked with so I gave him a shot. He did our ceremony and reception at Vintage Villas. He knew how to use the house system there along with having an extra pa for the ceremony outside. It was wonderful. After the special dances, he got everyone dancing until the very end. Thank you Bill!!!" Sharon Hudson/Vintage Villas/September 2009
"I found Bill on the internet. There were so many DJs to choose from, and I was searching from Dallas. In my search I found that I was not talking with the DJ at many companies. One of my main reasons for choosing Bill Harris is because I knew Bill would be my DJ. He handled everything in a professional manner. He set up a separate pa for our ceremony which was down by the water. He was very familiar with the venue, which made me confident when I hired him. My husband and I were not disappointed." Amber/La Guna Gloria/August 2009
"Bill Harris was the DJ at both my daughters weddings. One daughter was married on August 12, 2006 and the other on January 6, 2007. He did an outstanding job. He planned with the girls so that they would have the music they wanted along with coordinating the events of the reception. I would recommend Mr. Harris as a DJ for any occasion. On Amber's wedding she asked Mr. Thrill to sing and he entertained our guests during dinner with a variety of fun songs. It set a wonderful tone for the whole evening.'

'I had my wedding reception in December 2006 and had the opportunity to work with Bill Harris, also known as Mr. Thrill.In preparing for my wedding, he gave me ideas for music that could be included in not only the ceremony and reception, but also our slideshow and video. In addition, Bill and I had several conversations in order to tailor the reception schedule to meet our needs. I felt very confident that everything would be taken care of. Indeed, on the day of the wedding Bill arrived early and had everything set up in a very timely manner. He proficiently operated the sound and music during my ceremony. And then he acted as DJ/MC during the reception. My family commented several times on how professional Bill was and how smoothly everything went. Everyone also noted his great personality and wit. He has the ability to set people at ease and make them feel comfortable. It was a wonderful experience, and I would recommend Bill for any special occasion or event!'

Feedback
- Mr. Thrill was very helpful in the planning process since we had no clue about the different traditions associated with the wedding reception and he was also real great with keeping things organized and on time. Mr. Thrill was there early for setup and was incredibly friendly...
I'm not intending on getting married again but for any other functions we may plan in the future...we'd definitely hire again.
Thanks Bill.

- We had a great experience with Mr. Thrill. He was easy to work with, responded well to our requests, and was a seasoned professional. We had many special requests at our reception. Not only did he adapt to them, but he took the lead and made certain everything went smoothly. I would highly recommended him for your next wedding or event. In fact, one of our guests was so impressed, she booked him for their wedding. -- Andrew E, Lakeway, TX, 6/12/2010
- Overall experience was great! Due to Mr. Thrill, I had more people tell me they had the best time and enjoyed this particular Christmas Party more so than in previous years.

- This is the second year we used Mr. Thrill DJ and Bands for our awards ceremony for AVON. This year we used him for four of our award ceremonies within Texas. Bill Harris, Mr. Thrill, played music in the background along with appropriate songs at the right moments that really enhanced our event. As ladies would come up on stage he would play a mix of music that set the tone for the event, whether to honor those receiving awards, or creating excitement during the evening. We hope to use Mr. Thrill again next year.

- I would highly recommend Mr. Thrill to anyone! I had sent Mr. Thrill several pages worth of song requests before our wedding and he was able to accommodate all the songs. He is also very good at sensing when a song isn't going over very well with the audience and changes it quickly to a song that keeps people on the dance floor. I was more than pleased with Mr. Thrill's skills as a DJ. He helped make our wedding day so much fun!! -- Amy M, Austin, TX, 4/12/2008
- After reading reviews about Mr. Thrill and of course reading that he can do Elvis impersonations, we had to give him a shot. And, we are so glad we did! We had a mixed crowd, and he worked them all. He was interactive, recepetive and more than accomodating to us even as last minute changes arose in the progression of events. When Elvis appeared that night - I think we left a memorable impression on all of our guests - "Thank you Mr. Thrill - The DJ is such an important piece to a great reception and we definetly couldn't have pulled it off without you."
-- Melanie S, Mcgregor, TX, 12/6/2008
- We had some electrical issues to overcome and Mr. Thrill was able to compensate and the show went on without a hitch! Thank you for a memorable evening for all of our guests and a happy bride & groom!

- Mr. Thrill we cannot begin to tell you how great you are I have had one hundred fifty emails regarding your outstanding performance and DJ services! We will try and figure out how to get you to Cincinatti for our next reunion! You are Definately one of a Kind! Thank you for all the extra work you did to make our event second to none! Your professionalism and entertainment will be talked about for years! There were people dancing who had never been on a dance floor before but you had the whole crowd up out of their chairs we all had to soak our feet the next day!
Until we meet again,
Sincerely,
Michael De La Garza -- Michael D, San Antonio, TX, 10/10/2009
- We just loved Mr. Thrill. He was not only a talent but so much fun and got the group up and going all night. We had a small incident with someone falling and he handled that so well...toned the music down and was extremely considerate. Everyone at the party enjoyed his music and singing and many said they would hire him for their next event.
Great job. We so appreciated him!!!
