Oceanside DJ with a dedicated Westchester landing page and three named wedding tiers, none of them priced.
Brian Howard Entertainment is based in Oceanside, on Long Island. It keeps a landing page written for Westchester couples, and that page names three wedding tiers: Traditional, Deluxe and Ultimate. A ceremony pianist add-on and other live musician options sit beside them. It attaches no dollar amount to any of it. Checking the Westchester page on 11 September 2026 turned up package names and a stated music range running from the 1920s forward, with no price. The company also works mitzvahs. So the site gives you a clear picture of the product ladder and nothing at all about where your budget lands on it, which makes the first phone call a pricing call.
The package names are the whole public offer. Nothing tells you what a tier costs, how long it runs, or how many people arrive. Ask for a written sheet with each tier priced and the hours it covers. The price of running late sits next to the cost of the drive from Oceanside. Confirm which DJ works your date, by name, inside the contract.
The Westchester wedding DJ page at brianhowardmc.com, read 11 September 2026. Checked September 2026. First party means the business’s own site or rate card. Marketplace means The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, Wedding Spot or similar. Nothing here is averaged or estimated.
Based in Oceanside on Long Island rather than Westchester, and the three package names are published without any prices.
Traditional, Deluxe and Ultimate is a standard three-rung ladder. The naming tells you the company expects most couples to land in the middle. Without prices, you cannot tell whether the gap between rungs is a few hundred dollars or a few thousand. Nor can you tell what each rung adds in hours, staff and gear.
Ask for the tier sheet as a document. It should state how many hours each tier covers and how many people show up. What a run past the contracted finish costs belongs on it, along with whether ceremony sound at a separate location is included or billed. Cocktail hour coverage is the last thing to place inside or outside the tier.
Most DJ companies stop at a ceremony speaker and a laptop. This one sells a pianist for the ceremony and other live musicians as add-ons, which lets you run live music for the vows and recorded music for the reception without hiring two companies. That is one contract and one point of contact instead of two.
Ask how the pianist is booked. A subcontracted musician and a staff musician behave very differently when someone cancels in May.
The catalogue is the other detail worth pushing on. The site says the music reaches back to the 1920s, which matters if your guest list spans four generations and your parents want a set they know. Check how requests are handled and whether a do-not-play list is honored in writing. Who holds the microphone for announcements is the third question.
The base is Oceanside in Nassau County. A Westchester wedding means crossing the city or running the bridges twice on a Saturday, with gear. The site publishes no travel fee, no mileage rate and no minimum booking for out-of-area dates. Get all three in writing before you set this quote beside a DJ who lives in White Plains.
There is also no published founding year, no crew size and no statement about backup gear. Establish what happens if a speaker dies at 9pm, and how far the spare equipment sits from your venue. A DJ twenty minutes away can solve that problem inside an hour. A DJ on Long Island cannot.
