January 2009: Michigan's Unemployment rate over 10%.
Update October 16, 2009: Michigan's Unemployment rate at 15.3%.
Metro Detroit and most areas of Michigan continue to take a BIG hit from job losses, a horrible housing market and stock market, drastically hurt pensions and 401K's. Mike understands the strain put on those paying for weddings and other important events and is trying help.

When unemployment jumped in 2008, he started giving a huge $225 discount (compared to 2006) in order to lower his DJ Music Entertainment price all the way down to $750 in Metro Detroit till unemployment rate goes back down. That's taking off over 20% from his former rate. Other areas in Michigan might have an additional gas charge, depending on price of gas and travel distance.

For those who booked Mike before he temporarily lowered his rates, your Balance Due has also been automatically lowered to include this discount. Even though nobody who already contracted Mike asked for this discount, they didn't have to - Mike treats everyone fairly.

When economy improves, his friday and saturday rates will return to $975 or higher for future bookings. Those who already have a contract with Mike keep their contracted rate. That means if you book him now for $750, it stays at that - it never increases.

Serving Our Country $50 Bonus Discount (good for every day of the week)

Mike's way of saying Thank You for serving. If you are a current service member or a veteran, you can add this additional discount making a fri/sat total discount of $275. This applies to those getting married and those who are paying Mike to DJ a family member's wedding.
