Hi all!
I was just wondering how much everyone spent on a DJ and if it was just run-of-the-mill or if they did anything special with their services in your price range. Just looking to see some comparisons so we don't overspend. There is a pretty big price difference in a lot of the DJs in my area.
Re: Average price range for a DJ?
FI and I went to 2 bridal shows and saw other DJ's in our area, one was $1,000 for only 4-5 hours with minimal to nothing extra. Others ranged about $450-$600 as well with their bridal show specials. However, the DJ that we picked DOES NOT do bridal shows, they advertise only by their marked vehicles, facebook, and what people post on the knot, weddingwire and so forth about them they said. Our DJ also said the pricing for other people are so high compared to them, is because they spend money on the bridal show booths that cost a bit of money to set up, with other advertising that they need a way to make money, ours does simply by customers words of mouth and so forth.
Our DJ is playing our ceremony, cocktail hour, and all through our reception. From 6 PM until midnight.
