DJ/Bank Budgets???

Hi! I am recently engaged and have started the planning process.  Problem is, I have no idea what I am doing.  We are trying to put together a budget and I was just wondering what the range is for a Band or DJ?

Any help, experience, recommendations would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you!!!

    You should probably post this on your local board.
    A band will be much more expensive than a DJ. I'm planning for a DJ and my budget is about $1000 which is on the very low side. I'm going to try to allocate $2000 for DJ and some sort of lighting. Prices will be different depending where you live.

    Eryka, a lot of these kinds of questions are specific to your area.  Since you're a newbie, let me suggest that you use your local boards for questions like this.

    These boards are international. I'm in NJ and what we pay for things is probably different from your area.  Things addressed on these boards are usually more global or universal type questions.

    Look to your left.  Find the drop down for local wedding boards.  Then find the one closest to you.  GL

    Ditto, I'm paying $500 for my DJ- obviously WAY less than Jadzia, but $500-$800 is the going rate in my area
