Hi everyone,We're working on getting quotes from Indian DJs and some are coming in around $2400...this seems high to me. So I thought I'd ask you guys to get an idea of average pricing.Can you please tell me how much your DJ is charging you, and what's included in that cost(i.e. ceremony music, baraat, reception, etc.)?Thanks in advance!Tina
Re: How much is your DJ?
would you mind sharing the name of your DJ?
thanks!

As far as how much should a DJ company charges all depends on exactly what services you'd like to book and how much time and effort is being put in for the day to run smoothly. To be quit honest, each DJ has different expenses based on if they own their own equipment or have to rent (especially lighting equipment), if it is a busy high demand weekend (such as Memorial-day, 4th of July, Labor-day) and helpers will cost more, if they're investing into any extras such as a dry ice fog machine, confetti, CD party favors, etc...
Also in general the more experienced the deejay is, the more he will probably charge for his expertise in mixing in music properly, coming to the venue to give you a demo, putting an itinerary together and discussing all the music selections for the entrance, cake, first dance, etc... After going through my own wedding process I came to realize that a DJ does a lot more then just come and perform for the 5 hours at the reception, and it is probably the only vendor who is requied to work live and expected to react so quickly to spontaneous moments. Experience is a ver key thing when hiring entertainment for your wedding, because it can either make or break the night. DJs are usually are the ones who are least paid from all the wedding vendors, however probably the only ones who provide such a variety of things from music, to live dhol, to lighting, to event planning. No matter what your budget is do make sure you have a good understanding with your deejay, you feel comfortable speaking to him, and he works with a passion for music because all of these qualties will definetly show on the day of!
