DJ prices

klwaldorf

I have gotten the same DJ recommendation from my photographer and my caterer who are both great.  I dont know much about pricing for DJ's though.  They are asking $1295 for 6 hours of music (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception), lighted dj setup, and additional light at venue. 

Does anyone have any feed back on that price??

i think that sounds about right.
my dj (ubi) was 600 for the reception and an additional 150 if i wanted to add him for cocktail hour (which we didnt).
he also had lighting packages - a basic one color up-light pacakage will be at least 250. and would go up depening on quantitiy and of course if you wanted multi color lights or monogram included.

That's about what we're paying, so sounds good to me!

That's almost exactly what I'm paying for the same thing!

I think that's a great deal, especially because your lighting is included.

MrsFranco417

that's in the range I am getting as well. and it includes lighting, which is great! :-)

I'm using Kenny Mondo and he is $750 for 6 hours. Check him out. I also got other quotes as low as $95 an hour so look around.

I would talk to them about the price, if you don't negotiate they will just give you the standard price. I am paying 800 for 6 hours ceremony, cocktail, and reception in 3 separate rooms. 25 uplights, gobo, dance floor party lights and an illuminated DJ booth. 

I'm using one of the more popular companies on the boards and when I initially spoke to them they quoted me 1100 ish and we negotiated.

Thanks everyone for the advice! i plan on trying to negotiate and have him break down the costs within the package because looks like there maybe something i might not need being its an outdoor venue

Sounds reasonable to me for the most part!

I personally think thats a lot. I paid la lot less than that and it included a lighted DJ setup & lights on the ceiling. Cake spot light. MC/DJ Ceremony & Reception for 5 hours.

Try Dj. Stephen Peters. He has everything you need & can customize your package. We  had him at our wedding and he was awesome!!  I haven't given my official review yet but I can say that everyone had an awesome time on the dance floor. He's super nice and was very attentive. I highly recommened him.
