DJ Question

Just starting to look for DJ's.  What is the average price everyone is finding in the Pittsburgh area?  The first quote I recieved seems rather high, but I have nothing else to compare it to.

THANKS!

I'd say average is around $1K, but the range is prob $700-$2K.

I used DJ Tooth (iamtooth@aol.com)  and he was more than just a DJ and was very reasonable.  He helped move the whole ceremony and wedding along properly.

Our dj was 1200 but I got quotes close to 3000

I'm paying $975 for my really well-reviewed dj but got some quotes that were much much higher, and some for only about $600 that seemed a little cheesy

Thanks everyone!  The first quote I recieved was for around $1,200 which seemed really high for what we were looking for.  I was just quoted $600 for same time period so going to meet this DJ soon.  Fingers crossed!

In my DJ search I found a lot of DJs in the $700-1000 price range but I'm trying to find one $600 or preferably below.  If you don't mind, what DJ gave the $600 quote?  My wedding is next May.  :)

I just posted to your other post :-)
I found a very reasonable experienced DJ that starts at $600.

He will meet with you too just to make sure it's a good fit.  Very pleased so far!

Our wedding DJ was Mark Buchek, www.boochx.com. His rate was super reasonable and he's very professional and easy going. He kept everything running very smoothly and was not a cheese ball at all. In 2008, I believe we paid him $500 for 5 or 6 hours of time. I'm sure it's gone up a bit with inflation, but I'd check. Best of luck!!
