    I actually dont know what ours costs because we have an all-inclusive package. Before we booked our wedding I priced different people out. I found anywhere from $75-$200 an hour.

    I am using Teffanie from Face the Music -

    We are using her for both the ceremony and reception.  Her cost came to $995.

    I met with several DJ's.  Cost for ceremony and reception ranged from $800 to 1500.

    Has anyone priced out AZ Celebrity DJ?   I'm really curious about them...  since they have a deal/set up with a photobooth rental package too. 

    They scare me a bit as far as pricing, because they have such good reviews on weddingwire... 72 reviews and maintaining a full 5 stars.  That's crazy.  LOL

    We are using AZ Music Man. They started at $775 for 6 hours but we were able to negotiate down to $600! Definitely don't forget to try negotiating ladies! It saved me almost $200! (Okay, it saved my dad  $200!)   :)

    I used Ed from Ray the DJ, I think it was about $850, although I do not remember exactly because we added some things on (ceremony mics and things like that) so it ended up being $1300, but I am pretty sure the 5 hours we had him at the reception were about $850.

    Syndelin - I looked into them because they were recommended by our venue.  It was the longest 2+ hour DJ meeting of my life.  I was done after the first 15 min! 

    We did not meet with Juan, the owner because he was already booked on our day.  So, if you have the opportunity to meet with Juan, then you may want to, just make sure he would be the one doing your wedding. 

    Instead we met with Joe another DJ for the company.  There is no way that after our meeting with him I could recommend them!  It was a long high pressured sales pitch with a lot of him talking at us, not with us.  At the end he wanted an answer right away.  We tried to cut the meeting short a few times and he interrupted us.  It was horrible. 

    In the end, we booked with another DJ and a separate photobooth company.

    Have you tried looking into a live band? They actually aren't as expensive as they seem. One of the best variety bands in town is the Bounce band. I've been to a couple of receptions with them and they are awesome! But the cool thing abuot a variety band is that they can do just about anything! We used a live band for our reception and they were worth it!
