Cost of DJ and flowers?

ariemue · June 2010

I'm trying to make my budget...but I wanted to know what the general cost of flowers and a dj were. I found some dj'sfor $550 but are there any good ones for less then that? How much did you pay for flowers total?

DJs are a pretty standard price. $550 seems pretty middle of the road/low. ours was $900 and we were very pleased. i know some newer DJs are around $100/hour. maybe check with Byrne Rock?

flowers are totally dependent on your vision and how large your wedding party/guest list is. we did ours for around $1500 and it was for 4 BMs, 4 GMs, 3 users, 3 moms, 3 dads, 170 ppl (so 17 table centerpieces), cake decorations, 2 alter arrangements, pew bows/flowers, toss petals for the exit. obviously that number goes WAY up or down depending on the types of flowers you want (we told her to use whatever was in season/available that week in our color scheme, so she got a much better deal with the wholesaler since we weren't tied to certain flowers). I did insist on lots of gerber daisies, but they aren't expensive flowers to begin with.

We are paying 650 for our DJ and our flowers are about 2K.

We are paying 586 for DJ with lighting and a gobo machine! And flowers we are paying around 1600. Hope that helps!

We are paying our DJ $500. Flowers will be $1200. This includes 2 alter pieces. I have 6 BMs, 6 groomsmen, 4 Ushers, 1 dad, 3 moms, 1 flower girl, 15 centerpieces, and an escort card table arrangement . I went with a simple, clean line look which brought costs down and I am using mokara orchids, calla lillies, hydrangeas and spider mums.

Our DJ is 850, booked through our venue. I only have people and cake flowers and they came to almost exactly $500.

I saved alot on flowers by going to Central Market Floral Department (main location). Donna Foster, their floral designer, supplied me with incredible roses throughout the Caswell House, where I had my wedding.

In 2006, I paid $650, including delivery, for 3 arrangements (one of them a mantel piece with draping greenery), 5 centerpieces, bridal bouquet, 2 bridesmaids' bouquets, 2 boutonniere's, & MIL corsage.

Her prices were 50 - 66% cheaper than other flower quotes I received, and she gave me more flowers as well.

Hi everyone . . . would you mind posting who your DJ & Florist is with your rates? It would be really helpful. We don't have our heart set on anyone yet.

Hi

I think the 550 and up is pretty much what everyone seems to be paying out in D.J service. We are hiring a D.J that is a local D.J on a radio station and he is $125.00 hr. I dont have a florest just yet does any one have any recomendations?
