    It ranges a lot. You can find some DJs that will do it for $450 and it can go up to $2,000 or a lot lot more depending on what you want with your packages. You really just gotta call around.

    We're looking at around $800. I thought that was a bit pricey, but I had to remember he's a mixer for a popular Philly station, so I think it will be worth it.

    Others that I looked into wanted anywhere from $400-$600.

    Think we are spending about $950.  That was for a Friday.  For Saturday they were like $1100.  We went with DiNardo Bros cause we know they are good, and DJ wasn't something we wanted to roll the dice on.

    As others said, they prices can vary alot.  I am paying $850.   When I called around though, most seemed to range from $800-$1000.

    ..One more thought...I have also learned that the DJ's that work for larger companies are going to run you more. If you're looking to keep the price down, you can try to look into I guess what they call 'private DJ's' or ones that work for themselves, not a larger company.

    Terry @ DJ's Available. $650 for a 5 hour reception. He did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend him.
