   OH MY GAWD KK!!! That seems crazy expensive to me - but "expensive" is a relative term. We booked Bill Bara (Modern Era) ... he is fabulous .... What I found in looking for Pgh DJs that I liked is anywhere from 800-2000. Once I saw the ModernEra website, I knew that was what I wanted so I stopped looking for any more DJs,…

   DJ Bill Bara goes for $1600 or at least that is what we were quoted about 8 months ago. We spoke to someone that was $700 and had really good reviews online, but in videos of him DJing it seemed like he talked way too much, played super cheasy songs ("We are family"? eeks.), and brought props for guests. This was not what…

   Check out BPM Djs! It's a group of three guys, and they often Dj down in the Southside (primarily Jekyll and Hyde and TikiLounge, some of our favorite SS spots). We went with Steve Spin, he was a GREAT value. Awesome awesome dj, very much in that Modern Era club style but not nearly as much. 1100 for everything, an extra…

   How much should I plan to pay for a DJ? I'm just not sure if it's 800 or 1200 ... 1500 ? We were recently at a wedding, and ugh ... the DJ played 12 "unpopular" songs straight, & literally 8 of the 311 guests were dancing, yet he continued to play that same genre. I want a fun one!! Thoughts?

   Anyone use Zini productions for DJ? Know the cost? I've been pretty surprised with quotes for DJs too.

   We used DJ Spike Real, We were in the $1200-1300 range for everything. We can't express enough the amazing party that Spike threw, He was not afraid to stop a song 30 seconds into it because people were walking off the dance floor and switch to something else. We could not be happier with him.…

   I've gotten DJ quotes ALL over the places... from 375 for 4 hours to 1200 for 5 hours. Of course, it somewhat depends on their experience and the equipment/lighting but I also thought it was so hard to determine what is reasonable. I booked my DJ for 75/hr for a min. of 3 hours - I know we'll have him for longer than that…

   I noticed when I was researching DJ's the cost is all across the board, which can be so confusing. I decided to go with DJ Bill Bara from Modern Era weddings. He was towards the higher end of your question, but I wanted someone that had really good reviews and was used by a lot of people I know (I have requested…

    We went with DJ Bill Bara from Modern Era and they do have off season discounts, so it's worth checking them out!
