Q: Are your rates competative? How are they determined?
DJ rates vary greatly based on talent, experience, emcee ability, service, coordination, equipment needed, music knowledge, and personality, ranging from $350 to $3,000 with an average of $1,000 for a 5-hour booking. The best price is not always the best deal, especially if you are planning a wedding. As a matter of fact, surveys conclude that nearly 100% of brides would have spent more money on their entertainment and made it their #1 priority in hindsight.
Although it may appear that you are only paying for "4-5 hours", we normally invest 8 to 12 hours behind the scene for your special event - consultations, music purchasing & editing, preparation, set-up and teardown, education and other business related endeavors.
