Disc Jockey rates
vary based on talent, experience, emcee ability, service, coordination,
equipment needed, music knowledge, mixing ability and personality.
Rates for the DJ industry vary greatly, ranging from $350.00 to over
$5,000.00 with an average of $1,200.00 for a 4 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.
A full-service disc jockey company will normally invest 12 to 30
hours to your special event but it may appear that you are only
paying for "4 hours". Consultations, music purchasing & editing,
preparation, set-up and tear-down, education and other business related
endeavors add up to the overall success of your special occasion.
