I have been looking around for a Dj and MC. I was wondering what is the average cost anyone has paid for one? I am located in Central NJ

    I am in the Chicago suburbs. My dj quoted me $600. That is only because he works very closely with my venue and is allowed to use their sound system and such so the only thing he has to bring is his laptop. It would cost over $1000 to book him if we were not at my venue.

    Milwaukee, WI. We looked at 3 companies in the area and they were $1100-$1500. For cocktail and reception.

    We were able to find good deals through wedding shows and popular companies offering deals on Craigslist. The best deal I found was 6 hour reception/dance plus ceremony for $800. Typically this is over $1000 though

    Mine is $700 but my price is a special because of my venue. He's normally $1000.

    $400 but that's because with a buddy discount. He is a local radio VJ so we know he is legit and good. He will be there for ceremony and reception, in Sedona, AZ.

    Mine is 1425 for San Diego. That's for 5 hours at the reception and microphone/speaker for the ceremony. There were less expensive and more expensive people out there but we felt like we clicked with our DJ when we talked to him.

    I booked a photographer and a DJ for 6 hours each with engagement photos for $2450 total and the DJ is bringing uplighting, microphones, etc. Not sure how it breaks down from there.
