Cost for a dj

Located in central MA about 50 miles from Boston.
I did find a dj....799.00 for 5 hours. Yay!!

I’m in NC. We’re paying $1k for ours. He’s doing the wedding and reception, as well as coming for the rehearsal.

It all depends. My dads friend who happens to be a dj only charges $450.00

View Quoted Comment Wow! My FH would not let that fly. That's expensive for only 3 hours.

I chose an award winning DJ, it’s worth it to us. They are usually around that cost here in my state. We definitely splurged on the dJ but I wouldn’t change a thing. He’s gonna be awesome. Remember the DJ hosts the entire night. Keep that in mind

View Quoted Comment And it’s 4 hrs I miss typed lol 5:30-9:30

Im just outside of Chicago and found ours for 1250 for the night (ceremony starts at 5, reception ends at 12:30)

We paid $1,000 for 7 hours in eastern MA.

We are paying $900 for our Dj, for ceremony and reception. In Kansas City, MO

We splurged a little bit because to us the DJ can make or break the wedding. Our DJ has a great reputation and will definitely bring the life to the party. He's about $2300. This also includes a photo booth and worker, ceremony music, ceremony microphone/setup, and cocktail hour music. It feels like a lot- but we wanted to invest in a good DJ so we aren't discouraged. We also saved on some other vendors which helped us feel a bit more comfortable with our decision.

We’re paying $995 for 6 hours in NH. There were very few that were that cheap though. More experienced DJs were more like $1500 for 5 hours.

I found one by the name of Derbytown he is out of Mt Washington Ky. Very reasonable. Where is your venue?

View Quoted Comment In Bolton, MA. I think I found one 5 hours for 700.00. But I do not see any website or any reviews about him. I am skeptical.

Well from what everyone else is reading I think we paid a lot. We paid around 3200 for the DJ, 1 MC, the ceremony, cocktail hour, the reception (all this equals 6 hours). We also got uplighting, lighting for the dance space, and a photobooth.

We're having a family friend do it, so ours was $625 I think.

I don’t blame you I would be a little reluctant with no reviews. One thing you don’t want to do is make a bad decision on who you choose. After all they are a huge part of your wedding and will be the center of the entertainment. If you need to spend a little more it will be worth the cost at your reception.

We’re located in NC. Our DJ is $1k for 6 hours.

I find my DJ for $500 for 5 hours doing the whole wedding in Nashville ,TN

Omaha, Nebraska $900 for ours

The wedding is in Los Angeles, and I had a really hard time finding a DJ within my budget. My coordinator referred me to one that cost $900 for the reception (5 hours) but I needed to add uplighting for $400. The cost of lighting is crazy!
