We just met with our first DJ and we were given a quote of $1200 for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. No frills just regular lighting and music of our choice. Does this seem like a good deal? (FI knows the MC) Any help would be appreciated as I don't know what an average price is. TIA!

Re: DJ $1200???
There are two company's i know one of which is the dj i booked that can go 1k or less with even two people and basic lights and no giveaways. Check out High Energy Entertainment (who i booked with) and FM Entertainment.
It doesn't sound that off though but if u want to save another 200 then try those guys out.

Re: DJ $1200???
I think if you have both a DJ and an MC, it is pretty reasonable.
We are having only a DJ (same no frills service), and we're paying $800ish.... the MC must tack on at least another 300-500.....

That seems a little high. You should check out FM Entertainment. They are a vendor on here. Their prices are less.

In my opinion that is a little high with no frills. I am having a friend dj ours though so I am getting a great deal for the dj and mc, but another placed called DJ Joey quoted me at $900 for dj and MC. So I think you can find something out there for a little less.

we went with FM Entertainment and have a DJ and MC and have ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and we upgraded to the best lights package and we are paying 1450 plus we supposedly got some 200 deluxe light thing with our names on it for free.
check out FM ... frank there is very nice and very laid back.

Re: DJ $1200???
My FH is an events manager for EJ the DJ and he says it's a fair price, but he says what's more important is that you're comfortable with the DJ and the MC. Have you seen any demos?

Re: DJ $1200???
i don't know much about DJ's, other than trying to find the best price for the money, i'm letting my fh do most of the work on this vendor.
with the $1200 quote- it is a mc & dj for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. the owner knocked $300 off the price as we know his partner.
next week we will be going to see another company, which my fi's friend still works for. i appreciate all of your comments, as they are very helpful.

Re: DJ $1200???
it seems a bit high to me with no frills. We're paying $900 for 1 DJ, 1 MC, 5 hours of music plus a plasma screen.
