DJ Questioin

Just curious as to how much a DJ costs. I know it's different for each one, but even a range woud help. Just one person, no MC...thanks ladies.

Re: DJ Questioin

I´ve gotten quotes starting from $495 and up. Personally I need to try to keep it at $800 max. If price is a concern there is a post for tight budget djs. So far the ones I like the most (just from email/phone contact) are Tommy Tunes and Eventrix. Eventrix Andrew is awesome in my contact with him so far.

I just bumped the Official Tight Budget DJ thread for you.

Ours is $1700 for the basic package including a DJ and MC and basic lighting, but you can always take out what you don't need. We're using Body Rock.

Re: DJ Questioin

My DJ was a little more expensive (almost $3,000), but we added a lot of extras- singer, uplighting, monogram, 2 man crew...

I was given base package prices (5 hours, 1 DJ/MC, basic light show) for $1,500 & change.

We looked at Tommy's Tunes & 4 Star Entertainment

Re: DJ Questioin

I'm seeing a DJ tonight who charges $1250 for ceremony/ch/reception - he doesn't do it by hours, just the entire event. Single person who does both DJ and MC. No lighting or extras.

When you ladies say 'basic lighting' what is that?

Re: DJ Questioin

If you're not looking for any extras, you should be able to get a DJ/MC for $900-1100 for 5 hours.

Re: DJ Questioin

well...I'm a little irritated because the dj we have been in touch with, who is a family friend, and I thought was giving us a deal, is giving us one person, 5hours, but the cocktail hour (really an hour and a half - part of the 5 hours) is through a sound system that the Royalton provides...and we are being quoted over 1,400. Doesn't this seem a bit high? I don't even know how to approach the situation.
