This doesnt seem right

I got a quote from a DJ and Im not sure if it is too much or just right. What do you girls think....?

I was quoted $1500 for 51/2 hours of music. Thats it. Nothing more nothing less. Since he came recommended by FH family I told them to go ahead and send me a contract. Can I decide not to sign and let them know it is too much for what they are offering or am I stuck?

Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated. I hope I didnt just mess up!!!

Re: This doesnt seem right

If you don't want him you don't have to sign the contract. I would search around just to make sure he is the one you want. It is a little expensive (but not too much that it's unreasonable), but if you know that's what you really want, then any price is worth i.

Re: This doesnt seem right

That does seem high for just music, there was another post on here where people said what they are paying look in that thread and compare.

Re: This doesnt seem right

Well...I am paying about $1500 for 6 hours of music, lights and a dinner singer. So I'd say you could probably get a better deal. But, I don't think its completely outrageous of a price. If you liked the DJ and you know they come highly recommended, I'd go for it.

I believe you're playing a tad bit too much. For that price, you could at the very least get a DJ, MC, Party favors, and lights...

I honestly don't think it's that high a price, but if you aren't comfortable, hold off on signing the contract and meet with other DJs.

Re: This doesnt seem right

for that price you should be getting an MC & some type of basis lighting. you can get a dj/mc/basic lights for $1k

Re: This doesnt seem right

That is very high for just music. We went to FM Entertainment and for 5hrs just music it was $750.00.

Re: This doesnt seem right

We used Variety Music and paid just over 1200 and had a DJ, MC and lighting package for 5hrs. So I think you can definetly do better.

Re: This doesnt seem right

OMGGGGGGGGGGGG that is great Price! Book it now what are you waiting for ..

I just have to edit to say this.. I don't know what your looking to have excatly. If the DJ is good and reputable that is a VERY good price.

Everything is relative to your budget price ofcourse.
I shoped around a lot and well I paid $3,500 total.
Intelligent lighting was included , plus he did 1/2 hour extra plus he also did my ceremony + cocktail hour.


Just to give you an idea. Not including a tip. YES YOU DO HAVE TO TIP YOU DJ. unless he stinks

Re: This doesnt seem right

That does seem a little high for just a DJ. Look into FM Entertainment. I got a DJ & MC, Cocktail Hour & Reception for $1095

Re: This doesnt seem right

i would keep looking, no signature on contract- no deal as of yet

Re: This doesnt seem right

NOIF YOU DIDNT SIGN A CONTRACT YOU SHOULD BE FINE. IF THEY CALL JUST TELL THEM YOU HAVENT MADE A DECISION YET. THEN LOOK AROUND & SEE IF YOU COULD FIND BETTER. WHICH YOU TOTALLY CAN!

Re: This doesnt seem right

That's a tough one..especially since it came as a recommendation...I would speak it over with your fiance first. You don't want to insult anyone if you don't use them. I would really pick he DJ you feel most confident about...,

Re: This doesnt seem right

It seems a bit high to me, but you're not obligated to anything until you sign and return that contract. So take your time, look over the contract, and before you send it back, maybe get price quotes from a couple of other vendors. Maybe even just put up a post on vendors helping brides and see what they come back to you with.

Re: This doesnt seem right

Its definitely not really outrageous-not the cheapest but not the most expensive either
