Disc Jockey rates vary based on talent,
experience, emcee ability, service,
coordination, equipment needed, music
knowledge, mixing ability and personality.
Rates for the DJ industry vary greatly, ranging
from two hundred dollars to two thousand
dollars, with an average of $1,200.00 for a 4
hour booking. The best price is not always the
best deal, especially if you are planning a
wedding. As a matter of fact, surveys conclude
that nearly 100% of brides would have spent
more money on their entertainment and made
it their #1 priority in hindsight.

invest from 12 to 30 hours to your 4-hour
event. Consultations, music purchasing &
editing, preparation, set-up and tear-down,
education and other business-related
endeavors add up to the overall success of
your special occasion.
