You can HIRE A WEDDING DJ or DISC JOCKEY from as low as $150 for a kid with an IPOD and a pair of powered speakers or you can HIRE A PROFESSIONAL WEDDING DJ or A DISC JOCKEY for as high as $3500 to be the ENTERTAINMENT at your  RECEPTION. There really is no true rule of thumb to how much DJS should charge, but there are some things that you should expect your DJ to do.


When you HIRE A WEDDING DJ or DISC JOCKEY they should:
  • Have a professional sound system
    •
  • Have back-ups for each important component of their system
    •
  • Supply basic dance floor lighting
  • Help you with planning your RECEPTION
  • Have a large selection of music
  • Be able to MC your RECEPTION
  • Be able to bring all of the music that you ask for in advance
  • Be able to grant guest requests
  • Stick with your RECEPTION time-line
  • Dress appropriately
  • Be able to run your RECEPTION from start to finish (very important)

Let's break down each item.

  • If your WEDDING DJ or DISC JOCKEY does not have professional grade equipment you run a higher risk of having it break down during your special day.
  • If your WEDDING DJ'S equipment breaks down and they do not have back-up your RECEPTION comes to a halt.
  • Dance lighting is essential to motivating people to dance and should be included in the basic WEDDING DJ package.
  • Your WEDDING DJ or DISC JOCKEY should have extensive experience with RECEPTIONS and should be able to help you plan a fun and entertaining celebration.
  • Your WEDDING DJ should have a large selection of music for all age groups. The guests are usually from toddlers to grandparents and the music selected should have something for every age group.
  • The announcements and motivating the guests to dance are very important parts of your RECEPTION.
  • Your WEDDING DJ or DISC JOCKEY should be willing to purchase every song that you request that he/she doesn't already have.
  • Your WEDDING DJ should have a working knowledge of all of the music that he/she has and be able to quickly cue up guest requests.
  • Part of your WEDDING DJ's job is to keep everything running smoothly and make sure that all of the scheduled events happen within a reasonable time of the planner.
  • Your DJ or WEDDING DISC JOCKEY should dress business professionally (we don't recommend tuxes) and yet be comfortable enough to give you an outstanding performance.
  • Hiring an expert at running your RECEPTION means that you will be able to enjoy your guests instead of managing your DJ.

So now that you know all of this, how do you HIRE A DJ or WEDDING DISC JOCKEY and how much should you pay?


At $150 I would be very concerned that the DJ you are talking to does not meet the criteria above. I would look to HIRE A WEDDING DJ or DISC JOCKEY that meets more of the criteria.

At $3500 I would be asking myself "what does this WEDDING DJ provide that gives him/her so much more value to be worth thousands of dollars more than others"? We know a DJ in New York City that is worth every bit of the $3500 he charges.
