Average cost of a wedding DJ

£400 for our DJ. I had no idea bands were so expensive!

Ours is £325 for 7:30 until midnight. We're based in the South, the prices can vary depending on where you live.

We're paying £450 for our DJ, from 7pm to 1am

360 for ours but he brings a photographer with him too to take photos of the evening guests, so i think its a very good deal!

Ours is £200 from 7-1 x

This is a great idea ... more DJs and Photographers should do this!

Hi princess,

Can you give me a link for your DJ please, we're getting married in Cumbria, but live out of the area so trying to collect quotes from local suppliers.

Regards

For a DJ in Kent for 7:30-midnight, I've been quoted:

1) £560

2) £275

3) £395

4) £395

So... it looks like around here the average is just under £400.

2b_MrsB, I have sent you a message - i hope it worked!

£200ish!

We're based in Suffolk and our DJ quotes £485. We paid less than this because they had special offer on so we got it for 2011 prices.

We're based in Sutton and getting married in Surbiton. Are DJ will be £350 for 7:30-midnight and he'll also be taking photos of us while we're dancing in the evening too.

I'm having a 5 piece band who DJ inbetween their sets. So they will play two 45 min sets and then DJ in between for £750!! They are fabulous too.

They are also bringing their own PA with that which will save me some money as I've forked out for staging and lighting because our venue needs a bit of extra oomph!

They are going to start at 7pm and play through until the bitter end! ?

I am going to throw in a couple of hotel rooms nearby and food and drink for them, I have worked in the music business since I was 16 so deal with that kind of thing regularly. They didn't ask for anything other than a few drinks and some sandwiches but I want to look after them.

£495

We had a band, we paid £950 for a 5 peice they played 3 x 45min sets and they were fantastic worth every single penny. We then created 3 playlists on our Ipod and played it during the inetrvals it worked a treat.

We found this service for our wedding as we had a band but didn't want to shell out on a wedding DJ as well. They took our playlist and made a great mix for us which we just loaded onto an iPod and played on the night. Great mix, great service, worth a look: www.mypartymix.co.uk.

Where abouts in Sutton are you? I'm in wallington x

Ours is £575 but this includes an early set up fee.

£200 for one of the DJ's from the company or £300 for the Company Director (should be £350 cos hes ace but i get mates rates) and thats in manchester

I'm paying £680 which is for a ceilidh band for a couple of hours then a DJ takes over until 1am. I thought it was a great deal for 6 hours of entertainment in Edinburgh, I was expecting to pay a lot more.

We live near the Sutton Station.

We're paying £420 for ours..

Hi SR can I ask which DJ service you have used? Thanks. Xx

Ours is £250 from approx 7.30 till midnight. This is mates rates though I think as he is an old school friend of my sister. I doubt he's much more though as it's such a distant friend.

£200 from 7.30 to midnight... that's in Cambs.

some venues will want to see evidence of Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment too. (well ours does - their in-house DJ is £345.
