DJ Cost?

Ours is £385 - but he is the 'resident' DJ at our venue so it might be a bit cheaper than normal. Over £500 does sound a lot to me though!

Ours is £250, but that is only for about 3/4 hours!

We're paying £325 for 7:30-midnight.

Ours is £900, that's after bargaining, but he's doing 4pm-12pm.

Ours is charging £325 for 7-midnight then £75 to come in earlier in the day and set up so he doesn't have to do it when people are there. We're not sure if we're doing this yet as I need to see the room again and see how much space there is.

$350 from 7 - 00.30. We paid seperately for lighting and uplighters.

Ours is £430 from 4pm - midnight

Wow! We are paying £190 for 7.30 - Midnight.

God my quote does seem high looking some of the others! Maybe I'll have another look at others...

One thing to bear in mind....they are all very different and offer a different service.

I do advise people to shop around...but not for price.... but instead for the service they offer.

Also the price often equates to how much they are worth, level of professionalism and experience.

If a DJ is regularly getting booked at £500 - £900 ...it''s because they're worth it. They wouldn't be able to continually get those fees if they weren't supplying over and above a DJ that goes out for £180.

I'm quite happy to share my price. Evening only is £550. Referrals last year made up most of my bookings... so that should indicate something.

I hope that helps.

We are paying £190 from 7 - midnight.

Thanks. I did think this when looking. They do seem very proffessional and out of all the others recommended by the venue they do seem to be the best. Thanks for all the replys.

Im getting married in suffolk but its on the border of essex too... would you mind saying who that one was?

Ours is costing about £180, we got him cheaper because he was doing a deal at a wedding fayre. he is cheap but i have heard him and hes good (i recommended him to my brotehr who booked him). The resident DJ at our reception charges £500 and tbh he isnt the best

£300 for 6.45pm till 1.45am.

Ours is £200 and that also includes his travel costs as he lives about 50 miles away from where we're getting married but he's a DJ I've seen many times and knew I wanted!

I think we decided our evening reception is 7-12:30 so he will play all this time and arrive a bit earlier to set-up!

Average dj cost is as follows :-The typical cost of a Professional Mobile Wedding Deejay is typically defined as being between $100 and $300 per hour.

Chelsmayes I'll happily DJ your wedding for you for £350 give me a ring on ****

Blimey mines 200 for 7.30 till 12

xx

Ours is £140 from 7.30pm til Midnight, myself and a few friends run charity disco nights and we have used him several times and he is absolutely fab, I swear the dance floor is never empty. And the £140 isn't a special rate cos we know him, he actually charges us less when we do our charity nights. His equipment is modern and he is reliable and professional so if you know someone is good then I don't think paying under a certain amount means that they aren't professional.

Mines £180 for 7-midnight, he will play whatever i want. i told him i was thinking of getting all the guests to request a song before the day so i can create a personalized playlist and he said that is fine.

Ours is £340 for 7-12.

Much of the conversation is based purely on price but DJs aren't a commodity such as a chair cover or dance floor.

There can be a huge difference between one end of the market to the other and the price won't begin to tell you the full story. I for example have performed at well over 2,000 weddings, not only all over the UK but in many countries around the world and my prices are considerably higher than most. I also offer far more services than most DJs, but for those that compare solely on price I probably wouldn't even be considered by many. But for those that see there is much more to booking a DJ than price alone and want a night to remember for the rest of their lives and not just about saving a bit of money, they are more willing to meet with a DJ such as myself to discuss what I can do for them to make their night extremely special.

If music means a lot to you and you want to ensure that you and your guests have a great night to remember for the right reasons, for many years, I'd urge you to think about a lot more than just the price!

Martin - I doubt you are a commercial subscriber to Hitched, and so you are advertising and breaking the rules.

Apologies if you are paying to advertise here, but if you are not then your posts will be removed (as they have been reported).

Touting for work in this way is unprofessional and also unfair on legitimate DJ's who advertise under the rules.

That seems like good value - particularly if you have seen him many times - its the best recommendation there is.

mmm just make sure you veto the list - Aunty Ethel might like 'Old Shep' by Elvis but......

Beware of request lists - you might get a long list of songs that only a few people will like/know

Our DJ is £475 for 7pm - midnight. This also includes uplighting and advice cards (he is putting them on the remaining tables and around the venue for people to fill in to offer advice and messages to us - some he will read out on the night - all of them will go in a presentation book for us to keep).

Ours is £125. I thought it sounded cheap, even for a resident DJ. I would have thought in the North West the average would be 300ish tbh.
