The typical wedding DJ cost will vary between $800-$1200. In the short term the wedding DJ price will be a factor in your budget, and long term 80% of the success of your wedding is based on the entertainment. If you want to have a great time, you will interview multiple companies.

Mine is normally $1200 but since my wedding is on a Sunday he's doing $650 for ceremony and reception. Ask what's included, some do lights, have premium equipment etc. our dj did market lighting in and out of our venue, all the up lighting, our photo booth, cocktail hour music and reception.

Your DJ is about 85% responsible for the success of your wedding reception. A lot of brides plan on spending more on their cake than they do on their DJ. Your cake will entertain your guests for about 5 minutes...

If a particular DJ doesn't fit your budget, keep looking for the most qualified one who does. You want to choose the right DJ to entrust your reception to: One who is going to try their hardest and do their best for you, not the first one you talk to or the most convenient one.

You can find cheap DJ's on Craigslist for like $300, but you get what you pay for and a DJ can really make or break the party. I am paying $800 for mine... $1200 for DJ and Lighting. We're paying $1,400 and it was on the lower end.

So I've been looking for DJs for our wedding in June. I have had quotes all the way from $350-$1300 for five hours. Seems like quite a span.

In the DC area for a professional DJ (as in this is what they do for a living, not a side hustle) the cheapest I've seen is $850 ish and that was for 4 hours. Of course that easily goes up to 1500 plus if you want more time, multiple locations, lighting, etc.

This post isn't about bashing what I consider to be average or stereotypical Wedding DJ's. For the most part I don't think there's anything particularly deceptive about how most of them run or market their companies. It's not a bait and switch scenario.
