What are your prices?
Please take just a minute to review the following information. I can tell you with absolute certainty that you get what you pay for in the mobile DJ industry.
A number of factors determine a DJ's cost, including date & location of event, talent, experience, MC ability (Master of Ceremony), service, coordination, equipment needed, music knowledge, mixing ability and personality. For literally a few hundred dollars, anyone can throw together some used gear and call themselves a professional. As you gather more information, you may find that prices vary quite a bit from one DJ company to the next.
Rates for the DJ industry vary greatly, ranging from as little as a couple hundred bucks to $3,500 or more with an average 4-6 hour event around $1,200. The best price is not always the best deal, especially if you are planning a Wedding. As an example, one company may have a package that is $795 and includes only 4 hours of music. Often times that DJ can end up costing more than the all-inclusive DJ, where the total number of hours can't be known for sure ahead of time.
A full-service DJ company will normally invest 20-30 hours in your special event but it may appear that you are only paying for "4-6 hours". Consultations, music purchasing, programming and editing, preparation, rehearsal, set-up and tear-down, education and other business-related endeavors add up to the overall success of your special occasion.
