How much is your DJ/MC

Https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/what-are-you-paying-for-your-djmc/68cf0e05396e43c1.html

Ask for discounts like if you pay in full, pay all cash, only use certain services that's you really want(don't choose up lighting, photobooth, bs that doesn't matter lol)

Definitely get reviews on the DJ, good ones will help make your reception that much better. Don't book the one just because it's attached to that venue, unless they're good--and in your budget of course.

I agree with above, book the venue first then large vendors.

That's reasonable for LA/OC. I'm paying $1350 for 6 hours for a Friday evening wedding in LA. What does this include? My DJ also typically will do some day of coordinating like working with other vendors but brought down his price since we already hired a DOC.

Does your venue have any restrictions/requirements on DJ's or other vendors? If we didn't use a DJ from their preferred vendor list, I had to get approval prior to contracting with anyone and provide the venue with a copy of vendor's insurance.

ETA: my location

I was quoted $800-$1000 and had a bit of sticker shock. I just didn't have a clue as to what they really cost lol.

$850 in the mid west - including uplighting.

Paid $550 due to booking him from a bridal expo. His normal rate is $800+. Includes ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, as much up-lighting as can fit, an unlimited # of hours, no travel fee (my wedding is about an hour away), a printed full planner, and an online music planner where you can assign songs to certain times.

That's a pretty good quote. Our DJ is $1500 for 5 hours.

No up lighting... my venue already includes up lighting, duties include setup/breakdown and music for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, introductions and guiding program along smoothly

@Kay S, $550! I'm jealous

Mine is charging $950. They will include 7 hours of music, provide speaker and wireless mic for the ceremony and for toasts, they also will play the specific ceremony music I want involved to make the day special, they will do the intro if we want to do one, and on top of all that they will provide free dance floor lighting. I'm in WNY.

Ours is $750. 5 hours with uplighting 2 djs

Ours is $750 for 4 hours. We don't want or need an MC, the TVs, or anything else most wedding DJs have today. The company also is a preferred DJ for the restaurant.

Mine is $600!! I had sticker shock when searching for DJ's but I knew I wanted a good one. I kept looking and came across the one I booked and I'm so glad I did. He has great reviews and is providing 6 hours of service, 2 set ups, mics and a dance floor. I'm in Atlanta,Ga.

We paid $1500 for 5 hours. Totally worth it though, he was amazing!

I am also in OC. Our DJ and Photo Booth combo is $1600

I am in Alaska, our DJ is $2400 they offer one package for weddings, which is full day coverage no time limit, ceremony music, wireless mic (for officiant), reception and up lighting. The average price for Alaska through my research was $****.

I'm looking in Portland, Oregon and I've been running into 12-1500 for 6 hours. It includes up lighting, ceremony music, cocktail hour, and a projector for our slideshow.

I am getting married on a friday (I got like a $100 discount) for six hours of music and uplighting, we are paying our DJ $1,100.00 for everything.

I am in the inland empire, ca. I am paying 475 for 5hrs. That is just the reception.. no Uplights and such.

Ours is $800.
