    This is so subjective to location.

    Google is your friend here. "Average cost of (vendor) in X city" will go a long way for you...

    This depends on talent and location and wht they are supplying (and quoting prices given by friends really ins't that helpful.

    I am in NJ, outside NYC. The people I recommend, who are all amazing, are **** in season.

    Totally depends on where you are. In my area, someone decent starts around $1,000 on up to about $2,500.

    South Florida is about $700- I can get a DJ and Photo Booth for $1100 (super tempting)

    One of my friends actually owns a DJ company, i haven't talked to her about it, even though she has awesome employees.

    Another friend- Her husband is a DJ. I haven't discussed with hi, because i don't want friends working on my wedding day.

    Varies by area and services provided.

    We're the philly/SJ area and paid around 1500 for DJ (also Emcee) for 5.5 hours (ceremony through the end of the reception) uplifting and 3 hours of photo booth with attendant.

    The price just for 5 hours of DJ was 750

    You could always go to the vendor tab on here and see! Most the time it has a "most popular package $xxx" posted by their name without you even having to click on them. You could also take the advice of @bemyguest and just do a quick Google search!
