I got a few offers from various DJ's, and they all charge from $600(after discounts,excl.taxes) and up to $1000.

Are those prices reasonable, if they are there from 6pm-1am???

It really depends on your area and the expertise of the DJ. The ones that i recommend are all between ****.

Right now the DJ I am leaning towards will be $600 for 6 hours, he is throwing in an extra hour for free because it is on a Sunday, and there is a $100 discount from WW, otherwise it would have been $700!

I would say 1000 would be cheap for the amount of hours you want
