dj cost (with extras)??

Marsha, on June 28, 2018 at 7:34 AM Posted in New Jersey Planning 0 24
The date is set and now I'm in the trenches getting DJ quotes. How much is everyone getting quoted for DJs? - including ceremony, cocktail hr and reception, throw in a photobooth and some fun lighting?
Thanks in advance!! 😊

    Hey, Marsha! Smiley heart

    DJ rates can really vary depending on the length of the ceremony and reception, their level of experience, etc.

    Have you looked through WeddingWire's Venue Search Tool? You can customize your search with various filters to find what you're looking for. Plus, all of the reviews are written by WeddingWire users, just like you! I'm sure you can find someone you like who offers all the extras! Smiley laugh

    1400 has been around the price I got for the very basics - 1 DJ no TVs or lighting. I got quoted $500 extra for uplighting and photobooths starting at 3 hours, $700 to $1000. We went with the basics. My future MIL may gift us a photo booth but if not I was going to a DIY photo booth with an iPad. Pretty much bounced around from DJ to DJ at one expo and around $1400 was the given price they all gave me, give and take.

    I know I'm a bit late to this post but I just booked my DJ! The package was $3200 including ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music, uplighting, and a photo booth. He also wanted to throw in live cocktail hour music for free but FH doesn't want it. I'm paying a lot less than I thought I would (I budgeted $5k) considering my DJ is so experienced and appears to be the best of the best.

    I found a dj for 1650 including monogram, dancing on the clouds and some starry effect on the ceiling. Also am outsourcing the photobooth from a company who exclusively is just booth rentals. They beat any competitors price by 10% and am getting a mirror photobooth for 4 hours, props etc for $495. Just did a bit of google searching. I’ve negotiated with all my vendors and got my dj, photo, video (including same day edit and drone footage) and photobooth for $5,789 including taxes)

    We hired Eclipse Entertainment out of the PA area - they cover PA and South Jersey, we paid 1600$ for 5 hours of DJ, Emcee, photobooth with props, attendant and personalization (they also gave us a book with a copy of the photos taken, and uplighting.

    My DJ is 1650, getting dancing on the clouds, bliss lights, gobo light w/ monogram and uplighting. We outsourced our photobooth from a different company who is strictly photo booths. For a Mirror Me booth for $495/ 4 hours because the company will beat anyone’s price by 10% and they beat another outsourced company. DJs wanted around $900 for basic booths and $12-1400 for mirror me...we got a steal. Don’t be afraid to negotiate with your vendors

    That’s about what they were when I booked. Idk if they still do it but they were advertising that they would beat any competitors price by 10%, and they did.
