DJ too expensive?

That seems on the higher end but like the others said it depends on the area. My DJ is $700 for 6 hours in Kansas City

Talent costs. So does setting up in multiiple locations....

it's a bit high, but not out of the realm of possibility for someone good.

Yes, and the date is going to make a difference.

That seems high to me. I am also in a low cost locale. However, I wonder what role the fact that it is NYE plays in that price. If you don't want all of the extras, and that's his standard package - go with someone else. You don't have any obligation to go with them just because you asked for a quote. It's simple to say ok thanks and move onto the next one.

I'm in NYC and my DJ was $2300 for his most expensive package. Your price would be normal in my area, I have no idea about AL. But like others, I'm also thinking it's because your wedding is on NYE.

Sounds expensive to me, but I also don't know where you are.

Metro Detroit area I am paying $900 for the ceremony/reception

I've been quoted such high prices honestly, so that seems average. The lowest I have been quoted was $2000, which is why I have not settled on a DJ as of yet.

We're paying $3,150 in CT for the whole day and dance floor lighting which I think is a little steep but not totally unreasonable given the reputation of this company. This was the DJ most recommended to us by others and we felt that having a good DJ would be worth it!

That does seem a bit high to me ask around your area and try to see if you get a better deal

We paid 740 for all day including uplighting. But we got a discount for a wedding I march and for booking early. They regularly charge 1400 for the same package. We live in DFW.

In Michigan I'm paying $900 for 6 hours of ceremony and reception for a highly rated DJ.

Most staff on NYE expect to be paid double. ....

Wow that is expensive but I don't know how many hours you're gonna need him but I'm using my DJ for ceremony & reception 5 hours on a Sunday I got 3 quotes $450, $795 and $1000 all good ones but I think it a lot of factors play a part in a price but still $2500 is expensive.

That is expensive! We are paying $900 for 5 hrs

For your date, sounds about right I would say. I know I should expect to pay more for a holiday and especially NYE.

I'm in Chicago suburbs and I am paying $1,000 for our DJ. He will have uplighting and we have him for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception
