How Much Is a Wedding DJ?
At least once a week I answer the question “how much is a wedding DJ?”. We always get asked why a Wedding DJ is more than a party DJ.
Well, all DJs don’t fit all occasions. It’s not like buying an IPhone they are all the same and you might as well buy the cheapest.
Contrary to what many DJs will tell, you it’s also not like buying a car, there isn’t a Ford Fiesta price and a Ferrari price. A DJ provides a service and that service should make your wedding day special. You need to be confident in advance that they will deliver as promised. It should be fun and unique and full of great memories.
We all buy services all the time and we have different demands of them whether it’s a cup of tea in a roadside café or high tea at The Dorchester. The level of service and the expectation you choose for your wedding is down to you. Just remember the old “you get what you pay for”. Of course, there are some great DJs who undervalue their services or just do it as a hobby but there are many more who run unsustainable businesses.
Better Than Just Average
Personally, for a one-off event, I’d want better than average. Push the boat out and get the best I could afford. That doesn’t always mean the most expensive though! It means the best value and only you can place a value on service!
Find a DJ you like (speak to several, maybe even meet a few), someone who has photos of their wedding DJ kit in many different venues (so you know it’s theirs). Make sure they use written contracts and have backup plans in place for every eventuality!
Just don’t ask the first question “how much is a wedding DJ” without understanding why prices are different.
If in doubt drop me a line and I’ll point you in the right direction.
