Disc Jockeys - The Affordable Way of Entertaining

When it comes time to figure out how to best entertain your guests, you're going to have to first determine how much you want to spend on entertainment. Knowing your budget has to be the first step. See "Wedding on a Budget".

Understand this fact. The average price of a disc jockey (DJ) for a 5-hour reception is $1,250 and the average price of a basic 4-piece band for a 5-hour reception is $7,000. At the end of the day, this decision is probably the most important part of entertaining your guests. A good versus bad entertainer can be the difference between hearing from your guests "I never want this wedding to end!" or "mind if we take off early?"

In the 1990s, wedding bands ranged from $2,000 - $4,000. Now of course they are much more expensive. These days, couples are booking DJ's over pricy bands, because there are more affordable, and they get so much more for their money with a DJ.

Technology has exploded in this area which is a huge plus for DJ's! With the improvements in audio players and software, modern day DJ's can store thousands of songs on their laptops, instead of the old-days where they had to carry around cases of compact discs. Also, sound-mixing software is state-of-the-art and since DJ's pride themselves on their talent, you always know they'll have the best mixing software on the market!

It's no secret that deciding on a DJ is the most affordable way, but you do have to make sure you get one who can work the floor well. Inquire on our DJ Vendors and make sure you describe the type of music you're looking for in an entertainer so we can get you in touch with the one that suits you best!
