HOW MUCH ARE WEDDING DJS?

$500 to $900

• Hobby
• Little Experience
• Limited / Low Quality Gear
• No Planning Resources
• Limited Music Knowledge
• No Contract

In this price range you can expect a DJ that does weddings on the side of their normal day job. The experience they have is typically very low – Often times this leads to more headaches or frustrations as they are not able to help you work through some of the hiccups one comes across in planning their wedding.

Their equipment may not support your needs, presentation isn’t always great, and on top of this you may not be getting who you talked to. The big Maine DJ companies often give you a DJ at a lesser value than you paid. The owner needs to make their cut, too.

Finally, what’s worse than a vendor backing out of your wedding because they found a higher paying gig? We see this a lot… And for the couples that spent this amount of money are often looking at spending the same amount or more again because their original DJ backed out and disappeared.

Yikes… We always say “buy once and cry once”.. you won’t have to worry about our DJs disappearing. (On purpose or by chance)

$1,000 to $2,000

• Somewhere between a full time gig and a side hustle.
• More experience in a wider variety of events.
• Limited, yet better quality, equipment.
• Some or little tangible planning resources.
• Decent Music Knowledge
• Simple Contracts Expected

In this range you are looking at a more experienced DJ who will likely have better equipment to suit your needs. Their experience will help answer your most common wedding planning questions but will leave you wanting more as their tangible resources are going to be very limited.

It’s still questionable if you will receive a contract from a lot of wedding DJs in this price range. It’s reasonable to expect one from the DJs on the $2,000 end as this is probably their full time line of work.. if not it’s the lions share.

Fewer hobby DJs here for sure. But if you’re looking for a higher caliber skill set you may not find that here…

Do you expect a fade in and fade out.. hard stop and hard starts with each song? Silence between them… or a mumbler that’s all muffled through the speakers? DJs that attend seminars and are constantly learning new skills and this includes their MC skills. This brings us to the DJs in….

$2,000 – $3,000

• Full Time Work
• … Means a wealth of experience.
• Higher quality equipment with an array of backup options on site.
• Tangible, in hand, resources on the higher end of this spectrum.
• Up-To-Date Music Knowledge and Experience
• Immersive contracts that protect you and the DJ from a poor experience.

Now we are talking Maine Wedding DJs who are set up to help you succeed and party like you want. Why would a DJ cost this much? Holy f that is a lot of money!

Understandably, having covered the other 2 tiers you can get an understanding of what a professional DJ does for you… but here’s some more to consider:

How much a wedding DJ costs includes:

• Tangible resources to help you plan your wedding including music choices, other frequently asked questions, and timeline creation.
• A wealth of experience that will make your day less stressful, more fun, and laid back.
• Skillset – there is nothing worse than the fade in and out DJs. How about blending music from one song to the next, fun word play between songs, build ups and remixes creating an undeniable energy on the dance floor?
• Wouldn’t it be nice to know your DJ and have your DJ know you? As professional Wedding DJs in Maine we take a ton of pride in making a relationship with our clients… to feel more like friends.

$3,000 +
