On average, professional DJs cost $400-$600 for a 4-hour event. This price will vary depending on the location, travel distance, the DJ’s years of experience, and any other event specifics. Some DJs serve as an emcee for the event as well, which may affect the price.
DJs are most commonly booked for 4-hour gigs. However, they are often willing and able to work events of all lengths. Of course, the longer the event the higher the price. One benefit of a DJ over a band is they can take breaks without a disruption in music, so you don’t have to worry about any lulls. Be sure to provide them with water and other refreshments though!
While DJs don’t need quite as much room as a full band, you should still allow them plenty of space for their equipment. Ideally, you should give the DJ an area that is about 6x10 feet in size. Place them to the side of your dance floor or main event space, and make sure your guests have plenty of room to maneuver around them without touching any of their equipment. Discuss the exact needs with your DJ before the event to make sure you can accommodate their specific setup.
Many DJs can come fully equipped with their own audio equipment including speakers, as well as lighting equipment if needed. If your event venue has its own sound system and lighting equipment, you should discuss that with your DJ in advance to see how it will work with their preferred setup. Be sure all the details relating to what equipment will be used and who will provide it are covered in your booking agreement.
DJs will handle their own setup and tear down, but it’s your responsibility to make sure they have adequate time and space to do so. Discuss the venue parameters with them in advance, including loading entrances and electricity sources. Ask the DJ how long their setup usually takes, and then figure out the optimal time for them to arrive so that they are completely set up and have time to check audio quality and lighting before your event starts.
The choice between a DJ or live band is entirely yours to make. While live bands offer a unique experience and a show for guests to watch or engage with, a DJ is often more affordable and versatile. DJs aren’t limited by a specific setlist – they have a whole array of great music at their fingertips depending on their setup. They can quickly switch from Top 40 hits to rock ballads to hip hop favorites to country line dances, and even take song requests!
A professional DJ is perfect for any event that would benefit from having live music entertainment – which is most events! DJs are most frequently hired for wedding receptions, proms, and corporate events. But they are also great for private parties, festivals, community events, and more.
