Please look at this chart from Modern Bride magazine, while it
was made about the wedding industry it applies to all parties.
It is very interesting that of all the costs of your party, the
thing that costs the least amount of money is likely to be
remembered the most. Every party is different, therefore the
prices for each party will vary. Many people ask: “What is your
price?” for their first question when interviewing a prospective
disc jockey service.
This is not the best way to start your interview.
(check out our “Checklist” for ideas about what you might want
at your party)
If a company said that they would do your party for $25, would
you not be suspicious and leery? Of course you would, while
price is important, it should not be the determining factor. The
old adage applies here, “Cheaper is not better”. You want to get
all of the information and the most for your money. One
potential DJ may charge less because the company is less
experienced or is not as well equipped to handle your function.
Some DJ services charge more because their service has a great
reputation and may have many bookings. Companies like Jonathan
Productions may also have an exceptional sound and light show
and many years of experience. Remember the law of supply and
demand. Shop around and look for the best overall package that
fits you.
We want you to find the professional that is right for you!
