Costs of DJs differ depending on the DJ. Get a DJ hire quote from the DJ that you want at your event before you make the booking. If you think it is too much, or perhaps not competitive, then get another quote. Only get quotes from DJs who are recommended to you though. There is no point in booking a DJ who is cheap but not very experienced. Depending on the event you are holding, perhaps a wedding or a birthday party celebration, you want a good DJ. You want someone who plays fabulous music, who has excellent equipment and who is reliable. You also want someone who can read a crowd, play the right kind of music and know when to speed things up or slow things down. Plus make any necessary announcements.

Choosing a DJ or a live band
If you are looking for a DJ for hire then you have probably already looked into the options. The options are playing your own music, which is not an option at all, getting a DJ or hiring a live band. A live band can be expensive. It might be your first choice although there is a huge difference between a live band and a DJ. DJs have great playlists and spin music, all genres of music. Most live bands have a specific genre of music and may not give you the variety that you want for your event. And of course there is the cost involved although sometimes a really good DJ costs the same as a live band. Book the right kind of music for your event is the bottom line, and book the music, the DJ or band, that fits within your budget.
Plan your event carefully and book your DJ well in advance. Get the DJ hire quote, pay a deposit and get on with your planning.
