How much does a DJ cost?

DJ prices are $300 to $800 on average for birthday parties, corporate events, bar/bat mitzvahs, and other private parties. Wedding DJ prices are $500 to $4,500. The average cost to hire a DJ depends on the event type and length, your location, the DJ's experience, and the package and add-on services you select. Average DJ prices for various event types are:

How much should you tip a DJ?

The standard tip for a DJ ranges from 15% to 20% of their total fee, depending on the even type, duration, and complexity, and the services provided. Consider tipping on the higher end of the range if the DJ kept the party alive, engaged the crowd, and ensured the event ran smoothly and on schedule.

In additional to tipping, express your gratitude by posting positive reviews online, referring the DJ to friends and family, and sharing their info on social media.

Citrus Heights, CA 91 friends 25 reviews 5.0 star rating 6/4/2018 In a stressful time such as your wedding, DJ Kris really was a pleasure to work with. We didn't have time to build a playlist but he took care of it with some small tips from us. Event went great, I have nothing bad to say about him. The music was good, the lights were a plus, and he was very accommodating. Thanks DJ Kris!
