Tom D. says, "Showtime DJs is THE BEST DJ and would highly recommend Them for your wedding. He kept the dance floor packed all night and we received so many compliments about the music at our wedding. Our guests didn't want to leave the dance floor! He also did bistro lighting for us that looked beautiful (at the Kellogg House venue). His pricing is fair, and he really listened to what my husband and I wanted for the music & timeline at our wedding. A couple of my friends at the wedding even asked him for his business card for their weddings- he is THAT good. Highly recommend!" Read more

Your DJ questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

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:

  • Wedding: $500 to $4,500

DJs charge $75 to $200 per hour for most parties and corporate events and $150 to $300+ per hour for weddings. Prices for bar mitzvahs and quinceañeras can often be as high as or higher than their wedding prices because these parties often include extra services like giveaways, MC services, a photo booth, and more.

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.

DJ Bob was the perfect balance of professional and fun. He did a great job at setting the mood throughout the evening and getting the party started when the time came. He walked me through the details, coordinated with other entertainers and vendors. He was great with punctuality and response time which overall made it easy to host my event. I look forward to working with him again and highly recommend him.
