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 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.

The owner, Chef Wesley is an amazing chef! I've known him for years. He with his catering team are amazing. What I love about Chef Wesley is he has an eye for details to the point that his work is work literally becomes an artform. He's even given me fun ways to eat foods that I didn't like at first. That is a big deal for me. He goes for nothing less than his and his team's best! I'd recommend Chef Wesley, and Scrumptious Meals and More!
