Rachel B. says, "Our wedding planner referred us to DJ Robert. She said 'most expensive but the best' & for a few hundred dollars extra, we got the best DJ I've ever heard or seen at any wedding I've ever attended. His guidance and preparation was impeccable & he made the transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner seamless, often getting groups dancing during our cocktail hour, but after dinner he really shone. His audio quality & music choices (besides our playlist) were on point & when he announced the last half hour, he let it all out & no one wanted to go home. And we didn't, he said he didn't want to either & when the venue insisted we do, we were exhausted. My guests were blown away. I highly recommend Robert." Read more

We always go that one step more for each client. Creating the perfect day that is a reflection on each Client, and not doing a "one package fits all" Our food is made in our kitchen from scratch, that is why we only do a limited amount of events each week. I would rather do two parties perfect than do 10 events that were not a reflection of the client, from food to decor. We do our own desserts, h-d we decorate our food tables, and we are a complete caterer right down to the bar....

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:

DJs charge $75 to $200 per hour for most parties and corporate events and $150 to $300+ per hour for weddings.

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.

Everything. Robert's planning template kept the schedule logical & moving forward; his handling of introductions & our music list was professional & our allowance of requests by guests was met with a smile. He's obviously a former club mixer, amazing DJ who can read a dance floor & keep it going! And as advertised, his sound system was much appreciated by us all.
