FACTORS AFFECTING THE COST OF A WEDDING DJ
Hiring a DJ might not be the first thing on your wedding planning list, but it is one of the necessities that you must have at your wedding. A DJ or a music artist is necessary to positively impact the tone and the fun elements of your party. And if you have looked into hiring a DJ for your wedding or for any other events or parties you would already know that DJs don’t come cheap. DJs know how to run any event smoothly and keep the guests entertained for the entire duration.
Hiring a DJ is not as simple as it sounds. There are a lot of variables that one needs to keep an account for, before hiring them. Depending upon your requirements and the length of the wedding, DJs may quote their fees. They may either quote a price for the entire event or may give you a price breakup for each service they are going to provide. The factors that usually affect the cost of DJs are the length of the set, size and setting of the venue and any additional services. A long wedding reception that goes late into the night would require more than one DJ, which means higher cost. Similarly, a bigger venue will require additional speakers and better sound equipment to properly serve the crowd, which will increase the value of DJing. Many DJs also offer special effects and lighting services which requires access to specialized DJ equipment and software. These additional services are most likely to increase your budget. The cost also depends on how far the DJ has to travel for performance. Many DJs factor in the travel costs in their overall budget. You need a DJ near your wedding venue if you are looking to reduce the costs of your wedding entertainment. And last but not least, the popularity of DJs also has a bearing on their expenses. Cheap DJs are usually lesser-known ones.
