As a wedding DJ, I always enjoy talking to married couples, especially about their wedding experiences. Even couples who have been married for 25+ years will often look back in horror as they explain what went wrong on that special day. Surprisingly often, I hear “ Our wedding was great, but our DJ…awful!” When planning and budgeting, many brides lump the importance of the wedding entertainment into the same category as things like the tablecloths and draping. Trust and believe, I’ve never heard a single complaint where the wedding was great, but the tablecloths were all wrong and ruined everything! In 25 years, no one will remember the tablecloths, but they absolutely will remember the experience they had with their wedding DJ. In an effort to educate you so that you make your wedding entertainment choice a detail of higher importance than tablecloths and drapes, allow me to highlight 5 Things That Can Go Wrong On Your Wedding Day DJ Because of Your DJ!! 1.

When it comes to determining average pricing for DJ Services, I feel like finding the “right” answer to this question is kind of like finding a needle in a haystack. Considering that many service providers don’t list their prices on their websites, and that Gig Salad, Thumbtack, and Wedding Wire, etc. will really only show you average price ranges, it can be difficult to determine if having a DJ for your next event is going to even fit into your budget. Frustrating. I know. So in this article, I’m going to try to give you a better understanding of how much it costs to hire a DJ. We will look at how the pricing spectrum differs between different professionals, how Event Type makes a difference in pricing, and how Event Timing, Location, and Equipment Needs all factor into determining price when booking a DJ for your next event. 1. Different Professionals Will Command Different Prices.  This is a really important concept to understand. Much like any market, there will b...

Now, this article is definitely not about a DJ – though DJ Depression would be a great name for an Emo DJ. No. What I’m talking about is that crummy feeling that we all run into from time to time. It’s the one that makes you consider selling your gear, giving up your dream, taking a day job, etc. It’s the inner voice that tells you that you aren’t good enough and makes you question whether you even belong in the game. I truly believe it’s something that most of us go through, and as a full time DJ or artist, I believe that you will continue to go through varying forms of this over the course of your career. So maybe you’re having a slow month. Maybe you’re scrolling through your social media and noticing how all of your peers are working, but you aren’t. A lot of us get like this when we aren’t booked around holidays. It’s that #fomo that makes you think, why didn’t I get that gig? I could do that. It’s often prompted by the inner voice that pushes us to judge ourselves a...
