How to pay less
- Booking the wedding DJ for the evening only, with no ceremony or dinner music, can cut the fee.
- Skipping the lighting package, or using the venue's own lighting, costs less than full uplighting and effects.
- If the venue has a built-in sound system, ask whether the DJ can use it and lower the price.
- A weekday or off-season wedding may cost less than a peak Saturday, so it helps to ask the DJ about other dates.
Before you book
- Information about the venue, including layout and sound requirements.
- A schedule of key moments during the event that require music or announcements.
- Access to the venue prior to the event for setup.
- Ask whether the DJ has played at your venue before, or will visit it, so the setup and sound suit the room.
- Check what happens if equipment fails on the night, and whether the DJ brings backup gear.
- Share the songs you want played and any you want avoided, along with your first dance song.
