play songs<\/a> one after another at a wedding, make the usual wedding announcements and also hype up the crowd when good songs come on, then you\u2019ll probably only be able to charge $900 as a maximum fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, if you provide a customizable experience for your clients, bring your own light show display, and offer a bespoke DJing performance, you can charge up to $3,000 for your services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As A DJ, you\u2019ll be more in demand during peak wedding season from May through to October and will be able to charge higher prices for your DJ services as more couples will be desperate to secure a DJ for their big day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, don\u2019t take advantage of this as if you charge beyond where your expertise and skills lie. You\u2019ll have some complaints from clients about your lack of experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are traveling far to DJ at a wedding, then make sure to factor in the cost of travel and expenses (gas, taxis, hotel, food) into your fees; otherwise, you could end up selling yourself short.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suppose a client tries to book you at the last minute for a wedding, but you have another wedding already booked the following day somewhere far away. In that case, you could offer your services at a higher rate for the inconvenience of having to rush around to your next gig.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re still really struggling to know how much you should charge to DJ at a wedding, then we\u2019d recommend looking up other DJs in your area or other DJing companies that offer this service and see what their prices are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many won\u2019t publicly list their prices, but others may, and this will help you gauge whether you should base your prices lower or higher. If there is lots of competition in your area, you may want to go for a slightly lower charge to make your services more competitive and entice more clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alternatively, you could be upfront and ask other DJs how much they charge for DJing at a wedding. Some may be open to discussion with you and happy to help, but don\u2019t be surprised if others are standoffish and refuse to discuss their prices with a competitor DJ.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
