What Type of DJ Should I Hire?
The cost of hiring a wedding DJ can vary based on several factors including the type of Dj desired, location of your wedding venue, event date, venue size guest count as well as the variety of services or add-ons required. Most DJ Services can be categorized into the following three tiers.
