What DJs and bands charge -- and for how many hours.

The package price is for a set number of hours. Overtime, ceremony sound, lighting and travel are the lines that move it.

83%of 275 djs / bands' websites we read publish no price at all.
$1,200median published “starting at” across 31 djs / bands nationally (quartiles $600–$1,850). A floor, not a price.
47%of 301 vendors we wrote to for real couples replied; 73 gave a full all-in number.

Counted 2026-09-15; websites read through 2026-09-15. No vendor named. The full report.

The five questions we ask every dj / band

What the website says instead of a number:

“depends on the package”

  1. Are you available on the date?
  2. What's the price for a {hours}-hour reception?
  3. Is ceremony or cocktail-hour coverage extra?
  4. What's the overtime rate?
  5. Are lighting, MC duties and travel included?

Asked in one email, in plain words, with your date and your numbers in it. Then chased -- most of the real numbers come from the second or third try, not the first.
