One of the most important aspects to your wedding day for you and your guests is hands down the wedding entertainment! The music and energy in your room can literally make or break your event. That's why choosing a wedding DJ that best fits your needs and style is significant. Our goal is simple - pay attention to the finite details and deliver a professional, fun and memorable experience that is handcrafted for you and your guests. Let us break down the cost, hone in on your budget, and help you make some decisions regarding your overall wedding experience.
As soon as you book your wedding venue, is ideally when you should book your wedding DJ. Something you don't want to do is wait months before your wedding day to book as dates and event hosts book quickly. Click here to see some of our talented event hosts for your day.
Pricing for wedding DJ's in New Jersey and New York can range from company to company and you may be wondering how there could be such a variance. The cost depends on the length of time, what kind of equipment is used, their level of experience, and how many add-on services you request. Our event host + dj teams at Eclipse Events for a 4 hour event start at $2,500 and goes up from there. We do offer discounts for Winter Weddings (Jan-Mar), Sundays, Afternoon Weddings (reception ends at or before 5 p.m.) and military service members. This price comes with a two man team; your event host and your DJ, which will work side by side throughout your day. Your event host will make announcements during formalities and throughout your night and will make sure everything is running smoothly for you. Our DJ works in conjunction with our event hosts while also ensuring that everyone is on the dance floor and having the time of their lives.
While the cost may seem overwhelming at first, quality, experience and professionalism matters. If there's one word of advice to offer when choosing your wedding DJ it would be this: Leave the entertainment to us and relax knowing that we have the expertise and professionalism to take care of everything.
To figure out how much DJ's usually charge, consider that the prices can go higher if you choose additional add on's such as:
