How much would you pay for a DJ

[Fish the Mod]

How much would you pay for a mobile disco say for a Wedding or a large family party at either a hotel or a church hall.

[natalie_1982]

I'm paying �200 for 5 hours for a disco at a wedding reception.

[natalie_1982]

Oh, and that's at a social club but the hall hire is separate (�125 for 5 hours and includes hire of the bar) and then obv food costs aswell.

Id look to spend from about 150 upwards,but shop around and haggle.

[andy-hughes]

Around �150 is about the rate, so I;d expect natalie's guy to be very good for that money.

Go by word of mouth reputation, and try and see the DJ work in advance of your occasion - it can be ruined by some chancer who plays ance music to his mates all night when you have a mixed audience.

If you have any specific requests in terms of style of music, or requests, sort them out in advance, and on no account pay until the end of the night. A depoosit is acceptable, but no more than 20%.

Good luck!

If you live in central Scotland phone my son. He'll do it for �100.

you could expect to pay around �150 - �200. make sure you ask if they have the sort of music you want. you don't want to be stuck with jivebunny all night!!!!!
