I have noticed some DJs here and on face book talk price numbers and consider prices north of $1000 to be low end, and say that if a DJ is only commanding a certain price, then they really are a Low End Budget DJ regardless location and market. I talked to a DJ a couple years ago who only books $2,000 to $2800 events, and he said that anything below $1,600 as far as he was concerned was a low end wedding, and he wouldn't do them. Now, this DJ only books like 5 or 6 weddings a year now from what I understand, but he won't book below $2,000. I hear His wife makes like 300K a year, so he doesn't have to take much work either...
Don't take location/market into account because many argue that high prices can be obtained in any market nation wide. Consider pricing for the entire country.
I talked to my brother, and he says that is absolutely absurd, and that $1,200 to $1,600 is great money to DJ a 5 to 6 hour wedding, and should be considered high end, or at least its the upper cusp of a Mid Range DJ price to do a wedding generally speaking. So what's right, and what's wrong?
...What is your take on it?
