    Ours comes with our package but I know if you were to hire one for a wedding it is more expensive than for a party. I can get one for £120 for party but say the magic word "wedding" and they bump the price up a bit, x

    Our venue package has optional choice of their resident dj but he is charging £300 for 5 hours i thought it was a little steep, but not booked a dj for a wedding before so wouldnt know.

    ours comes free with a package but if we didnt have the package it would be £300 from 7-1 but we did get a guy for our engagement party and he only charged £160. but it does seem like if you mention weddings then they will hike the price up!!

    Our DJ was recommended by the hotel and also my hairdresser - I prefer going off people's recommendations as it's so much money to pay out to be disappointed...having a rubbish DJ is my worst nightmare...

    Our's is costing £270 to play from 7.30pm - 1.30am. There's another post here I'll bump for you hun giving advice about costs etc.

    I guess its about the average, trouble is its just like what someone else said, as soon as you say wedding, the retailers eyes light up and so do the prices. : ) x

    Our quote is £1500, but that's for 7pm to 2am and includes an LED sparkley dancefloor, lights that move in time to the music (which h2b seems to think is vitally important!), uplighters around the room in our chosen colour, and an absolutely massive playlist. It looks more like a nightclub set up than a dj. Going to try and get him down a bit lower though I think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x

    We're paying £200 from about 7.30 onwards. We did get quotes from £150 to £500 though, depending on what we wanted.

    That seems a lot Star12345 but you are getting alot alhough no idea why your h2b thinks Led lights are vitally important lol, be good if you could get it for less though : )

    Kaya - Oh no what happened ?

    Mym - £200 seems impressive bearing in mind you were getting high quotes too, I guess its what you said, depending on what you have, think i will have to do some looking around as what we have been quoted is just for the Dj. : )

    Star12345 that's a lot. I know a great DJ who will give you exactly that for around £200 (plus travel depending on where you are in the country). He's a great DJ too. If you want details please email me.
