    Hello ladies

    I've searched through and can't find anyone paying more than £500 for their DJ in the evening. Taking this into consideration H2B and I don't think we should be paying more than £1000 for a harpist for the ceremony and wedding breakfast and then a DJ for the evening.

    Music is important to H2B so sorting this is his job and a miracle has happened and he has got motivated (think I have Kate and Will to thank lol) however we are both clueless on this topic so need a little guidance please!

    Your welcome hunni :-)

    The most expensive dj ive found was 455 but thats round here so not sure about your area?
    As for the harpist like i said my string quartet is 355 but the most expensive has been 700, so i wouldnt pay more then that for one harpist.

    hey,

    I have a few DJ friends and most of them charge between £300 to £500 for 6 hours play time. and our venue put starting price for a harpist in their brochure as £150 but that was for ceremony. Hope that helps a bit

    Harpists vary but i have found one not too far from you who will do the ceremony and the wedding breakfast for £300. Our DJ cost £225 for 5 hours. So based on that you should easily get a package way under 1K. Good Luck xxx

    My DJ is £200 and the string quartet is £460 for the ceremony and drinks reception so I have to agree with everyone else, £1000 is a lot of money. xxx

    Our DJ is included in our package, and thankfully h2b knows him! £1000 does seem like a lot of money though - hope you find one cheaper x

    when we enquired about a dj it was the dearest in the area at 350 so that was the max but we went for a band instead. We enquired into a harpist and for 2 hours it would be 3oo ish. We are having a SQ from 11.30 until 5pm with breaks at 760 so this is for 4 ppl so divide that up for the time i guess?
