At Velvet & Lace, our prices for a wedding DJ range from $1,299 – $1,599, depending on the date and specific requirements.

A wedding DJ can make or break your reception, and the cost of a DJ often reflects the quality of the experience. A lower price does not necessarily mean a better deal. A great wedding DJ does more than just play music:

• Announce your grand entrance

• Coordinate guests for toasts and dinner

• Organize and announce speeches

• Lead special dances

• Act as a wedding coordinator

• Keep your reception on schedule

• Communicate with vendors and guests

Investing 8-10% of your wedding budget on your DJ is a great value, considering that the DJ is responsible for handling around 80% of your wedding reception. When deciding how much to allocate for entertainment, consider how much is at stake if the entertainment falls short of expectations.

A wedding DJ’s primary role is to ensure that you and your guests have fun. They accomplish this by keeping your wedding reception running smoothly and keeping the dance floor lively. Our professional DJs at Velvet & Lace are skilled at reading the room to ensure guests of all ages enjoy the music. Additionally, our wedding DJs serve as Master of Ceremonies, guiding the event and making sure your other vendors work together seamlessly to bring your wedding vision to life.scription text goes here

Professional wedding DJs keep your wedding on track by coordinating with other vendors, making announcements, and handling introductions. This is not a task for an amateur—hiring a professional DJ from Velvet & Lace is essential.

• How much experience do you have?

• Have you ever played at my venue?

• What is your backup plan if you get sick or can’t make it?

• Does the DJ serve as the Host / MC?

• How do you get people to dance?

• What do you do if a guest requests a “weird” song?

• Can I plan the details of my reception with you personally?

• Can you provide sound and music for my ceremony?

Having a Backup Plan.

One of the most crucial aspects to inquire about before hiring a DJ is their backup plan in case of an emergency.

• Backup sound gear on-site in the event of an equipment malfunction

• A DJ on-call in case of emergencies or unforeseen events

At Velvet & Lace, we take this seriously. Emergencies happen, and a DJ may not be able to attend your wedding due to unforeseen circumstances. A professional company like ours will have a well-thought-out emergency plan, including paid DJs on-call and ready to step in. Remember, the worst possible scenario is for your DJ not to show up or for their equipment to fail during your reception.
