Why Do Some DJs Cost More Than Others?

If you've been looking for a disk jockey for your wedding reception, or any other event, then there's little doubt that you've discovered the huge gulf between various prices. It's blaringly obvious that some DJs are just much more expensive than others, and you might think that you're being cheated if you pay for one of the more expensive ones over their cheaper counterparts. You probably assume that there might be some difference in quality of services provided, but you may not believe it will be that much. Well, this is, unfortunately, just not true. The simple fact of the matter is that you get what you pay for.

Think of it like this. If you've ever looked at audio equipment, specifically that which a DJ would use at a wedding reception, then there's no doubt that you know that this equipment can really start to get expensive. It isn't that the more expensive DJ is charging you more just because they can, it's that the equipment they will be using is greater and the price of the equipment they will be using is higher. In other words, if you don't want your wedding reception DJ to play your music through a tin speaker, you're probably going to have to pay a bit more.

Another thing that you're paying for is the quality of the DJ, the person themselves. A good DJ isn't just going to show up with a generic playlist and let the music play on and on. You could do that yourself. A good DJ is going to spend a lot of time in the weeks before the wedding reception trying to find just the perfect music to play for your wedding. So, again, you're paying for quality, not just a random price hike.

We provide Illinois, Iowa, and the quad cities with superior disk jockey services, and the simple fact of the matter is that we are one of the more expensive providers out there. What this means for you is that you are investing in a DJ that is going to put time and energy into making your wedding reception special. On top of that, they're going to have great sound equipment; no one is going to be standing around at your reception straining their ears to try and hear the music. You're going to be getting clear, strong sound that will make your special day even more memorable. If you're going to bother having a DJ in the first place, you might as well go with the best. It's a bit pricey, but it's even pricier to waste money on a bad show.
