First, let me explain my rates. I have been DJing weddings since 1982. I truly enjoy what I do and believe that the service I offer my clients is a great value. Weddings are expensive. Here is my philosophy: Bad food lasts an hour, bad music lasts 4 hours, bad pictures last forever. Spend your money on a great photographer. Those are the memories that will last forever!
For events in the Central Missouri area I charge $395.00 for up to six hours of music. Not setting up and tearing down. That is for 6 hours of actual music, from the time guests arrive till the end of the reception.
Ceremony music if needed and in addition to the six hour time frame is $50.00
If the event is in St Louis or Kansas City, or more than a hour away from the Columbia, MO area there is a nominal charge for travel. I want to keep weddings affordable.
