Wedding DJ Prices in Jacksonville, Florida

If you’re searching “wedding DJ prices in Jacksonville”, you’re probably asking two things:

1. What does it cost?

2. How do I avoid paying for nonsense?

   
   

This guide breaks down what impacts pricing, what you should expect to be included, and how to compare quotes properly, without accidentally hiring someone who “DJ’s” from a laptop balanced on a chair.

What affects wedding DJ pricing?

1) Hours of coverage

More hours usually means:

• more planning

• more set-up

• more performance time

• more teardown time

2) What parts of the day are covered

• Ceremony audio and mics

• Cocktail hour

• Reception

• Late-night add-on time

3) MC services and experience

A DJ who can MC properly (announcements, timing, flow) is not the same as someone who says “okay guys, let’s gooooo” every 90 seconds.

4) Equipment quality and backups

Pricing changes depending on:

• sound system size

• number of microphones

• backup equipment

• lighting (if offered)

5) Travel and logistics

Weddings outside Jacksonville, such as St. Augustine and surrounding areas, may involve extra travel time and planning.

What should be included in a good DJ quote?

Use this as your comparison checklist:

• Planning call(s) before the wedding

• A clear timeline plan for the reception

• Professional sound system and microphones

• Set-up and teardown

• DJ performance for the agreed hours

• MC services if requested

• Backup equipment plan

• Clear policy for emergencies and replacements

• Proof of reviews and recent weddings

DJ packages vs custom quotes

Some companies do:

• set packages (simple and easy)

• custom quotes (better for mixed coverage like ceremony + reception + photo booth)

Either is fine, as long as what’s included is crystal clear.

Photo booth pricing

Adding a photo booth typically depends on:

• hours of operation

• print vs digital

• templates and custom overlays

• props and attendant

• backdrop options

If you want the best value, bundling DJ + photo booth is often the smartest route.

Questions to ask before you book

• Is the DJ also the MC, and what’s their style?

• How many weddings have you done in North Florida?

• What’s your backup plan if equipment fails?

• Do you have a backup DJ if there’s an emergency?

• How do you handle requests and do-not-play lists?

• What time do you arrive to set up?

• Are you insured?
