Rates for DJ services vary greatly, ranging from $1,000.00 to $3,500.00 with an average of $1,500.00 for a 4-hour booking. The best price is not always the best deal, especially if you are planning a wedding.

No matter what the event is, we will always ask you how you would like us to dress.
We assume formal dress for every wedding that we do. If you are planning a themed wedding and require us to wear something other than a suit or tuxedo, we’ll be happy to accommodate your request.
Punctuality is a necessity. Mike’s Music allows an hour and a half to two hours for setup for every wedding or event. For example, if your start time is seven o’clock, we’ll arrive at five or five thirty to setup our equipment. This allows us time to speak to the coordinator at the venue, go over specific details, and do a sound check. If we are providing other services, we base the set-up time on the amount of equipment we have and the load in details.
Absolutely! Mike’s Music can be hired for any of our services separately. To receive the best price for our entertainment services like photo booths, lighting, and game rentals, it is best to book our DJ services too. There is a discount on these extras if you hire our DJ along with any other rentals. Be sure to look at our packages for the best option for your wedding.
