Answering your questions about hiring a wedding DJ
We know that hiring a DJ likely isn’t something you do very often (unless you throw a lot of parties – in which case, let’s be friends!). So, naturally, you have questions about what it actually looks like to hire a DJ for your wedding. Read on for answers to our most common questions.
What’s included in my wedding DJ/MC package?
Your DJ will provide audio services for your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception. We provide lapel microphones for your ceremony officiant, wireless microphones for speeches, a top-of-the-line speaker system, and dance lighting. Your DJ also serves as Master of Ceremony (MC) and makes announcements as needed to guide the flow of the entire event.
We can also provide a photo booth with optional printer, as well as uplighting to really set the mood. Check out our Pricing page for details on these add-ons.
Where are you located? Will you travel for our wedding?
Setting up for a remote mountain wedding ceremony near Buena Vista, Colorado
We are located in Denver, CO, and will travel throughout Colorado for your wedding! All locations within 2 hours of Denver are free of charge. We regularly DJ weddings in Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder, Breckenridge, and more.
For locations over 2 hours from Denver, we charge a travel fee of $0.80/mile. If lodging is not provided, we charge a lodging fee dependent on the location of your event.
We can even provide music and microphones for remote mountain wedding ceremonies that don’t have access to power with our compact electric generator. Let us know if this is something you need!
What types of music can you DJ? Can we choose the songs?
We pride ourselves on DJing any type of dance party, whether you want classic wedding hits, Bollywood tunes, an EDM/electronic club vibe, or anything in between. Same goes for cocktail hour and dinner music – we have a variety of curated playlists based on the vibe you’re looking for and are happy to make recommendations or help you craft your own.
We provide each of our couples with a wedding questionnaire & itinerary form as soon as a contact is signed, so you can begin working on it as soon as you’d like. This document includes a must-play & do-not-play song list and space to note your music choices for all aspects of the day, from ceremony songs, the grand entrance, first dances, etc.
Not sure what music to play? We’re happy to provide recommendations based on the hundreds of weddings we’ve had the pleasuring of DJing.
Do you offer any extras, like a photo booth?
Yes! Our photo booth option includes a photo booth kiosk, iPad, stand, attendant, backdrop (silver, gold, or black), silly props (sunglasses, leis, and signs), digital prints, and on-site printer with unlimited prints! For a discounted option, you can forgo the attendant and on-site printer for digital-only prints.
We also offer uplighting, which is, in our humble opinion, an unsung hero of the wedding add-ons. We place the uplights throughout the event space and coordinate them with your wedding colors, and turn them to “party mode” during the reception to help create a club-like atmosphere in the venue.
What’s the average cost of hiring a wedding DJ?
Our packages are priced based on two factors: the length of time of your event, and whether or not you’d like add-ons like a photo booth or uplighting. All packages start with a minimum of 4 hours, which begins when we start playing music (for example, when pre-ceremony music begins).
We also offer discounts for weekday weddings (Monday-Thursday) as well as Fridays and Sundays.

What's your booking process like?
Glad you asked! For our booking we create custom contracts outlining the location, beginning and end times, and total cost of services for your event. At the time of booking we require a 25% booking deposit. The remaining balance is due by your event date.
