Wedding DJ Average Rate In 2013 - Are You Charging Enough?

What's your Mobile DJ rate for weddings?

A recent blog article published by The Knot regarding the average cost of a wedding in 2013 suggests the average DJs rate was $1,083. That's a U.S. nationwide average, so it's safe to assume many Mobile DJs charge significantly more.

If you're not already charging at least $1,083 for your Wedding DJ package, why not?

Adding additional services to your DJ repertoire is one way you can increase your bottom line. The majority of your wedding clients, namely brides, all want the same thing — a unique and memorable event the guest will talk about forever. More options in your DJ arsenal means more package upgrades you can potentially tack on to make a unique and exciting wedding and reception.

Here are a few options to add to your Wedding DJ packages so you can charge more:

Adding a nice lighting package is an excellent option, with Uplighting being all the craze today. Uplighting can be visually stunning, and not all that expensive to pull off. Check out this video from DJJERMUSIC for some great options Chauvet DJ has available that won't break the bank:
