Wedding DJ Cost Houston
So how much does a wedding DJ cost in Houston Texas? Well, I’ve written a full article explaining the ins and outs of how much a wedding DJ costs in the Houston Area. While all DJs will charge a price depending on their experience and the services they offer, the article will give you a general idea of what you should expect to pay for your wedding DJ. In my experience, you can expect to pay anywhere from $800 to approximately $1,200 for a Professional DJ to play your favorite tunes at your wedding reception.

The easiest way to Plan your Bilingual Wedding Timeline
This is for the wedding Reception Only and a 6-7 Hour Wedding Reception. This video has been pretty popular on Youtube and I just released it on November 10, 2021. This is based on what I, as a DJ, help my clients plan and ONLY covers what pertains to the Wedding DJ, not what a wedding planner would cover. This is based in Houston Weddings. https://www.fhpentertainment.com/blog/5794/how-to-plan-a-mexican-wedding-reception-timeline.

A Wedding DJ is just music.
Music is a big part of the wedding reception, and it does make sense that people think that the DJ is only music. That’s not entirely true. Now I could make a long list of everything a DJ does, but that would be pretty boring.
Music will set the mood of the event. During the Ceremony, you can set a church ambiance by playing classical music. Even modern music with a violin cover would fit very well.
During the cocktail, a bit more upbeat, maybe like a jazzy ambient would work great.
For dinner, we get a little more modern, love ballads, slow romantic songs, and get a little more danceable towards the end of dinner.
The formal wedding dances, like the first dance for the bride and groom, father and daughter, mother and son, and bouquet toss. These are times when everything stops and a song is played to commemorate the current event.
Then the party starts, where the Wedding DJ can play a variety of genres and music appropriate for the event. Music covers all genres and all age groups.
Yes, a Wedding DJ in Houston does play music, however, there is much more we do. I’ll cover 3 more things we do for you.
-
1. Concise Wedding Announcements and Introductions
As the Wedding Master of Ceremonies, we chose the word concise, because we like to keep announcements SHORT, SWEET, and to the POINT. Long-winded announcements are uncomfortable, and will probably confuse your guests more than giving them clear instructions of what is going on or what you want them to do. Also, as a trained Master of Ceremonies, you should know the proper way to introduce a person, and invoke a natural round of applause without having to say it after every name.
Have you ever witnessed a speaker remind the guests they should be applauding? Well, it’s not the guest’s fault they didn’t know to applaud. It’s the inexperienced MC’s fault for not delivering the introductions correctly.

2. Music Programming like Houston Radio DJs
Playing music is one thing. You put a playlist together and hit play, right? Well, you could do that. Or you can have a seasoned professional, play songs that he KNOWS are a hit. Cycle through the genres evenly throughout the night. And, what’s best described as, “FEEL” the ambient and adjust accordingly.
First, the DJ makes an educated guess of what he will begin to play based on the playlist provided by the bride and groom. Second, use a generalized judgment based on the people you see attending. What are the average ages? Do they look outgoing or more laid back? Are they from out of town? These are a few mental notes a good DJ starts looking at once the guest arrives.
When the party starts, that will be adjusted based on what people are dancing to.
The artistry of it is, that there is no set formula, there is no set of rules, and the DJ must use his intuition, his knowledge, and his intelligence to select the next song; for EVERY song that is played that night. Song for song, he has to evaluate what is the next best song to play.
At the same time, choosing from the bride and groom’s list of songs to make sure he plays all their MUST PLAY songs.
3. Sound Engineer/Technician
Sound Placement is crucial to any event. The sound must flow evenly throughout the room. The sound changes also with the number of guests attending a wedding reception. A 50-person wedding may have two different scenarios. 1. is it in a room that only holds 50 guests? 2. Is it a room that holds 250 guests? A room that holds 250 guests will require a lot of bigger speakers than a room that holds only 50 guests.
The shape of the room also determines how many speakers a DJ Should take.
Will there be an outdoor ceremony? It is important to know as the DJ will have to take an additional sound system for the outdoor ceremony.
Microphone feedback, low volume, during dinner, higher volume during dancing, no music played during speeches, and speaking guests placement, are crucial roles a sound engineer and technician must do easily and on the fly.
What Makes us The Best Wedding DJ Houston has to offer?
During the booking process, a great wedding DJ asks a lot of questions. One that is interested in your vision for your wedding. We ask questions like what’s your vision for your wedding. Even if you don’t know at the time. A simple answer like, ” I just want everyone to dance,” or “I just want to enjoy my day with my family,” or even “I just want a DJ to do what I tell him to do.”
It’s our job as professionals to make suggestions on how we can help you achieve that goal.
What you want to avoid is the DJ who “Knows it All.” There is a difference between knowledge and arrogance. An arrogant DJ will not be open to your ideas and will ultimately, do what’s best for him, not you, the client.
On the day of the event, a great DJ will arrive super early to set up. He or she must have the proper music already loaded into his music player or computer. Provide adequate equipment for the size of the venue. Dress properly for the occasion.
Once the event starts, a great wedding DJ will run through the wedding reception program. The DJ should be friendly to the guests and accommodating to any person that comes up to him.
A great wedding DJ will also have a proven track record and organic reviews of past events he’s done.
Because we follow this model, which makes us the Best Wedding DJ in Houston, and your best option for a fun wedding reception.
