Why hire a professional DJ?


While using a pre-made Spotify playlist or assigning music duties to a family member may seem like cost-effective alternatives, they lack the specialized expertise of a professional DJ. A professional's value lies in their ability to read the audience, curate a dynamic atmosphere, and adapt the music in real-time to keep the dance floor consistently energized.

DJ hire in San Jose FAQs

How much does it cost to hire a DJ in San Jose?

According to Bark data for the Pacific region, a DJ can cost between $500 and $1,500. As the heart of Silicon Valley, you can expect costs in San Jose to be at the higher end of this scale. The price can vary significantly based on several factors:

  • DJ's Experience: A highly sought-after DJ with extensive corporate and wedding experience will command a higher fee than a talented newcomer.
  • Event Type & Duration: A 5-hour wedding at a Santa Cruz Mountains winery, including travel and MC duties, will cost more than a 3-hour corporate mixer on Santana Row.
  • Location & Logistics: A venue in a remote part of the surrounding hills or a downtown location with difficult parking and complex load-in rules will likely impact the cost.
  • Equipment Needs: A large corporate event requiring a sophisticated sound system, microphones, and lighting will be priced higher than a private party where basic equipment is sufficient.

How do I find a cheap DJ in San Jose?

To find a budget-friendly DJ in Silicon Valley, planning ahead is key. When you post your request, provide as much detail as possible to get accurate quotes. While "cheap" is relative, here are a few tips for getting an affordable DJ:

  • Book on a Friday or Sunday: A Friday event is often more affordable than a prime Saturday at a Los Gatos winery or a Downtown San Jose hotel.
  • Look for rising talent: An up-and-coming DJ can offer great value and a fresh perspective on music.
  • Hire hyper-local: A DJ based in Palo Alto for an event at Stanford may have lower travel costs than one coming from South San Jose.

Getting multiple free quotes allows you to compare prices and find the best professional who fits your budget and vision for your Silicon Valley event.


How much do San Jose DJs charge per hour?

A San Jose DJ's hourly rate depends on their experience, the event type, and the day of the week. Most professional DJs have a minimum booking time of 3-4 hours, particularly for popular Saturday dates during wedding season. For an accurate price for your specific needs, it's best to request free quotes.

‘20 Certificate of Excellence

DJ Vino Entertainment will work with your personal preference of what you envision for your event. I have an array of equipment that will suit both large and intimate settings. The controller I use is a Pioneer model DDJSZ. It's a top line brand and I've grown very comfortable using it. I use EV speakers standard for every event. They are accommodating for a good 100 foot area. For those who want that extra level bass, you can add sub woofers to your order. I have two Cerwin Vegas that are for commercial/ professional use. Theatrically-speaking, I have various rotating lights that change color and rotate. I offer laser lights, Up Lights, black lights, a stinger light, and an LED drape that has various pattern settings. I also have a jet fury fog machine and a wireless mic, although I don't do M.C. 'ing myself. All of these products lend to a dramatic setting for an amazing event. I like to have one meeting at least two weeks before the event to go over all details and paperwork, as well as to see the location and venue. If you have specific music in mind, please provide me a playlist at or meeting so I can be sure to have your music available. If not, I will play an open format with the type of genre you request. As far as special requests, I try to be as accommodating as I can. Just keep in mind due to the nature of DJ'ing, the request may not come immediately, but will need to be mixed in at the right time. If I already have your playlist ahead of time, requests wouldn't really need to be a factor. Other than that, my main goal is to rock your party!!

What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?

In my experience I find that by reading the crowd and understanding the songs that get them up and dancing, gives me an indication of what type of song to play next. Naturally a party has a flow to it and by reading that flow, I can best assess where to take the music. Age groups are another factor. If I have a mixed crowd, I will play a mix genre within what genre the customer has requested. Requests can be tricky as they are made by one person, however, that person may also have insight to what the other party goers are into. Go with the flow is my motto.

How would you describe your ‘style’?

I play new and old school Hip-Hop, Pop, R&B, EDM, Freestyle, Top 40, and old school Funk. I also play some Latin and Reggaeton,

What do you love most about your job?

I love when people appreciate my work. When I see them dancing and enjoying themselves, it brings me a sense of achievement and happiness that I was able to get them out of their daily stress and give them a moment of good vibes. I feel a part of that moment and energy, and want it to be memorable to the party-goers. I love when I perform above a client's expectations and really get their party going. When people come up to me, shake my hand and tell me what a good job I did- it makes my soul happy and reminds me this is why I love what I do.

What inspired you to start your own business?

I'd always been the person to pick the music at our house parties with family and friends. They jokingly referred to me as the DJ, but but when I heard DJ's spinning throwbacks on 102.1, I realized this was something I wanted to give a shot. Slowly I started looking into equipment, and getting music. I practiced every day and little by little started getting gigs. I really enjoy the line of work, the people, the energy. I plan to keep going.

Why should our clients choose you?

I have good equipment, I'm flexible, and my pricings are competitive. My mixes are available to hear and download on Soundcloud.com under DJVino- San Jose, CA- just look for my logo. See my website at DJVino.net and also check me on Google under mobile dj vino, san jose, ca.
