Find the best DJ for your event


Finding the best DJ means matching their skills to your event. A professional wedding DJ masterfully blends ceremony music with first dances and reception party hits. For corporate settings, a DJ can energize a conference, holiday party, or product launch. When it comes to private parties and birthdays, from a sweet sixteen to a 50th anniversary, the right DJ will create a personalized soundtrack for your celebration. And if you're looking for interactive entertainment, a mobile disco or karaoke DJ can bring all the equipment and fun directly to you.

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 FAQs

How much does it cost to hire a DJ?

When hiring a DJ in New York City, you can expect to pay anywhere from $400 to in excess of $1,800. Costs in NYC are higher than the national average and can vary significantly based on several factors:

  • Location: Costs can vary from one region to another.

  • Length of the set: A longer performance will naturally cost more.

  • Size of the venue: Larger venues might require more equipment or a more experienced DJ.

  • Type of event: A wedding reception might have different pricing than a small private party.


The average cost for a DJ in the United States in 2025 is $600.

How do I find a cheap DJ?

To find an affordable DJ for your party or wedding, fill in your event information and receive multiple free quotes. While a DJ's profile may list a starting price, it's best to give as much detail as possible so you can get an accurate quote tailored to your specific event. This also gives you a valuable opportunity to ask questions and ensure they are the best fit for your occasion.

How much do DJs charge per hour?

A DJ's hourly rate is influenced by your location, the type of event (like a wedding, prom, or birthday), and other specific details. For an accurate price, it's best to request a direct cost estimate from top-rated DJs in your area.

What do you love most about your job?

Not only do I get to spend my time listening to some of the greatest songs in history, but I get to meet a huge range of people. Every event is different. No two weddings are the same and corporate events can be absolutely riotous! Birthdays are some of my favourite parties to work with as you get to be a part of such an amazing diversity of styles.

How did you become a DJ?

I began by being into music more than most people as a teen. I realised I had a love for every genre and there didn’t seem to be anything I didn’t like or appreciate. I then purchased some music software and began mashing up songs. I shared them with my friends and they all loved it. I would then always be the one in charge of selecting music for car rides or house parties and it grew from there. I was a solo DJ for the first time at university and started working at the local bars and clubs. I fell in love with it. I was asked by a friend to work his Christmas party and that’s how it became a full-time job for me.

Why should clients choose you?

This event is your event. I’m here to act as MC, making sure the atmosphere is perfect and assisting you in crafting a brilliant time for all. Not everyone realises just how important music is to an event, even if it’s in the background and no one is dancing. It’s my job to cover those bases for you. I’m totally flexible with requests and will always run through the setlist and timings of the event with you beforehand. You don’t want the most active songs when people are primed for a slow dance. Music can help guide an event and I’m here to help you.

Jim was amazing. He was organized and helped us to plan the perfect reception. We appreciated and used his suggestions to make sure everyone was involved and had a great time. His playlist was extensive, lights were great and his personality was perfect for the job. Strongly recommend hiring him for your next event. Glad we did!

Thank you Touch of Class, Louis and Sherry and Gio! They were able to play music all day, cocktail room, reception and ceremony. They made it so complete and were helpful and right to the point. Glad i counted on them. Great photography too.
