Six things separate the great from the merely available
- 1A great DJ is also a great MC - the voice that holds the room and reads it perfectly.
- 2Music taste range - they should be able to span Bollywood to Beyoncé to Frank Sinatra without hesitation.
- 3A listenable mix online (not just a press kit) so you can hear the actual transitions and energy.
- 4Backup gear - dual laptops, dual controllers, dual mics. A dropped track is a real wedding-day risk.
- 5Coverage of ceremony, cocktail, dinner, and dancing - audio quality matters as much in toasts as on the dance floor.
- 6Comfort with do-not-play lists, requests, and last-minute changes.
Ask these before you sign anything
- Will you be MCing as well as DJing? Can we hear/see you announce?
- What gear do you bring, and what backup is in place?
- How do you build the playlist with us, and how flexible are you on requests?
- What’s included - hours, ceremony audio, lighting?
- Do you charge for setup, breakdown, idle time?
- What’s your style on the mic - quiet and elegant, energetic, or somewhere in between?

Wedding DJs in San Francisco - FAQ
How much does a Bay Area wedding DJ cost?
$1,800-$4,500 for most quality DJs with 5-7 hours of coverage. Premium DJs known for MC work and curated sets run $4,500-$9,000. Below ~$1,200 you’re looking at newer DJs or limited-coverage packages.
Should I get a DJ or a band?
Both work; bands cost 2-4x more and require more space, power, and a longer load-in. DJs offer broader genre range and seamless transitions. Many weddings combine both - acoustic duo for ceremony and cocktail, DJ for reception.
What does the DJ need from us?
A clear vision of energy and a do-not-play list (not a 200-song must-play list). The best DJ briefings say "we want a fully packed dance floor by 10 PM, our crowd loves 90s R&B, our parents love Motown, and absolutely no Cha Cha Slide." Trust the rest.
