History
In the old days (before 1995 or so), there were fewer DJs out there. Why? A few reasons...
In the old days (before 1995 or so), there were fewer DJs out there. Why? A few reasons...
DJ equipment used to be both very expensive and hard to find.
In the old days of vinyl records, music was also expensive and it was difficult to build a library of older popular music. When a record when out of print, it was hard to find.
Nowadays, anyone can walk in to a local music equipment store and can walk out 30 minutes later with a complete DJ system that they bought with "no money down" and "6 months interest free financing". Our new "DJ" could then run home, download songs off of the internet and burn them onto CDs that cost them just a few cents each. All that was left was to sit down at the PC and make up some business cards and he's in business.
DJs tend to charge what they are worth. Good DJs cost more because their superior skills are in high demand. If a DJ costs significantly less than others in the same market, there is usually a reason why. No price is a good price if you are not happy with the final outcome. Even couples working under a tight budget can have a fabulous reception if their entertainment is first rate. Your DJ can make or break the day, so invest in a good one.
