DJ or Band - how long did they play?

[carisdcnj]

Did you have a DJ or band? Disney or not? How long do they play for?

We had a DJ at ADH. Our ceremony was at 9:00am in Epcot and our prereception was from 10:00 to 11:00 and our reception was from 11:00 to 3:00. Our DJ played from 10:00 to 3:00. We had DJ Scooter and he was great. He really ran the whole reception and got everyone up and dancing all day.

How much is the fee for having an outside vendor?

A Disney DJ costs $1,500+. I don't know how much they charge for non-Disney DJs, but I know that DFTW will charge a premium for you to use an outside vendor.

Also, Non-Disney DJs are not allowed for theme park events. For our in-park reception, we must book a Disney DJ and that happens to be our preference anyway. This could limit families who have a DJ they want to use.

I hope they are able to play for 4+ hours. My family and friends LOVE to dance!

$950 because DIsney sets up a stage and lights for your outside DJ.

I think Desnik will be using a Disney DJ. That price would be right... otherwise an outside DJ would only be charging less than $100. $900 to $950 is the correct range that they will charge for using a non-Disney approved DJ.

I personally have played ALL time frames: 3 hours, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5.. etc etc. Disney will simply charge you for the hours that you want the DJ to play. Remember, too, a DJ will also not take any breaks during the evening, you will have continuous music throughout.

Hope this helps!
