How Much Should a Wedding DJ Cost in 2025?

Planning your dream wedding in 2025? Among the florals, fashion and food, there’s one element that makes memories move—your music. And when it comes to choosing the right soundtrack for your special day, the question inevitably pops up: “How much should a wedding DJ cost?”

At Ministry of DJs, we believe it’s not about a set number—it’s about value, experience and vibe. Rather than giving a vague figure or flat fee on our website, we customise every quote so there are no hidden surprises. Because no two weddings (or dance floors!) are ever the same.

 

There are a few key elements that influence wedding DJ pricing:

• Location of your wedding – Whether you’re getting married beachside in Byron, in a Bondi backyard, or in the heart of Melbourne, travel and logistics factor in.
• Length of the event – A quick 4-hour soirée or an epic all-nighter? More time = more tunes (and planning).
• Optional extras – Think live sax players, percussionists, extra lighting, or acoustic acts to elevate the atmosphere.
• Equipment required – We bring top-of-the-line gear to every gig, but larger venues or outdoor setups may require additional sound support.

Once we get to know your wedding date, location, vision and preferred vibes, we’ll send you a personalised proposal with clear inclusions and transparent pricing.
