Good equipment supports the atmosphere – without ever getting in the way.

Honest, transparent, and no sales talk

One of the first questions many couples ask is:What does a wedding DJ cost – and what’s included in the price?

Online you’ll find anything from €300 to €3,000. So what’s realistic? And what’s worth it?Here’s an honest look at how I approach pricing – based on real weddings across Spain and Europe.


1. It’s not just about playing music

Yes, I’ll be behind the decks on the day – reading the room and keeping the energy right.But most of the real work happens before the party even starts:

  • Consultation & music planning

  • Technical planning based on venue

  • Coordination with planner, celebrant or venue

  • Set-up and teardown

  • Transport & logistics

  • Backup solutions for any situation

In short: You’re not just booking the party – you’re booking the full support behind it.

2. Sound & lighting that actually fits

A reliable sound system, wireless microphones, atmosphere lighting – it all matters.I bring my own professional gear and adapt it to each venue, whether it’s a villa, garden, rooftop or beach.

That means:

  • You don’t have to worry about anything

  • It sounds great – everywhere

  • Nothing breaks the mood or draws attention for the wrong reasons

3. Quality comes with value – and peace of mind

I work with couples from all over Europe. Every wedding is different, but one thing stays the same:

My goal is to create a musical atmosphere that feels completely right for you.

That takes:

  • Experience with destination weddings

  • Sensitivity to the vibe and flow

  • Time to prepare well

  • Flexibility on the day

  • Full responsibility for the music experience

4. So – what’s the actual price? (how much does a wedding dj cost)

Most of my wedding packages range from €1,000 to €2,000, depending on:

  • Location & travel

  • Duration (evening vs. full day)

  • Equipment needs (second setup, lighting, microphones)

  • Level of support and planning in advance

One short conversation is usually enough to give you a clear idea.


Final thoughts

A good DJ doesn’t just play music – they shape the mood, the flow and the feeling.If you want a wedding that moves naturally and lets you relax – it’s worth investing in someone who brings calm, experience and the right energy.

If that sounds like something you’re looking for, I’m happy to chat – no pressure.
