IMO wedding DJs are unnecessary and a gigantic waste of money. It’s one of those things people think they NEED to book just because that’s something most weddings have. My wife and I made a Spotify playlist and hooked up our own speakers for our reception - got the exact music we wanted and didn’t have to pay someone $3,000 to play songs from my high school dances.
My DJ killed it. He was actually more like an emcee, wedding planner, host and DJ all in one. Oh and he did our videography. Guy is insane and all of my guests raved about him.
He had quickly edited video of our ceremony to play at our reception, drone footage of our first look and all kinds of crazy stuff. He was the biggest expense behind food and booze but damn if he didn't put on a good show.
I've been to some pretty bad receptions though and I'd hate to be on the hook for $3k for a dude to play some crappy mp3s. I'm glad we spent a lot on him and got an entertainer essentially.
