The DJ Lisa and I are going with for our wedding this September, cost us $850. It's a lot of money for a DJ around here, for a wedding. The other two candidates were a lot more $$$ though. One guy, said it would run ~ $1300! frigg that.
Anyway, we knew we wanted this guy since about 2 years ago. When I signed the contract, he told me that in 2004, his prices were going up to $1150!!!
You're right though - the prices are going up and up and up.
