On average, professional karaoke DJs cost $100-$200 an hour. Each DJ will set their own rates which will often vary depending on their location, experience, and setup. If their karaoke package includes high-quality sound equipment and video monitors, the price might be higher than those with a simpler setup.
DJs are most commonly booked for three or more hours, which is an optimal amount of time for a successful karaoke party. Some DJs may have a minimum time requirement due to the work involved in setting up and tearing down the karaoke machines.
Karaoke DJs are best suited for any occasion with a fun, lively atmosphere. Karaoke is a great way to entertain and engage guests at birthday parties, corporate events, wedding receptions, proms, and more. It’s also a guaranteed hit at holiday gatherings, like Christmas celebrations and New Year’s Eve parties.
Consider your audience when deciding what kind of DJ services are best for your event. In order for karaoke to be a success, you will need outgoing individuals that aren’t scared to take the stage and belt out their favorite songs.
Karaoke DJs can generally play any available song that you or your guests request. It can help to provide a list of preferred genres or artists or even specific song titles, so your DJ can come to the event prepared. Most DJs will be able to provide music from a wide assortment of time periods and genres. Some common genres include pop, rock, R&B, hip hop, and country.
Most karaoke DJs will have a book of songs for you and your guests to choose from when making requests. If there are specific songs you want to be included in those options, your DJ should be able to accommodate that. Just make sure you discuss that with them in advance.
Karaoke DJs typically bring their own equipment. Before your event, it’s always best to clarify with your DJ about what they’ll be bringing, their electrical and setup requirements, and any additional equipment they may need. It’s important to provide a space with plenty of outlets for your DJ’s sound system. Extras such as smoke machines or strobe lights may be available upon special request.
