Most wedding DJ pricing is a black box. I’ve written this guide to pull back the curtain on the Boise market.
Whether you have a $100 budget or a $100,000 production vision, you deserve to know exactly what you are paying for - and more importantly, what you are risking.
Tier 1:
Standard Issue: - $1559 - $1,999:This is a standard-industry, templated-performance choice, best suited for events where the technical requirements are straightforward and the environment is controlled. Many-to-Most standard providers also operate on a "Base + Fee" structure.
You may see a low initial quote, followed by additional charges for wireless microphones, dance floor lighting, travel, and "premium" sound setups. This creates a moving target for your budget and a fragmented technical standard on your wedding day.
The Tier 1 Result: You receive a reliable, by-the-book execution of your wedding. But because this service relies on a standard industry script, it is ideal for couples who want a wedding & DJ which follow a fixed routine, rather than one which pivots to the unique energy of their guests, as well as having a moving target for your budget.
Tier 2:
The Professional Steward - $2,000 - $2,899: At this level, you are investing in Active Stewardship thus are able to move beyond the template-wedding script. Because the technical is guaranteed by tour-grade failsafes & veteran experience, I am free to both help consult with you on your personal/musical moments, complex arrangements, and secret surprises which help define the night,
and,
Manage the emotional flow come the wedding day — pivoting in real-time to bridge generational gaps and curate a wedding identity that is distinctly yours.
You also get upfront pricing. I don't charge extra to do the job correctly; the "JMan Standard" means the entire architectural scope is covered, so you never have to choose between your budget or your event’s reliability.
The Tier 2 Result: You aren't paying for a "template" or nickeled & dimed fees:
You are insuring & ensuring, the freedom to be entirely present in a wedding that feels authentic, effortless, and impossible to forget - Your wedding.
Tier 3:
JMan Productions Festival/Concert/Corporate: For those who require more than a Professional DJ and Active Steward. We don't just provide a soundtrack, we engineer the entire sonic & visual identity, to deliver a masterful execution of your day.
Tour-grade & Bespoke engineering for high-complexity productions requires a dedicated technical audit and consultation. My mission is to ensure that no matter what, your celebration remains uninterrupted & unforgettable.
I invest in the stage, so you can invest in the moment.
