What will entertainment cost for your event?

Build the lineup — DJ and MC, photo booth, 360 booth, photographer, videographer, uplighting, a ceremony musician — set the coverage hours, then pick the day and season: weekdays price about 18% under a Saturday, while December runs hottest at 1.15 times. Five hours of DJ and MC on a peak-season Saturday estimates $1,048–1,825, and adding a third service triggers the package discount.

Common questions

How much does a wedding DJ cost?

DJ and MC service prices from a $850–1,500 base plus $120–190 per hour with the sound system included — $1,048–1,825 for a typical five-hour Saturday reception once the day and season multipliers are applied.

What do booths and photographers add?

A photo booth runs $450–750 base plus $95–150 an hour, a 360 booth $650–1,100 plus $120–190, a photographer $1,400–2,800 plus $220–380, and a videographer $1,800–3,600 plus $250–420. Uplighting at $350–750 and a ceremony musician at $400–900 price flat.

Does the date really change the price?

Noticeably. Weekdays price about 18% below Saturday rates, Fridays 6% below and Sundays 10% below, while peak-season months add 8% and December adds 15%. An off-peak weekday books the same talent for the least money.

How far ahead should I book?

Saturdays in peak season book six to twelve months out, and a deposit is what holds the date. Off-peak and weekday dates stay open much later, which is part of why they price lower in the calculator.

Local trades don't compete across cities, so the same tool rents to one landscaper in Etobicoke, one in Scarborough, one in Ottawa. Rent figures are your asking price, not a market survey — set them where a single won job pays for the year.
