How much does a DJ cost in the Toledo, Ohio area?

Real Talk

Booking the right DJ shouldn’t be complicated. We offer clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re getting from the start. We’re not the cheapest—and that’s intentional. Our clients book us for reliability, experience, and total peace of mind. A DJ can make or break your event. Do the research, listen to the mixes, read the reviews, and book knowing you’ve made the right choice.

The national average price for a DJ is around $1,500. In the Toledo and Findlay areas, reputable DJs typically average $1,700 for ceremony and reception services, with prices ranging from $900 for amateurs to $2,500–$3,000 for larger companies’ top DJs. We intentionally price ourselves slightly above average—right in the value sweet spot. Here's why:

Small, Elite Team:
We keep a small team because great DJs are hard to find—and outstanding ones are even rarer. Many large companies hire for volume, not quality, often booking whoever has a playlist and gear. We’re extremely selective. When you book with us, you know you’re getting an experienced DJ who can mix, create seamless transitions, and control the crowd’s energy—not someone working their first event. If you’re ever unsure, ask to see real proof of their work.
Proof of Work:
Any DJ worth hiring should be able to show live mixes, transitions and crowd control on Instagram or TikTok, not just highlight reels set to one song or videos of guests line dancing (because let’s be honest—anyone can get a crowd to do that). Check out our instagram at @dj_jason_kent.
Affordable, Professional Value: We like to keep it affordable for couples to experience real, professional service with experience and quality. Also, it's not all about money for us; we genuinely love what we do!
No Hidden Fees, No Surprises:
Only travel costs may apply. What we quote is what you pay—no setup fees, forced gratuity, or last-minute add-ons that inflate the final cost.
Well Above Average:
We do not like to consider ourselves average. Other vendors and venues do not consider us average. With each of our DJ's having well over a decade of wedding experience, our reviews are excellent. We have nothing less than 5 stars on each platform (see below).
Modern & Polished:
All of our DJs use modern equipment. From the brand new DJ Podium trend to the slightly older facade set-up, our DJs are not outdated. Be sure to compare our set-ups to our competition's set-ups and know exactly what you're paying for.

Watch Out

We know, you're on a budget and the affordable budget DJ is doing receptions for $300 to $900 dollars. The cheap/budget DJ lacks necessary equipment, experience, and resources to give you a guaranteed safe and smooth day. You are really taking a risk here. Why not pay a couple hundred more to hire an experienced DJ with all of the necessary equipment (and backups in case something fails) to make your day that much more stress free? Does he even know how to make a reception flow properly? Even if they have great reviews, at that price he cannot afford the necessary equipment or time to dedicate to your wedding. We know, because this is how we started out, and it was impossible. So please take this into consideration. In conclusion, if all you want is someone to play music, wouldn't it be cheaper and more reliable to just rent a sound system and hook up your iPod/phone? Think about it.
