Top Houston Wedding DJ Services, Photo Booths, Live Stream & Lighting
Since 2006, we have been a premier Houston wedding DJ Service for the Greater Houston area, Galveston and other adjacent counties, providing the best DJ’s, Master of Ceremonies and Event Coordinators in the industry.
Our DJ Coordinators are some of the most professional Wedding Master of Ceremonies in Texas.
Professional DJ Coordinators
In 2017 The Knot polled approximately 13,000 couples nationwide and discovered that the average cost of a wedding is $33,391. Because of the high cost of the wedding, you CANNOT trust one of the key components of your wedding to an amateur.
Your wedding should be unique to you and your fiancé and not an out of the box timeline. We will do the following for you:
- Create a ceremony /reception timeline with you and suggest additional wedding dances as needed.
- Direct your guest throughout the wedding
- Provide a wedding music playlist to assist you in choosing the right music for you and your family to celebrate.
- Liability Insurance for all Houston wedding Venues – the average policy is $2 Million Liability
- A “Save The Date Contract” with a guaranteed price, date, arrival times, and start to end times.
How much does a DJ Cost?
The average DJ price for a standard wedding reception can be based on how much the DJ charges per hour, or a fixed standard rate. In Houston, DJ’s are broken down into 3 levels:
- The Weekend Warriors – Craigslist DJs, Bar, Club, Hobbyist and part time dj’s. Most are exceptional in their own specific genres, but very few are experienced in wedding formats, overall musical knowledge or experience as a Master of Ceremonies. Some have a minor web presence. If you are looking for just a standard dj with your favorite music from the local bar and a small wedding with friends and little to no announcements, these experts are very affordable. Many dj’s charge by the hour. Average cost: $250 to $500 for 4 to 6 hours.
- Small Business Owners – Fulltime and experienced at many types of weddings and events. These companies offer great services at reasonable prices. Many are insured and offer professional timelines and music databases to assist the brides in creating their dream weddings. Most have between 1 and 5 Professional Master of Ceremonies/DJs on staff. They are reliable and can be found online, as well as reviews about their services and expertise. Average cost $600 to $1100 for 4 to 5 hours.
- Large DJ Companies – Reliable and experienced management teams for middle to large sized local companies as well as large nationwide companies. Most are insured and have between 5 and 20 dj’s on staff. The expertise of the djs in their companies vary, normally hiring the upper management is an additional cost. As always, to understand if they are right for you, read the newest reviews and see who their super stars are. They offer exception tools and music for weddings and private events. Many have a high overhead business cost, such as office space, dj equipment, wedding advertising and web presence cost. This cost naturally must be passed on to their clients and it will raise the price substantially. Average cost $1000 to $1500 for 4 hours.
In the end, the old adage of “you get what you pay for” is very relevant. This is only a very basic way of explaining the Houston DJ community.
Pricing factors
There are many other factors that can effect the price of your dj:
- Packages – many djs have different packages that deal with free additional time, photo booths or ambiente lighting. Ask what the standard dj package includes. Is the dance floor lighting come included and do they offer a cordless microphone for the toast? Some dj’s charge extra for a portable dj booth called a facade. Never assume and verify the price of the contract.
- Off Season – Houston has two off seasons, and you can receive anywhere from $50 to $100 off for the months of January thru March and the hot months from July thru September.
- Distance – many djs also charge for events in the neighboring counties around Harris County. Inquire about travel and setup fees before signing a contract.
- Reserve Time – The farther away you are from your wedding date, the cheaper the price. Many brides and grooms do not realize that dates are typically booked 6 months to a year in advance. The closer you get to your wedding date, the less guaranteed a good DJ or price. Do not put this off until the end.
- Venue Discounts – Many of the venues in the greater Houston area have in-house vendors on their preferred vendor list. Ask them if they offer a discounted price or if they are part of a package at the venue.
Finally, regardless of the cost of your wedding or event, make sure your DJ at least has experience with weddings, announcements, and following a timeline. Do not entrust your special day to an amateur DJ.
Unique Timelines & Music based on your vision
Our event planning starts with our customized 35 step outline questionnaire. It’s always available and accessible from any electronic device or computer with internet access. After working with these questionnaires, we will meet with you and your fiancé as many times as necessary until we have created the most spectacular wedding day timeline that incorporates your family’s traditions as well as your special details. We will even help you find your favorite music from around the world. Your timeline will be included:
- Ceremony Music
- Cocktail & Dinner Music
- 10 Special dances and songs
- How to coordinate the Staff, Photographers, Videographers, additional entertainers, friends & family
- Cake Cutting & Toast
- Special dances such as Anniversary, Honeymoon dances and other events as needed.
People routinely assume that the event coordinator at their venue will do all of these things. However, all of these details are the bride’s responsibility.

ABOUT
Why we do the things we do ♫♪♫
Access DJ’s was formed in 2006 in Houston, Texas. We are an entertainment company that strives to make every couple’s dream wedding come to life. Our team members are not just DJs that show up and press a play button. They are Masters of Ceremonies and Event Coordinators who will ensure that your wedding will run smoothly from start to finish.
We are an entertainment company that has a great time bringing good clean music fun to our clients. All of the music is radio edited and for some of our music, we have to go beyond the radio edits. We do our own special remixes to clear certain words that are considered proper on the radio but not at all family gatherings or corporate events.
Our company was created with the desire to provide a dj company that can go into places of worship, corporations and celebrations with the same values that we have. Not to long ago, music didn’t have vulgar words or explicit themes. We are trying to bring back those great times.
