Vendors: how many publish a wedding price. Half of them start between the low and high quartile.
The lowest published wedding price is $895 and the highest is $10,000.
The median across the New York area is $2,100, so NYC is about 13% higher.
Almost the same vendors serve Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, so the same figures apply there.
For parties and other events the same DJs start lower: the median of every published starting price, for any kind of event, is $2,200 (37 vendors).
These are advertised starting prices for a whole wedding, not quotes. The final price depends on the date, the hours, the guest count and extras, so confirm with the vendor before booking.
Method
How we get this figure: we read each vendor's own website and record a price only when the site states it, keeping the page it came from and the date we checked it, and a second reader checks each price against its page. A price counts as a wedding price when the vendor's site says it is for a wedding and it covers the whole event. We leave out prices per hour or per guest, and prices for something else, such as a ceremony only, an elopement, an engagement session, a photo booth or video. When a vendor publishes more than one wedding price, we use the lowest. The median and quartiles are rounded to $10, and we give a figure only when at least 8 vendors publish a wedding price.
