A Wedding DJ and MC for the reception. That's the core of a Menzo Weddings booking, and you can add live music to it: DJ plus live music, ceremony music or a cocktail-hour set. If you'd rather have a band, a live wedding band package can have a DJ playing between sets and closing out the night.

We don't publish prices, because every booking is different: your DJ hours, any live music you add, and your venue. We'll quote yours once we know your date, venue and plans. For what drives the cost, read how much a wedding DJ costs in Michigan.
