Professional DJs are expensive for several reasons. One of the main reasons is that they need a lot of equipment which can be expensive. Modern DJ equipment is jam-packed full of features to help a DJ layer up and push the boundaries of their skills. Another factor that goes into why DJs cost so much is down to the amount, and standard, of equipment that they need. For many professional DJs, this may be their only source of income. A DJ working full-time will have to pay a number of costs to keep their business afloat. In the digital age, one of the main expenses is advertising, which is an essential service DJs must pay for in order to keep the bookings coming in. The nights and weekends you want off DJs are working instead of being out with friends and family. DJs sacrifice much of their own time to make sure you have a memorable event.
I hope that helps! Please reach out if you have any other questions.
