• I'm sure many of you have seen the recent wedding survey from the Knot stating that the average wedding costs $31,213. Quite frankly, that's a BIG number! As a Pittsburgh wedding DJ, I can also say it's misleading!

    Here's just one reason why; the average is going to be skewed higher by couples having extremely lavish affairs (think Hollywood weddings).

    A much better resource for more accurate wedding costs can be found at CostOf Wedding.com. The link I provided takes you directly to the Allegheny County Weddings page. 

  • Couples that live in or travel to Allegheny, PA (County) spend between $19,977 and $33,295 on average for their wedding. However, most couples spend less than $10,000. In fact, according to Cost of Wedding, 84% of all couples holding weddings in Allegheny County will spend less than $30,000.

  • In addition to that type of basic pricing information, Cost of Wedding will give you an average price for all different types of wedding services. For example, currently the average cost of a Pittsburgh wedding DJ is between $594 - $990. You can expect to pay between $1,188 - $1,584+ for a well-experienced professional.

    The best piece of wedding budgeting advice that I can give you is to prioritize what items are most important to you and spend accordingly. Maybe catering and disc jockey service are your most important items. If so, allocate more of your resources to those items by hiring well-experienced professionals. Then use less of your resources by utilizing more basic floral services.
