Our base rates for parties range from $300 to $650. We base our pricing on an objective structure that only factors in the month and day of the event, which ensures consistency and fairness to all of our clients. We are not in the practice of subjectively pricing events based on our estimation of your budget — for example, we don’t price events higher if a client is using an expensive reception site or if they were referred by a well-known wedding planner. Complete and accurate pricing is always available on our website for your review.

It’s completely optional, and we’re happy to accept a 50% retainer with the agreement and the balance a week before the event if that’s your preference.

Please Mr Dj Houston always reserves and has a backup DJ ready to fill in for any of our events. We’re proud to have originated the most rock-solid emergency backup plan in the DJ industry. Each of our DJs takes the responsibility of performing for a wedding extremely seriously, and is both contractually and ethically obligated to do everything possible to avoid emergencies. However, to ensure your event’s complete success, every weekend we pay one of our DJs (one of the performers from our regular roster, not a semi-retired, “B-list” DJ or one from another company) to be the “Emergency DJ” on call. That DJ is prepared with appropriate attire, equipment, and the music and paperwork for each wedding on our schedule. In addition, each of our DJs brings a full set of backup equipment to every event, and the company provides backup transportation in case of car trouble. We believe our system is the most comprehensive emergency backup plan in the entire industry, and it costs us many tens of thousands of dollars each year to operate — a worthwhile investment in our clients’ peace of mind.

We have both! We currently have many reviews (with a perfect five-star average rating) on Wedding Wire, the industry's most prolific wedding planning website.

You will not be asked to “cold call” people to check our references; we will be sure to let them know to expect your call. We want you to feel completely comfortable in researching our services.

All of our events are private and in respect of privacy to our clients on their special day, Please Mr Dj Houston does not permit prospective clients to “drop in” on a private event. However, our references, online reviews, and the information we provide you in our initial meeting will speak volumes of our experience, style and professionalism.

To keep it plain and simple, a standard wall outlet is needed within reasonable distance from the booth. The photo booth setup requires an area of at least 12′ deep x 12′ wide x 10′ high at a minimum. To make sure your guests have an enjoyable experience, we suggest more space than that – mainly to allow folks to gather and look at props, socialize, laugh at the fun, and partake in the excitement. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact us and we can provide helpful guidance for the specific location.

Well let’s just say we have had been known to get as many as 10-12 when opened for an “open air” shot, and that’s what makes it more fun. That’s the beauty of our photo booth – it is not limited. We take great pride of having a Photo Booth that quickly adapts to size when a larger group of guests want to huddle up for a photo! The more people in the booth laughing and having a good time will ensure we are the life of the event.
