How much does it cost to hire Event DJs in Santa Barbara?

$Low price
from$100USD
$$Average price
from$410USD
$$$High price
from$1,350USD

Most DJs quote per event rather than per hour, with evening bookings in Santa Barbara running from about $100 to $1,350+ and typical spends around $410. Hourly figures usually only appear for short add-on slots or extra time at the end of the night. When comparing quotes, check what is included: sound equipment, lighting, setup time and travel are normally built in, while uplighting, an extended set or a separate system for a second room adds to the fee. December dates and peak-season weekends are the first to go, so confirm your date as soon as the venue is settled. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Photo of DJ Alex Sax DJ Alex Sax "We had such a great experience having him perform at our wedding! He’s an incredibly talented saxophonist and brought so much fun and energy to our celebration. He interacted with our guests on the dance floor, joined the entertainment on stage, and really helped elevate the atmosphere throughout his performance. He was engaging, entertaining, and an absolute pleasure to have at our wedding. Our guests had a great time, and we were very happy with his performance! We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to add something special and memorable to their event!" Based in Studio City, California (77 miles from Santa Barbara) 1st November 2026 Odette Hovsepian - Wedding Photo of sloKaraoke sloKaraoke "Julie & John provide a great karaoke show for a great value! They hosted several events at my place, and always brought wonderful energy, outfits, and even a light show!" Based in San Luis Obispo, California (81 miles from Santa Barbara) Brendan F - Restaurant Recurring Event Photo of DJ ElecTrac DJ ElecTrac "DJ ElecTrac is very talented. She understands how to read the crowd and once she delivers the music, the crowd grows and everyone dances. We really enjoyed have ElecTrac as our resident DJ last year and looking forward to booking more with her in the future." Based in Los Angeles, California (87 miles from Santa Barbara) Venue Owner - Resident DJ Photo of Tyler Varnell | Saxophone-DJ Tyler Varnell | Saxophone-DJ "WOW. Tyler Varnell is a superstar! I'm not exaggerating when I say every single guest approached us during the wedding to tell us how incredible Tyler was. He is engaging, fun, talented and knows how to get the party started and keep it going. His song book covers all genres, and he played a variety of music that appealed to all guests, regardless of age (my girlfriends went INSANE when he played "Mr. Brightside" -- he can do it all!). If you are looking for entertainment to truly "wow" your guests, hire Tyler. You won't be disappointed!!" Based in Newport Beach, California (115 miles from Santa Barbara) 20th March 2026 Casey & Tyler - Ritz Carlton Laguna Beach - Wedding Photo of DJ BUSY B DJ BUSY B "Thank you again for doing such a fabulous job at the Press Club and Moscone Center. As I mentioned, we received a lot of great feedback on your music selection. You were spot on. I also appreciated how professional and punctual you were everyday. Your final payment was mailed today. We will most definitely call you again when we need a DJ." Based in San Francisco, California (277 miles from Santa Barbara) Patty Z. Photo of Shawn Edwards Shawn Edwards "Don't hesitate, hire Shawn!! I'm so happy I found Shawn to hire for my event. He kept in communication prior to the event. He arrived on time to set up. He gauged the groups energy and played the right music at the right time. I have already hired him for my next event."
