What is a realistic price for a DJ in Michigan? A friend of mine who owns a bar, DJs on the side just off his computer and wants $700.00. However, one of the banquet halls we're looking at says we can use theirs for $600.00. How reasonable are those rates?

$300-$500... you're getting ripped off

Disc Jockey rates vary based on talent, experience, emcee ability, service, coordination, equipment needed, music knowledge, mixing ability and personality.
Rates for the DJ industry vary greatly, ranging from $350.00 to $3,500.00 with an average of $1,200.00 for a 4 hour booking. The best price is not always the best deal, especially if you are planning a wedding. As a matter of fact, surveys conclude that nearly 100% of brides would have spent more money on their entertainment and made it their #1 priority in hindsight.
A full-service disc jockey company will normally invest 12 to 30 hours to your special event but it may appear that you are only paying for "4 hours". Consultations, music purchasing & editing, preparation, set-up and tear-down, education and other business related endeavors add up to the overall success of your special occasion

i am in michigan as well and i am using black tie productions out of flint. they are charging $785 for an 8 hour stint, not including setup and tear down times. there was another hall that was gonna give me services $600 if we used their hall, but i was not impressed with either. that is pretty much par for the course, and yes you do get what you pay for.

Depends on time and quality!
You can find it for less but you get what you pay for!
I would say the banquet hall should be good if they do lots of weddings!
Good luck and congratulations!
