Most wedding DJs in Jacksonville charge $1,100 to $1,700 - that's the range across The Knot, WeddingWire, and local DJ surveys. We start at $800. Same professional gear, same experienced DJs - we just skip the luxury markup.

Every package includes a DJ who's actually done this before, a sound system that won't embarrass you during vows, and dance floor lighting. You get our planning app where you pick every song, mark your do-not-plays, and build your timeline. No hidden fees on the invoice. No surprise charges the week of.

We're the budget-friendly side of COS Celebrations - same standards, same 20 years of wedding experience behind it. We built AE because not every couple needs live saxophone and custom monogram lighting. Some just need a great DJ who shows up on time and reads the room.

Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Amelia Island - no travel fees. Orlando, Gainesville, and Daytona by request. We've done 2,000+ weddings between both brands, and every couple gets the same thing: a packed dance floor, zero cheese, and a final bill that matches the quote.

"I started AE because I kept meeting couples who wanted what we do at COS but couldn't stretch the budget. Same standards, same planning tools - just without the live musicians and luxury production. Nobody should have to gamble on their wedding DJ because of price."

- Corey Peterson, Founder, AE Entertainment & COS Celebrations | 2,000+ weddings performed | 500+ five-star reviews

What Do Couples Say About AE Entertainment?

★★★★★

"AE Entertainment is seriously awesome! We worked with Cole as our wedding DJ and he is simply the best. He met with us via video call multiple times to ensure he had every single detail down for our big day. Details we hadn't even thought of, he brought to our attention which ultimately created an even more memorable atmosphere for our guests and us. He timed everything beautifully throughout the ceremony and read the dance floor like a pro! Plus he's a genuinely kind individual who you can tell loves what he does! We couldn't have been happier working with DJ Cole. AE Entertainment truly elevated our entire wedding experience. We highly recommend working with Cole and the AE Entertainment team!"

- Paige

"Equipment was well setup, he communicated well, and kept our guests dancing all night. They did not want the wedding to end!"

- Nicole S.

"Our wedding day budget was an important factor and we were so happy to find that AE Entertainment was able to provide the highest level of service and talent, especially at a price under 1k."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does AE Entertainment cost?

AE Entertainment wedding DJ packages start at $800 for 4 hours of reception coverage (Party package). The Party Plus package is $995 and includes 5 hours plus ceremony sound. All packages include professional speakers, wireless microphones, dance floor lighting, and the AE Music + Timeline planning app. No hidden fees or surprise charges.

What's the difference between AE Entertainment and COS Celebrations?

AE Entertainment is the budget-friendly sister company of COS Celebrations. COS offers luxury wedding entertainment starting at $1,500 with premium add-ons like live musicians. AE provides the same professional DJ service and equipment at a lower price point, starting at $800, by offering streamlined packages without the luxury extras.

Do you charge travel fees?

No travel fees for weddings in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach, Amelia Island, or anywhere in Northeast Florida. Events in Orlando, Gainesville, and Daytona Beach may include a small travel surcharge depending on distance.

What areas do you serve?

AE Entertainment is based in Northeast Florida and primarily serves Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach, Amelia Island, and the surrounding areas. We also serve Orlando, Gainesville, Daytona Beach, and other Florida locations by request.

How far in advance should I book a wedding DJ?

Most couples book 6-12 months out, but popular dates (October through May in Florida) fill faster. We've taken bookings as close as 3 weeks out when dates are open. The earlier you reach out, the more likely your preferred date is available.

What should I ask a wedding DJ before booking?

Ask about total cost including setup fees or overtime charges (ours: zero), whether they've worked your venue before, what backup equipment they carry, and if you get to choose your own music. A good sign is a DJ who asks about your day's timeline before talking about their package.
