Pricing

The average invoice for a six-hour event is $900. That changes based on the distance I travel and the gear I bring, so it could be a more or less depending on how you fill out the options on the Get A Quote form. And it’s only fair to warn you that I often get asked to stay for another hour or two so people can keep dancing. Budget for fun!

I don’t just plop speakers into a room and hit play on a pre-made list–I’m going to tailor not only the music to your event and what your guests are feeling, but also the equipment I use, so I can create the best sound for your environment. When you fill out the form to get a quote, be ready to talk with me about your venue (indoor or outdoor? Covered outdoors? If we’ll be indoors, how big is the room?) and your guests (ages? backgrounds?), as well as the general mood you’re expecting (elegant & sophisticated? Casual and welcoming? Upbeat and theme-focused?).

Competitors

I’ve learned a lot while doing this for almost 20 years. If you decide to keep looking (and you should! it’s wise to compare), here is a list of things I’d keep in mind if i was going to hire a DJ for my celebration. 

DJ Checklist

  • Do they charge by the hour or is there a flat fee? If it’s a flat fee, what services does it cover, and for how long? For example, what if you wanted them to stay an extra hour because your drunk grandmother is having the time of her life?
  • Sometimes running sound requires troubleshooting the equipment of a venue, not just your own personal gear. What experience do they have in sorting through incompatibilities in a variety of sound equipment at different types of venues? 
  • Do they pack spare equipment? If their mic/speakers/computer/etc. dies, can they quickly get things back in working order?
  • If for some reason they have an emergency, who is going to cover for them? Do they have a back-up plan, and is it something you’re comfortable with?
  • Can they leap tall buildings in a single bound? 

Feel free to ask me any of those questions… just don’t expect a demonstration on that last one unless there’s a phone booth nearby where I can change. 😉
