I
try to keep my rates standard for every event. Some DJ companies will
"feel you out" over the phone or in person to try to determine
how much money they can get you to spend. I don't play those games.
I think my prices are more than reasonable considering the level of
effort, skill, and professional attention you will receive from me.
Weekly or Random
Bar & Club Accounts:
This is a hard type of event to price. It really all depends on the
club/bar, the duration and frequency of the performance, and whether
or not I will be using my own equipment or equipment provided by the
establishment.
Weddings:
My standard rate (2010) for weddings is $995 for a 4-hour reception.
After that, each additional hour over 4 is discounted to $200. As with
everything else in life, certain exceptions do apply. You don't pay
for setup or breakdown of the equipment -only the time during which
I am schedule to play music. This flat fee covers everything including
as many face to face meetings and planning sessions and unlimited special
requests. I also serve as your day-of reception coordinator and provide
you with the forms and the advice to plan your reception from the cocktail
hours, through to the last dance. I'm an accomplished speaker and will
announce/introduce you and your bridal party tastefully and in style!
I will coordinate with your photographer, videographer, caterer, and
anyone else involved in the reception to ensure you don't have to worry
about anything except enjoying your day. And no, I don't take any breaks
- there's no interruption of music unless you ordered it.
All Other Mobile
DJ Events:
Generally, my rates start at $150 per hour for the first 4 hours (minimum
of three hours). Again, exceptions do apply.
