Event Rates
How much do you charge? This is a very common question. Our price is determined by several factors: type of event, length, equipment requested, etc. Let us encourage you to select your DJ by looking at factors other than simply price. We understand that price is a factor for many and choosing a DJ by the lowest price is easy, but understand there is a lot more to being a good DJ than having a lot of music and a sound system.
We encourage potential clients to compare prices but to be sure to compare similar services and levels of experience. Your event is important and is a reflection of you. It deserves to have an experienced disc jockey who will provide you with a quality event that has class and is fun. To help you as you plan your event, answer the questions below to prioritize your expenses.
- How much are you paying per guest for food, facility rental, entertainment, and decorations?
- Which one of the above categories is most important to the success of your event?
- Which one of the above categories would be the most damaging to your event if there was a problem?
There is a good chance that the answer to the last question is the entertainment. The disc jockey sets the tone of the event from the beginning. You need to have confidence in the DJ with whom you contract. You want to know he/she is going to be there on time, have high quality equipment, present him/herself appropriately for your event, and take your direction well doing what you want. You want to have confidence in the contract you sign to know exactly how your money is going to be handled and what happens in all “worst case scenarios.” You don’t want a DJ who cancels their commitment to you because of an opportunity to work for someone else for a higher price.
Wedding receptions: One of our most common events. Because we are wedding reception experts, our price is more expensive than many other DJ’s. We believe that our wedding receptions are the BEST receptions you will ever attend, which is exactly what you want for your reception! We believe this because of the feedback we receive. From background music to introductions to your first dance to the tossing of the bouquet and garter, we receive compliments about every aspect of a reception. Your reception is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and you want everything to be perfect. A disc jockey has the greatest impact on your reception. A disc jockey with little experience and/or poor judgment is quite likely to create the wrong atmosphere for your reception. Our 20 years of wedding reception experience assures you that your reception will take place exactly as you want. The price for a typical wedding reception is $700. This is the usual price for a four hour reception (actual playing time). This price includes a consultation session where the details of your reception will be planned. The consultation session is how we guarantee your reception will be exactly what you want it to be. We guide you through every decision you need to make for your perfect reception. Once we finish the consultation session, you will know that your reception will be exactly what you want!
Corporate events: Usually range in price from $500 – $1200 depending upon the size of the event, length of time needed, & location. The typical corporate event is usually in the $600 – $800 range. Your event will be a success because of the service you will receive. Businesses know the image their employees see is just as important as the image their customers see. The success of your event will enhance your company’s image.
Proms & school dances: Usually range in price from $300 – $1200. Proms are on the upper end while school dances are on the lower end. The price includes the Safe Music Service. DO NOT PLAN AN EVENT where you are concerned about the messages in the music being played without learning about our Safe Music Service.
Charity fundraisers can receive a lower price. We will be glad to give you an exact price once we have all of the details of your event. These prices are listed as guidelines only and could be lower or higher depending on the circumstances.
