FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our pricing is simple, but the elements that go into any DJs' pricing is more involved than just "playing music." We want our clients to understand why we charge what we charge. In addition to just showing up and playing music, here are some costs/labor considerations that many DJ companies have to incorporate: 1) Time and attention preparing for an event, including client communication & meetings, downloading/preparing songs, creating playlists, etc. 2) Cost of equipment - we bring (on average) $10,000 of equipment to an event. We have to maintain and upgrade this equipment routinely to continue offering high end services. 3) Labor related to travel, set up, and take down. If your event is 4 hours, we'll likely spend an average of 8-10 hours that day in travel, set up, take down, etc. 4) Buying music and maintaining our music libraries. Music costs money, and more importantly time. We spend many hours each week sorting through new music and staying up on the latest trends. 5) Our history and experience - in addition to downloading new music, we've spent many years learning about music & developing expertise on the turntables. 6) Providing MC and event management services - often times the DJ is responsible for making announcements, structuring the flow of the event, etc. As you can see, there are many things that go into being an effective DJ for your event. We hope that providing a bit of insight into the real costs and investment in our craft will help you understand the overall value of your investment.
