FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
i usually do a flat rate of $440 for any event over 100 people, then adjust to add $50 per hour of my time the day of the event. i do not charge for setup times or walk-thru or travel time or travel expenses. for example a 6 hour wedding event of 200 people may be $740, not including lighting which would be extra. i would provide 2 wireless microphones, any additional mics would be extra. For nightclubs or karaoke parties- i do a flat rate of $100 per hour.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
the client and i either call or email but eventually connect with a conversation going over specific details. i would draft up a contract per our discussion and check-in with clients as the event date gets closer. i always do a walk thru of the venue to inspect for electrical and setup considerations prior to event. i plan a playlist with the client of 'must-have' songs. On the day of the event, i like to arrive at least 2 hours early to setup and do sound check making sure things are in order.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I do sound support at my church. i have worked in the technical dept. for many dramas and musicals supporting sound and lighting and have had over 15 years DJ and pro audio experience in the entertainment industry.
