I do not offer hourly rates for my DJ services. Instead, I factor the events hours, location, and date and arrive at a final price. If you would like me to give you a quote, please call me or send me an e-mail and answer the following questions...
1. Where did you get my info from?
2. What is the date of the event?
3. Where is the venue located and what is the name of the venue? I use this information to Map Quest directions in order to approximate travel time.
4. When will the event start and how long do you have the venue booked for?
For a wedding, please tell me when the guests will arrive and include the timing of the ceremony if it is in the same venue. I will arrive two hours before any guests in order to set up all of my equipment. Keep in mind that the total hours of the event will factor into the quote regardless of the hours I will be needed for. For example, if your ceremony begins at 6pm and you have live musicians playing music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, you might only need a DJ from 8pm to 12am. However, I will have to get there at 4:00 pm to set up and will be spending all of my time waiting at the venue.
The goal is to give the lowest price I can afford without exceeding your budget.
