Choosing a DJ for any event, can often be a challenge. Many people
don't know where to start. Most searches begin online. Here are things
that you need to know, BEFORE choosing a DJ service:
When is your event?
The
day and even time of year, both have an impact on how much you will
pay. Example: A Friday or Saturday night event are going to cost more
than booking on any other night of the week; wedding season (March -
Sept) is the busy time for DJs, so expect to pay more during that time
of year.
What time is your event?
If you're event is in the
late evening or night, it will cost you more. After 8pm is the usual
beginning of the "workday," except weddings, which usually begin after
5pm.
How long is your event?
The standard booking day is 4
hours. If you want to book a DJ for more than 4 hours, expect to pay
higher rates or "overtime" (usually 1.5 times the hourly rate) for over 4
hours.
