How much does a DJ cost?
Hiring a DJ: the price of a DJ depends on a number of factors. Some DJs are more expensive because they are known nationally or because they bring a bigger DJ show. The price can also change if a DJ plays longer or shorter, or has to travel a longer distance. Some DJs have a different rate on Friday and Saturday, because most parties are on those days.

How long does the DJ play?

Does every DJ play requests?
Many DJs play requests, but the DJ may not have every request with them. Want to hear a specific song? Let us know well in advance. Some DJs don't play requests; if this matters to you, we're happy to help make your wishes come true.
What time does the DJ arrive and how long does set-up take?
The DJ arrives at your party 30 minutes before the start as standard. If you'd like the DJ earlier, that's usually no problem in consultation. Setting up a DJ show takes 30 to 60 minutes on average.
Hire a DJ with or without light and sound?
Many websites talk about a DJ with or without light and sound, but what does that actually mean? Every DJ needs light and sound, right? That's right! Sometimes the venue already has light and sound, sometimes it doesn't. In that case the DJ brings light and sound. Make sure you don't pay twice by hiring equipment that's already at the venue. Not sure? Choose "Tailored advice" in the planner and we'll coordinate with the venue.
What if the DJ falls ill?
Then we arrange a replacement DJ. So you always have music at your party.
