How Much Do You Cost??

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

That seems to be the first thing clients like to ask when they inquire about my entertainment services… They often fail to tell me about the type of event, where it is going to be held or how long the event is going to be. Those are important factors in determining my prices for each event I perform at.

Once I gather that information I am able to piece together what I think is a competitive quote for my services.  I understand I don’t fit in everyone’s price range and price is an important factor in determining many people’s wedding entertainment but it shouldn’t be the only thing one looks into.

When we buy a car, a TV or computer we often research the internet, talk to friends and then make a informed decision.  The same should be done when booking wedding entertainment.  Sometimes cheaper is better but many times the saying “you get what you pay for” comes into play.

I have had some potential clients tell me that I am outside of their budget only to have the next person who calls or inquires online tell me they thought my services were more expensive than what I quoted them.  I have actually lost gigs to other DJ’s because clients felt that my price was low and my services therefore were low end.

If you are pricing wedding entertainment or a DJ for any event I encourage you to ask questions and get to know your potential DJ before simply asking for the price.  Not every entertainer is the same and you may be amazed at the things you learn about the company you are looking at.

To see what some of the common questions to ask are (with my answers) please check out my FAQ page by clicking here.  Best of luck in planning your event and feel free to call or e-mail me with any questions you may have!
