Prices are based on several factors:
Type of event:
Wedding, corporate, private. Weddings and proms often require the most preplanning and pre-event work while private parties usually require the least, prices vary accordingly.
Date of event:
Seasonal demand will affect the price for the event. The day of the week also plays a role in determining a bid price for a particular event, a Saturday or Holiday events are often priced the highest.
Location:
The distance or difficulty of reaching the event location and the loading access time will sometimes require an added fee. A 35 mile radius from Charlotte, North Carolina is considered A Custom DJ's "local area, standard price." A party on the second floor without an elevator will cost more.
Experience level of the DJ:
As with most other services, the vendors with the most experience or expertise and professionalism will charge higher rates.
Quality equipment & variety of music:
This is perhaps the most tangible aspect of a mobile disc jockey service that the customer will experience first hand. The sound quality and wide music selection is a factor that will raise the overall cost of a DJ service in the form of overhead, (premium sound equipment and thousands of songs are expensive). The best equipment and an expansive music library give the most value to the client and guests, (that's what you're paying for, clean sounding music that YOU like).
Personality:
All other considerations being equal, the personality or "style" of the Disc Jockey is often the deciding factor to choose one DJ versus another. This "style" will show itself when you first meet with the DJ, and then again at your event in the way he/she makes announcements as your emcee, and also in the variety of music and how the DJ interacts with your guests, especially during the dance-set.

Remember that the DJ you hire will represent YOU during your event. It's important to choose carefully. BK Entertainment provides a DJ that is professionally trained and who enjoys the work, has fun and most importantly inspires fun in a friendly and enjoyable manner so that everyone has a good time. |
