​​
My price depends on the size and type of the event and the expected preparation and communication time.
For events outside the city centre of Amsterdam I will charge travel costs.​
On special days like New Years Evening, Kings Day, Pride and Christmas, a surcharge might apply.
My prices are inclusive arriving on time to do a soundcheck, I always aim to arrive at least 30 minutes in advance,
though sometimes due to circumstances/traffic this might differ a little.
*For weddings the above price indications are inclusive 5 songs request for every hour that you book me.
With this package you can also submit an additional inspiration playlist which I can use as a guideline..
If you'd like me to prepare more song request, then I could make a quote for this.​
During the party both the wedding couple and guests can unlimitedly (free of charge) ask for additional songs requests
If I have these in my music collection and I if think they are suited to play, then I will :)
​
TRAVEL COSTS:
If the event takes place outside the City Centre of Amsterdam I charge travel costs, which include:
car/taxi, fuel, parking costs, my time to travel, and my time to arrive at the locations much time in advance.
I will be travelling to your event very much on time, to minimise the risk of arriving too late incase of traffic jams,
The travel costs, are calculated from Amsterdam Central Station, and will mostly be calculated in this way :
If the riding distance to the location is 50km, I will be travelling 100km in total, and I will charge 150,- excl 9% VAT
If the riding distance to the location is 100km, I will be travelling 200km in total, and I will charge 300,- excl 9% VAT
​
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Regarding my work, and everything related, I do everything myself. I have no assistant.
Average I work about 85 hours a week to deliver overal quality. Though average I can only accept about two bookings a week.
because I spend 25 hours a week on collecting & organising music,
and 25 hours on social media and other promotion tasks, administration tasks, networking and many other tasks.
Meaning that if I want to have a working week or 'only' 85 hours, I have 35 hours, in which I just can accept 2 (or 3) bookings.
The average time it takes to DJ for a small event in Amsterdam
(without any communication about bringing/organising any equipment) is about 17 hours :
4 hours of communication with a client, 4 hours of preparing playlists,
4 hours of packing my bag, make-up/dressing and traveling to the location to arrive on time or much sooner.
4 hours of DJing and 1 hour until I'm back home.​
DJing for parties/bigger events require more time.
DJing for residencies require less time, because less communication is required.
This above information might give you an insight about how much work it takes to do my job in a good way.
