?100 is a fair price (that's what I've done it for). But I guess it'd be (a lot) more if you got a 'proper' DJ from, say Yellow Pages. But in my experience anyone who's hired someone they don't know to DJ at their wedding has always regretted it. They always end up playing the wrong stuff. Try and get someone you know to do it if you can.

Good grief. I think ours at our wedding was about ?350 but I might be wrong. I may have the invoice knocking about somewhere. This was with all equipment as well! To address the playing the wrong thing problem, our DJ asked for a list of tunes we wanted played - we gave him about 100 and he taileored the rest of the set around it. He could obviously work out our musical taste (terrible) from the list we had given him.


Don;t underestimate the utter laugh of karaoke at a wedding too! When everyone is boozed and drugged up it can be hillarious!

I've always paid between ?150 - ?200 for club dj's. Go out to a club you like the music to, and ask any dj who plays well and creates agood vibe if they do private functions.


You need to find out if they have to bring their sound system too tho, cos some charge seperatly for that.

I would definitely give them a list of what you want and more importantly a list of what you DON"T want. My best friend did this and it worked well. She also asked each guest to RSVP with a song to be played - although I guess you need to screen these (unless you have mates with exceptionally good music taste!)

Hi,


I have a 3k kick ass sound system, laser and lights. I was in the top three of the UK DJ of the year competition and charge ?125.In East Dulwich only because it is fun and enjoyable.


A different matter when I have to present a live roadshow in the summer at county show's Gala's etc, because I have to travel the day before (in case of a breakdown) I charge upwards of ?1k and have only 3-4 dates left. When asked what I am like my agent states that I am a cross between Steve Wright and Chris Evans. Thinking, I am not sure if that is a compliment.

Ha Ha,


I have had great fun over the last few years doing corporate functions where we are billed as the 'Sunshine Boy's Not only doing the barbie but dj'ing at the same time. If cooking is busy we slap a mix on for ten minutes.


It has also proved extremely profitable as the client believes he gets value for money, and also that there is only one accountable person.


By the way do you drive a Aston Martin?


Regards,

Libra Carr.

    • Hi  We need to replace 3 fence panels in our garden that are damaged and I would like it to blend in with the rest of the fencing. So I am looking for something weathered. If you are taking out some fence panels and looking to dispose of them, please please let me know. I am happy to buy them!  Thanks 07903830384

    • @ ed pete "there still has to be the demand". I don't know but wondering if developers have been able to make a case based on the increase in demand from 2023-2024. The research I looked at said demand had risen by 500 in that period,  but was still below an all time high in 2022.   There will be others who know much more about this area who can give the rationale in favour; perhaps this latest govt. research is incorrect or only gives part of the story. My point is if, as seems likely, this development does little to solve the current housing crisis at local level for the non student population, I hope that the council is very, very sure that this level of student accommodation is warranted at this location. I have not managed to look at the plans in detail but how sustainable are the plans for the build; how will it be heated, what about impact on water and waste services?    
    • There is also I believe some evidence that students are choosing to go to universities, where they do, closer to home so as to avoid additional costs by living at home. Personally I think this is a mistake - being an undergraduate is a first chance for independence - but if economics and costs are making this so the demand for accommodation such as this will again be weakened.
