Many factors
are used to determine an estimated cost for a disc jockey in
Vermont. What follows are general guidelines to help
you plan your event while remaining conscious of your budget
DJ Type
Each type of DJ brings with
him or her a unique set of skills and talents. The cost of a
specific type of DJ is based on the norms of your area and
the DJ industry as a whole.

Event Type Different types of events are
priced based on the norms of similar packages in your
region and the DJ industry as a whole, we average these
amounts to determine the base cost of each event type.
Location
If you called every DJ in the
phone book from coast to coast you would see a wide range of
price quotes based on the same event details. Besides the
obvious cost of living differences, the DJ standards in one
market maybe higher in other markets and perhaps less in
others. All in all, we've done exhaustive research on this
and have averaged the amounts in Vermont and Burlington - Montpelier to find
the BEST VALUE for you..
The Date
The actual date that you choose
might be in a peak month (typically April-October
& the month of December) and peak in Vermont. Off peak months are generally
about 25% lower in price than peak months.
Hint: By choosing an off peak date you may save on a DJ as
well as many of your other event services!
Day of the Week
The day of the week you choose
makes a major difference in the price of a disc jockey. Most
events happen on a weekend, and therefore will cost the
most. Saturdays are HIGH PEAK days and Fridays and
Sundays are peak days. When you are able to have a weekday
event (not on a holiday), you can expect to pay less because
most disc jockeys do not expect to get booked up on week
days (with the exception of holiday parties in December).
Number of Hours More than four hours costs
more. Most packages are based on 2-4 hour duration with
a nominal charge for overtime.
Optional Add-Ons The various add-ons all
effect price in some way. The more you want the more it will
cost to deliver.
DJ Style
Audience Participation Level
Low-Key/Formal - Very Little Audience
Participation Moderate Interaction - Medium
Audience Participation High Energy - Lots of Audience
Participation
The amount of audience
participation also generally drives the cost of the DJ. A
high-energy show takes a lot more energy and preparation
than a low-key event. Generally the larger the show and
higher the involvement with the audience, the more expensive
the show is to produce and thus the price is higher.
