Check out www.djaa.com.au There are standards getting put in place and it is worth have all the boxes ticked. Pay the fees and there will never be an issue don't pay the fees and one day you could be caught out. Just saying

Are you buying your music legally? and have you got PPCA or if you are producing do you have APRA? As a mobile DJ you need public liability and if you want to work at Crown or place like that you need to have leads tested and tagged. You then need to travel to the venue you work at so by the time you calculate the cost of the gig to you plus an hourly rate the minimal amount should be $450 for a party of 5 hours. I have 30 years experience in the industry an shave earn my stripes club and mobile so charge no less than $880 for a gig or wedding in excess of $1300 Don't get it wrong I do a LOT for that money but I hope this helps some people get an idea of what to charge. No need to be cheap

I am one of those that wont do gigs for less than $660 for no brainer functions, $1300 plus for weddings and $1000 for corporate. We provide a service not just mixing some tunes. There is an art to mixing and I appreciate that but people that have weddings dont care about the mix they just want the dance floor full if that means playing ABBA I will play it or even Calvin Harris whatever it takes. Dont be so cheap and provide quality service.

I charge $660 for a private function and mobile is not boring as long as you entertain. Mobile work is very different from club and pub ( I have done these before and only recently left the club scene). Mobile is rewarding as an entertainer and you too can make a difference, just check out www.djaa.com.au
