My base rates for events ranges from $200-450 per hour, with a four-hour minimum. Pricing is based on an objective structure that factors in the amount of equipment required to perform the event plus the value of my time. This ensures consistency and fairness to all clients across different types of events. I am NOT in the practice of subjectively pricing events based on my estimation of your budget — for example, I don’t price events higher if a client is using an expensive venue or if they were referred by a well-known event planner. A complete and accurate price quote will be provided to you in my first email to you, and specific information on my pricing structure and services can be found on my rates page.

Four hours of performance time (additional time is available at a prorated hourly cost), setup time, breakdown time, and ALL equipment, including additional sound systems and wireless microphones for events with up to 300 guests. For events over 300 guests, a custom quote may be necessary to ensure your event's equipment and staffing needs are met. My flat-rate pricing is refreshingly easy to understand — there are no hidden charges, and all fees are clearly stated in your agreement with Black Digital Entertainment, LLC.

Anytime before the date of your event, I accept personal checks, cash, or credit cards. If you are paying your balance on the date of your event, I only accept cashier’s checks, credit cards, or cash.

Absolutely! It is extremely important to have your booking confirmed in writing. All terms of the agreement should be in writing to avoid any complications at a later date. Typical retainer (deposit) will be at least 20% and no more than 50% of the total contract rate.

My presentation is polished and understated, marked by artistic mixing and a professional “cheese-free” approach to announcements and microphone work. Many DJs think that it is their job to put on a show and be the center of attention at the reception. I believe firmly that your wedding is your show, and I have no interest in taking the spotlight from you. Your dance floor will be packed, but it will be because the DJ selected just the right songs from your request list and mixed them in just the right sequence - not because he chattered endlessly on the microphone.

I encourage you to be as involved as you would like to be! Most of my clients place great value on music and probably have very distinct ideas about what they want to hear. If you would like to select every song, I am happy to accommodate you. The majority of my couples, however, prefer to discuss with the DJ, in depth, their preferences and at least a few specific requests. I pride myself on listening to my clients and respecting their input and wishes, while providing additional suggestions and guidance when appropriate. Rest assured, you will never hear songs you have asked not to be played, or genres you’ve told me you don’t like.

I own an enormous library of music in all formats, including international music. I update my collection constantly, ensuring that I am able to provide the songs that my clients and their guests are currently enjoying. Furthermore, I work closely with my clients in selecting the music for their event, and will gladly acquire any commercially available song that I don’t already own at no additional cost. Because of this, I can virtually guarantee that I will be able to accommodate any request.

Simply put, I provide exceptional entertainment and the most accommodating and attentive customer care found in this industry.
