How it works...

 

guarantees:

 

• We will not use signs or banners to promote ourselves at your event.

• We will not announce our name or our company's name at your event.

• We will not lay business cards out at your event.

• We will not tell jokes over the mic at your event.

• We will not play music you have specifically asked us not to play.

• We do not smoke and will not start smoking at your event.

• We will not drink alcohol at your event.

• We will not do "air guitar" or pass out inflatable music instruments.

• We will not teach or perform group line dances.

• We will make every attempt to add value to your event, not diminish it.

• We will go over any announcements so we can pronounce names correctly.

• We will not sit down while we are playing music

You should expect these things when you are paying for a professional DJ.

booking policy:

 

When you inquire about a date not yet booked by the Collective, you automatically retain a 14-day tentative hold on that date. If another client inquires about the same date and wants to book the date, you will be notified and given a reasonable amount of time (24-48 hours) to make the decision to book the date or to release it to the other client.

 

If you decide to move forward and add us to your dream team:

• We will sign a contract via an Adobe link

• You'll send a 25% non-refundable retainer

  • The balance is due 2 weeks before your event​

• You'll get access to our comprehensive online planning portal

• Feel free to contact me at any time during the event planning for questions

• Around 2 months before your event, we'll set up a details planning meeting

 

meetings:

 

You will have at least two meetings with us.

1. Interview Meeting - Are we a good match? You like us, we like you... Ok, go.

2. Planning Meeting - This takes place approximately 2-6 weeks before your event. Music-related details are discussed, and we can create a draft of your event timeline and music format. Most clients say this meeting gets them excited for the party!

Throughout the process, we'll have ongoing communication through your preferred mode of contact: emails, conference calls, and/or virtual meetings. We usually meet virtually via Zoom to make it convenient for everyone.

 

fees:
 

If you’ve made it this far, chances are you’re not looking for the cheapest option; you’re looking for the right one for you. Someone who knows how to read a room, elevate the energy with flawless mixing and timing, who turns good gatherings into truly memorable experiences. That’s exactly where we come in.
 

The national average DJ rate is $1700, taken from The Knot’s 2025 Real Weddings Study.  Our investment is slightly above that, not exactly because we do more, but because we do things better. More preparation, more experience, and ultimately, a far more polished and unforgettable result.

In the events industry, pricing tends to mirror outcomes. DJs charging well below the national average often deliver a below-average experience... and that’s a risk most people don’t realize until it’s too late. There are no do-overs. This isn’t just music; it’s the heartbeat of your event. Music sets the tone, shapes the energy, and creates moments guests remember most.

​

If you value peace of mind, expertise, and a celebration that feels effortless and exceptional, you’re in exactly the right place.
