Watch before you shortlist
11 of the Brisbane DJs have a performance video on their page. A minute of real footage tells you more about how an act sounds and holds a room than any written description. A few to start with:
Events outside Brisbane
24 of the 100 DJs here say how far they will go. 17 cover 200 km or more, some anywhere in the state or the country. 3 go somewhere between 50 and 200 km, and 4 stay within 50 km. For a venue out of town, name it in your enquiry: travel and a night's accommodation usually go on the quote.
Paperwork your venue may ask for
Venues often want to see public liability insurance, and anything involving children usually needs a Working With Children Check. In Brisbane, 11 list public liability insurance.
Before you book
DJs in Brisbane: common questions
What should I budget for a DJ in Brisbane?
Half of the 12 DJs here that list a guide price sit between $450 and $800, and the figure in the middle is $500. Treat that as a starting point, not a quote. Your date, the hours you need and the size of the line-up move it, so ask each act to price your actual night.
Can I see a DJ perform before I book?
Yes, for 11 of them. Their pages have a performance video you can play, which tells you more about how they sound and look in a room than any description can.
Will a Brisbane DJ travel to a regional venue?
Many will. 24 of the DJs listed here say how far they go, and 17 of those cover 200 km or more. Mention the venue when you enquire, because travel and accommodation usually get added to the quote.
What happens once I send an enquiry?
Each act you picked replies with a written quote for your date. Put them side by side, check what each one includes, then decide. Enquiring costs nothing and you are not committed to anyone.
