How to price a DJ gig

Most UK mobile DJs price from a base fee that covers a standard four-to-five hour evening, then add for extra hours, travel beyond their local area, and extras like lighting, a photo booth or an early ceremony setup. Weddings command more than parties because the stakes and the planning are higher. Peak Saturdays in summer sit at the top of the range; midweek and off-season dates have room to move.

Whatever you land on, quote quickly and clearly — couples often book the first professional who replies with a confident, itemised price. That speed is exactly what Gig Planner is built for.
