For our events, we include dance lights. We bring enough lighting for the event. If it’s a day event then we do not need lighting. If it’s a small venue we can bring 1 to 5 lights depending what is needed. Setting up the gear and taking it down is included in the price. We also help with setting up the playlist. We have popular songs people like plus people can add songs of their liking. The songs they select does not need to be on the list we sent out. All the list is a suggestion of what people like but they can go with their own custom lists. Each event requires that I develop a playlist and I try to use as many of their songs they suggested plus adding ones that fit the vibe the client is going for.
For weddings I do provide a timeline to help organize the big day. It is just a suggestion since sometimes folks hire a wedding planner but this is more like music management. Wedding planners don’t like the idea that the dj is setting up their wedding but it’s a good base of what a timeline can be at a wedding. A wedding is anyway the bride and groom choose so events can be dropped and added if needed.
Private events such as birthday parties or corporate events may just require the sharing of a playlists. I do bring microphones with microphone covers in case people want to use microphones.
