DJ pricing and packages
on Vancouver Island
Set prices for weddings, corporate events, Christmas parties and school dances. Private parties and community events are quoted.
Packages
Weddings, corporate events, Christmas parties and school dances each have a set price below. Private parties and community events vary too much for one number, so I quote those for your event.
Every package is planned and played by me, Ryan. When you check your date, I’ll give you a quote for your event.

FAQ
Pricing
questions.
How do I get a quote?
Call me at 250-667-0804 or send a message through the contact form with your date, venue, type of event and roughly when it starts and ends. I’ll check that I’m free first, then send you a quote for your event.
Can a package be adjusted for my event?
Ask me. Tell me what you have in mind for your event, and I’ll let you know what’s possible.
Is travel included in the price?
I’ll confirm in your quote whether travel affects the price for your venue. I DJ anywhere on Vancouver Island, including Victoria, Langford, Duncan, the Cowichan Valley, Lake Cowichan, Nanaimo, Comox, Tofino and Ucluelet, so include your venue or town when you get in touch and the quote can reflect it from the start.
Do I pay a deposit to hold my date?
The details of holding your date, including any deposit and when payment is due, are covered in your quote. If you have questions about any of it before you book, call me and I’ll walk you through it so you know exactly where things stand.
What if my event runs longer than planned?
It’s worth asking about before the day. Tell me your planned start and end times, and ask how extra time works if the party could run late. The answer goes in your quote, so there are no surprises on the night.
