It's the question I get asked most often: how much does a DJ cost for a wedding or a party? The honest answer is: it depends. In Switzerland, prices typically range from a few hundred francs for a simple private party to over a thousand for a full wedding with effects. Here's how to find your way.
What influences the price
Five factors decide the final cost:
- Duration: a 2-hour aperitif or a party until 4 a.m. do not cost the same
- Travel: an event in Ticino versus one in Zurich or Geneva involves different logistics
- Equipment: a rig for 50 guests in a living room or sound and lights for 1000 people in a square
- Special effects: cold sparks, laser show, professional karaoke
- The date: weekends between May and September are the most in demand
What a good quote must include
Hours of service, setup and teardown, sound and lighting rig, microphones, a preparation meeting and a personalised playlist. If an item is missing, ask: extras discovered at the last minute are the main source of misunderstandings.
