I've mostly been a bedroom DJ, but I've played out at a sweet 16 over the summer for my friend's sister, paid and everything and was a great night. Turns out her friend is also turning 16, so she needs a DJ, and I told her I would be happy to. She then asked me how much it would cost, to which I asked her if she wanted only music, or also lights. In the end, she wanted the price for both.
Here's a little background on my setup. She told me the party would be roughly 50 people and 4 hours long, and I have a pair of speakers which should be enough for this I think... 750W each. If she wants lights I'm going to have to rent, but I have the person for this. He said lighting should cost me at max 50 for the night.
So since I don't have much experience in the field, and this isn't something I can google to find out, I require the infinite wisdom that DJTT members have
What would be a reasonable rate for the party for just music? And taking into consideration lights would cost me $50, what is a reasonable rate to play this sweet 16 for 4 hours.
