Generally, when someone calls and asks me what my rates are, I ask a lot of questions first. Where at, how long, how many people...what is your budget. Then I go from there. As a rule, for me to walk out my front ddoor, it starts at $150.00, in town. $175.00, just out of town, $225.00 and up for out of town.
Weddings and special functions, my starting price is $250.00. I use the wedding/special function price for one nighters and holidays. However, as stated above, if a holiday falls on a night I am already schedules, no, I have not charged more for that night.
I am only charging $250.00 for one nighters, while DJ's are charging $500.00 and up. Go figure. p.s. I am also a veteran musician, so I use the experience of that to help gauge my prices. Some of the local KJ's have descretely agreed not to start and undercutting/price war here. So, that has helped.
