    I'd rather do 8 @ £550

    Or 2 at £1200.

    The all days are a long day and sometimes a lot of prep, but I can see why people just do them. Now my assistant is busy (he has a girlfriend), i would like to just MC the day, first dance and get someone else to do the tech and evening part as I have recently found myself lagging a bit come 10pm (especially as I have 2 babies). A local DJ to me only does one all day a week as a rule and I think this makes sense, but you really have to charge for that luxury and add in those extra special time consuming details.

    Editing is fine now by the way Mark. £££@@@@:::

    I don't agree with that - on paper sounds good, but if just 1 of those bookings does not materialise you are snookered - plus 2 x £1200 bookings a month would not be enough income for me. By taking a slightly higher quantity, if bookings are a little slow it does not affect you.

    A lot depends if you solely rely on your DJ income or have partners wage, redundancy, pension etc to fall back on

    26 gigs, no probs, but not at such inflated prices*


    *For our newer readers, I must point out that this is a running gag, which children such as myself never tire of.
