Professional Services at Affordable Rates
We’d like to think that the reason we’re always so busy is because we provide professional services at affordable rates.
Some of our clients also like that we give fair & transparent Hourly Billing instead of hidden Package Pricing. We just think it’s the honest way to do business, and we want you to know exactly what you are getting and how much you are paying for it.
Our standard hourly rate is $18/hr per Professional.

Some Advice
If you’re not sure if we’re the right fit for you, please keep in mind that our main clientele are people (planning both small & large events) that want well-trained Professionals with pro-level equipment to make their event one-of-a-kind & memorable.
FAQ’s & Notes Below
1. How Does Your Hourly Billing Work?
Our standard hourly rate is $18/hr per Professional.
Total hours may include:
- Pre-meetings & rehearsals (usually only for big events)
- Equipment setup & tear-down time
- Post-editing (photo & video)
- Equipment wear & tear surcharge (minimal)
- Requested materials surcharge (only for special requests)
That’s it. No other hidden charges, taxes, or tipping expected.
*Transportation time is waived for Las Vegas & Henderson (other areas to be discussed).
*Materials surcharges can include the cost for printing Photos, if you request this option. This cost usually arises for Portrait Studio (Portrait Booth) or for requested Event Photo Printouts. These costs are for the ink & special printing paper used to provide printouts.
2. What is Setup & Tear-Down Time?
When we do an event, we do it right. This means pro-level equipment to impress your guests, and a lot of it. This can also mean a longer Setup & Tear-Down time, but we feel it’s worth the extra effort to make your event amazing & memorable.
In addition, our policy is to show up early to ensure that we can tackle any unplanned accidents (they can happen) that might throw off our schedule.
Because of this, our setup & tear-down times are designed to accommodate lots of equipment & prompt scheduling. Here’s an average guide to give you an idea (*these are averages; each event has different needs):
- Small Events: 2 hour setup & 1.5 hour tear-down
- Medium Events: 2.5 hour setup & 2 hour tear-down
- Big Events: 3.5 hour setup & 2.5 hour tear-down
3. Can I Save Money By “Bundling” Services?
As a general rule: the more services you avail of (DJ, MC, Lighting, Photo, Portraits, Video), the more bang you get for your buck. This is because our Professionals are trained to share responsibilities (Setup, Tear-down, etc.). This shared responsibility means we can provide more services for you with fewer Professionals (lower hourly billing).
We strongly recommend you choose all or most services, to get the most bang for your buck.
4. What Is The Equipment Wear & Tear Surcharge?
For DJ Equipment & Lighting setup, we charge a standard flat surcharge which covers the wear & tear that comes about from the usage & setup of our pro-level equipment. It’s not uncommon for gear to be damaged during an event. This also covers the insurance premiums we must pay to insure our most expensive equipment.
Not to worry though: these per-equipment surcharges are minimal, and will be clearly laid out on your invoice.
5. How Does Payment Work? (Half-Payment & Final Payment)
When you reserve a date with us, we block off this date for you, and we will refuse any other client (doesn’t matter if it’s the POTUS or the Pope). Because of this we will usually require half-payment upfront. This can be waived in some cases.
The final payment can be paid immediately following the event. Photo & video payments can come later, due to post-editing, but do not get released until a final payment is received.
6. What Is Your Minimum Event Time?
When we do an event, we usually will block off an entire day just for you. Because of this, we need to make sure that your event can pay the bills. So our minimum Total Event Time (including setup & tear-down) is 7 hours.
Keep in mind that even if your event is shorter than that it still can take us extra time to setup & tear-down.
Not to worry though: If your total event time (including setup/tear-down) is less than 7 hours, we can stick around and get some extra photos, portraits & videos for you. We can also put more hours into pre-meetings & rehearsals. Heck, we might even give you a back massage to fill the time.
7. Do I Need To Tip?
We do not accept tips. Our Professionals give the best service possible, without expectation of tip.
8. Will I Be Charged Sales Tax?
Service businesses, like ours, do not pay sales on services rendered. However, please keep in mind that any physical product transferred to you will be assessed the going Nevada/Clark County Sales Tax rate. It’s the law.
