Find the best DJ for your event


Finding the right DJ means matching their expertise to your event's unique demands. A professional wedding DJ in NYC can seamlessly transition from ceremony music to first dances and a high-energy reception. For the corporate world, a DJ can electrify a conference, a holiday party, or a Fashion Week event. For private parties - from a sweet sixteen in Queens to a 50th anniversary on the Upper East Side - the right DJ creates a personalized soundtrack. And if you need a mobile disco or karaoke DJ, they can bring the party directly to you.

Why hire a professional DJ?


While using a pre-made Spotify playlist or assigning music duties to a family member may seem like cost-effective alternatives, they lack the specialized expertise of a professional DJ. A professional's value lies in their ability to read the audience, curate a dynamic atmosphere, and adapt the music in real-time to keep the dance floor consistently energized.

DJ hire FAQs

How much does it cost to hire a DJ?

When hiring a DJ in New York City, you can expect to pay anywhere from $400 to in excess of $1,800. Costs in NYC are higher than the national average and can vary significantly based on several factors:

  • DJ's Experience: A well-known club DJ with a long history of high-profile events will command a higher fee than a talented newcomer.

  • Event Type & Duration: A 5-hour wedding reception with MC duties will cost more than a 2-hour corporate mixer.

  • Location & Logistics: A venue in Manhattan may cost more than one in an outer borough due to travel time, parking, and complex load-ins (like 5th-floor walk-ups).

  • Equipment Needs: Larger venues or events requiring extensive lighting and sound systems will increase the price.

How do I find a cheap DJ in NYC?

To find a budget-friendly DJ in New York City, be strategic. When you post your request, provide as much detail as possible to get accurate quotes.
Although not guaranteed, here are a few tips for getting an affordable DJ in NYC:

  • Book on a weekday: A Thursday event is often much more affordable than a Saturday.

  • Look for rising talent: An up-and-coming DJ can offer great value and a fresh perspective.

  • Hire hyper-local: A DJ based in your event's borough may have lower travel costs.

Getting multiple free quotes allows you to compare prices and find the best professional who fits your budget and vision.

How much do DJs in New York City charge per hour?

A DJ's hourly rate depends on their experience, the event type, and the day of the week. Keep in mind that most professional DJs have a minimum booking time, often 3-4 hours, especially for weekend events. For an accurate price, it's best to request quotes from top-rated DJs in your area.

What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?

I wouldn't really call it a secret - but one of the most important thing to keeping a packed dance floor is to read the room, pickup cues and deliver a wide variety of types of music both played and requested to please mostly everyone as much as possible.

How would you describe your ‘style’?

There's a reason for the company name - we "kreate" unique experiences for each event, and you'll find us making mixes and transitions that many other performers are not bold enough to maneuver.

What do you love most about your job?

The smiles we put on people's faces, the music we play, the dancing, the insanity, so on and so forth...

What inspired you to start your own business?

A multitude of things that include, wanting to help people, make some money on the side, build a sustainable income for expensive America haha

Why should our clients choose you?

For one thing, we operate on Christian morals and values which is so important to us for the structural integrity of our company.

No need to sacrifice affordability for quality.

And one of the best things that sets us apart from our competition is that we are not just a DJ service - we are an all around event planning service that includes but is not limited to entertainment, catering, venue setup and install, decoration and fine tuning, florists, and more.

Time and time again we have undersold and overdelivered, and our clients have thanked us for it. Hopefully you can become a part of the family too.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

Although it is not preferred, it is possible. Please reach out to us to discuss

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

Constant cleaning and wiping and sanitizing stations, as well as wearing masks the entire event
