PRICE
This website of Showbird does not contain a complete overview of my prices, hence below an explanation of my price structure, so you can calculate an indicative price yourself.
All prices mentioned are excluding 9% VAT. And including the mediation fee that Showbird passes on to me. So I do not receive the full amount you pay. When you book me through this Showbird website, Showbird enters into a contract between us, and asks you to pay the full amount to confirm your booking. If you do not want this, I recommend that you book me through my website.
My price usually consists of a sum of 3 parts:
1. DJ price (from €500)
2. Indicative travel costs/time ( €1,50 per km)
3. If you want me to install my DJ controller I usually charge € 175,-
If you want me to install my DJ controller and basic speakers I usually charge € 450,-

The extra cost for this is usually: 175,-
You must organize that there is a DJ BOOTH or table on which I can place my DJ equipment, and a power outlet within 1.5 meters. (As a woman, it is in fact too heavy for me to bring a DJ booth or table)
IMPORTANT: I must be able to load and unload with my car/taxi directly in front of the venue.
4: BASIC SPEAKERS
I am not a professional AV supplier, but I can, as an extra service, install my portable speakers for small events, such as in boutiques For me as a woman, this is a lot and heavy work, communication between us is important here to prepare everything properly. So this requires good communication between you and me.
You can see these basic speakers on the compilation in my profile, at that time: 3:18

Reviews
, DJ Eminence
DJ Ivy performed for our corporate event at the W Rooftop Amsterdam. In total it was a 6.5hr set which DJ Ivy covered 3.5 hrs . She is an energetic DJ who was able to adapt to music requests(wide ranging) and mix perfectly throughout the night. She operated the equipment with professionalism and was respectful to the clients requests (House, Dance, Spanish & Commercial). An effective, reliable, energetic and adaptable DJ. Exactly what you need for an important event. I am a seasoned DJ and very critical of DJ performances but pleased to say I will be booking her again. Well done, and thank you!
