10+ years DJ - 1000+ bookings - BA in Sound Design
Providing excellent quality and service to every client is my highest priority. To accomplish this, I take on average up to two carefully selected bookings per week (1 event booking and 1 resident booking)
In my 13+ years as a DJ, I have never had to cancel a booking. This consistency provides my clients with confidence when planning their most important events.
Please read my full text carefully before contacting me. I am Dutch and also speak English. The English translation on my Showbird page.
DJ'ing is my full-time profession. Currently (2026) I am resident DJ at leading venues in Amsterdam, including LuminAir (DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam Centraal) and MR. PORTER (W Amsterdam) and House of Noa

PRICE
This Showbird website unfortunately does not provide a complete listing of my fees. Therefore you will find below an explanation of my price structure, so you can calculate an indicative price yourself. You can of course request a quote without any obligation!
All prices are excluding 9% VAT. All mentioned prices include the mediation fee between you and me, which Showbird passes on to me, so I do not receive the full amount you pay to Showbird. SHOWBIRD WILL REQUIRE YOU TO PAY THE ENTIRE PRICE IN ADVANCE. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THIS, AND WANT MEASURE FLEXIBILITY, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU BOOK ME THROUGH MY OWN WEBSITE.

- DJ-fee: from €600

Reviews
, Erwin
We had booked Dj Ivy van de Voost for our garden party. What a great addition she was to our party. Highly recommended for everyone's party. Ivy you are a topper.
, 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!
