When providing background music, I take into account a quiet, open sound so that your guests can continue to communicate pleasantly with each other
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. When you book me through this Showbird website, Showbird creates 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 two to three components:
- DJ fee: starting from €500
- Travel expenses and travel time (indicative): €1,50 per kilometer
- Optional - on request: installation of my DJ controller: €175,-
PRICE INDICATION SMALL EVENTS
In the center of Amsterdam the following 'from' prices apply for small-scale events. The prices below are WITHOUT DJ controller and WITHOUT speakers.
1 hour € 500
\
2 hours € 600
\
3 hours € 700
\
4 hours €800
\
5 hours € 900
PRICE INDICATION FOR LARGER PARTIES, WEDDINGS, THEMED EVENTS

\
2 hours € 800
\
3 hours € 950

For weddings, the above prices include 5 request songs per hour.
If you have more specific requirements, or want more request songs, this is also negotiable. For weddings and birthdays, you can also share an inspiration playlist with me.
All prices indicated are a guideline.
For bookings during Christmas, King's Night, King's Day, Christmas, New Year's Eve a surcharge may apply.
The customer is responsible for any charges to BUMA/STEMRA.
2. TRAVEL COSTS
For bookings outside the center of Amsterdam, travel expenses will be charged, the indicative rate is 1.50 € per kilometer
For example: if the location is a 50 kilometer drive from Amsterdam Central, I will drive a total of 100 kilometers and the indicative price is 150,- (including my travel time, parking costs and arriving well in advance)
3. DJ CONTROL
If desired, I can bring my DJ controller (Pioneer XDJ-XZ).
The additional cost for this is usually €175,-.
In that case I ask for the following:
- A DJ booth or sturdy table on which I can place my equipment
- An electrical outlet within 1.5 meters of the Dj Booth.
Because bringing a DJ booth/table is physically too heavy for me as a woman, I do not bring it myself.
Important:
I must be able to park my car or cab directly in front of the event venue for loading and unloading.
4: BASIC SPEAKERS
Depending on the situation, and sometimes possible, I install my portable speakers for events, such as in boutiques, as an extra service. Since this is physically demanding work for me as a woman, good communication is essential. This is not a professional AV service, but can be a suitable solution in specific cases. The price for installing my portable speakers and DJ controller is usually €450
CONTACT / QUOTE
Every new request will be answered as soon as possible, at least within 12 hours.
I ASK YOU TO LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY WITH EVERY REQUEST IF THE FOLLOWING TECHNOLOGY IS AVAILABLE:
- Speakers suitable for your event.
- Pioneer DJ equipment
- DJ box/table
You can read a lot of additional information on my website.

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!
