PRICE
This Showbird website does not give 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. I therefore do not receive the full amount.
My price usually consists of two to three components:

- Optional in Amsterdam - installation of my DJ controller: €175

All prices mentioned 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 rate is 150,- for my travel time, parking costs and arriving well in advance.
3. DJ CONTROLLER (In Amsterdam, and optionally sometimes outside Amsterdam)
If desired, I can install my DJ controller (Pioneer XDJ-XZ).
The extra costs for this are usually €175,-.
Herewith I ask you to organize 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.
Since bringing a DJ booth/table is physically too heavy for me as a woman, I will not bring it myself.
Important:
For loading and unloading, I must be able to park my car or cab directly in front of the event venue.
4A. BASIC SPEAKERS (Currently only in Amsterdam, optional)
Depending on the situation, and sometimes possible, I install my portable speakers for events, such as in boutiques, as an additional 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.
4B. PROFESSIONAL SPEAKERS (Amsterdam only, optional)
Sometimes I can hire someone to install the following:
Party speakers up to 150 people, DJ equipment, DJ Booth, Basic party lighting, Basic mood lighting.
CONTACT / QUOTE
Every new request will be answered as soon as possible, at least within 12 hours.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY WITH EACH REQUEST IF THE FOLLOWING TECHNOLOGY IS AVAILABLE:
- Speakers suitable for your event.

During my DJ career of over 13 years, fortunately, it has never been necessary to cancel a booking.

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!
