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 wish to do this, I recommend that you book me through my website.
My price usually consists of a total of 3 parts:
- DJ price (from €500)
- Indicative travel costs/time ( €1,50 per km)
- If you wish 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 additional cost for this is usually: 175,-
I will ask you to organize a DJ BOOTH or table, on which I can place my DJ equipment, and a power outlet within 1.5 meters. (As it is too heavy for me as a woman to bring a DJ Booth)
IMPORTANT: I must be able to load and unload with my car/taxi directly in front of the event hall.
4: BASIC SPEAKERS
I am not a professional AV vendor, but as an extra service I can sometimes install my portable speakers for small events such as boutiques. For me as a woman this is a lot and heavy work, good communication between us is important for this.

KINDLY ASK YOU TO INFORM ME DIRECTLY WITH EACH REQUEST IF THE FOLLOWING TECHNIQUE WOULD BE PRESENT:

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!
