Couples planning weddings, people hosting milestone birthdays, and businesses or clubs running functions.

Package pricing per event, with options for ceremony audio, extra hours, uplighting and a second speaker setup, often with a deposit to secure the date.

• Confident MC and public speaking
• Wide music knowledge and beat matching
• Planning with clients and calm under pressure

• Public liability insurance, and check whether venues require a certificate and test and tag records
• Music licensing: check what licences apply to you and the venue (for example through APRA AMCOS and PPCA)
• Contracts and deposits: set clear cancellation terms and what happens if you are ill or equipment fails
• Venue rules on noise curfews and power access, check before each booking
• Register for GST if your turnover reaches the threshold

Estimates suggest startup costs are typically around $4,000 to $15,000, depending on the quality of your sound and lighting gear, music library, backup equipment and insurance.

Estimates suggest monthly revenue is typically around $1,500 to $7,500, depending on how many events you book and your pricing. Expect at least about 10 hours a week, including planning with clients.

Check public liability insurance and whether venues want a certificate and test and tag records. Check music licensing such as APRA AMCOS and PPCA, venue noise curfews and power access, and GST registration at the turnover threshold.
