Bid day, tailgates and lawn socials are the happiest noise on a campus calendar, and the hardest to get right. We put the speakers up on stands so the sound clears the crowd, settle power with your house beforehand, and are set and tested before the first person arrives.

Bid day

The loudest ninety minutes of the year. We bring sound that carries outdoors and a DJ who knows the chants.

Formals and galas

A ballroom, a seated dinner and a dance floor after. Announcements, awards and a mic that works.

Socials and mixers

Two orgs, one room, one playlist that keeps both happy. Clean edits if your chapter requires them.

Tailgates and game day

Generator power, weatherproof gear and a set that runs from morning through kickoff.

Philanthropy events

Auctions, walks and benefit nights, where the mic matters more than the music.

Senior send-offs

The last event of the year. We build the set around the songs your class actually claimed.

Not a campus event? Private parties, company parties and galas are all on the event pricing page. Weddings and school dances have pages of their own. See event pricing →

The parts your advisor will ask about

Answered before anyone asks

We invoice you

Your org, a national chapter, the university or student activities. Net 30 if accounts payable needs it, W-9 the same day you ask. Nobody has to Venmo anybody.

Insured, with your school named

Two million in general liability, with your university, your venue or your national named on the certificate. Ask and it is with you inside 48 hours, usually sooner.

Backup DJ on call

On call every event day with a copy of your timeline and your music. Your event goes ahead no matter what.

Clean edits only

If your national risk policy or your advisor needs clean versions, set it in the portal and that is what plays from start to finish. You can send an approved playlist and a do-not-play list too.

If it would help, send us your advisor or your house corporation contact and we will get the paperwork to them directly. It is a normal part of the job and we are happy to do it.

Next year’s chair will thank you

The hardest part of booking for a student org is that whoever did it last year has graduated, and everything they knew lived in their phone.

Every booking comes with a planning portal holding your timeline, your must-plays, your do-not-plays and last year’s setup. Whoever takes over inherits something that works instead of starting from nothing.

Add it to your DJ

$600 each

These go alongside a DJ booking rather than on their own, so one crew arrives, sets up once and stays through to load-out.

Your letters on every photo

Included with any booth

Every booth comes with a custom overlay built for that event. Send us your letters, your philanthropy logo or your formal theme.

Twenty wireless fixtures in your org's colors. Turns a rented ballroom or a student center into something that photographs.

Where we work

We are based in Atlanta and Athens, with crew living in both, so an early load-in and a late finish on either campus do not turn into a travel charge.

Crew in Gainesville and northwest Georgia puts the rest of these campuses in reach, upstate South Carolina included. Not on the map? Just ask.

Questions we get

If yours is not here, ask on the form. A real person answers, usually the same day.

All questions

How much does a DJ for a college event cost? +

Campus events run $750 to $2,450. A social or mixer starts at $750, a formal or gala is around $1,450, and a full production runs up to $2,450.

Can you invoice our org or the university? +

Yes. We invoice the org, a national chapter, the university or a student activities office, on net 30 terms if that is what your accounts payable needs. W-9 on request the same day.

Do you carry insurance for campus events? +

Yes. Two million in general liability, and we will name your university, your venue or your national organization as additional insured. Certificates go out within 48 hours of the request.

What happens if our DJ cannot make it? +

A backup DJ is on call every event day with a duplicate of your timeline and your music. Your event happens either way.

Can you keep the music clean? +

Yes. Set clean edits only in the planning portal and that is what plays, which is usually what a university advisor or a national risk policy requires.

How much does a college event DJ cost? +

A two hour social with one speaker and a mic starts at $750. A full formal with big sound, lighting and a booth runs toward $2,450. Most student organizations land around $1,450. You get a fixed written quote, not a range.

Our chair graduates every year. Is that a problem? +

No, and it is why the planning portal exists. Your timeline, music and contacts stay in one place that hands over to next year's chair instead of living in one person's text messages.
