  • Event type quoted
  • Duration $150 / hr
  • Venue size and guest count quoted
  • Optional enhancements from $600
  • Travel outside our service area quoted

Everything's written into the contract before you sign, so nothing shows up on the invoice that you didn't already agree to.

Extra Special People UGA Miracle

Every kind of event

Company parties

Holiday parties, milestone celebrations and staff appreciation nights. Announcements and awards handled from the booth.

Galas and fundraisers

Walk-up music, a wireless mic for announcements and thank-yous, dinner volume people can talk over, and the after-party once the program ends.

Campus and university

Departmental events, staff and faculty functions, and student programming. Also Greek life and campus events.

Not your problem

If you book with us, here’s what you’ll get, so you know up front.

    Load-in and setup
    We usually arrive 2 hours before event start and are usually out one hour after it's over.
    Power
    We bring all the extension cables we need and tape everything down.
    Dress
    We dress to the event. A gala gets a suit, a tailgate doesn't, and a school dance sits somewhere in between. Tell us the vibe and we'll match it.
    What we don't do
    We're a DJ company, not an AV vendor. No projection, staging, or audio for a full stage program. If your event needs that, we'll happily work alongside whoever does.
