Rick Rohn Disc Jockey Productions' very competitive prices offer an outstanding value for your entertainment dollar.

My 2006 rates below reflect the average event length of 3 to 4 hours. Events exceeding 4 hours incur an additional per-hour rate. Higher rates apply during peak Spring/Summer /Fall months as well as during the Holiday Season...

Hourly charges for wedding receptions begin at the time your guests are scheduled to arrive at the reception location. In instances where I also provide music for the ceremony, charges begin at the start of the preludial music (while guests are being seated). For other events, charges begin when I start playing (that includes cocktail and dinner music). Charges end when the music stops at the agreed-to time. I rarely, if ever, take an extended break during an event (Bands take "breaks". DJ's don't... at least they shouldn't!). I'm happy to take an extended break if requested to do so, but please expect to pay me for that time.

Hourly rates include one setup / tear-down of my equipment. In other words, you do NOT pay for my setup and tear-down time. However, additional charges apply if your needs require multiple setups / tear-downs. (This often occurs when I play for weddings with the ceremony in one location and the reception in another.)

Travel charges apply for trips outside of my "local" area which extends roughly from Martinsburg,WV north on I-81 to the Hagerstown, MD area, south on I-81 to the Winchester, VA area, west to the Berkeley Springs / Hancock, MD area and east to the Harpers Ferry and Charles Town area. Lodging must be provided for evening events more than a 75 mile drive from Martinsburg. We negotiate all travel-related charges up-front on an individual basis.

Lastly, please include me (and my wife Stacie if she is assisting) in the meal count if food is to be served at your event. Stacie thinks it "tacky" of me to ask to be included in the meal, but hey I'm a guy, so I'm ruled by my stomach.

Oops...almost forgot to mention. Rates include all applicable taxes.

Booking / Reserving Your Date: Check out "Rick's Event Calendar", then contact me by phone or e-mail to confirm availability and reserve your date. If contacting me via e-mail, please include phone numbers (both day and evening), as I always talk to prospective clients first before reserving a date. Once we confirm availability, discuss the basics, and decide it's a "go", I record your event in my handheld computer and online Event Calendar. We then proceed to the "written confirmation stage"...

Contracts: For 27 years my clients and I have lived without an "8 page attorney-approved contract." For each event, I mail the client a confirmation on my company letterhead detailing the basics - date, time, location and cost. The client keeps the original with my signature and signs and returns a copy to me. We then meet in-person prior to the event to review the schedule, music selection, room setup, etc. To date, this approach has worked 100%. It reduces paperwork and has proven more than sufficient between parties intent on keeping their word and acting in good-faith. Which brings me to my next "unusual" policy...

Payment / Deposit: In most instances, I DO NOT require a deposit or pre-payment. My policy (until given reason for change) always has been: I do my job, do it right and THEN get paid for it. Payment is due IN FULL at the conclusion of the event. No exceptions. Payment may be made by check or cash (no credit cards).

While these policies sometimes cause prospective clients to stop and pause, please have confidence in them. My reputation - generated by years of referrals from satisfied customers and event professionals - is the cornerstone of my business. And a solid reputation in this profession is built largely by showing-up on schedule and doing everything you say you'll do.

Rates, Policies & Procedures are current as of September 1, 2005
