DJS AND MUSICIANS · WAIRARAPA

DJs and Musicians in the Wairarapa

The Wairarapa is over the Remutaka hill from Wellington, which is exactly why it is treated as its own region here — a Wellington business is a ninety-minute drive away, not a local one. Say the town and NovaPay asks the businesses that are.

Say the town in your request. NovaPay asks businesses working near it first rather than the whole region, so the quotes you get back are from people who will actually come.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Do Wellington businesses come over the hill?
Some will for a big job and few will for a small one — the Remutaka road is the reason. NovaPay treats the Wairarapa as its own area rather than assuming a Wellington business covers it, so you are asking people who actually work there.
How is it priced?
Usually a rate for a set number of hours, plus travel and sometimes gear hire. Ask what happens if the night runs long, since overtime is charged and is easier to agree beforehand.
Can I choose the music?
Most will take a must-play and a do-not-play list and read the room in between, which is the part you are paying for. A DJ who will only play your list is not really being used.
Do they bring the sound system?
Usually, though some venues have their own and some have sound limits or curfews. Say the venue in your request, because it changes what is needed and what is allowed.
How far ahead should I book?
For a wedding or anything in December, months. Weekend dates go first, so give the date early and you will have more to choose from.
