DJ for a wedding, corporate party or birthday
A DJ for a wedding, corporate party or birthday runs the music all evening, from the couple's entrance to the last track on the dance floor. Describe the date, venue and guest count in an order — DJs will send responses. Or send a request to a DJ who has played events like yours.

How much a DJ costs
What affects the price
Weekends and December
Saturdays in wedding season and December corporate party dates get booked early, and they usually cost more than weekdays.
Working hours
DJs charge by the hour or a package for the evening; if guests don't want to leave, each extra hour is usually paid separately.
Own sound or the venue's
Some DJs bring their own speakers sized for the hall, wireless mics for toasts and lighting for dancing; others work on the venue's equipment.
Venue and travel
Travel out of town, an outdoor ceremony or a terrace apart from the hall mean travel time, extra cables and speakers, and more time to set up.
Preparing the music
A shortened version of the first-dance song, tracks for the couple's entrance and a playlist for your guests are work before the event, sometimes charged separately.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a DJ
- 1
A recording from a similar event
Ask for a video or a set recording from a wedding or corporate party like yours: a studio mix won't show how the DJ reads a room of guests of different ages.
- 2
Must-play and do-not-play lists
Ask whether the DJ works with your must-play and do-not-play lists, and whether they take guests' requests.
- 3
Working with the host
If the host is separate, find out whether they have worked together before and who sets the timeline of the evening: the couple's entrance, toasts, the cake, the first dance.
- 4
A backup plan
Check what happens if the laptop, controller or a speaker fails: whether the DJ has a copy of the music on another drive and spare equipment.
- 5
Dinner music and breaks
Ask what the DJ plays during dinner, when guests want to talk, whether they take breaks during the evening and what plays then.
What to put in the order
Type of event, date, start and end time
Number of guests, their age and the music they like
The venue: a hall, a terrace or outdoors — and whether it has equipment and volume limits
What you need besides music: lighting, mics for toasts, sound for the ceremony
Whether there will be a separate host, or the DJ should host the evening
Payment, must-play tracks and what definitely not to play
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
