I work with Matty a lot and I think he’s very good. He is very professional, and I’ve been very happy working with him. My friends also work with him and had a good experience. I would recommend him and would hire him again for future events.

I have worked with Matty for quite many years, and he has always been helpful to me when it comes to DJ services and everything. He is always the one I look for for DJs, and the DJs he provided, and himself also, always got a good response from the guests and from my team. The last big one we did was a World Cup screening, he was there and some of the DJs were there, and everyone was happy about it, everyone was applauding. He is very professional and very accommodating, and if I cannot find a DJ deck he will definitely help me out to get everything done.

Club DJ

How much does a club DJ cost in Singapore?

Club bookings work differently from private events: venues book residents and guests on their own terms rather than being hired by a customer, so there is no consumer price list. If you are hiring a club style DJ for a private event, you are back to private rates, from around S$500 to S$1,000 for a solo DJ and S$800 to S$1,500 at wedding level. If you are a venue booking talent, that is a negotiation involving night, slot and draw. For a private party, what matters more than a club pedigree is whether they will play what your guests actually want to hear.

Corporate event DJ

How much does a corporate event DJ cost in Singapore?

Corporate work is usually quoted per event rather than off a rate card, and the starting point is the same S$800 to S$1,500 a wedding DJ charges, with a DJ and emcee together at S$1,200 to S$2,500. What pushes a corporate quote up is production rather than performance: a stage, screens, proper sound for speeches, and a run sheet that has to be followed to the minute. Decide early whether you need a DJ or an emcee with music, because a dinner and dance needs both and a networking evening usually needs neither at that price.

Party DJ

How much does a DJ cost for a party in Singapore?

A private party DJ is generally quoted below wedding rates, so expect to start under the S$800 to S$1,500 a wedding DJ commands, with the price set by the length of the set, whether equipment is included, and how far they are travelling. A solo DJ working an intimate gathering can be S$500 to S$1,000. Confirm two things when booking: whether sound and lighting come with the DJ or are hired separately, and what overtime costs, since parties run late more often than not and that is the charge people argue about afterwards.

Wedding DJ

How much does a wedding DJ cost in Singapore?

A DJ alone is S$800 to S$1,500 for a Singapore wedding, and a DJ who also emcees is S$1,200 to S$2,500. The second is usually the better buy for a banquet, because one person controlling both the music and the run of the evening keeps the programme moving. Check what is actually included: whether the hotel's own audio visual system is being used or the DJ brings a rig, and whether lighting is part of it. A DJ who sits behind a laptop and never reads the room is the common complaint here, so ask to hear how they handle the transition from dinner into dancing.

Acoustic duo or trio

How much does an acoustic duo cost in Singapore?

An acoustic or string duo is S$500 to S$1,500 and a trio with vocals and two instruments is S$1,200 to S$2,200. This is the standard choice for a solemnisation and a cocktail hour, where you want live music that people can talk over. Be clear that it will not fill a ballroom on its own, which is the most common mismatch here: a duo booked for a 300 guest banquet gets lost. Ask how many sets they play and how long each is, and whether they will learn a specific song for the walk down the aisle, which most will for a small fee or free.

Ceremony musicians

How much do ceremony musicians cost in Singapore?

A solemnisation is typically covered by a solo musician at S$500 to S$1,000 or a duo at S$500 to S$1,500, since it is a short set for a small room. String duos and quartets are the traditional choice and are priced within that band, with a quartet at the upper end. If your ceremony and reception are in the same venue on the same day, book one act for both rather than two, because most will extend into the cocktail hour for far less than a second booking. Confirm whether they need power and a covered space, which matters for a garden ceremony here.

Live band

How much does a live band cost in Singapore?

Band pricing scales with headcount, and it scales steeply. A two to three piece is S$1,000 to S$2,500, a four piece S$2,000 to S$3,500, a five or six piece S$3,000 to S$4,500, and a full band for a hotel ballroom runs S$2,500 to S$5,000 and above. Most Singapore weddings with live music land between S$800 and S$5,000 all in. Ask what happens between sets, because a band that plays three sets needs recorded music covering the gaps and someone to manage it, and that is either included or it is your problem on the night.

2 to 3 piece band
S$1,000 to S$2,500
4 piece band
S$2,000 to S$3,500
5 to 6 piece band
S$3,000 to S$4,500
Full band, ballroom
S$2,500 to S$5,000

Live singer

How much does a live singer cost in Singapore?

A singer working solo, usually with backing tracks or a guitar, is S$500 to S$1,000, and a singer fronting a band is priced as part of the band at S$1,000 to S$4,500 depending on size. A singer with a DJ is a popular middle option here, giving live vocals over the DJ's set without the cost or the stage space of a full band. Ask for video of a live performance rather than a studio recording, and check the repertoire against your guest list, since a singer who is excellent at one genre and unfamiliar with what your family wants to hear is a long evening.

Solo musician

How much does a solo musician cost in Singapore?

A solo musician, or a musician and DJ hybrid, is S$500 to S$1,000 and is the sensible choice for a solemnisation, a cocktail hour or a small restaurant reception. It is the cheapest way to have live music at all, and for an intimate event it works better than a band, which will overwhelm a small room. What a solo act cannot do is carry a ballroom, so if the plan is dancing later you need either a band or a DJ for that part. Many solo musicians will quote a package that covers the ceremony and then hands over to recorded music.

MC and hosting

How much does a wedding emcee cost in Singapore?

A professional wedding emcee is S$588 to S$1,088, with bilingual emcees, which most Singapore banquets want, sitting around the middle of that. Bundling the emcee with the DJ at S$1,200 to S$2,500 is usually cheaper than booking both separately and removes the coordination problem on the night. The alternative most couples consider is asking a friend. That works when the friend is genuinely comfortable with a microphone and a run sheet, and is a long evening for everyone when they are not. A professional earns the fee mainly by keeping a banquet programme on time.

Music production and remixing

How much does music production cost in Singapore?

Production and remix work is quoted per track rather than per hour, and it is a different business from event performance, so an events DJ is not automatically the person for it. What people most often want for a wedding is a custom edit: a specific song shortened for the aisle walk, or a mash-up for a first dance. Many event DJs will do that for a modest fee on top of the S$800 to S$1,500 booking, and some include it. Ask when you book rather than the week before, because a custom edit needs the song choices settled first.

Sound and lighting

Is sound and lighting included with a DJ in Singapore?

Sometimes, and it is the question people forget to ask. Hotel ballrooms in Singapore usually have their own audio visual system, and using it may be cheaper than bringing a rig, or may carry a venue charge of its own. For a restaurant, a garden or a private space, the DJ or band generally supplies sound, and lighting is often an add-on quoted separately. Settle it in writing before booking, because a DJ arriving at a venue with no system and no agreement about who provides one is the way an evening starts an hour late.

Frequently Asked Questions

What people want to know before hiring djs and musicians in Singapore.

What should I check before hiring djs and musicians in Singapore?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and a price in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check the credential yourself rather than taking it on trust.
How are prices quoted in Singapore?
Watch for prices shown with "++". That means 10% service charge and 9% GST are added on top, so a quoted S$100 is really about S$120. Ask whether a figure is nett before you compare two quotes.
Do I need a licensed professional in Singapore?
For some trades, yes, and it is not optional. Electrical work needs an EMA licensed electrical worker, plumbing that touches the public supply needs a PUB licensed plumber, and building work falls under BCA. Ask for the licence number.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other people's reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and turns up when they said they would.
What should I avoid when hiring djs and musicians in Singapore?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I find djs and musicians I can trust in Singapore?
