No. You are not required to give the DJ a meal. However, if one is offered, the DJ may partake if time is available and it will not interfere with his duties. The DJ will not drink alcoholic beverages during the show. We do not believe this is proper for the DJ.
Does the DJ take any Breaks?

No. The DJ has no scheduled breaks during the show. However, there may be short periods where there is another activity and the DJ will not be required to play music. Sometimes there may be other entertainment or the client may schedule a pause in the music. In that case the DJ will remain at his station awaiting the music start time.
Do you charge extra if there is no lift?

Yes, please can you specify with the venue management, the logistics of bringing the equipment to the room, need to ask them if they have any service lifts, what is the max load capacity, size of lift. This can sometimes cause an issue on the day if we are not notified, depending on what package you have booked, the setup time could be double, due to no service lift, this also means more man power. I would advise to speak to the venue team and asks these questions, Karizma London will also have a check list that we will go through which will cover this topic.
