Prices for a DJ on Lanzarote

How much does a DJ on Lanzarote cost?
Depending on the scope, a DJ on Lanzarote costs between roughly €750 and over €2,000. As a rough guide:
short booking of a few hours: from approx. €750
wedding or event over several hours with standard equipment: approx. €1,000 to €1,500
full service with professional sound and lighting and flexible playing time: from approx. €1,500 to €2,000
With me, shorter events start at €1,000 and weddings at €2,000, taxes included.
Sound and lighting are added depending on the venue.
What is included in the price?
The price covers my own DJ setup, the preliminary talk, planning the music together and the playing time at your event.
Travel within Lanzarote is always included, whether Costa Teguise, Playa Blanca or Haría.
I organise sound and lighting to suit the venue and the number of guests and itemise them separately in the quote.
Extras such as a live saxophonist can be added on request.
For enquiries and information about events in Germany, please visit my German website: www.ben-faze.de
How do we get a concrete quote?
Send me your date, venue, number of guests and occasion via the form, WhatsApp or e-mail, and within 24 hours you'll have my price list and a quote for your event. The price depends mainly on the playing time, the island, the equipment needed and extras such as the saxophone. If your budget doesn't quite match me, I'll say so honestly and am happy to recommend a colleague.

Wedding DJ on Lanzarote

How early should you book a wedding DJ on Lanzarote?
For a wedding on Lanzarote I recommend 6 to 18 months' notice, ideally as soon as the date and venue are fixed. I play only one wedding per day, so sought-after Saturdays go early.
Sometimes it still works at short notice: just ask about your date and you'll know within 24 hours at the latest.
Can we plan our wedding on Lanzarote from abroad?
With a destination wedding that's the norm, and my planning is designed exactly for it. We get to know each other on a video call and sort out the timeline, music and equipment online, in English or German. About a week before the wedding we go through everything together once more. You fly in, I'm already here: in Costa Teguise, in the middle of the island.
Do you also play music for a celebrant-led ceremony?
On request I also accompany your celebrant-led ceremony with music, for example for the entrance, after the "I do" and for the exit. Some couples book me from the ceremony, others from the reception or just for the party. Which songs suit the ceremony we discuss in the preliminary talk. For an outdoor ceremony I coordinate the equipment with your venue beforehand.
Do you work with our wedding planner and the venue?
Gladly – it makes the day more relaxed for everyone. I coordinate the schedule, set-up, equipment and volume directly with your wedding planner and the venue, in English or German. You don't have to pass anything on and have your head free for your guests on the wedding day.
Wedding DJ on Lanzarote
How do we choose the music for our wedding?
You send me your top 20 beforehand, roughly an hour of music, plus a list of no-gos. From that I build your evening and add what suits your guests. We choose the last song of the night together. On the night I work in guests' requests when they fit the mood.

Event DJ for companies and hotels on Lanzarote

Which corporate events can you be booked for on Lanzarote?
Companies, hotels and incentive agencies book me on Lanzarote for galas, Christmas parties, incentives, product presentations, client events and hotel parties. Since 2005 I have played around 250 corporate events, for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bucherer and Beiersdorf among others. From Costa Teguise I'm quickly at the hotels in Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca or Arrecife.

Do you adapt the music to our brand and our audience?
That's exactly what a corporate event is about: music that fits your brand and your guests. In the briefing we clarify the target group, agenda and dress code. At the reception I play discreetly, for the party live-mixed house, charts and party classics. I work your company playlist or favourite songs in at the right moment.
Do we get a proper invoice as a company?
Of course – after the event you receive a proper invoice for your company, even if you book from abroad. That applies to companies, hotels and agencies. For the quote I only need the date, venue, number of guests and occasion, and you'll have it within 24 hours.

Private parties, villa parties and clubs

Do you also play birthdays and villa parties on Lanzarote?
I'd love to bring club sound to your private celebration, whether a milestone birthday, an anniversary or a party at your holiday villa. Everything is mixed live and adapts to your guests. Shorter events start at €1,000 including taxes. For villas, please check with the owner beforehand how long and how loud you may celebrate. I'll match the equipment to that.
Do you also play in clubs, bars and beach clubs?
Clubs are my roots: I have played over 1,000 club nights, as a resident in clubs and bars on Sylt, in Hamburg and across northern Germany, plus festivals such as Airbeat One. In the club I play house, tech house, melodic techno, urban beats and hip-hop, 100 % mixed live.
Clubs and beach clubs on Lanzarote and the Canary Islands are welcome to get in touch.

DJ and saxophone on Lanzarote

What is DJ & Sax, and which events does it suit?
With DJ & Sax I mix live and a saxophonist plays live over the tracks. It suits weddings, galas, corporate and hotel events and villa parties. I've been doing DJ & Sax for over 10 years, at more than 50 events, for Volkswagen and Lamborghini among others. I work with saxophonists on Lanzarote and can fly in colleagues I have played with for years.
→ Link: DJ & Saxophone on Lanzarote
How long does the saxophonist play?
For the party the saxophonist usually plays three sets of 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the musician, and does so when the dance floor is at its fullest. For a surcharge he also plays at the reception or over dinner. For a champagne reception the saxophone is available without the DJ as well, and for even more live energy a percussionist can join on request.

Music

What music does DJ Ben Faze play?
I'm an open-format DJ with club roots and play house, charts, hip-hop, Latin, dance and party classics, plus relaxed lounge over dinner. Because everything is mixed live, I react immediately when the dance floor needs something different.
German Schlager and Ballermann party hits are not my focus. Whatever you don't want to hear simply goes on your no-go list.
Do you play guests' requests?
To me, guests' requests are part of a good party. I'm happy to take them on the night and play them when they fit the mood on the dance floor. Your no-go list always takes priority. That way it stays your evening, and every guest still feels heard.
Where can we listen to your mixes?
In my media library you'll find mixes and videos, including DJ & Sax at events for Volkswagen and Lamborghini. More sets are on SoundCloud (soundcloud.com/djbenfaze) and YouTube (@djbenfaze), impressions from events on Instagram at @djbenfaze. So you can hear in advance what I sound like. → Link: DJ mixes and videos

Equipment and outdoor events on Lanzarote

Do you bring sound and lighting equipment?
I always bring my own DJ setup. In addition I organise professional sound and lighting to suit the venue and the number of guests, itemised separately in the quote. If your hotel or finca already has a system, I coordinate directly with the in-house technicians. So you get everything from one source.
Can you celebrate outdoors on Lanzarote, even when it's windy?
Celebrating under the open sky is part of Lanzarote, and with good planning the trade wind is no problem. Growing up on Sylt as a surfer, I was raised with wind. We settle beforehand with the venue and the technical partner where the DJ booth and speakers stand protected, how everything is secured and whether there is a plan B under a roof. How long and how loud you may celebrate outdoors is for your venue to decide.

Islands and travel

Where on Lanzarote do you play?
I play all over the island, and travel on Lanzarote is always included. Home is Costa Teguise. From here I reach Arrecife, Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca, Teguise, Haría, Tinajo or Yaiza without long drives. Hotel, finca, bodega in La Geria or a venue by the sea: I coordinate the equipment with every venue beforehand.
Do you also play on Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife or La Graciosa?
I play on every Canary Island that is easy to reach by plane or ferry. La Graciosa and Fuerteventura I reach by ferry, Gran Canaria and Tenerife by plane. Travel and accommodation costs and the extra travel time are itemised transparently in the quote. I organise sound and lighting to suit the venue on the respective island.
Do you also come to Mallorca or mainland Europe?
On request I also come to events outside the Canaries. I have already played in France, on Mallorca, on the Spanish mainland and in Tuscany. Here too, travel, accommodation and travel time are itemised transparently in the quote. Just ask with your date and location.

Languages

Is there an English-speaking DJ on Lanzarote?
With me you have a DJ who lives right here on Lanzarote, in Costa Teguise, and plans with you in English or German, whichever you prefer. At weddings and events with guests from the UK, Ireland, Germany and other countries I combine everyone's favourite songs with an international sound.
Which languages do you speak on the microphone?
On the microphone I deliberately keep it short: welcome, programme points and special moments. That works in English, German or Danish. I'm still learning Spanish, so I don't speak Spanish on the microphone. With me the music is the focus anyway.
