What to check in the quote

- Overtime. $200 an hour is the usual Brisbane rate. Agree it before the night.
- Travel. DJ Brad covers the first 50km from Brisbane at no charge.
- Effects. Smoke, haze and confetti can set off alarms or break venue rules, so check with your venue before you book them.
