Thanks to the wonderful world of COVID a lot of business have had to ensure our cancellation policy is updated and reflects the ever changing world. Here is our policy in full:
Komodo Music Terms and Conditions
1. It is understood by the client that the $200.00 deposit (Two Hundred Dollars) is non-refundable.
2. If client cancels 30 days prior to event, all monies paid will be refunded (apart from deposit).
3. All outstanding monies must be paid if cancelled after 30 days to event and full balance must be paid 7 days prior to event.
4. If the client meets with their allocated DJ and is not satisfied, providing it is reasonable to do so, Komodo Music will re-allocate a DJ and organise another meeting.
5. If there is an emergency on the day of the function, Komodo Music will do everything within its power to cover a show with a replacement DJ or equipment.
6. It is also understood any damage to equipment caused by the client or guests will be the client's responsibility to pay, repair or replace.
COVID and Pandemic additions
7. If an event is cancelled due to local WA/state government order, regardless of how close the wedding is the deposit/amounts paid are made into credit and transferred to a new date. The client will have 1 year from the original date of the wedding to pick a new date. After that time the credit will become forfeit.
8. If an event can go ahead but the restrictions placed on it make it superfluous (i.e. only 5 people can attend, social distancing means most of the planned guests cannot attend now, etc) the wedding can be transferred to a new date as the above
9. If an event is cancelled as a precaution or personal choice (i.e. family can no longer attend due to other state/country COVID restrictions) but there is no local WA/state government order restricting the event going ahead our standard cancellation policies apply.
10. If possible, Komodo Music will try to give the same DJ.
11. If the reschedule date selected clashes with other events and Komodo Music cannot deliver the service, the full balance be refunded minus the $200 deposit
12. Komodo Music, at its discretion, can change or waive certain terms and conditions when we feel it is appropriate and on individual circumstances.

Get Expert AdviceHow much are travel fees for wedding bands/djs?
G'day. We're currently tossing up between a city wedding and a destination wedding in the country. Wondering how much wedding bands/djs charge to travel (and if they even want to?) How far are they willing to travel for a wedding? Thanks!
What are your favourite songs to play at a wedding?
We're starting to think about song choices for our wedding. I'm curious about what songs musicians love to play at weddings (vs the cliched ones they get asked about!). Would love to hear your personal favourites?
Komodo Music
Ok- Strap yourself in! I'm about to give you the key to creating the best wedding playlist that has served my company for 15 years!
Nostalgia!
The trick is not to play "Old" or "New" songs but songs that create a memory for you. I call them my "OMG I haven't heard this song in AGES" songs and can come from any era and any genre! Now the trick for a DJ is looking at the crowd, their ages, temperment and backgrounds (is this a country wedding or a city wedding, etc) and then knowing which songs will get that reaction.
It is also important to have this reaction all through dinner so by dessert people are litterally itching to get on the dance floor.
I will give you a few of my personal favorites to play during the dinner part which will I know work for 90% of weddings:
Hopefully this will give you an idea of what I'm refering to. General rule of thumb is if you can see yourself singing in the car with your friends to a song chances are everyone will sing it at their tables at the wedding!
Hope that helps :-)

Is it OK to have a do-not-play list at our wedding?
Hi there. There are some songs I really don't want played at our wedding but I know some of my family will request it. Can I give our DJ a list of these songs - but how do they handle it with the guests? I don't want to offend anyone.
Komodo Music
Hi.
So the TL:DR version- Yes of course it is ok to have a Do Not Play List at your wedding!
Firstly it is your wedding. If people really want to hear a song that you hate they can always listen to it on the car ride home. Your wedding is not a Kareoke bar, you have control what happens.
Secondly, if you provide a list to the DJ and the DJ is good at their job, no one will be offended- We often have DNP lists given by the couple and if someone requests that song we just tell them "Sorry the bride has requested that on the DNP list, but give me something else and I'm sure we can try to get it on for you"
Thirdly and most importantly, most people really don't care what music is played as long as it gets them dancing. This is why some weddings heavy metal is a fan favorite and others its all 80's pop. Everyone is different so reading the crowd is what makes a DJ worth their salt. If someone was to keep bothering you and you give the DJ permission to play that song, all that will happen is you will go to the bar, get a drink, and come back for the next one. If I offered 50 of my past couples $100 if they can tell me 5 songs I played at their wedding most wouldn't be able to do it. That's because you don't remember the songs, you remember the party.
Now some ways you can cheat the system- If you are sending out RSVPs give your guests the option to request 2 or 3 songs for the dance floor. That way you can veto any terrible requests early while giving them still the option for other songs they want to hear. You will find a lot of the classics will keep popping up and if any are ones you have on your DNP you can make a decision there.
Hope that helps and puts your mind at easy :-)
Kind regards,

Hi!
So I can't speak for every DJ or band (especially since different states also have different pricing structures) but I can certainly give you an idea of how we do our pricing for events outside of Perth.
So generally speaking we would charge $110ph of travel. So if the venue is 2 hours outside of Perth that is a 4 hour round trip so the travel fee would be $440. Anything over 2 hours we would usually also charge an accommodation cost too (as nobody wants to be driving 2+ hours at 1am in the morning.) Depending on where this is and what time of year it is the accommodation can be anywhere between an extra $100 to $300.
We usually offer 2 options- One where the travel fee is just the travel time and the customer takes care of accommodation for us, or a second option where we charge for travel and accommodation which we will take care of.
This allows the customer to potentially save some money if they have a deal with the onsite accommodation.
We have also done interstate and international weddings where we essentially do the same thing but instead of travel time its tickets and the accommodation is anywhere between 3-7 days. We usually also need to charge a equipment hire fee as well as the cost of bringing over speakers and lighting is not cost effective. Depending on which location this can also add significant costs to the quote (for example- hiring from a local AV company in Melbourne is going to be different from hiring from a company in Bali).
I would suggest getting a quote for the baseline service in local areas and then finding out their travel fees. Sometimes a travel fee may be much higher than normal because the company doesn't really want to travel but sometimes the accommodation might be in such high demand that the only place the DJ can stay is at the over priced B&B.
Hope that gives you a starting point :-)
