“How Much Does It Cost to Book a Luxury DJ in NYC?” → Cover different tiers, what you’re actually paying for (taste, exclusivity, experience), and why Twilo is the Vogue of DJs.
Costs range from $2,500 to $100,000 depending on the event scale, venue, and exclusivity. DJ Twilo specializes in curating music for luxury hotels, fashion houses, and private estates—bringing Vogue-level taste to your party.
  • What’s the difference between booking a lounge DJ vs. an EDM DJ?

    Lounge DJs set the mood (think Cipriani aperitivo hour), while EDM DJs bring festival energy (think Marquee peak hour). Twilo bridges both worlds, curating deep lounge sets or explosive EDM drops depending on the vibe.


  • What genres can DJ Twilo spin? House, downtempo, EDM, indie dance, nu-disco, throwback hip hop, even yacht rock. Twilo’s niche is tailoring the setlist to the brand, fashion show, or client aesthetic.


  • Can I book a DJ for a Hamptons private party or yacht event?


    Yes. DJ Twilo frequently plays Hamptons estates, Montauk after-hours, and Sag Harbor yacht decks, perfectly mixing luxury soundscapes with coastal cool.


  • How long is a typical DJ set?

    Sets usually run 4–6 hours, including a curated pre-party playlist and an optional wind-down set. For galas and fashion shows, timing is tailored to the production schedule.


  • What’s included when booking a high-end DJ service?


  • Pre-event strategy call, curated playlist moodboard, professional sound system, early soundcheck, and a branded experience that aligns with your event.


  • Do DJs play fashion shows differently than nightclubs?


    Absolutely. Fashion shows demand seamless transitions, mood-shaping beats, and runway timing. Twilo has performed for Vogue and Prada, syncing music to match collection narratives.


  • Can DJ Twilo remix tracks for my brand’s event?


  • Yes. Twilo produces custom edits and remixes so your event soundtrack is 100% exclusive no recycled Spotify playlists here.


  • How far in advance should I book a DJ for a private event?

    Luxury DJs book about 1–6 months ahead, especially during peak summer Hamptons season and Fashion Week. The earlier, the better.


  • Do DJs travel outside NYC?


  • Yes—Twilo has spun in Miami, LA, Rome, Ibiza, and the South of France. Destination events are not just possible—they’re the specialty.
