Alanya pricing
What it costs in Alanya
Real numbers, published, in euros. Every couple asking for a quote is really asking whether they can afford the conversation, and hiding the figure wastes both our afternoons.
Weddings from €2,400 · Corporate from €2,000 · Production from €600
Wedding packages
| Package | What is in it | From |
|---|---|---|
| Reception | DJ, main system for up to 150 outdoors, dance-floor lighting, two radio mics, load-in, matting and strike | €2,400 |
| Ceremony + reception | Adds a separate ceremony system with redundant radio mics, sofreh or arch lighting, and an operator standing at the ceremony | €3,400 |
| Full production | Adds ambient and decorative lighting across the terrace, staging or dance flooring, monitors, and a technical rider filed with your hotel | €5,200 |
| Two-night (kına gecesi + wedding) | A henna night the evening before as a second build with its own crew, plus the wedding package of your choice | €3,900 |
Most weddings here land between €3,200 and €5,500. What moves it is guest count, whether the ceremony needs its own system, how much light an open terrace takes, and whether there is a second night.

| Corporate or incentive gala | Staging, lectern, screens, playback, compère, technician in the room | €2,000 |
| Welcome or closing party | Sound, light and a DJ for an arriving group | €1,400 |
| Private party: villa, yacht or beach club | DJ, system sized to the terrace, ambient lighting | €1,200 |

Add-ons
| Add-on | Detail | From |
|---|---|---|

| Second operator | Any night where the booth cannot be left while announcements are made | €250 |
What is not in the price
- Your venue. The largest number in your budget and not ours. Peak-season hotels here commonly add 20 to 30 per cent between June and September.
- Turkish VAT. Quoted as a separate line where it applies to your booking.
- Travel beyond the Alanya district. Stated as a line, never hidden in the rate.
- Bank charges. International transfer fees are the sender's. Send gross or the invoice arrives short.
- Planning, calls, setup and strike. These are in the price. A supplier who itemises them is inflating your comparison.
Where this sits in the market
A DJ on his own in this region is commonly quoted at €400 to €800, and a professional Antalya wedding DJ with sound and lighting at €800 to €1,500; a live band runs €1,200 to €2,500 (RamaRossi's entertainment guide). The same publisher's cost guide puts a mid-range destination wedding for fifty to a hundred guests at €10,000 to €30,000.
Our starting figure is above the commodity DJ rate by a multiple, and it sits between eight and twenty-four per cent of that mid-range band, which is where entertainment and production normally sit in a well-planned budget. It is not the cheapest number you will be quoted on this coast and it is not meant to be.

Pricing questions
Why euros and not lira?
Because that is what this market quotes in. Every published destination-wedding budget in Türkiye is denominated in euros, and quoting a lira figure eighteen months out puts the currency risk on a couple who cannot hedge it. Clients resident in Türkiye are quoted in lira: Turkish currency law constrains foreign-currency contracts between residents.
Is the price fixed?
Fixed, in writing, in euros, before you book. It does not move afterwards whatever the exchange rate does.
Does Turkish VAT apply?
Türkiye’s standard KDV rate is 20 per cent. Whether it applies to your booking depends on the contracting entity, and it is always quoted as a separate visible line rather than folded into the figure.
What is the deposit?
Your written quote and contract state the deposit and payment schedule before any money moves.
Do you charge for travel?
Not inside the Alanya district. Manavgat, Side and Gazipaşa carry a stated travel line. Antalya city is about two hours each way and quoted openly, including an overnight where the out time needs one.
Why is a peak-season Saturday more expensive?
Ours is not, materially. The venue’s is: hotels here commonly add 20 to 30 per cent between June and September. We tell you that because it is the largest single number in your budget and it is not ours.
How does this compare to a local DJ?
A DJ alone in this region is commonly quoted at €400 to €800. That is a real price for a real service and it is not what this is. Our figure covers the DJ, sound, lighting design, planning and the person who talks to your hotel about power and curfew.
Is MC service included?
No. Emshab provides DJ and production services in English, but does not provide MC services. We coordinate music cues and microphones with the host or MC you arrange.
