Moving from DJ Event Planner to Gig Nest
DJ Event Planner has been the engine room of multi-op DJ companies for years — planning forms, a music database and website plug-ins that genuinely work, which is exactly why so many businesses still run on it. What it wasn't built for is 2026: every enquiry still waits for a human to type, and a UK business pays in US dollars. Keep the discipline. Add the AI — and pay in pounds.
DJ Event Planner pricing: $20–$50/mo (USD), Standalone to Premium Plus, billed via PayPal

What you keep
- • Your clients, enquiries and event history — import them from CSV exports
- • Your packages, pricing structure and planning discipline
- • Team logins with their own access — first-class here too
What you gain
- + Enquiries read, scored and answered in your voice, day or night
- + An AI phone receptionist add-on, so missed calls become booked dates
- + Clients plan by conversation in their portal — no long forms
- + UK-first: pounds, Stripe payments, and VAT invoicing on the Agency plan
- + Crew statements at month end — the paperwork for paying your roster
The ten-minute import
Drop any export into our importer — a CSV, a calendar file, even a PDF of contracts or invoices — and the AI reads your bookings, clients and venues in for you to review. Nothing is re-typed, nothing imports until you approve it, and every record stays editable afterwards.
Or we'll do it for you — free
Email your exports to hello@gig-nest.com with the subject Migration and a human will have your account set up within one working day. Whatever files you can get out — spreadsheets, PDFs, screenshots of your diary — we'll work with them.
Run both side by side
Nothing here requires cancelling your current platform on day one. Import your bookings, take a few enquiries through the new flow, and switch off the old one when — and only when — you're sure. Your data stays exportable here too, always.
Getting your data out of DJ Event Planner
DJ Event Planner can export your data — look for export options in your reports and admin tools, or ask their support team for CSV exports of your clients and events; their UK support team can point you to the right screens. Can't find an export? UK GDPR gives you the right to a copy of your data — their support has to provide it — or just email us whatever you can download and we'll take it from there.
The move
- 1. Export clients and events from DJ Event Planner as CSV
- 2. Drop the files on the Import page — the AI reads them, you approve every row
- 3. Recreate your packages — ten minutes, and AI quoting picks them up immediately
- 4. Point your enquiry form or widget at us and watch the first reply send itself
We'll help with the import — reply to any email from us and a human reads it.
