What does an event DJ provide?

An event DJ plays music through the night, reading the crowd and building the mood from background music during drinks to a full dance floor later on. Most also handle announcements and work with your running order.

DJs can bring their own sound system and lighting or plug into the venue's setup. They pair brilliantly with live acts such as a saxophonist or violinist, and can theme a set to match your night, from 1920s swing to disco and current chart.

Where it works best

  • Launches

    A soundtrack built around your brand.

  • Themed nights

    Sets matched to the era or theme.

  • Weddings

    From the first dance to the last song.

  • Corporate parties

    Music pitched to a mixed crowd.

  • DJ with live acts

    Sax, violin or percussion over the set.

  • Christmas parties

    Floor fillers for the biggest night of the year.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Agree the timings

    Set times, announcements and the last song should all be on the running order.

  2. 2

    Check the venue system

    Some venues have house sound or noise limiters. We confirm what the DJ needs to bring.

  3. 3

    Share must-plays and do-not-plays

    A short list helps the DJ get it right for your crowd.
