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

Music pitched to a mixed crowd.

Themed nights

Do venues around Chelmsford have rules for performers?
Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.
How much do DJs cost in Chelmsford?
There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually.

Does the DJ bring sound and lights?
Usually, yes, sized to your room. If the venue has a house system, the DJ can plug in instead.
Can we send a playlist?
Yes. Must-plays, requests and songs to avoid all help the DJ plan the night.
Can the DJ make announcements?
Yes. Most DJs handle announcements and can work to your running order.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.

Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.
