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

Corporate parties
Music pitched to a mixed crowd.
Themed nights
Sets matched to the era or theme.
Christmas parties
Floor fillers for the biggest night of the year.
Launches
A soundtrack built around your brand.
Weddings
From the first dance to the last song.
DJ with live acts
Sax, violin or percussion over the set.

Tips from our team
