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

Sax, violin or percussion over the set.
Weddings
From the first dance to the last song.
Themed nights

Christmas parties
Floor fillers for the biggest night of the year.
Launches

Does the DJ bring sound and lights?
