From around £200 upwards you can hire DJs through DJ Agencies who can help you plan your entertainment whether it’s a party DJ, wedding DJ or you need a corporate DJ.
If you contact DJs directly you may find that DJ has a particular set that he/she plays regardless of your tastes so if you choose to approach it in this way then I’d suggest you contact three to four and compare their playlists, check to see if they can offer you some different era’s of music and if they are happy to play requests at your party.
Should you choose the option to approach DJ Agencies you may have a little more choice, I’ve listed a few of those options you might face below:
Corporate DJs
Expect high end presentation and high quality sound & tunage with experience in attending large venues and of course your DJ should be well used to dealing with a tough dance crowd!
Corporate DJs should offer variety though as not all corporate events are at large venues, as well you know! So check that your DJ can alter the set to provide the same great atmosphere at a smaller more personal venue too.
Party DJs
Whether its your local party DJ or Pete Tong you want at your bash then you need to think about one thing, can they play music you want?
Do you want heavy house for a young crowd that’s hard to please or do you fancy pop music for the varied ages of guests at your party? Ask the right questions and you’ll end up with a party that’s remembered for all the right reasons.
Wedding DJs
DJ Agencies always have an option to offer a DJ and often a compere for your wedding reception. The best thing about an agency is that they can arrange travel and overnight stays for the DJ you have chosen so that you can focus on other important aspects of organising your big day.
I hope this helps you see just some of the different DJs available because booking a DJ isn’t just about booking DJ Donkey that plays at the local pub, its about hiring a professional that caters for your needs and not his or hers!
