Although a DJ’s main role is to provide music for an event, there’s so much more to what they do.
A DJ is a key part of any event. Someone who can read the room, pick the right songs and fill the dancefloor will keep a party going. Someone who doesn’t know those skills is little better than a Spotify playlist streamed through a phone.
DJs don’t always need to be the centre of attention. They can be used to provide backing music at certain events, giving a certain atmosphere to proceedings without overpowering what truly is the central part of the day.
Both a great and a terrible DJ hire will provide a night you’ll never forget – but if it’s your wedding day, you’ll want to remember it for all the right reasons.
Wedding DJsOn your big day, you want everything to be perfect. From playing the music for your first dance to making sure everyone enjoys themselves at the reception, the DJ and their music are a big part of your celebrations. Doing your research and getting the best wedding DJ you can goes a long way to creating a memorable experience.
Birthday party DJsWhether you’re hiring out a warehouse for your 30th or you’ve booked a room at the local pub, your own DJ can give your party an edge. DJs are perfect for themed parties too – just make sure that they know if there’s a certain decade they should be focusing on with their music selection.
Corporate DJsFor corporate events, you should hire a DJ who will be reliable, who shares your brand’s values and has experience with this kind of work before. Speaking to the DJs who get in touch with you will give you a sense of their skills and attitude, and whether they’re a good fit for your event.
Children’s party DJsChildren’s parties require different DJs altogether. Certain genres of music go out the window, songs with explicit lyrics are a no-no and, depending on the age of your children, a knowledge of The Wiggles’ back catalogue is a must.
