What to brief your party DJ

A short brief goes a long way: era and vibe (90s hip-hop? disco? Top 40?), 5-10 must-play tracks, a do-not-play list, and timing for cake, speeches or surprise moments.

Gear & venue considerations

For backyards, confirm power and noise restrictions early. Halls usually need extra lighting. Many DJs include a small dance-floor wash and uplighting upgrades for milestone parties.

Frequently asked

How much does a birthday party DJ cost?

Most birthday party DJs charge $600-$1,500 depending on hours, gear and travel. Big 40th / 50th / 21st bookings with full PA and lighting sit closer to $1,200-$2,000.

Can you cover a backyard or hall party?

Yes — many of our DJs run compact rigs designed for backyards, halls and small venues. They'll confirm power requirements and noise restrictions ahead of time.

Will the DJ take requests?

Most happily take requests within your agreed music brief. Tell the DJ up front what to lean into and what to avoid.
