As with just about everything else involved in a traditional events, professional DJs are expensive. That’s not to say it isn’t worth it the entertainment can make or break your event!
For example, a good DJ can read the flow of the party and choose the appropriate songs for the mood or get people on the dance floor. They can make announcements and come with their own light and smoke shows. However, I’ve heard so many horror stories about DJs that it seems to be that the £300 DJ considered “budget” might not even be worth that. Many people decide to DIY DJ for many reasons:
A decent DJ could be a good 10% of the total budget.They may not need anyone to make announcements.Perhaps the venue is small and a big DJ setup could overwhelm the space.They don’t listen to “Top 40” songs and would rather have total control over the playlist.
There are a ton of reasons to hire a professional DJ, but if you simply can’t swing it for whatever reason, there are ways to pull it off yourself. Read on for step-by-step instructions on how to pull this off!
Step one: Get in contact with us regarding your event. We will ask the following questions regarding the event for EG: When is the event (date) how long is the event start & end times once we have established that information we can move to step two.
Step Two: what software/playlist app will you use? Choose the app from which to play the music. Apple Music and Spotify are both popular choices as they have unlimited streaming options for around £10/mo and you can cancel at anytime.
