Birthday party DJs: 18ths, 21sts, 30ths, 40ths, 50ths and 60ths

50th birthdays

A 50th is usually a mixed-age room. Grandparents, parents and old friends can all be on the same floor, so the set has to move between eras without clearing it. We start with the birthday person's favourites, then the songs the rest of the room will actually dance to.

Speeches go on the mic, then the music comes back up. Our five-hour packages are $900 or $1,200 inc GST. Gold covers up to 120 guests. Ultimate adds the subwoofer for a bigger room.

18ths and 21sts

Current tracks plus the throwbacks the group actually wants. An 18th or a 21st is often one friendship group, so those requests matter more than a generic chart list. Send them ahead of time and we will still leave space to follow the floor once it fills.

Engagement parties and milestone celebrations

These often start relaxed, with people arriving in waves, then turn into a dancefloor once dinner is done. Same two packages, $900 or $1,200 inc GST. Tell us the guest count and we will point you at Gold or Ultimate. A smaller room usually suits Gold. A bigger room, or a night that wants the white setup and uplights, is Ultimate.

Private party DJ hire is the region-wide page.

Corporate and work events

Christmas parties, end-of-year parties, networking functions and product launches use the same two packages, $900 or $1,200 inc GST for five hours. Prices are inc GST.

A work event is a different brief from a 21st. People may still be arriving from the office, and the floor might not start until after awards. We can keep the early set low for networking, then lift it once you want the room up.

The Ultimate package's uplights can brand the room in your corporate colours. A wireless mic covers announcements and awards. Corporate event DJ hire has the general offer, and you can get a corporate quote from here.

School formals

We DJ school formals across the Illawarra, South Coast and Southern Highlands, quoted on venue size and student numbers.
