How much does a DJ for hire in the UK cost?

You should budget between £150 and £500 to hire a DJ in the UK for an event, depending on the service provider you choose on Poptop. The average cost is £300, and all you have to do is to fill out the Poptop form with your party details. Once this is done, you'll get an instant quote and can book straight away. Take into account that the length of the performance directly impacts the overall cost of the service. The service fee includes the use of all sound equipment, setup, and a soundcheck. The time of year and travel expenditures are all likely to influence the cost of hiring a DJ in the United Kingdom.

Who provides the sound equipment?

The DJ for hire will deliver the sound equipment and will also be in charge of putting it up before the event begins. So, there is no need to be concerned about providing the right equipment. DJ turntables, mixers, controllers, and speakers are some of the equipment that the vendor will provide. Before the event, the DJ will ask you about your favourite music genres, and they will take requests during the event. Just relax and enjoy your party to the full.

Is it a DJ who makes a set list for the event?

Yes, a setlist is provided by the DJ. However, the DJ for hire will ask you about your favourite music genres prior to the event. Also, rest assured that the DJ will take requests throughout the event. You and your guests will enjoy a lively and energetic show and you will go straight to the dance floor. The DJ offers multi-genre music for every kind of guest you have, so there's something for everyone to enjoy.

How much space do I need to set up DJ equipment?

The performance space required is 3 x 2 metres. A 240v plug socket is also required. Hire a fantastic DJ from Poptop to set up a superb music system and light display for your next special event. You and your friends may celebrate in style by dancing all night long to your favourite hits. Set options for your event include 1 x 3-hour set, 1 x 4-hour set, and up to 1 x 8-hour set.

Prior to my event Dj Dano effectively communicated with me regarding my requirements. He also accommodated a last minute request to come earlier. Dj Dano arrived well in advance for our event and set up quickly. He created a great atmosphere for the day, the rustic booth just looks stunning and fitted in with our theme. Great day overall and would highly recommend using him and also use him again.
