Choosing the Right DJ

A mobile DJ can play a pub function room in North Hobart, a hotel ballroom in the city centre, a wharf shed on the waterfront or a farm hall out of town. The right choice depends on the crowd, since a kids' disco, a school social, a fortieth and a wedding each need a different set and a different volume.

What separates one DJ from another:

Whether they also MC, since running speeches, toasts and the first dance takes practice.
Lighting rigs, moving heads and dry ice, and whether the venue allows haze.
Extras such as a photo booth, a 360 video booth, hosted karaoke or a live slideshow.
A generator for lawns, sheds and marquees without reliable power.
Pricing, with DJ hire quoted from $380.

All three DJs cover all six regions. Check noise limits and finish times with the venue before you settle on a set length, and see entertainment or photo booths for add-ons.

Send a list of must-play songs and a short do-not-play list.
Share the run sheet, including when food is served and when speeches start.
Say how much you want the DJ on the microphone and how much in the background.
Tell them the age range so the music fits the room.

Setup at different venues

Pub and bar function rooms often have house sound, so ask whether the DJ can plug in.
Farm halls and marquees in the valleys may need a generator or a long power run.
Heritage buildings can have tight stairs and doors, so confirm load-in access.
Waterfront decks need cover for gear when the weather turns.
