Graduation Party Hunter Valley

A graduation party in the Hunter Valley usually brings two crowds together: the graduate's friends, who want to dance, and the family, who want to hear a few words said. Music that moves between the two, and someone to handle the toasts, makes the night work for both.

Avid Entertainment, a DJ agency supplying open-format DJs across the Hunter Valley, take graduation parties as well as school formals, birthdays and corporate events. Open-format means the DJ can play across styles rather than one genre, which helps when grandparents and graduates share the same floor. Their DJs can also take on MC duties, from introductions to formalities, and back-up DJs are on call if the booked DJ falls ill.

Avid's published price is for weddings, with packages from $1,650 for up to five hours of DJing and MC duties for $500, so ask for a quote that fits a graduation night.

Questions to cover when you enquire:

• Length: how many hours of DJing your party needs
• Hosting: whether the DJ should MC the speeches and toasts
• Lighting: Avid offer lighting packages if you want a dance floor feel
• Venue: home, function room or restaurant, so the set-up suits the space
