Mobile DJs

Think of the classic “DJ Bob up the road” who sets up his speakers at the local pub or spins tracks for a friend’s birthday party. These are part-time DJs, often doing it for the love of music and a bit of extra cash on the weekends.

Typical Cost: £250 – £400 per night

What you get: A simple setup, some lights, and a basic playlist to keep the music flowing.

Best for: Small parties, community events, or budget-friendly weddings.

Mobile DJs are usually hobbyists rather than professionals. They can be fun and affordable, but the level of skill, music selection, and overall event management isn’t always guaranteed.

👉 The sweet spot, though, is finding a DJ who offers event-level performance at mobile prices – giving you professional quality without the inflated cost. That’s exactly what we do with our Event DJ service.

Event DJs

Event DJs are a step up in professionalism. These are the DJs who treat it as a career, not a hobby. They invest in high-end sound and lighting equipment, curate unique playlists, and often add MC-style hosting skills to the mix.

Typical Cost: £800 – £3k for private events, £5k – £10k+ for large-scale productions.

What you get: Professional-grade setups, seamless mixing, and the ability to read the crowd and adjust the energy throughout the night.

Best for: Weddings, corporate events, festivals, and private parties delivered to a high-profile standard.

A good example of an event DJ is Nick Spinelli, who has become something of a celebrity in the wedding and private event industry. Known for his ability to blend creative transitions with energy-packed sets, Spinelli brings the vibe of a nightclub to events while keeping things polished and professional.

👉 If you’re looking for this kind of energy and professionalism, you don’t necessarily have to spend thousands. Our Event DJ packages are designed to give you that same polished experience at a far more accessible price.

Superstar DJs

Then there’s the top tier: the international names you see headlining festivals like Tomorrowland or Creamfields. DJs like James Hype, Steve Aoki, or Calvin Harris aren’t just playing music – they’re global brands.

James Hype: Around £30k+ per night. Known for his technical mixing and viral performances.

Steve Aoki: £60k – £100k+ per night, plus don’t forget the famous cake-throwing antics.

Calvin Harris / Tiësto / David Guetta: These names can command £200,k+ for a single appearance at a major festival or club.

Superstar DJs don’t just bring music – they bring a following. Their fees reflect not only their talent but also the draw of their name on a flyer, which can sell out events in minutes.
