DJ Services Explained: What’s Included With Your Band Booking

3 min. read

When it comes to planning live entertainment, one of the most common questions we hear is: "How can we keep the party going when the band isn't playing?”

Well, we’ve got you covered!

All of our bookings come with a built-in DJ solution – ideal for keeping the energy high throughout your event. Whether you’re organising a wedding, a private party or a corporate event, we offer two great, immersive ways to keep the dance floor full when the band isn’t playing.

Included as Standard With Tailored Entertainment Bands: The Personalised DJ Playlist

Every booking includes a Personalised DJ Playlist – a bespoke selection of songs, chosen by you, played through the band’s PA system before, between, and after live sets. It sounds just like a DJ and ensures there's no dip in the atmosphere between performances.
You’ll be able to request up to 40 songs ahead of time, so the playlist reflects your taste and keeps the vibe just right. It’s a simple, high-quality solution that works beautifully for most events.

Want Something More Interactive? Upgrade to the Manned DJ Service

If you’d prefer a more responsive experience, many of our bands offer a Manned DJ Service as an optional upgrade. This involves a band member taking on DJ duties during the evening – selecting tracks live, reading the room, and taking requests from your guests.

Rather than running through a fixed playlist, this gives you a more dynamic, tailored experience without the need for a separate DJ or booth. The DJ uses the same professional PA and lighting as the band, so your sound and visuals stay seamless from start to finish.

They’ll set up discreetly to one side, remain accessible for song requests, and let the music speak for itself – no shout-outs, no interruptions, just great tunes and great energy.

What’s Right for Your Event?

Both options work brilliantly depending on what you’re looking for:

  • Want a polished, no-fuss solution with your favourite songs? Stick with the Personalised DJ Playlist.
  • Want an interactive, flexible event with a live DJ feel? Go for the Manned DJ Service.

Whichever you choose, we make sure the entertainment keeps flowing all night long.

We believe great events deserve great music from start to finish. With our DJ options, you don’t have to pick between a band and a DJ – you can have both, professionally delivered and tailored to your night.
