Need a little help hiring a function DJ?

If you’re not quite sure where to start with finding the perfect live music or entertainment for your event, then we’re here to help. Here are answers to some of our most frequently asked questions...

Where can I hire a professional function DJ?

Professional function DJs can be hired from an entertainment agency, such as Tailored Entertainment. Tailored Entertainment exclusively represents a host of the best function DJs and on this website you'll find videos, photos and testimonials - everything you need to hire the perfect DJ for you. When hiring a function DJ with Tailored Entertainment your booking will be secured by a booking contract between you and the act. Standard payment terms are a deposit to secure the booking (usually around 20% of the total fee) with the balance payable 7 days in advance of the event.

How much does it cost to hire a function DJ?

For professional function DJs, a base-level starting price is around £750. At this price, you’re ensuring that your DJ is of the highest standard and has the requisite skill set, equipment, and production to perform at any function venue in the country. Keep in mind that this is a starting price, and some DJs (particularly with live music add-ons) are going to cost more than this.

How long do function DJs perform for?

Most function DJs will perform between 730pm and midnight as standard.

How long do function DJs take to set up and sound check?

Most function DJs take around 60-90 minutes to be fully set up and sound checked. Our expert team will ensure a viable plan is in place ahead of your event so you have nothing to worry about on the day.

Can function DJs perform a set at my drinks reception?

Absolutely! Most function DJs on the Tailored Entertainment roster offer a full day music package as an add-on to their standard booking. You’ll find this listed under ‘optional extras’ on the DJ's profile.

Alternatively, you could book one of our dedicated drinks reception entertainment options like a stunning soloist or string quartet.

Do function DJs provide all their own equipment?

Yes, all of our function DJs come fully self-contained with premium audio and lighting equipment.
