"Jared DJ'd for my daughter's 16th birthday party and he was great."
Chloe hired Lead Events for a Birthday party (available in Basingstoke)
"Gary was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding blessing on June 20th. From our initial conversations through to the day itself, he was highly professional, responsive, and genuinely interested in making our celebration special. What impressed us most was his willingness to step outside his usual playlist to accommodate our vision. We wanted a diverse mix of Latin, international, and party music - not the typical wedding DJ fare - and Gary delivered beautifully, even when it meant learning new material. His announcements for the first dance and cake cutting were perfectly timed and added to the magic of those moments. He also did a brilliant job managing the energy when we opened the evening buffet, keeping the atmosphere lively and fun. We couldn't have asked for better. If you're looking for a DJ who listens, adapts, and genuinely cares about your day, Gary is your person. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"Thank you Gary for being our DJ and creating an amazing party atmosphere! You made the night really special for my mum's 80th birthday, getting us all dancing and even creating a special song for my mum. Your communication leading up to the event was brilliant so we had a clear plan for the event. As my step dad said to you at the end of the night 'You, sir, are very special'. "

FAQs about hiring Birthday Party DJs in Basingstoke
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Will the DJ take requests and can they play my favourite song?
Yes and yes! DJs can play just about any tune imaginable - their 'real' job is to make the music as seemless and smooth as possible; a rolling wave of the music you know and love. Professional DJs usually have a large selection of music to draw from, and can cover all kinds of styles and genres. If you're a sucker for a specific or niche style, you can bet there's a DJ out there who's mastered it. Let your DJ know ahead of time if there are songs you'd like included in the set: they'll throw it into their musical jambalaya with ease!
How much time do DJs take to set up?
Your DJ will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the DJ prior to their arrival.
