FAQs about hiring Birthday Party DJs in Canterbury

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.
