How to choose the right DJ for your venue

Venue success and atmosphere go hand in hand, so it’s important to choose the right DJ to set the tone. Our best advice would be to think about the mood you want to create for your venue, and find a DJ who reflects your goals best.

Do you need a DJ who can bring the energy up and keep the dancefloor packed all night long?
Would your guests benefit more from an all-rounder DJ that spans across genres, or are they coming to your venue exclusively for a specific genre?
Do you want the music to take centre stage, or would you like the set to be used for background ambience and atmosphere-building?

With our DJ booking service, we’ve made it easier than ever for you to browse through artist profiles and learn about each performer’s unique style to find a live musician that matches the needs of your venue.

What is the average cost for DJ booking in the UK?

DJ booking cost depends on multiple factors, such as:

Experience: Established DJs usually present higher booking rates.
Event details: The cost to book DJs can increase depending on set length and start and finish times (also accounting for equipment set-up and breakdown).

Date of booking: If you want to book a DJ for a weekend or bank holiday night, these slots often come at a premium.

Will I need to provide a playlist when booking DJs?

A very fair question! And the answer is, no, not unless you’d like to.

We have professional musicians available to book on GigPig, which means many of our DJs are confident enough to read the room and shape the set to suit the crowd. That said, our DJs always welcome suggestions if you’re after a specific genre or style for your venue. You can outline any preferences your venue has directly within the gig template on the GigPig app,, so everything is clear from the start.
