West Midlands, Shropshire & Staffordshire
Birthday DJ hire for your kind of party.
Your favourite songs, friends and family together, and a birthday worth celebrating. I’m Carl. Whether you’re planning your own party or a surprise for someone else, we’ll plan the music together and I’ll be your DJ on the night.
Birthday DJ packages from £295
You don’t need to have everything planned or choose a package before enquiring. Send your date and I’ll help with the next step.
A big birthday, or simply a reason to celebrate
From 18th and 21st birthdays to 30ths, 40ths, 50ths, 60ths and beyond, your party should reflect the person celebrating.
Perhaps your friends love one style of music and your family another. You might be unsure where to start with a playlist, or want a DJ who keeps microphone chat to a minimum. We’ll talk through your tastes and your guests, then shape the evening around them.
What’s included in your birthday DJ hire?
I provide the music, sound and party lighting, with the practical details agreed before your birthday.
- Music planning with me — your favourite songs, styles and anything you don’t want played.
- Your DJ for the party — playing for your guests and responding to the dancefloor.
- Sound and party lighting — with a choice of setups to suit your room and celebration.
- Agreed birthday announcements — tell me about speeches, cake cutting or a surprise.
- Setup and pack down — arranged around your venue, outside your agreed playing time.
I hold £5 million public liability insurance and use safety-tested equipment. View information for your venue.
How do we choose your party music?
You don’t need to put a whole playlist together. A few favourites, the styles you enjoy and an idea of who’s coming give us a starting point.
Tell me what you love
Favourite decades, songs from nights out or tracks your friends always sing along to — tell me what makes it your party. We’ll agree must-play songs and anything you’d rather avoid.
Plan the important moments
We agree your playing times, how you’d like the party to start and any speeches or surprises. You can ask questions and share ideas before the night.
Enjoy the party
On the night, I watch how your guests respond and adjust the music as the evening develops. I welcome requests that fit your tastes and the moment.
That’s my STAR approach: Scan, Track, Adapt, Respond. In everyday terms, I read the room and choose the next song to suit the people dancing.

How do I book?
Check your date
Send your party date and venue or likely town. Add your guest numbers and preferred start and finish times if you know them.
Talk through your plans
I’ll check availability and help you choose a package. Share your budget if you have one. You’ll receive a clear quote with the price, playing times and what’s included.
Confirm and plan
Your date is booked once I’ve confirmed it in writing and received the booking payment. We then plan your music and agree the venue arrangements.
Find the right birthday DJ package
Every package includes planning with me, your DJ, sound and party lighting. Choose a simple setup for a smaller celebration, more sound and lighting for a bigger party, or a setup planned around your own ideas.
Packages from £295
Compare The Celebration, The Big Night and The Birthday Takeover on the birthday packages page, where you can see what each includes.
Your quote confirms the final price, including playing times, travel and any extras. You can also ask about mirror balls, extra lighting or microphones for speeches; the options and any venue restrictions are agreed beforehand.
A few things you might want to know
Can I choose the music and avoid certain songs?
Yes. Share your favourites, must-play tracks and do-not-play list. I’ll use these to guide the party and adapt the music to your guests as the night develops.
Do you take requests or make announcements?
Requests are welcome when they fit your preferences and the moment. I keep microphone use to helpful, agreed announcements. Tell me about any birthday speeches or surprises when we plan.
Can you DJ in a hotel, garden or marquee?
Yes, with suitable space, safe power and access. Garden and marquee parties need a dry, sheltered area for the equipment. Tell me about your venue so we can agree the right arrangements.
What time do you start and finish?
We agree your playing times before you book. Setup and pack down happen outside those times. Share any venue finishing time or sound restrictions, and let me know if your plans are still provisional.
Can I organise a party for someone else?
Absolutely. Tell me about the person celebrating, the music they enjoy and who’s coming. If it’s a surprise, we’ll agree how to keep it that way and plan any announcements together.
