Most DJs quote per event rather than per hour, with evening bookings in Derby running from about £80 to £1,000+ and typical spends around £300. Hourly figures usually only appear for short add-on slots or extra time at the end of the night. When comparing quotes, check what is included: sound equipment, lighting, setup time and travel are normally built in, while uplighting, an extended set or a separate system for a second room adds to the fee. December dates and peak-season weekends are the first to go, so confirm your date as soon as the venue is settled. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Photo of DJ Raxeh DJ Raxeh "I first saw Dj Raxeh DJ at a close friends surprise birthday party and he was so good that when we had our own event, we just knew straight away that we wanted to hire DJ Raxeh and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, he was professional and accommodating, making sure to take on board our personal music requests beforehand. On the day, he did an amazing job catering to such a mixed crowd – different age groups, different nationalities, and all of our guests unique tastes. The music flowed perfectly, and everyone had a great time on the dance floor. We also really appreciated that he travelled out to us in the West Midlands which made the day even more special. Thank you so much for helping make our celebration unforgettable – we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a talented and versatile DJ!" Based in Nottingham, England (14 miles from Derby) Iona - Gender Reveal Party Photo of Almost Human - Daft Punk Tribute Almost Human - Daft Punk Tribute "Thank you so much for coming - it made the night for everyone. Cannot thank you all enough!" Based in Nottingham, England (14 miles from Derby) Ben Goodwin - Birthday (Private) Photo of Drew Stansall ex The Specials Drew Stansall ex The Specials "I’ve used Drew for a few events at my pub, he is always great at adjusting to the event need and giving the guests a great experience. We also had Drew play at our wedding and he was amazing. He learnt the song I wanted to play us back down the aisle. Amazing saxophone, friendly and easy to work with - would 100% recommend and looking forward to working with him again over Christmas :)" Based in Leicester, England (24 miles from Derby) 12th November 2026 Abby - Wedding/pub event Photo of The Anthems The Anthems "Played last night at our birthday bash - they got everyone dancing - even the blokes! Absolutely brilliant and utterly professional. Worth every penny. Thanks for a great evening gentlemen." Based in Leicester, England (24 miles from Derby) Casrol Heyes - Birthday Party Photo of MES Mobile Disco’s & Events MES Mobile Disco’s & Events "I booked Matt for my 50th Birthday party last month and he was brilliant. He will play exactly what kind of music you want, the link to the music website was really easy to use to select specific songs. I opted for the light up dancefloor and wow it is amazing. With very special touches like messages that go across the floor. It definitely stole the show and is still being talked about amongst my friends and family. Thanks again Matt see you at my 60th" Based in Hinckley, England (27 miles from Derby) Clare Farmer - 50th Birthday Party Photo of DJ Karlton DJ Karlton "Karlton was amazing at our wedding this weekend. He had a great mix of tunes for everyone and included personal songs to us. He had the songs in a perfect order and kept everyone on the dance floor. It was packed all night! Karlton even took some of his own photos on a camera and shared a link for everyone to see the pictures after the wedding - going above and beyond our expectations of a dj. He was punctual, professional and everyone loved the night! We couldn't have asked for a better night or a better dj. Thank you Karlton!" Based in Stone, England (28 miles from Derby) Bonnie - Wedding
