Most DJs quote per event rather than per hour, with evening bookings in Sunderland running from about £80 to £1,050+ 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 Richard Ellis Hawley music Richard Ellis Hawley music "When Richard Ellis Hawley came out to New Zealand to visit Family and friends I took the opportunity to ask Richard if he would come and play the piano at the local rest home that I was doing voluntary work and Richard came and played to the residents for a couple of hours. Richard played a variety of songs from the era that the residents grew up with they loved him playing it was just wonderful it bought back memories to the residents and put a smile on their faces in fact they didn't want Richard to finish. Also I asked Richard for a CD he made of all his friends favourite songs including mine Unforgettable which was posted over to me in New Zealand where I live and I play it to my friends. Richard is a very gifted and talented musician would recommend him for all occasions." Based in Houghton-Le-Spring, England (6 miles from Sunderland) Cheryll Rand-Wildbore - Rest home event in New Zealand Photo of The Disco Co The Disco Co "The Disco Co did our wedding at Horton Grange this summer. Geoff was our DJ and he was fantastic. He read the mood of the room perfectly, playing songs which got even the most timid of guests up and dancing. He even played a little Mr & Mrs spin off, which was a perfect way to get the guests away from the buffet and onto the dancefloor. Than you for making the evening to unforgettable (although my memory was a bit fuzzy towards the end!)" Based in Durham, England (12 miles from Sunderland) Alex Louise Renny - Wedding Photo of Funky Disco's & Karaoke Funky Disco's & Karaoke "Kevin from Funky Disco arrived with plenty of time to set up for my dad’s surprise 60th party, played all the music I had asked for and any requests taken on the night. Would highly recommend for a function. Thanks Kevin!"

She even dressed up and made a Fantastic effort to run as a entertainer at our party! Her voice is simple incredible! She knows exactly how to get people up and make them feel comfortable!! Highly recommend!!!" Based in Wakefield, England (85 miles from Sunderland) Anna Czajka - Halloween Party Photo of Spaced Spaced "James had a residency while working here with us for 18 months. He hosted a number of sessions and events here, and always played exceptional gigs. He was consistently, professional, reliable, and very capable in managing both the sound tech and the performances themselves. He's been a big loss to us since he left to return to the UK, and you will see what I mean if you get him booked in." Based in Doncaster, England (96 miles from Sunderland) Alan Ness - Private Members Club in Spain
