How to hire a DJ for your event starts with knowing what you need and who you can trust. When you’re planning an event, whether it’s a milestone birthday, a long-awaited wedding, a corporate celebration or even a spontaneous Saturday night party, music matters. It’s not just background noise. It’s the pulse of the party, the thing that fills the dance floor, makes people sing at the top of their lungs, and creates memories that stick. But finding a DJ who can deliver that energy, cater to your tastes, and actually turn up on time can be a challenge. That’s where we come in.
At Out There Entertainments, we’ve been bringing top-quality DJ services to Doncaster and across South Yorkshire since 1999. Over the years, we’ve played just about every kind of event you can imagine, from weddings and proms to garden parties and club nights. Our DJs don’t just turn up and press play. We curate, read the crowd, and create an atmosphere your guests won’t want to leave. And the best part? Hiring a DJ with us is as easy as clicking a button.
Here’s everything you need to know about what we offer, how to know if our service is right for you, and exactly how to hire your next party starter straight from Out There Entertainments.
What Our DJ Hire Service Is All About
We’re not your average playlist pushers. Our Hire a DJ hire service is all about professional, high-energy entertainment, tailored to your event and your crowd. Whether you’re looking for a chart-heavy setlist, disco classics, Motown vibes, dance anthems or something a little more niche, we’ve got you covered.
Our team of experienced, multi-genre DJs know how to read a room and keep it moving. We bring all the gear with us, including sound systems, lighting, mics and optional extras like karaoke or visuals. You tell us what vibe you’re going for, and we’ll build your set around it. Prefer a hands-off approach? Great. Want to send us a custom playlist or your must-not-play list? Also great.
Because we’ve done this for decades, we understand that every event is different. We’re flexible, friendly, and totally focused on making sure your guests have a night to remember.
What Events Our DJ Hire Is Perfect For
Our DJ hire service is designed to be as versatile as possible. We’ve been called in last minute, booked months in advance, and even asked to fill in between live bands. If you’re hosting an event that needs energy, music, or a reason for people to stay past 9pm, a DJ is usually a good idea. Here are just a few examples of where we shine:
Weddings
Whether you want a high-octane evening reception or smooth background beats during dinner, we’ll bring the tunes that match your mood. We can work alongside your band or handle the whole night ourselves.
Birthday Parties
From 18th and 21st celebrations to 40ths, 50ths and everything in between, our DJs have a sixth sense for mixing in the right throwbacks with the latest hits. If your party has a theme or specific vibe, let us know. We love to get creative.
Corporate Events
If you’re organising an office Christmas do, awards night, team-building day or company celebration, we’ll make sure the music lives up to the occasion. We can keep things formal or fun depending on the crowd and the company culture.
Proms and School Events
We’re fully insured and DBS-checked, which makes us a safe, reliable option for proms, school discos, and youth events. Plus, we know what songs the kids actually want to hear.
Family Celebrations
Christenings, anniversaries, engagements, barbecues, and retirement dos. We’ve played them all. Our setups are scalable, so whether it’s a small hall or a big marquee, we’ve got you.
Club Nights and Public Events
Need a DJ for a local festival, community event, or public celebration? We’ve played beer festivals, charity fundraisers, and even town-centre Christmas light switch-ons.
And if your event doesn’t fall into any of those categories? That’s fine. If you need music, we’re in.
