Ever had a night out that felt like the DJ was reading your mind, dropping all the tracks you didn’t even know you needed? There’s something about that perfect mix—the kind that keeps you glued to the dance floor that only a truly great DJ can deliver.
We’ve all been at events where the music was just fine—not bad, but not great. That’s never been the case with the pros we’ve tracked down.
These are the DJs who can make you lose your voice from singing along, leave your legs sore from dancing, and turn a good night into one of the best nights.
How much do DJs charge in London?
DJs in London typically charge between £150 to £500 for private events. Experienced professionals may charge £1,500 or more for weddings or corporate events. The final price depends on the event’s duration, the required equipment, and additional services.
How We Chose
Experience and Versatility – We considered DJs with proven track records who can adapt to various event types, from weddings to corporate parties.
Music Library and Style – We reached out to DJs to learn about their music libraries and ensure diverse genres. They should be able to tailor playlists to fit varying preferences.
Professionalism and Equipment – We confirmed that the DJs use professional-grade equipment and maintain a polished, punctual approach to their work.
Client Feedback and Reviews – We spoke with past clients and reviewed reputable platforms to understand each DJ’s reliability, performance quality, and crowd engagement.
1. The Good DJ Company – London DJ Hire
Location: Fairhazel Gardens
Contact: +44 7875 602466
Operating hours:
- Monday to Saturday – 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM
When we sat down with The Good DJ Company, it was clear these folks mean business. Founded by industry veterans with over 12 years of experience in festivals and live events, they’ve built a reputation for bringing energy and expertise to every performance.
Their roster of exceptionally talented DJs isn’t just local—they’re active in the global festival circuit. This explains why their sets always feel so fresh and dynamic.
But what makes them stand out is their holistic approach to events. They offer more than just DJ services like audio equipment hire, event decor, and even tailor-made playlists you can preview on their website.
We were impressed by how they perfectly matched the vibe of each event. Forget generic playlists—everything is curated to create something unforgettable.
One heads-up, though: they’re highly in demand. If you’re planning an event, we recommend reaching out sooner rather than later to lock in your date.
Sets up early to ensure everything is ready for the event
“Louis was the DJ for my husband’s 40th birthday party and he was brilliant. He was extremely professional and really listened to what we wanted. He arrived in the morning to set up so that everything was in place before our guests arrived. He played exactly the kind of music we asked for and created a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be calling him again when we throw my 40th birthday party in a few years! Highly recommended.”

Reads the room to keep guests engaged and dancing
“We worked with The Good DJ Company for our wedding in May 2024. They were super easy to work with and everything ran so efficiently and smoothly. In the run up to the wedding, we had a call to chat through the wedding and our music tastes and made sure we’d be happy with the music on the night. They were super responsive over email and happy to always chat through anything which made it so easy for us. The music selection was perfect – they brought such good vibes, read the room well, got everyone on the dance floor. I couldn’t recommend these guys more! Book them for your next event! Thank you!”

2. JW DJ Agency
Location: 3rd floor, 45 Albemarle St
Contact: +44 7875 602466
Operating hours:
- Monday to Wednesday – 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM
- Thursday to Saturday – Open 24 hours
JW DJ Agency is a real game-changer in the event scene, and we’ve seen why. With a lineup of over 50 DJs and producers from all kinds of backgrounds, they’ve mastered the art of delivering feel-good energy across an impressive mix of genres.
Whether your crowd is vibing to RnB or Latin hits, they’ve got the beats—and the know-how—to make it a night to remember.
What caught our eye is their knack for going beyond the usual. Their collaborations with soloists like saxophonists, violinists, and percussionists add a live music twist that’s nothing short of electric.
We also like their DJ academy. It’s a passion project about fostering new talent, embracing diversity, and keeping the music industry fresh and inclusive.
However, some clients mentioned that their services are on the pricier side. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly service, JW DJ Agency might not be the best option.
Delivers outstanding service from start to finish
“We recently had Conor DJ at our engagement party and I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough.. he was amazing! He made the the night and played a great mix of music. So many of our guests commented on how good he was too. Jaynee was super helpful and accommodating too in helping arrange and transporting the equipment which was great too. Overall amazing service and will definitely be using JW DJ Agency for future events! Thanks again.”

“We recently had Jerdyah DJ at our work annual party and he was great! Fabulous selection of music that catered for all generations, the dance floor was never empty, and he was great at reading the crowd, he even joined in with the Conga line! From the first contact with Rocky everything was seamless. Very professional and we’d 100% recommend to others and we’ll be in touch next year to book again!”

3. Storm DJs
Location: 124 City Rd
Contact: +44 20 8088 8979
Operating hours:
- Monday to Thursday – 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM
- Friday – 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
- Saturday to Sunday – 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
When we checked out Storm DJs, we could see why they’ve made waves in the industry since 2011.
It was founded by Adam McGlue, a DJ with over 12 years of experience. The agency was created to bring professionalism and top-notch talent to events—and it delivers.
Their team includes skilled musicians like saxophonists, violinists, and percussionists. All these pros know how to elevate the atmosphere.
One thing we genuinely appreciate is how easy they make it to book. Their DJ Hire Booking Query Price & Availability Request Form is super handy and takes the guesswork out of planning.
However, we’ve heard from a few clients that some of the DJs struggled to stick to the requested playlists during events. This could potentially lead to some mismatched vibes on the dance floor.
Tailors music perfectly to the crowd and event vibe
“Honestly I am so glad I found your company and he was just amazing! Everyone was dancing all night and no one wanted to go home! It would not have been a party without your DJ! UPDATE: Second time to use Storm Djs. The came up trumps for DJ equipment and a DJ for my party. Scott was so good got the crowd and music bang on and so lovely to deal with. If ever i need music for an event is storm DJs i come to you can’t go wrong. Thank you!”

Makes the event planning process easy and stress-free
“A huge thank you to Saskia for playing at our wedding – she was absolutely incredible and we’ve received so many compliments about your music and the atmosphere you helped create. In fact my sister mentioned that hiring her was the best decision we made – and we made quite a few excellent decisions! It’s been a super easy process working with her (which was great as I didn’t need to worry at all). Thank you to Storm DJ’s for making the hire as easy and seamless as possible, I would definitely recommend searching their platform for music.”

4. Sound Bookings London DJ Hire
Location: 64 Brick Farm Cl
Contact: +44 7957 231898
Operating hours: Open 24 hours
When we worked with Sound Bookings London, their 20 years of experience in the industry became immediately obvious. We love how their DJ creates custom playlists that perfectly fit the mood of the event.
We also loved how their cutting-edge sound systems and intelligent lighting transformed the space into something magical. It gave everything that “wow” factor.
Their extensive music library was another highlight. It offers options to suit just about any taste or theme.
But what really stood out to us was their 24/7 availability. It was so easy to get in touch, even during those last-minute planning panics.
However, we did hear from some clients about DJs occasionally not showing up, which was a bit concerning. It wasn’t an issue we experienced, but it’s something to be aware of.
If you’re booking with them, we’d recommend keeping the communication clear and double-checking the details ahead of time.
Creates an incredible atmosphere with a perfect mix of music
“Dan and his team provided the entertainment for our evening wedding reception at the Crazy Bear Stadhampton. It was INCREDIBLE. The DJ was lovely. He set up without any fuss or direction from us. He was warm and friendly and crucially mixed AMAZING music. He read the room perfectly and the dance floor was full from start until end. We had the best night of our lives. Worth every penny! Our guests are still asking for the playlist. Thanks Dan and team. Gem and Phil x.”

Sets up quickly and efficiently without disrupting the event
“We hired Sound Bookings for our wedding and I can honestly say that we could not be happier. Our DJ (I never caught the name – few too many) came and set up quickly and efficiently, without disrupting any other aspects of the day. He also worked brilliantly with the band we had hired to ensure there was never a lull in the entertainment. Music selection was perfect and they took requests from all the guests keeping everyone happy. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone looking to hire a DJ. Thank you to all the guys at Sound Bookings!!”

5. We Run The World Female DJ Agency
Location: 124 City Rd
Contact: +44 7504 821463
Operating hours: Open 24 hours
When we connected with We Run The World Female DJ Agency, it was clear that they’re all about making a statement.
Founded in 2012 by the unstoppable China L’One, this agency champions female talent with a passion that’s hard to miss.
Their DJs deliver and even blend genres like R&B, House, and Funk into custom sets that feel like they were made just for your event.
But what we found really exciting is the variety of events they’ve taken by storm. From corporate gigs to beauty launches, they’ve proven their versatility time and time again.
And then there’s their impressive résumé: performing at 10 Downing Street and earning praise from Forbes. They’ve also worked with big-name clients like Adidas and Columbia Pictures. It’s the kind of track record that speaks for itself.
We also loved that they’re available 24/7. This makes planning a breeze, especially for those last-minute schedules.
But there’s a hiccup. Some clients have mentioned that their pricing can be on the higher side, so we recommend ensuring that it fits within your budget.
Navigates challenging venue logistics without disruption
“We recently worked with We Run the World Female DJ Agency to book a DJ for an event at a prestigious venue in Central London. The team was efficient, and they assigned DJ China, who delivered a wonderful performance that perfectly captured the tone that we had envisioned for the evening. Her music was met with excellent feedback from the guests in attendance. The audio-visual team supporting China also did a fantastic job. Setting up and delivering all the equipment—especially navigating the challenging logistics of the venue—was no easy task, but they handled it seamlessly. Thanks to their efforts, China was able to focus on keeping the energy right for the event. Thank you, The Pemberley Events Team!”

Takes requests throughout the night to keep the energy high
“We’re so grateful we chose to book DJ Ama through We Run the Work Female DJ Agency. China and Jennifer were so helpful booking a DJ quickly and asking great questions about the vibe we wanted. It was such a stress free experience. The DJ arrived promptly and everything was set up ready for dancing. The DJ also chatted with us before our first dance to confirm the song choice and how long we wanted to dance for. We were pretty nervous before the big day but then on the day we were swept up in the loving energy our guests and vendors brought. The music choices were fantastic and the dancing went on until late with some tunes kept until the end keeping us getting back up to dance! The lights the DJ brought were great for adding some ambiance. We were so happy to be matched with a DJ with the right tone for our day, it felt like a friend was DJing for us and we loved that she took requests throughout the night with no issue. It was important to us to have diversity in our vendor list for the day, we had a female photographer, celebrant and caterers so naturally the agency felt like a perfect fit. If you’re looking for a DJ on short notice, definitely put through an enquiry. I was amazed at how quickly I got a call back to book. Thanks for making our day even more fabulous!!”
