Prepared DJs, Packed Floors

From Our Founder

“We've built The DJ Company to raise the standard of Events DJs by solving the biggest problem in the events & corporate industry: inconsistency. Too many events are let down by DJs who don’t prepare, don’t read the room, or don’t understand how important the occasion truly is. That’s why every DJ we work with is carefully vetted, trained, and held to a strict professional standard built from years of real DJ experience. It’s not just about playing music. It’s about understanding your event, managing the flow from start to finish, and creating a packed dance floor your guests will remember. We’ve built a system around DJs who genuinely care, so no matter who you’re assigned, you can trust you’re getting a high-quality, professional DJ experience every time.”

“We booked DJ Garth through The DJ Company for our daughter's birthday party and the experience was excellent from start to finish. … On the night, Garth absolutely delivered. His setup was great, the vibe he created was spot on, and all the kids loved it. He handled a room full of 14-year-olds with total professionalism and kept the energy up the entire night. …”

… The chilled, well considered background music had just the right mix of guests foot-tapping and lip syncing to set the tone and ambience for a fabulous dinner. Then Adrian stepped in and took the party to a whole new level a few hours before midnight. The dance floor opened to some banging tunes and was full the entire night!! …

Party & Event DJ FAQs: Cape Town & Gauteng

Before Booking Your Party DJ

How much does a DJ for a birthday party cost in Cape Town?

Hiring a DJ for a birthday or private party in Cape Town costs R14,000 to R24,999 on one of The DJ Company’s packages, and all three include sound and lighting. The Vibe Package is R14,000, The Celebration Package, our Most Popular Choice, is R17,999, and The Showstopper Package is R24,999. The higher you go, the more experienced the DJ and the bigger the setup, up to sound in several areas with The Showstopper Package. Travel comes as a separate quote, and a party that doesn’t fit a package is quoted to suit.

How late does a party DJ play?

A party or event DJ from The DJ Company plays until 11PM on The Vibe Package and until midnight on The Celebration or Showstopper Package. If you’d like the dancing to carry on, overtime is charged at a minimum of 10% of the total package fee for every extra hour. Share your start and end times when you enquire, even as an estimate, and we’ll plan the night around them.

Will the DJ play background music before the dancing starts?

Yes. A DJ from The DJ Company takes your party from background music to a full dance floor, so the same DJ looks after the quieter start of your party and the dancing later on. On our Event Music Request Form you choose the background style, from light jazz to acoustic guitar, and list your dance floor requests and a Don’t Play list.

What free extras come with a party DJ package?

Free extras come with every event DJ package from The DJ Company: one with The Vibe Package, two with The Celebration Package and three with The Showstopper Package. You pick them from our list, which includes UV bars, uplighters, flood lights and moving heads, or ask us to choose for you. Bigger additions such as a confetti cannon, a low fog machine or a dance floor are paid add-ons, quoted over and above your package.

Do you provide party DJs in Johannesburg and Pretoria?

Yes. As well as Cape Town and venues up to 600 km away, The DJ Company provides DJs for birthdays, parties and private events in Johannesburg and Pretoria. We always quote travel separately, so tell us where the party is when you enquire.

What time does the DJ arrive to set up for a party?

For a birthday or private party, a DJ from The DJ Company usually arrives 3 to 4 hours before the start time, depending on how big the setup is. Very large setups take longer, and some are set up the day before. It’s worth checking when your venue lets suppliers in, so we can plan the arrival around it.
