What should you discuss with your children’s party DJ?
The date is in your diary and the birthday child has chosen a favourite song. What else does the DJ need to know? One clear message keeps arrangements together and helps avoid surprises on the day. Use this checklist to get started.
Explain who is coming and what the birthday child enjoys
Share the birthday child’s age, expected numbers and the age range. Classmates may already know one another; a family party might include much younger children. This helps the DJ adapt explanations and activities.
Ask whether the birthday child enjoys being the centre of attention. An opening dance together can be lovely, but it is optional. A child who prefers to watch first should not suddenly be called to the front. Describe what helps without circulating unnecessary personal or medical information.
Keep music wishes short and useful
Choose a few favourites together and note the song title, artist and preferred version. Include songs you would rather avoid. If you want a surprise or a special final track, check beforehand whether it is available and suitable.
A request list is not a fixed running order. The DJ needs room to respond to the children. For more detailed preparation, see our guide to choosing music for your KidzDJ party. Your overall briefing only needs the key wishes and boundaries.
Put cake, dancing and collection on one timeline
Separate guest arrival, the start of the booked show and collection time. Discuss where cake, presents and drinks fit. A break during the show does not automatically mean extra performance time afterwards.
Include access times for setup and pack-down. The DJ may not be able to arrive earlier or stay longer if things run late. Have any possible timing changes agreed beforehand, so you know what to tell parents.
Discuss the venue and supervision
Explain whether the party is at home, in a hall or outdoors. Mention access, stairs, parking and dancing space. Ask what power supply and setup are needed; existing equipment is not automatically suitable.
Arrange adult supervision and someone to help with questions. The DJ provides entertainment but does not replace the adults at the door, on toilet trips or during collection. Agree where a child can sit quietly and who will help if they need a break. Keep walkways and the equipment area clear.
Coordinate surprises through one contact
An unexpected visitor, confetti moment or performance by a relative can affect the plan. Discuss ideas with the DJ and venue in advance; they are not automatically part of the booking. Choose one adult contact so the DJ does not receive conflicting instructions.
Check the language you need too. A translated profile does not mean every DJ performs in that language. Explore the KidzDJ profiles, share your preference and confirm the performing DJ and arrangements.

Only include information relevant to your party. Send changes through the agreed contact channel and ask for confirmation of important adjustments. A request in a message does not by itself change a booking.
