Best DJs in Brisbane: music and top picks

The best DJs in Brisbane for your event will suit the music you love and the jobs you need covered, from dinner music to hosting speeches. This guide compares local performers for birthdays, weddings and work functions, including DJs with rooftop experience, live vocals or a club-focused set.

Aaron's wedding DJ and hosting roles make him a practical choice for couples who want one performer managing both songs and formalities. He keeps track of the speeches and running sheet too. He's a separate performer from DJ Aaron, whose party setup is covered below.

Toni suits wedding receptions where soul, R&B and hip hop are favourites. She plays beyond those styles too, so you can include family favourites alongside the music you love.

Emma suits a work event that starts over dinner and finishes with dancing. She offers dinner vocals followed by DJ sets, with disco, dance and R&B among her preferred styles.

Rick moves between older hits and current pop, with Latin fusion among his musical interests. His work spans private parties, corporate events and weddings, so he fits a mixed crowd that wants familiar songs with some Latin-influenced tracks.

Brooklyn plays bass-heavy styles including bounce and electro house. For a club-style party, draw on her club experience and build the music brief around those sounds.

Captain Sax brings live saxophone into a DJ performance, with styles running from lounge music to electro swing and dance tracks. The lounge repertoire fits cocktail parties, while electro swing works for a Gatsby-themed event. A playlist can form part of the advance music brief.

DJ Aaron takes requests from guests at the decks, with music spanning house, R&B, pop and older favourites. For a birthday, that lets guests have a say in the music. He brings a table, DJ decks, speakers and lighting, so the venue needs to provide space and power.

DJ Bitza has played Cielo Rooftop, Fiume at Howard Smith Wharves and poolside at the W Hotel. She's also played awards nights at BCEC. Shortlist her for a rooftop celebration or awards function.

Her sets draw on familiar hits as well as house and dance, with requests welcome during the event. DJ Bitza brings the PA sound system and party lighting, which helps if your room isn't equipped for a DJ. Her setup requires access to power.

Send your must-play and do-not-play songs with the event brief. Agree the playing hours, breaks and hosting duties, plus any sound, lighting and speech microphones needed.

Give the DJ the venue's access times, setup space and power details, with shelter for outdoor equipment. Where public liability insurance is a venue requirement, look for an Insured badge on the performer cards and obtain the paperwork it requests.

Allow roughly 2 to 3 months to arrange a DJ, with extra time for a Saturday celebration or a December work function.
