Planning a Fall Corporate Event or School Dance? Start With the DJ

September through November can be a busy time for events in Toronto and the surrounding area. Schools are getting back into their regular schedules, student councils are planning dances and fundraisers, and companies are starting to organize fall gatherings and holiday parties. If you are responsible for organizing one of these events, finding the right DJ is one of those details that is worth taking care of early.

For schools, every event is a little different. A semi-formal, school dance, or dance-a-thon can have its own expectations when it comes to music, timing, and the overall atmosphere. Disc Jockeys Unlimited (DJU) works with schools to put together music that fits the students and the event, while also handling the practical side of the evening. The same applies to university events and other school functions where the music needs to appeal to a fairly broad group of people.

Corporate events have a different set of considerations. A fall staff party, company celebration, conference, or holiday party might include dinner and speeches before the music starts, or it might be primarily a social evening. A DJ can provide background music when people are arriving and eating, handle basic MC duties when needed, and then transition into more upbeat music as the event moves along. DJU also offers a range of optional equipment and services, including karaoke, additional lighting, uplighting, projectors and screens, and extra microphones.

One advantage of planning ahead is having time to talk through the details rather than trying to sort everything out at the last minute. Things like the venue, number of guests, schedule, preferred music, special requests, and any equipment requirements can all affect what makes sense for an event. DJU serves Toronto and communities throughout the GTA and surrounding areas, so the same approach can work whether the event is downtown or farther out in the region.

If you have a school dance, corporate event, or holiday party coming up this fall, DJU can provide a quote based on the details of your event. You can submit the information through the detailed quote form, or use the simpler contact form if you would rather start with a few questions. Either way, September through November tends to fill up quickly, so it is a good time to start looking at your options.
