Christmas party DJs

The music makes or breaks a Christmas party

A Christmas party crowd is like no other: different ages, different departments, different music tastes, and a lot of people who swear they don’t dance. A good DJ gets them all on the floor.

Pro DJs Australia has been playing Sydney Christmas parties for more than 30 years, from office functions and end-of-year awards nights to family and street parties. We plan the night around your timings, play to the room rather than a fixed playlist, and keep the formalities on track.

Owner John Koukoulas leads the team, and every booking comes with professional sound and lighting.

Formal dinners with speeches and awards, then a party. Walk-up music, microphones and a dance set, all on your run sheet. See corporate event DJs.

Client & customer Christmas events

Relaxed background music for networking that lifts into a party once the drinks are flowing.

Restaurant & venue parties

Booked a private dining room, rooftop or harbourside venue? We work to the venue’s set-up rules, timings and noise limits.

Private & family Christmas parties

Backyard, home and family Christmas celebrations with music for grandparents, parents and kids alike.

How your Christmas party runs

Every party is different, but most follow a similar shape. Here’s how we fit into it.

  1. Planning callWe go through your timings, venue, guest numbers, formalities and any songs to play or avoid. You can also use our free music app to build requests.
  2. Set-up before guests arriveWe set up and sound-check before the doors open and check in with the venue team.
  3. Arrivals and drinksFestive background music at a level where people can talk, with Christmas classics mixed in early on.
  4. Dinner, speeches and Kris KringleMicrophones ready for the boss’s speech, awards or the Secret Santa, and music cued for every moment.
  5. The dance floorThe tempo builds into a party set for a mixed crowd, read from the room, with requests welcome.
  6. Last song, on timeWe finish when the venue needs us to and pack down quietly.
The music

Music for a mixed crowd

The secret to a great Christmas party dance floor is reading the room. Here’s what you can count on.

  • Party anthems across the decades, so every age group has its song
  • Requests welcome on the night, or sent in beforehand
  • Clean edits and a do-not-play list for work events
  • Volume managed to suit the room and the venue’s noise limits
  • One point of contact from enquiry to the last song

John was so easy to hire silent disco headphones from - he couldn’t have been more helpful! Answered all my questions and went out of his way to make the whole process of pick up and return as easy as possible. Would highly recommend and I will certainly be hiring from him again in future

John was recommended to us from a friend and right from the first contact we knew he was the right DJ for us. He is such a warm and caring person that was very focused on making sure that our night was to be a night to remember for years to come! He went over and above for us, and on the night he had a full dance floor from the first song until the last! He was friendly with everyone and their requests were never too much trouble. He ran the night professionally but with a warmth that made him feel like one of our guests. Thank you John for all the effort you put into making our night that fantastic night that it was!

Best decision I ever made and the most important one (apart from marrying my husband 😉) 🥰 We love dancing and were so nervous to have the best DJ. If you are like us, John and Pro DJs Australia is the choice. John is amazing at not only reading a crowd and perfectly designing the music to suit you as a couple but also mixing and mashing up tracks which was key for me. There were no awkward pauses or fade outs and everyone said it was the best dancefloor they had ever been on at a wedding. John also went above and beyond on the night and got a cushion for my husband to make him more comfortable, he checked on our parents, did crowd work and answered questions from guests so we didn't have to. Also his Vibo app is AMAZING!!!! if you love planning like me and are a type A bride this app is great and links to your Spotify playlists and helps communicate your overall vision for the day - which John will perfectly execute 😘👌 Thank you so much John, you truly have the most lovely, joyous and relaxing energy that made us want you from the start 🥰

We hired John from Pro DJs Australia for our wedding and he did not disappoint. He was highly engaging and entertaining and our guests had the most amazing time. I would hire John again in a heartbeat for my next event - his communication, professionalism and punctuality were second to none!

The whole team at Pro DJs was so fantastic to work with! From the very first email, John was helpful and attentive to every request or question we had. The planning process was so easy as John took care of every detail and kept us in the loop at all times. We had DJ Rick at my 21st and he absolutely killed it. His playlist was exactly the vibes we were going for and he kept the energy going all night long. We had so much fun — definitely recommend!

We contacted John based on the reviews we saw on Google. It was a decision well made. From the point of contact to the event itself he communicated with my family and myself helping us create an amazing celebration. John supplied a Photo Booth and an assistant to accompany it. This wasn’t an ordinary one. It was like a Giant Magic Mirror. All of our guests had photos done and it worked for all age groups. John is a listener and very proactive. He never keeps you waiting on an answer and is not pushy in the least. My 70th Celebration went off really well as John read the crowd and played music that enticed all age groups to stay on the dance floor. He also knew how to use music on introducing the speeches and the birthday cake ceremony. It was a great night and it was lovely feeling so comfortable in the hands of a professional! Thank you John for helping me and my family create memories!

John was a pleasure to meet and have to DJ at our wedding. He was so friendly, kind and helpful as he guided us with what we wanted to include in our DJ package. The music on the night was professionally organised and we had so much fun dancing to our favourite songs. Thank you John!

The photo booth was an absolute blast with so many incredible keepsakes for our guests and us! Thank you for creating the best vibe and for getting everyone up and dancing all night long. From dry ice, lighting and the best tunes, our wedding night was so perfect and it's all thanks to you!!!

Thank you Nick (and John!) It was so easy to work with both of you for our wedding - you knew all the right questions to ask to make sure we had everything we needed, and provided guidance and support along the way (and even playlists!). Nick was so accommodating and worked with our saxophonist, and we had feedback from the guests that they loved the dancefloor and the music - there were great transitions and the lights provided made it so fun. Nick also dressed to fit in - wore a suit (and not a tshirt and jeans!). Thank you soooo much Nick and John!

FAQ

Christmas party DJ questions

When should we book a DJ for our Christmas party?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday nights from late November to mid-December are the busiest nights of the year and book out first. Weeknight parties usually have more availability.

Do you DJ private and family Christmas parties too?

Yes. As well as work functions, we play private, family, club and street Christmas parties, at venues and at home.

Can you play Christmas music and party music?

Yes. We usually play festive favourites early in the night, then move into party anthems for the dance floor. You can send requests and a do-not-play list beforehand.

Can you provide microphones for speeches, awards or Kris Kringle?

Yes. We can supply microphones for speeches, awards and announcements, and cue music for each moment on your run sheet.

Our venue has a noise limit. Can you still make it a party?

Yes. We work to the venue’s limits and finish time. For strict limits, a silent disco keeps the party going without the volume.

How much does a Christmas party DJ cost?

It depends on the night, the number of hours, the set-up and any extras such as lighting. Send your details through the form at the top of this page and we’ll come back with a tailored quote.

Do you cover Christmas parties outside Sydney?

Yes. As well as the Sydney metro area, we cover the Central Coast, Newcastle, the Hunter Valley, the Blue Mountains, Wollongong and the Southern Highlands.
