However, we often have availability for dates within 6 months. Contact us to check your specific date - you might be surprised at our availability!
Peak Season: May through October Most Popular Days: Saturdays Best Value Days: Fridays and Sundays
What if our date isn’t available?
If your preferred date is already booked, we’ll: - Check if any of our other professional DJs are available - Recommend trusted colleagues in the industry - Suggest alternative dates if you have flexibility
We maintain a team of 6-10 professional DJs, so we can often accommodate multiple events on the same day.
