The best kids’ DJ for your party understands your group. Look at experience with children, music choices and how the DJ invites everyone to join in. I’m Edwin, also known as Blijwin®, and I’ve been entertaining children for over ten years.
Six things to discuss before booking
- Ages and group size. Say who is coming and whether the ages vary widely.
- Experience. Ask about similar parties. Watch a show clip and read what parents or schools say about the approach.
- Programme. Does the DJ lead games, dancing and requests as well as play music?
- Equipment and price. Compare the same show length, included equipment and extras. Ask for the total for your location and choices.
- Timing. Agree on the start, duration, setup and pack-down times.
- Supervision. Agree which parents or school staff will remain present. Mention children who need extra support and any venue rules.
A birthday party needs different arrangements from a school party or festival. Tell the DJ what you are organising.
How I approach a children’s party
I adapt the music and activities to the group, dance along and invite children to join at their own pace. Watching first is fine. Younger children often need simpler games; older children may prefer more music and dancing.
I can bring lights, sound and my DJ booth. If your venue already has equipment, we discuss the technical setup in advance. Compare the current packages, or ask about your date.
Choosing on more than a claim
A claim to be the “best DJ” does not tell you whether the show suits your children. Look for specific examples, recent experiences and clear answers to your questions. A DJ can lead the entertainment; agree separately who supervises the children.
