You do not need to write a detailed playlist to get the right music for your company event. A useful brief explains who is coming, what will happen during the evening and how you want the atmosphere to feel.
Start with the essentials: date, venue, guest numbers, timings and the event format. Tell us about drinks, dinner, speeches or presentations, and when you expect dancing to begin. Then share a few musical reference points. Which genres suit your company? Are there favourite tracks, cultural moments or songs that should be avoided?
For DJ and sax, it also helps to decide what role the live performance should have. Would you like the saxophonist to add colour to selected tracks or be a more prominent feature during a particular part of the evening? We can discuss the options against the schedule and venue setup.
DJ Knight Music supplied a DJ and sax duo for a company event in The Garden at One Marylebone. Every booking needs its own brief, but these questions help turn a broad idea into a performance that fits the occasion.
A brief can be short and specific
Start by writing one or two sentences about the purpose of the event and the desired atmosphere. For instance, describe whether it is a relaxed client reception, an awards celebration or a party for the whole company. Then note the moments that matter most: arrivals, a welcome, speeches, dinner, the start of dancing and the scheduled finish. You do not need exact times for everything, but a draft sequence helps identify where the music should change. If another person is responsible for the running order, put us in touch with them.
Explain what you mean by live sax
Different organisers imagine different things when they request DJ and sax. Some want a few standout appearances with dance tracks. Others picture a softer live layer during a reception followed by a later party set. Both can be discussed, but the performance plan and technical needs may differ. Tell us whether you want the saxophonist to be a visual focus, whether any roaming is envisaged and how long each section of the event lasts. We can then recommend a suitable format and describe it clearly in the proposal.
Confirm practical responsibilities
Share the venue contact, any sound restrictions, the available access window and what equipment the venue or AV supplier can provide. Identify who will cue formalities and who can approve changes on the night. If there are guests with particular musical expectations, include that context alongside your favourite genres. A useful brief balances preparation with freedom for the DJ to react to the room. Our performance in The Garden at One Marylebone shows the duo in one company event setting. Your company's evening deserves its own approach. Your own guest journey should guide the final music plan.
Before the event, share one final version of the programme and name the person who can make decisions on site. If the schedule changes, that person can tell the DJ and any other suppliers promptly. This small step helps the music support what is really happening in the room, even if the timings shift.
Party DJS FAQs
No. A few favourite tracks, preferred genres and songs to avoid are more useful than a rigid list for the entire evening.
