The Best DJs For Corporate Events: Party DJs & Celebrity Names
30 September 2026
There’s a transitional point in most corporate events when the speeches are over, the last dish is almost finished, and somebody needs to convince guests that the dance floor is a very good idea. That’s the DJ’s cue.
The right DJ depends on what you want to happen. You might need someone who can move between generations and genres. You might have a specific sound in mind. Or you might want to announce a celebrity name to get the buzz started before a track has even been played.
We’ve brought together some of our favourite DJs for corporate events, from the talented DJs we book regularly for AOK events to celebrity DJs who can become a headline moment.
The Best DJs For Corporate Events & Parties
DJ Paul
DJ Paul is one of the DJs we return to time and again for any AOK event. He started in music production before moving behind the decks, and his style to DJ’ing leaves room for both the songs people came hoping to hear and the track they didn’t know they needed.
That flexibility matters at a corporate party, where the crowd might shift from clients catching up over drinks to colleagues demanding one more song. Paul’s experience stretches from Claridge’s and The Shard to Outernet and Indigo at The O2. He has also played alongside acts including Clean Bandit, Basement Jaxx, and Marvin Humes, with clients including Team GB, BAFTA, and Mastercard.
If you’re planning a company celebration, awards after-party, DJ Paul is the kind of DJ who can adapt as the night unfolds.

DJ Elliot: Open-Format Music
Another familiar face on AOK event line-ups, DJ Elliot describes himself as an open-format DJ. That means he can move across styles instead of asking a varied guest list to commit to one genre all night.
He has spent more than a decade DJing internationally, playing product launches, company parties, and awards shows. His clients include H&M, The National Lottery, Vodafone, Lululemon, and Sony.
For crowds of mixed ages, brand launches, and corporate parties, DJ Elliot couldn’t come more highly recommended by AOK Entertains.

DJ Phoebe: Club Experience
If you want the night to feel more like a nightclub than a standard company party, meet DJ Phoebe. Her background includes house music and long-running connections with Ministry of Sound and Café Mambo Ibiza, while her open-format approach allows her to shape a set around the event.
She has played at Pacha, Creamfields, and Space Ibiza, as well as events for Porsche, London Fashion Week, and Goodwood.
For fashion and luxury events, launches, summer parties, and late-night sets with a club feel, DJ Phoebe is our top-pick.

DJ Coco: R&B, Hip-Hop & Latin Party Energy
DJ Coco Mansilla brings vibes from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, to the London dance floor. His sets cover R&B, hip-hop, Latin sounds, and club tracks, with the choices guided by the crowd rather than a fixed playlist.
He also has a diploma in sound engineering and music production, and has played for audiences ranging from intimate gatherings to large parties. AOK’s client list for Coco includes UCL, the Francis Crick Institute, Latino Fest, and Secret Garden Party.
On our shortlist for company parties, international audiences, festival-style events, and celebrations with a late finish is DJ Coco (because no one wants to leave the dance floor when DJ Coco is on the decks).

DJ Charday: The Best Of Both Worlds
DJ Charday is a DJ and singer with a background in performing arts. She describes her style as uplifting and plays across genres, choosing music for the people in the room rather than staying in one lane.
With more than ten years of experience, she has performed in UK clubs and venues and at events in Europe. Her client credits include Virgin, ITV, Selfridges, Prada, and American Express.
Brand parties, social celebrations, fashion events, and audiences who want an upbeat vibe are DJ Charday’s specialty.

DJ Duo: Two DJs, One Crowd
For a bigger event, DJ Duo brings the energy of two performers and a wide knowledge of music genres.
They have played at festivals, clubs, private parties, and industry events including The BRITs and the BAFTAs. They have also supported artists such as Mariah Carey, Rod Stewart, and Clean Bandit. That range is essential when the guest list is broad and the brief calls for a lively set.
Planning large corporate parties, industry celebrations, awards after-parties, or events that want a DJ act with extra stage presence? DJ Duo brings twice the energy.
Celebrity DJs To Book For Your Event
Sometimes the DJ is the big announcement of the evening. An anticipated arrival of a celebrity DJ booking gives guests a familiar name to look forward to.
Trevor Nelson: Soul & R&B
Trevor Nelson is a broadcaster and DJ whose name is closely tied to soul and R&B. Audiences know him from BBC radio and The Lick on MTV.
His Soul Nation parties put that knowledge to work on the dance floor. Trevor has also curated Soul Christmas at the Royal Albert Hall, with its 2025 edition including an after-party DJ set. He is the ultimate choice when soul and R&B are the vibe for the evening.
Trevor can do it all, but soul or R&B parties, milestone celebrations, and audiences ready for ’90s and 2000s R&B are the perfect events for him.

Marvin Humes: Pop Recognition
Many guests will first know Marvin Humes from JLS. He’s also a broadcaster, producer, and the creator of dance music project LuvBug.
His DJ sets have taken him from London to Dubai and Ibiza, including appearances at Martin Solveig’s My House residency and Bob Sinclar’s Paris By Night events at Pacha.
There aren’t many people who wouldn’t have heard of Marvin Humes. He’s best for large company parties, brand celebrations, and late-night events.

Kimberly Wyatt: Pop-Star Energy
Kimberly Wyatt is best known as a member of The Pussycat Dolls, the group behind Don’t Cha and Buttons. She’s also worked as a TV dance judge and radio presenter, and brings that performance background to her DJ sets.
Her event credits go beyond the obvious pop-party brief. She played at The Fragrance Shop’s conference and awards dinner and delivered a DJ set at the UK Advertising Global Dinner during Cannes Lions 2025. If you want the person behind the decks to be part of the reveal, she gives you a name guests will know and a clear reason to keep the party going afterwards.
Awards after-parties, high-profile brand events, and surprise headline moments suit Kimberley’s pop icon DJ sets.

Sara Cox: Feel-Good Party Vibes
Sara Cox is a familiar voice from BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2, with a musical range that runs from ’80s favourites and Britpop to pop, R&B, hip-hop, and dance. That makes her a particularly good match for an audience that spans ages and tastes.
She has brought her DJ sets to big public events, including a set in the Red Rum Garden at the Grand National. Her Power Wower set was also billed as a headline moment at Campervan Campout. Think recognisable songs, a host guests already feel they know, and very little pressure to be cool about it.
If you have a mixed-age company party, summer event, or a ’80s-themed party, as part of the brief, Sara Cox is our recommendation.
Bring Sara Cox to your celebration
Greg James: A Radio 1 Name
Greg James is best known for BBC Radio 1’s Breakfast Show and the Tailenders podcast. He brings a recognisable voice and a presenter’s instinct for engaging a crowd to a live DJ booking.
He has been booked for after-racing DJ sets at the QIPCO Guineas Festival at Newmarket and Cheltenham’s Race Night. Greg makes sense for an event that wants the DJ reveal to feel playful and familiar, especially when the night has a festival or after-party atmosphere.
The icon himself. Greg James is the biggest name in UK radio and suits festival-style company events, awards after-parties, and events with larger crowds.

How To Choose The Best DJs For Corporate Events
Decide what the music needs to do
Is the DJ setting the tone during arrivals, taking over after dinner, or delivering the headline moment? One act can sometimes cover more than one part of the event, but the brief should say how the room needs to change as the evening goes on.
Tell us who’s coming
A mixed group of colleagues and clients may want a set that moves across genres and decades. A product launch might call for a more specific sound. Tell us about the audience, the brand, and any tracks that absolutely belong on (or off) the playlist.
Think about the reveal
A familiar name can be the best surprise when the DJ is a featured part of the programme. For a longer party with changing musical tastes, an experienced event DJ can tailor the set closely to the guests. You could also combine the two! Have a celebrity headline slot with another DJ looking after the rest of the evening.
Share the brief early
Send the venue, timings, budget, and any sound restrictions before you settle on a name. We can then discuss the performance length, equipment, travel, and how the DJ fits around speeches, a band, or other entertainment.
FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a DJ for a corporate event?
Fees vary with the DJ, date, location, length of set, travel, and technical setup. A celebrity DJ is usually a different type of booking from a DJ covering an entire company party. Share your approximate budget with AOK Entertains and we’ll build a shortlist around it, including any production costs you need to allow for.
Does a DJ bring their own equipment?
It depends on the act and venue. Some setups can be self-contained, while others need a DJ booth, PA, lighting, and equipment that meets an artist’s technical requirements. We’ll work through the venue and production details before the event.
Ready To Get The Music Sorted?
We’ll help you find a DJ who fits the event, whether that’s one of our regular favourites, a specialist sound, or a celebrity name on the line-up. We’ve got a secret to tell you… there’s plenty more celebrity DJs we can source beyond this. We just couldn’t put them all on the list. Shh, keep it quiet!
