DJ At My Party was created by Pete Hawkins in January 1985. While at school he decided to set up a mobile disco as people felt that he seemed to have a talent, making the party happen!
The seed was sown, Pete used the equipment from the School Youth Club until he was able to buy his own equipment, and was soon making a name for himself.
At the age of 19, Pete was working in Surrey running The Aquarian Disco, developing his very good working knowledge of music from the 1950’s up to the present day. Over time The Aquarian Disco grew into DJ At My Party and since then many people have enjoyed great parties in numerous locations.
Pete has DJ’d at a wide range of events including Car launches, Corporate Events, Military Balls, Cabaret evenings as well as numerous Birthdays,Weddings and even Funerals! His passion for DJ’ing has also taken him to many venues and locations including Military barracks, Pubs, Village halls, Hotel’s and even to the Big Top for Jerry Cottles Circus!
DJ At My Party now has an excellent reputation particularly in Surrey, Berkshire, North Hampshire and parts of South East Hampshire.
Experience combined with good humour enables us to create the right choice of songs, to make any night a success. We firmly believe that once the party is in full swing, we will let our choice of music do the talking.
We tailor all our events to our clients personal requirements so it is difficult to provide an instant price. That’s why we will always provide a free quotation first.

All our sound and lighting equipment is of the highest quality and regularly kept up to date and tested.
We actively encourage you to e-mail us around 30 songs maximum you would like played at your party. This can include dedications. From the playlist we will be able to judge what else you may like played, but in any event we will play a mixture of music to keep all guests happy.
We issue comprehensive booking enquiry forms telling you all you need to know. If you decide to proceed, we will issue a booking confirmation covering every detail of your event. We will keep in touch with you by e mail (e.g. for deposit receipts) and phone from the moment you enquire up to the day of your event. We ensure you are kept fully in the picture.
We are very happy to liaise with venues on your behalf. This is usually regarding provision of PLI and PAT certificates but it can also be for risk assessments, details of access to the function room, use of smoke machines, fire drills etc. Let us take this hassle away from you!
Vital for any party. We are happy for you to give us a play list, but timing is important to the success of any party.
For your reassurance we believe it is very important to arrive early and to be relied upon. No excuses! We even have AA recovery that will take us to your event no matter what!
We use the right songs, the right lighting and a little verbal encouragement to create this!
DJ At My Party believes in giving a fully comprehensive service and giving all clients complete peace of mind. This is why we carry full £10,000,000 Public liability Insurance (PLI) with Royal & Sun Alliance although this is not a legal requirement more and more venue’s are requiring this. Remember, your big day will most likely be attended by your most important friends and family. If an accident were to happen and a claim pursued, its success will partly depend on whether you had hired an insured individual. We can provide you with the required documentation for you or the venue.
As with the Public liability Insurance (PLI) The Portable Appliance Test (PAT) is a requirement that all mobile disco companies should adhere to, by law. It involves the testing of all electrical equipment to be used at your event that requires a mains supply. It’s generally carried out every year and it ensures that all appliances are electrically safe to use it is becoming apparent that more venue’s are insisting on this. As mentioned, it is a legal requirement for the DJ to have their equipment tested. This is to comply with the The Electricity at Work Act 1989. Please check with the venue if this is a requirement and we can provide you with the required documentation.
Started and introduced by the MCPS and PRS Alliance and is used by DJ’s and other entertainers who copy or download music. The licence, allows us to legally download MP3’s and my original CD collection into a digital format ready to be used on our HC5000. This has been introduced to help fight against those who copy music illegally. There maybe some instances where you will be required to verify if your DJ requires a ProDub licence and if so, actually holds one. If your DJ doesn’t hold the necessary proof, they could be prevented from setting-up, thus ruining your event.
We have a wide variety of MP3’s from the NOW series through to Party Compilations, Christmas Discs and even Football Song collections. Add to that a very large selection of specially mixed MP3’s for DJ use only.
