Your committee handles the prom.
I’ll handle the dance floor.
Already have a venue and an organizing team? You can book the DJ directly. I handle the music, agreed announcements, sound and lighting, with clean edits and a request policy the school can approve.
A direct booking at Château Laurier.
D’Arcy McGee High School’s June 2026 prom took place in the main ballroom at the Fairmont Château Laurier. The grad committee booked me directly.
This is a past-event example, not a school or venue endorsement.
Need a DJ, or someone to produce the whole prom?
Those are different jobs. Direct hire makes sense when your committee already has the event organized. If you need ticketing, transport, security and supplier coordination too, you need a broader production plan.
On your phone, swipe the comparison sideways to read both options.
| Responsibility | Booking Sean directly | Full prom production |
|---|---|---|
| Music & announcements | DJ, agreed MC moments and screened requests. | DJ is one supplier within the wider event. Confirm who performs. |
| Sound & lighting | Scoped to your venue, guest count and event hours. | Confirm what is included in the production agreement. |
| Venue & tickets | Your organizer owns the venue booking, ticketing and budget. | May be coordinated by the producer. Check the scope. |
| Transport & supervision | Your organizer owns buses, security, chaperones and school approvals. | May be coordinated by the producer. School requirements still apply. |

Clean music. Requests without a crowd around the booth.
School proms use clean edits all night, including requests. The school can supply a do-not-play list and content rules. An exception is only considered for a university or 18+ event with written organizer approval.
- ScanGuests open the request link on their phone.
- ScreenI check the song against the school’s rules, not just its clean label.
- Fit it inA suitable song goes where it works for the room. No guaranteed next song.
- Keep controlThe school’s restrictions and agreed formalities come first.
Send the class favourites and do-not-play list ahead of time. We also agree on grand march, awards, speeches and the final song before the night.
Five things to settle before signing.
- Clean music: edits, themes and the school’s restrictions.
- Requests: what guests can submit and who screens them.
- Timing: load-in, performance hours, formalities and hard curfew.
- Your DJ: the named performer and one event-day contact.
- Requirements: insurance certificate, supplier rules and school approvals.
Send the school or venue insurance requirements before booking. Coverage and any required certificate must be confirmed for your specific event; this page is not proof of an active policy.
What affects the prom DJ price?
The room and hours matter more than the word “prom”. A school gym and a hotel ballroom may need different coverage. Lighting, MC moments, access time and any extra speakers change the scope too.
Send the date, venue, estimated guest count and performance hours. I’ll confirm availability and put the agreed coverage in writing. There is no need to use a wedding package as a proxy for your school’s budget.
Questions from committees.
Do you play clean, school-appropriate versions for a prom or grad?
School proms use clean edits all night, including requests. The school can supply a do-not-play list and content rules. An exception is only considered for a university or 18+ event with written organizer approval.
How does the live song-request system work at a prom?
Guests use a QR code or shared link. Sean screens requests against the school rules and do-not-play list, then fits suitable songs into the set. A request does not guarantee play or override school policy.
Are you insured for a school or graduation event?
Send the school or venue insurance requirements before booking. Coverage and any required certificate must be confirmed for your specific event; this page is not proof of an active policy.
What should a grad committee confirm before booking a DJ?
Confirm clean music, the request policy, run-time and curfew, the named DJ and contact, and any insurance or supplier requirements before signing.
