What does an awards night ask of its DJ?
An awards night is live production, and the DJ booth is the control room. Every winner needs a walk-up track that hits the second their name is read, every speech needs a microphone that simply works, and the room needs its energy rebuilt after every sit-down segment. Get the timing wrong and the night drags. Get it right and your people talk about it all year.
We have run that program at both ends of the scale: global medtech company Stryker's awards event for around 650 guests at Parkside Ballroom, ICC Sydney, and SwanCare's employee awards night for around 100 guests in Perth. Same cue-by-cue discipline, very different room sizes, and in both cases a dancefloor that filled the moment the last trophy was handed over.
Star DJ Hire supplies awards night DJs Australia-wide, covering Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra. We have delivered awards nights for Stryker, around 650 guests at ICC Sydney, and SwanCare in Perth. Every booking includes a professional DJ, sound, lighting, wireless microphones and a dedicated event manager. Request a fast quote today.

Polished sets, zero fuss
From the first guests arriving to the last song of the night, our corporate DJs hold the room at exactly the right level, background sound through the formalities, then a full floor once the speeches wrap.
Every booking comes with a dedicated event manager who coordinates timings, announcements and AV with your venue in advance, so on the day it simply runs.
Trusted by leading brands
We've provided corporate entertainment for Mercedes-Benz, Deloitte, KPMG, Gucci and UNSW, alongside the venues and event agencies who book us again and again for their Christmas parties, awards nights, activations and staff events.
What do we handle on an awards night?
Your DJ is the music director for the entire program, from doors to last song:
Walk-up music
A track for every winner, fired the second the name is read and faded as they reach the stage.
Microphones and speeches
Wireless microphones for hosts, presenters and winners, sound-checked before doors and managed live all night.
Program pacing
Stings, beds and interval music that keep even a 20-category program moving instead of dragging.
The after-party
The moment the formalities end, the same DJ flips the room into a celebration within one song.
Venue AV integration
In big rooms we plug straight into in-house AV and production, as we did for Stryker at ICC Sydney.
