CHARITY & FUNDRAISING DJ LEEDS
Music for Leeds charity evenings and fundraising events, with the programme, venue setup and party atmosphere planned together.
Your fundraiser
Leeds fundraising events
A Leeds fundraiser might have a reception, dinner or speaker programme before the DJ takes over. Getting those handovers clear matters more than keeping music playing throughout.
I can coordinate directly with your Leeds organiser or venue contact so the music brief, sound arrangements and running order are clear before the event.
Aidy Smith DJ packages start at £249.99 for up to 100 guests, including the first four hours. The final price depends on guest numbers, travel and optional extras. View DJ hire prices.
Event formats
Choose your event format
The venue and the fundraising programme set the pace. Choose a music approach that supports your Leeds audience.
Ticketed charity nights
Coordinate doors, fundraising announcements and the transition into the DJ set once the formal programme ends.
Community events
Plan familiar music for a mixed crowd and time announcements so people can hear the important information.
The running order
Coordinate the timetable
Send the venue running order, who is introducing speakers and any music needed for entrances or prize draws. Where a venue has its own AV staff, we can agree the handover.
If a Leeds venue provides its own AV team, confirm who will operate speech microphones, cue music and hand over to the DJ. Simple announcements can be discussed as part of the setup.
1
Reception
Low-level music for arrivals and drinks.
2
On stage
Pause for appeals, presentations and acknowledgements.
3
Evening set
Start the dance-floor music at the agreed time.
Equipment and access

For a Leeds city-centre event, confirm the supplier loading entrance, parking arrangements, lift access and the time available for setting up or clearing the room.

Local coverage
Leeds and nearby areas
Leeds city centre and surrounding areas such as Headingley, Horsforth and Morley can be discussed. The venue postcode and access requirements are checked before a booking is confirmed.
Whether the booking is in a city-centre function suite or a suburban community room, supplier access and any installed AV are checked from the venue details rather than assumed.

Potentially, if the equipment is suitable and the connection, microphone and technician arrangements are agreed beforehand.
How do you handle Leeds city-centre access?
Send the loading entrance, permitted arrival times, parking or unloading instructions, stairs or lift information and venue contact before confirming arrangements.
