Whether it’s a landmark birthday, a silver or golden anniversary or a long-overdue celebration with the people who matter most, every private party deserves real care on the night. Premier Disco is a private party DJ Edinburgh hosts trust for exactly that, bringing the same professionalism to a birthday as to the biggest corporate event. If you are planning a celebration, we would love to be part of your night.
Your Party, Your Music
The best private parties are built around a music policy that genuinely reflects the person being celebrated, so a 50th birthday sounds different from an 18th. A retirement party has a different energy from an anniversary dinner. We take the time to understand what you want from the night — the must-plays, the do-not-plays, the era, the mood — and we build everything around that.
Once booked, you will have access to our dedicated online planning system where you can submit your song requests, first dance choice (if applicable), and music preferences at any point before the event. You deal directly with your DJ throughout — no agency middlemen, no call centres.

Frequently Asked Questions — Private Party DJ Edinburgh
How much does a private party DJ cost in Edinburgh?
Our pricing depends on the date, location, duration and any add-ons you choose. We are always transparent about pricing from the first conversation — no hidden fees or surprises. Get in touch for a no-obligation quote tailored to your event.
Can we request specific songs in advance?
Absolutely — and we encourage it. Once booked, you will have access to our online planning system where you can add must-plays, do-not-plays and any special requests at any time. We review everything before the event and build your requests into the set as naturally as possible.
How long do you play for at a private party?
Most private party bookings are for three to four hours of DJ time, though we are flexible depending on your needs and venue curfew. We will always discuss the running order with you in advance so the timing works perfectly for your night.
Do you take requests on the night?
Yes — we are always happy to take requests on the night from your guests. We use our judgement to weave them into the set at the right moment, keeping the energy up and the dancefloor full throughout.
Can you play for a mixed age group at a family party?
Mixed-age crowds are something we genuinely enjoy. Reading a room that contains grandparents, teenagers and everyone in between — and finding the music that brings them all together — is one of the most satisfying parts of this job. We have years of experience keeping multi-generational dancefloors happy and we would love to do the same for your celebration.
Can we combine a race night with a birthday party to raise money for charity?
Yes. We have run a race night as the first half of a 50th birthday party, with the disco taking over once the last race was done. Guests join in from the moment they arrive, and the money raised goes to whichever charity you choose. We will agree the running order with you in advance so the timings suit your guests and your venue.
