Oli the magician was amazing! So great with the kids, so funny, and he had all the adults scratching their heads in confusion trying to figure it out.

Kids Party DJs FAQs

Everything you need to know before you book.

Ask us a question
How much do kids party DJs cost?

About $434 on average for a kids' birthday booking (The Bash, 2026). Those are other companies' published rates, not Yombu prices: Yombu has no live kids party DJ price in most cities yet, and your city's real hourly rate replaces this the moment a local kids party DJ is confirmed.

How long should I book a kids party DJ?

Most kids' parties need one to two hours of music and games. The Bash's cost guide reports that its kids' birthday DJ bookings average about 3.5 hours, so ask for a shorter package if your party is only two hours long.

How soon should I book a kids party DJ?

Two to three weeks ahead covers a weekday or morning slot; book further out for a peak Saturday afternoon. DJs tend to book out weekend afternoons first, especially in spring and early summer birthday season.

What ages does a kids party DJ work best for?

The sweet spot is roughly 5 to 12 — old enough to follow dance-game instructions and young enough to still find a DJ leading a conga line thrilling. Many DJs read the room and adjust the music and games once they see who's actually up dancing.

Does a kids party DJ need anything beyond an outlet?

Just a power outlet and a clear patch of floor big enough for a group to move — a living room, garage or backyard all work. Flag whether the party's inside or out when you book, so the DJ brings the right gear, and confirm there's room for their speaker stand away from foot traffic.

How do I book kids party DJs near me?

Pick your city on this page, compare vetted local kids party DJs by their real rates and availability, and book online. Every booking is confirmed before you pay, and your payment is held until after the party.

Are kids party DJs available in my city yet?

Not in most cities yet: Yombu is adding kids party DJs city by city. Tell us your date on the entertainers page and we'll match you with a local kids party DJ the moment one is confirmed.

Are Yombu entertainers vetted and insured?

Yes. Every kids party DJ on Yombu is background-checked and insured before they can accept a booking, and your payment is held until after the party.

What should I expect from kids party DJs?

A kids party DJ is typically a 60–120 minute booking: dance games, sing-alongs and a mic that keeps the room moving. A kids party DJ runs the room like a game-show host, not a wedding DJ on autopilot — musical chairs, freeze dance, limbo and sing-alongs that actually get six-year-olds off the wall and onto the dance floor. Bookings typically run 1–2 hours, and the DJ brings their own speaker and mic setup, so all you need is an outlet and a bit of open floor.
