How we work

Reading the room is the whole job

Most Sydney weddings and parties have guests from 8 to 80 in the room, and plenty have two or three cultures in it as well. That is the part a playlist cannot solve. Reading which table is about to get up, and moving between Lebanese and Arabic favourites, old-school hits, RnB and dance without emptying the floor at each change, is the job.

The rest is logistics, and we treat it as seriously as the music. We check bump-in times, power and noise limits with your venue before the day. We arrive early, set up and test. Your booked hours start once everything is working, not when we pull into the car park.

The practical part

What comes with every booking

The music is why you book us. This is the part that means the night runs without anyone chasing us.

Public liability insured

We carry public liability insurance and send a certificate of currency straight to your venue. Most function centres ask for one before they will let anyone bump in.

One crew, one booking

The DJ, the booths and the bar staff come from the same business, on one quote and one invoice, with one person to call if anything changes.

Set-up and pack-down included

Set-up and pack-down are part of the price. Your booked hours start once the gear is running and tested.

An attendant with every booth

Someone stays with the booth for the whole booking, keeps the queue moving, handles the props and fills the guest book if you have one.

Common questions

About working with us

How long have you been doing this?

Charlie Sparx Entertainment has worked weddings, corporate events and parties since 2009.

Where are you based and how far do you travel?

We are based in Marrickville and cover Sydney metro, from Bondi and Surry Hills to Chatswood, the Inner West, Western Sydney and the Shire, with delivery included. Beyond that we travel anywhere in Australia. Tell us the venue and the travel goes into the quote rather than arriving as a surprise later.

What can we book?

Wedding, party and corporate DJs; the elegant, open-air, mirror, retro mirror, 360 and GIF booths; bulb-lit marquee letters; gobo projection; uplighting and dance-floor lighting; RSA-accredited bartenders with the glow bar; and full audio visual for gala dinners, conferences and award nights.

What are your hours?

We are contactable 7am to 6pm, seven days. Events themselves usually run into the evening, so if you are calling about a night that is already under way, use the phone rather than the form.

Are you insured?

Yes, public liability insured. Tell us your venue contact when you book and the certificate of currency goes straight to them, so bump-in is never held up waiting on paperwork.

Can I book more than one service together?

Yes, and most clients do. The DJ, the booths, the letters and the bar staff all come from the same business, so it is one quote, one invoice and one person to call if anything changes.

How do we get a quote?

Send your date, venue and what you are thinking of booking through the form or by phone. We confirm availability, ask about guest numbers and timings, and send a written quote with the hours and inclusions set out. Nothing is locked in until you are happy with it.

Can we read reviews before we book?

Yes. Charlie Sparx Entertainment holds 4.9 from 50 reviews on Google and 4.8 from 8 on Easy Weddings, which covers the whole business rather than one service. We would rather point you at an independent source than quote ourselves.

What is included in the price?

Delivery, set-up and pack-down across Sydney metro, and an attendant with every booth. Your booked hours start once the gear is set up and tested, not when we arrive.

Tell us about your night

Two quick steps: your event, then your details. We reply with availability and a written quote, usually the same day. Your details are only used to answer your enquiry, as set out in our Privacy Policy.
