Corporate DJ Hire in Essex

For Team Nights, Office Parties & Client Events

 

Planning a company party or team night in Essex and want a DJ who can keep it fun without losing the professional edge?

MHX Entertainment provides corporate DJ hire across Essex for staff nights, office parties, sales celebrations, incentives, networking evenings and client socials. We work everywhere from West Essex venues in Loughton, Epping, Chigwell and Buckhurst Hill to hotels and seafront spaces in Brentwood, Chelmsford, Southend-on-Sea, Leigh-on-Sea, Rayleigh and Billericay.

Many of our Essex events involve teams travelling in from London or across the county, so we’re used to working around last trains, shift patterns and tight schedules. You get a DJ who understands the brief, turns up prepared and makes the night feel like a genuine reward for your team.

This page is specifically for corporate DJ hire in Essex - if you’re planning outside Essex, see our main corporate DJ service page.

Professional DJ Entertainment for Every Corporate Occasion

 

Essex has a strong “work hard, play hard” culture - from London-based teams heading out to West Essex venues for their annual party, to local businesses in Chelmsford, Brentwood or Basildon celebrating big wins. Those nights need a DJ who can keep things upbeat and inclusive without turning it into a free-for-all.

We regularly play at office parties, end-of-quarter celebrations, summer get-togethers and Christmas events in hotels, bars, restaurants, golf clubs and hired spaces across Essex. We’ll shape the flow of the evening around your plans: a relaxed start for after-work arrivals, space for food and speeches if needed, then a proper party once everyone’s ready to unwind.

The focus is simple: a night that feels like your company - not a random playlist on shuffle and not a wedding dropped into a corporate setting.

Trusted by Leading Global Brands

 

We’re trusted by both Essex-based businesses and household names to look after their people and their reputation. Our experience includes events for Mercedes, HSBC, ANZ Bank and TUI, as well as performing on the F1 Main Stage at Silverstone alongside Mel C (Spice Girls).

Whether it’s a small team night in Leigh-on-Sea or a large multi-office event, you get the same approach: thoughtful planning, tidy presentation and a DJ who understands that they’re representing your brand as well as their own.

“We booked Matt for our office party at Orsett Hall in Essex and they were brilliant. Communication beforehand was easy, setup on the day was hassle-free, and once the formalities were done they had everyone dancing. The music worked for all ages and the atmosphere just kept building. Thanks, Matt.”

Samuel - Marex

“We booked MHX for our corporate social at a venue in Leigh-on-Sea and it was exactly as we wanted. Early comms was excellent and Matt was so easy to deal with. Colleagues who never usually dance were up by the end of the night. A really professional, friendly DJ who made the whole event feel easy.”

Gemma - Leigh-On-Sea

How We Shape the Night in Essex Venues

 

No two Essex events are the same. A team night in a bar near Loughton feels very different to a summer party by the seafront in Southend or Leigh-on-Sea - and the music needs to reflect that.

We’ll talk through what kind of night you want: low-key and social, high-energy and loud, or something in between. For after-work parties, we usually start with a lighter soundtrack while people arrive straight from the office, then build into more dance-floor friendly sets as the room relaxes. For more structured evenings with welcome drinks, dinner and awards, we keep things comfortable during the formal parts and step things up when you’re ready to celebrate.

You can give us must-plays, songs to avoid and general guidance on styles. We’ll then read the room and stitch it all together so the changes in tempo feel natural, not forced.

Latest Equipment & Production

 

A lot of Essex corporate events don’t happen in traditional conference centres - they’re in bars, restaurants, golf clubs or seafront venues. That means your DJ has to be able to work neatly in tighter spaces and around existing furniture, rather than dropping a huge rig in the middle of the room.

We bring a self-contained sound and lighting setup that’s sized to your venue and guest list. That typically includes a clean, full-range sound system, tasteful lighting for the dancefloor, a compact but professional DJ booth and, where useful, uplighting or extra fixtures to give the room a bit of atmosphere.

If your venue has particular rules - sound limiters, neighbours, shared access or low ceilings - we’ll factor that into the plan so you get the best possible result without clashing with house policy. All of our equipment is PAT-tested, and we carry public liability insurance, which we can forward to your venue if they need copies in advance.

Essex Corporate DJ Pricing - Typically From £450

 

We don’t use “bronze, silver, gold” packages. Instead, we price each Essex event on what you actually need.

When we quote, we look at your date, venue location, rough guest numbers, how long you want music for, the sort of setup required and whether you need extras like microphones for speeches or additional lighting.

As a ballpark, most Essex corporate DJ bookings start from £450 and typically includes: DJ + sound + dancefloor lighting + tidy booth (venue/guest dependent), with the final figure depending on timings and any further add-ons.

Our setups are clean and modern, our announcements are clear but never over the top, and we’re always respectful of your guests, venue and company image.

Essex Corporate DJ – FAQs

We’re a London-based company holding our party in West Essex - is that something you do often?

Yes. It’s very common for London teams to choose West Essex venues - in places like Loughton, Epping, Chigwell or Buckhurst Hill - for their staff parties or end-of-year events. We’re used to planning with HR or events teams based in London and then delivering everything locally in Essex.

Our night has to finish early for last trains - can we still have a proper party?

You can. If your event needs to wrap up earlier because of trains back to London or across Essex, we’ll simply shape the night so the energy peaks sooner. That might mean shorter speeches, a tighter timeline and a faster build into the dancing - but it can still feel like a full night out for your team.

We’re hiring a bar or restaurant rather than a hotel - is that okay?

Absolutely. Many Essex company nights take place in bars or restaurants where space is shared with other guests earlier in the evening. We’ll agree setup and soundcheck times with the venue, bring a compact but capable system and keep our footprint as neat as possible so we don’t dominate the room.

Can you keep things fun without it feeling like a nightclub?

Yes. We understand that not every Essex event needs a full club feel. We can still play recognisable favourites and dancefloor tracks without going too heavy or intense. If your team loves a particular era or style, we can lean into that while keeping the overall sound appropriate for a corporate setting.

Will you take song requests from our staff on the night?

We’re happy to take requests and weave them into the set, as long as they fit your brief. If there are tracks, artists or genres you’d rather avoid, let us know beforehand and we’ll politely steer away from them. The aim is to let people feel involved without losing the overall feel of the night.

Music Playlists

What if our Essex venue has neighbours or a strict sound limiter?

Plenty of Essex venues - especially those in residential areas or on the seafront - have sound restrictions. We work with that rather than against it. Once we know what’s in place, we’ll plan the setup accordingly and manage levels carefully through the night to keep the mood lively without causing issues.

Can you help with microphones for a short thank-you speech or awards segment?

Yes. We can provide wireless microphones and look after the levels so your thank-you speech, quick presentation or awards moment is heard clearly. We’ll agree rough timings for those sections in advance so we can adjust the music smoothly.

Are you insured and is your equipment safety tested?

All of our equipment is PAT-tested, and we hold public liability insurance at a level that satisfies most bars, hotels and event venues in Essex. We can send documentation ahead of time if your venue needs it.

Equipment & PAT Testing/PLI

How do we secure the date for our Essex event?

Once you’re happy with your quote, we’ll confirm your event details in writing and send a straightforward booking agreement. A deposit secures the date, with the remaining balance usually due closer to the event. Everything - including payment timings - is laid out clearly so there are no surprises.
