Book or hire a DJ in Stockholm

A professional DJ in Stockholm usually costs SEK 6,000–15,000 per night, and newer DJs often charge from SEK 4,000. The price depends on set length, date and logistics: Saturdays in May, June and December get booked early, and a party in the archipelago means more travel and set-up. The price in the reply is what you pay - Jocky doesn't add a booking fee.

The most common are weddings, company parties and julbord, birthdays such as 30th, 40th and 50th parties, graduation parties and club nights at bars and restaurants. A DJ is the right choice when your guests want to dance and the music needs to follow the mood all night.

Through Jocky you book the DJ, and most DJs bring their own decks and sound, so the equipment is usually included in the price. If you only need sound for your party, read the guide hiring speakers for a party.

Yes, many DJs in Stockholm play on islands and boats. Give the location, boat times and whether there's power, and the DJ will include travel and set-up in their price.

For weddings and Saturdays in May, June or December: ideally three to six months ahead. For an ordinary Friday or a company party a few weeks is often enough, and sometimes you can find a DJ at just a few days' notice.

No. Searching, listening and sending requests is completely free, with no obligation. You only pay once you've chosen an artist and confirmed the booking.

Most artists reply within a few hours and almost all within 24 hours. If you send your request to several at once, you see all the replies in one place and can compare price, availability and format straight away.

As well as DJs, you can book live bands, troubadours, saxophonists, quiz hosts and stand-up comedians. They're all booked the same way – search, send a request, compare and choose.

It means we've checked their identity and contact details and that the artist can invoice – through their own company or through Jocky. Verified artists have also accepted our terms on cancellations and delivery, so you know where you stand before you book.

If the artist falls ill or can't make it, we'll help you find a replacement at short notice – often the same day. You never pay for a gig that doesn't happen.
