Toddler Parties
Baby DJ School
Our basic package is two hours long and includes one DJ who spins the music *and* leads games. Included in the fee are our fun-makers: a bubble machine, egg shakers, parachute, a limbo stick and two table top laser lights. If the room can be darkened to some degree, the laser lights fill the room with moving color and shapes; it’s like a disco ball but more colorful!
The package also includes DJ equipment: a DJ controller with light-up buttons and jog wheels that children can “scratch,” a laptop, a microphone, and a speaker that works for smaller size party rooms and apartment parties. This is a deliberately minimal setup that is unique to our agency. If the party will be on the larger side you can always rent our full sound system.

Basic Package
SAMPLE FOR TWO HOUR PARTY. Your DJ arrives in advance of the event so they can be fully set up and spinning the moment your guests arrive. The first few minutes or so the DJ will just be a friendly face playing background music, but once there are a few kids, games can begin when children are nearby. It’s nice for guests to get an energy kick from food at the 1-hour point, but at this age the official "eating" time is generally looser and food is often available throughout the event. After eating, we go back to more music and musical play. Then we usually do the birthday song and cake at the 1.5-hour point, sometimes followed by a smash cake for 1st birthday parties. Once again, the DJ does not stop their live DJ set during cake time, they keep the jams flowing! After that we end with a big final dance party!!
Games
Examples of games are freeze dance, songs with built in motions like the “Wheels On The Bus” and “Itsy Bitsy Spider,” (we have funky remixed versions of these tunes of course), and jumping around while we play the hip hop song “Jump Around,” shaking the egg shakers to the song "Shake It Off" and more. There is of course no getting "out" at this young age! All creative play is welcome!
With toddlers, parent involvement is necessary for extended engagement. At this age, simply having their grown up nearby helps them have the confidence they need to play with a new friend (your DJ). For that reason, it is suggested that all activities take place in a single room when possible.
Many first birthday parties, in particular, are often more of a celebration for the grown-ups and the emphasis is not full-time engagement with the babies, just pockets of child centered entertainment within a live DJ set for all ages. We know siblings and cousins of many ages often come to first birthday parties and we are great at making the older kids feel like they are part of the fun as well.
Run of Show
All of our DJs use the same core music catalogue, which was created and is constantly updated by founder DJ Natalie. It includes a mix of clean top 40 songs, 90s throw-back jams, rock and roll classics and songs from kid’s current media obsessions (Paw Patrol, Mickey Mouse Club House etc. ) and silly songs that children all seem to mysteriously know (“It’s Raining Tacos” “I’m a Gummi Bear.” “What Does the Fox Say”) We can also play remixes of classic kid’s songs like “Wheels on the Bus.”
All of our DJs are music lovers who prepare unique playlists for each event. They are happy to spin just about anything you are into, from old school hip hop, EDM and indie rock to classic nursery songs and Disney Princess hits and Kidz Bop. Just let us know the overall vibe and any specific song requests

First birthdays, in particular, are often four hours or more in some communities; it is a big family get together! We do those all the time, no need to limit it to 2 hours.
