🎧 How to Choose an Event DJ or Venue in Kenya – 5 Things to Check Before You Book

Whether you’re planning a wedding in Syokimau, a birthday bash in Kilimani, or a product launch in Eldoret—your DJ sets the vibe, and your venue sets the tone. But with so many options, how do you choose the right match?

Here are five things to check before you book an event DJ or venue in Kenya:

✅ 1. Are They Verified and Reviewed?

A great DJ doesn’t just play music—they read the room. And a great venue doesn’t just look good—it works for your flow.

What to look for:

  • ✅Verified badge on the Balozy App
  • ✅Ratings and reviews from past events
  • ✅Sample mixes or playlists from DJs
  • ✅Photos and layout details from venues

💡 On Balozy, every DJ and venue is background-checked and reviewed—so you book with confidence.

🔊 2. Do They Match Your Event Style?

Your DJ should match your crowd—whether it’s gospel, gengetone, afrobeats, or old-school classics. Your venue should match your vibe—whether it’s garden, rooftop, hall, or lounge.

Ask before booking:

  • ✅What genres do you specialize in?
  • ✅Do you offer MC services or live mixing?
  • ✅Is the venue suitable for my guest count and theme?

📍 3. Are They Local to Your Area?

Booking someone from your estate or cluster means faster setup, easier coordination, and fewer delays.

Balozy Tip: Use the “Near Me” filter to find DJs and venues in Nairobi, Machakos, Eldoret, Kisumu, or wherever you are.

💬 4. Do They Communicate Clearly?

You want someone who confirms your booking, shares a setup plan, and arrives on time—not someone who ghosts or improvises.

Look for:

  • ✅Fast response time on the app
  • ✅Transparent pricing and service scope
  • ✅Respectful, professional tone

🧰 5. Do They Offer Full Setup and Support?

A verified DJ should bring sound, lights, and backup gear. A verified venue should offer parking, restrooms, and decor flexibility.

Ask:

  • ✅Do you provide sound system, lighting, or backup power?
  • ✅Can the venue accommodate catering, décor, or photography?
  • ✅Is there a rain plan or indoor option?
