private celebrations

After 300+ nights,
I'll tell you a secret:
a great party was never about the playlist.

After 300+ nights, I'll tell you a secret: a great party was never about the playlist. It's knowing when to give space to talk, and when to pull everyone in like a magnet. Every night has its own pace. My whole job is to feel where yours wants to go — then take it there. Not force it or run a script. Sound, light and energy, shaped for your crowd. I like creating vibes that are great for everyone. It starts with a call. Your must-plays matter — but your do-not-plays matter just as much.

Milestone birthdays. Engagements. Launches. House parties. Whatever the night, I'm there to lift it up.

Nearly every guest asked me who the DJ was

“An incredibly talented and professional DJ who knows exactly how to manage the dancefloor from start to finish. Without question made my private event and knew exactly when to tweak the music to suit the crowd. I had nearly every guest ask me who the DJ was and where did we come across her as they loved Ivy that much as did we. Cannot recommend enough. Obrigado Ivy 🫶.”

She had the party in the palm of her hands

Every person who could dance was up there, and I had a very mixed age group, so it would have been difficult to please everyone. DJ Ivy pulled it off with ease. She made my 60th the best ever. I'd recommend her for any event.”

Private Events
FAQS

Before you book

What kinds of celebrations do you do?

Birthdays, milestones, engagements, launches, house parties, and full-scale private events. The approach shifts to the setting, the people and the feeling you're after — no fixed format.

How far ahead should we book?

Most private events lock in 1 to 4 months out. For key dates and bigger setups, earlier is safer.

What does it cost?

Pricing reflects the scale and setup of your night, not a flat rate.

Essential — $1,095
Signature — from $1,495
Production — from $2,090

A small-room gathering and a full-production party ask for different things, so the price matches what your night actually needs.

Do you take a deposit? Is it refundable?

Yes, 50% to confirm. The deposit secures your date and covers planning already underway, so it's non-refundable — but if you need to move the date, I'll always try to make it work.
The night

What makes this different from a typical DJ?

Nothing's pre-built or playlist-based. It's mixed live and read in real time, so the energy grows naturally instead of feeling forced or predictable. That's what keeps people on the floor all night, not just for a song or two.

Can we choose the music?

Yes, and it's built around you. Share your must-plays, your do-not-plays, and the direction you're after — I read the room and mix it live, so your songs land at the right moment, not all at once or out of place. A tight, meaningful list tells me your taste better than a giant one.

Do you take requests on the night?

Honestly, the best floors aren't taken by request — they're taken by surprise. When the booth turns into a queue, the room stops dancing and starts negotiating. Your do-not-plays are always respected. Everything else, trust me to read the moment — that's the part you're hiring me for.

What if people don't dance?

They usually do — when the night's built right. You don't force a floor, you build into it. Reading the room and pacing it properly is what brings people in; pushing energy too early is what empties it.
Setup

Do you bring everything?

Yes — sound and lighting provided and scaled to your space, whether it's a house party, a private venue or a bigger setting.

Will the setup take over the space?

A standard setup needs roughly a 2×2m area and access to a couple of power points. I'll confirm the exact requirements with your venue when we plan — it's part of the planning call.

How early do you arrive?

Early and unhurried — usually 1 to 2 hours before, depending on the setup. For a full production, I'll often be there earlier in the day. Everything's set up and soundchecked well before guests arrive, so nothing's rushed and nothing's visible. Setup and pack-down are included — never counted in your performance hours.

Do you liaise with our venue / planner / other suppliers?

Yes, and gladly. I coordinate with venues, planners and AV teams directly so the run of show is seamless — one less thing on your plate.
Planning

How much do we need to plan?

As much or as little as you like. Some send a playlist, some just describe the night they want — both are handled the same way, calmly and without fuss.

Do you handle everything on the day?

Yes — setup, performance and pack-down, so you're not thinking about logistics during your own party.
