For big fans of music, a birthday party is a chance to show off your playlists and your favourite kinds of music, while also enjoying an evening swaddled in the best tracks in your life. When you’re organizing your birthday event, as a music fan, you want the sounds to be front and centre of the entire evening — and to do this, you need to think carefully about how you’re going to curate your event around your favourite songs.
In this article, we provide a few tips to help you plan an unforgettable birthday party, serenaded by the music you love.
Speakers
The first and most important step in organizing a birthday party with music is to think about the speaker system and the audio connectivity. If you don’t own the kinds of speakers that can generate the sound you need for your party, you’re going to need to find a company from which you can hire some in your local area. Think, too, about the acoustics in your venue and whether you need to keep under a certain decibel level in recognition of neighbours and noise pollution.
Hire a DJ
The best way to play music at your event is with the help of a DJ. Without such help, you’re going to have small pauses in the music between each song, which will break up the rhythm of your evening. Hiring a DJ, and giving them a set list that you’re particularly interested in hearing, can make for a better flow of music throughout your evening. Or, if you know someone who’s got mixing skills, you can ask them to curate a mix to play at your special event; it won’t be live, but at least it’ll be smooth.
Live Music
On the other hand, if you’re more into the sound and sight of musicians — and if you and your friends love gigs — then you might prefer to hire music for your event, instead of playing it from speakers. You can find an exciting list of such professionals for hire here, all of whom have experience setting up and playing to parties in your local area. This is your chance to find the band and the sound that you really want at your birthday party, and a chance to blow your guests away with live music from talented individuals.
Dance Floor
Finally, where there is music, there is dancing. Birthday parties that are the most memorable are those that leave ample space for dancing, where people can enjoy the evening with the music that they adore. When you’re picking a venue or curating the room in which your party will take place, remain cognizant of the area where your guests will dance. Towards the end of the night, this’ll be the place at which you and your friends dance the night away with broad smiles.
For music fans, the prospect of a birthday party built around music is something that’s too wonderful to miss. As such, this article looks at what you’ll need to do to plan a musical birthday party this year.
