The brief
Vetted djs, hired the way pros actually work.
DJs aren't just music — they read the room, hold the energy, and make or break the moment. In Nolita (Manhattan), BookACrew's DJ roster covers wedding open-format, corporate background-to-headliner, Latin (reggaeton, salsa, bachata), house, hip-hop, and Top 40. Every DJ has been rated by venues and clients.
Fashion + lifestyle brand pop-ups. Small venues, immersive activations, restaurant takeovers. Production aesthetic is photo-driven — soft lighting, ambient sound, instagrammable.

From the booking dashboard
The people
who already book here.
“I posted a last-minute dj call for a Nolita corporate dinner at 10pm and had three vetted applicants by midnight. The one I picked checked in at the dock on time, knew the venue cold, and the bill was exactly what the dashboard said it would be. That doesn't happen with phone-tree agencies.”
“We run two shows a week in this neighborhood and the same dj keeps applying. After three repeat bookings he hit ELITE and now he's our first choice. Saves me an hour of vetting per gig.”

Frequently asked
Questions about hiring
a dj in Nolita.
How much does a wedding DJ cost in Nolita?+
Range is $1,200-$4,000 in Nolita, depending on hours (4 vs 6 vs 8 hour package), MC duties, language, and DJ tier. ELITE-tier wedding DJs with a portfolio of luxury weddings start at $2,500.
Does the DJ bring sound + lighting?+
Not by default. Most DJs assume the venue or event team provides PA + lighting. Some 'mobile DJ' packages bundle small PA + uplights for backyard / non-venue events — specify when posting.

Most NYC wedding DJs cover ceremony + cocktail + reception as one package. Confirm ceremony location (might be separate from reception) and walk-down timings when posting the gig.
