From intimate Year 10 formals to grand university balls — we have the experience and equipment for every school occasion.
School Formals
Year 10, 11 and Year 12 formals deserve an unforgettable night. Our DJs create the perfect atmosphere — elegant background music for arrivals, building to a high-energy dance floor that keeps going until the last song.
Debutante Balls
A debutante ball is a special occasion that calls for a DJ who understands both the formal ceremony and the party that follows. We'll work with your committee to ensure the music perfectly complements every part of the evening.
University Balls
University balls are bigger, longer and more complex than school events — and we love them. With professional sound systems that fill large venues and a music range spanning every genre and decade, we'll make it legendary.
End of Year Parties
Celebrate the end of the school year in style. From casual end-of-term gatherings to full school celebration nights, our DJs bring the right energy and music to make the occasion feel truly special.
After Parties
The formal is over — now the real party starts. Whether it's a house party after-party or a hired venue, our DJs know how to read the room and shift the energy from formal celebration to full dance-floor mode.
School Events & Fundraisers
Fetes, trivia nights, fundraisers, awards nights — if your school event needs music, we can make it happen. We're flexible, professional and experienced at working within school event guidelines and requirements.
Everything You Need for An Epic Night
Every school formal DJ booking comes fully equipped — no hidden extras, no organising separate AV.
Extensive Music Library
From 80s classics to the hardest house and today's Top 40 — our library spans every decade and genre. House & Techno, Hip-Hop & R&B, Alternative & Rock, Pop and everything in between. Over 25,000 tracks and growing.
Professional Sound System
Italian-made RCF speakers deliver crystal-clear, full-bodied sound that fills any venue — from a school auditorium to a large function centre. Sub-woofers included for events that need real bass impact.

UV lights, strobe lights, mirror balls, water wave effects, bubble machines, laser lights and sound-activated LED rigs. We bring the complete production — your venue will look and feel like a professional event space from the moment guests arrive.
MC Services Available
Need someone to host the night — introduce the formal party, run the night's programme, handle presentations and keep energy high between sets? Many of our school formal DJs are also experienced MCs. Just ask when you enquire.
Any Venue, No Problem
School auditorium, gymnasium, function centre, club, outdoor undercover area or restaurant — our mobile DJs can set up anywhere. We bring all cables, power adaptors and equipment needed. If it has power, we can make it work.

Real Reviews from Real Events
"Fantastic! Best DJ company I have ever dealt with. Paul Anthony was fantastic — he compiled a great playlist for the night, read the room to ensure the most appropriate track was always playing and our guests enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Great attention to detail."
"Great service for our corporate event. Josh was able to pick up on the vibe from the room and perfectly match it with track after track, while also catering to requests from the attendees. This was our second booking with MobileDJ.com.au — will definitely look to book again."
"Highly recommended! Had a totally positive experience. We had 70 teenagers at a 15th birthday party and the DJ was amazing — a great host, fantastic sound quality and he even helped clean up at the end. If you want a DJ, use these guys, you won't be disappointed!"
