Hi, I'm
Charl.

I build the soundtrack around the purpose of your event, whether that's helping people connect, celebrating a milestone, raising money or launching something new. I've been DJing for over eight years, and what I love most is bringing people together through music. Whether I'm playing at a private celebration, a brand event, a corporate function or a wellness experience, every playlist is thoughtfully curated to reflect the people in the room and the feeling you want to create. From the first guest arriving to the last song of the night, my goal is simple: to make the music feel effortless, so your event is remembered for all the right reasons.

02What hosts say

The whole evening felt effortless

So glad I found Charlotte! She made the whole evening feel effortless. She arrived, set everything up seamlessly, then returned looking like a disco ball and played the perfect mix of music all night. She completely read the room, kept the energy flowing and created such a fun atmosphere. She honestly made the night.

She read the room as it changed

An amazing DJ who instinctively knows how to read a room. Charlotte created the perfect soundtrack for our event, adapting the music effortlessly as the atmosphere evolved. Professional, stylish and incredibly easy to work with, she elevated the whole experience and so many guests commented afterwards on how brilliant the music was.

Songs I'd forgotten I loved

I genuinely couldn't have asked for anyone better. From a simple sample playlist, Charlotte completely understood my music taste and created the perfect soundtrack for the evening, including songs I'd forgotten I loved. She was warm, professional and so engaging with all of the guests, and everyone was talking about how brilliant the music was afterwards. I only wish I had another event to book her for!

03The difference

Not your Ibiza vibes DJ.

Sometimes you'll find me in a sequinned jumpsuit with a packed dance floor singing every word. Other times, you might barely notice I'm there while your guests settle into conversation over dinner. Both are exactly where I'm supposed to be.

Great event music isn't about being the loudest thing in the room. It's about understanding what the moment needs and creating an atmosphere that helps your event unfold naturally.

04The craft

The room comes first, every time.

Eight years of DJing and the same job every time: work out what the room needs before the room knows, then give it that.

05What your event is actually for
01

Brands and launches

Sound that fits your brand rather than overwriting it. I know when to hold the room and when to stay out of the way, and I'll dress for your guest list.

02

Private celebrations

Your friends and family on the floor, not standing at the edges. All ages, all night, and nobody checking their phone for a taxi at nine.

03

Non-profits and fund raisers

Keeping donors in the room and the energy up after the speeches. Generous rooms are warm rooms, and the music is a large part of how a room feels.

04

Companies and teams

Getting a room of different departments and different ages onto the same floor. Whether the evening is for networking, celebrating or saying goodbye to someone, the music serves that — not the other way round.

06Reliability

You won't have to manage me.

  • I arrive early, set up around your run sheet, and work with your venue and AV directly so you don't have to relay messages.
  • I carry public liability insurance and PAT-tested gear, and I'll send certificates to your venue without being asked.
  • Speeches might run over, and timing changes on the night are handled. If the schedule shifts, I have it covered.
