FAQ

CODA is a leading DJ collective, representing an exclusive roster of artists for exceptional weddings, private celebrations, and brand events worldwide.

Where are you based?

We operate internationally, with dedicated teams across the UK and Europe. Our DJs perform most regularly in destinations including London, Paris, the French Riviera and Lake Como.

What makes CODA different from other DJ agencies?

Our reputation is built on meticulous attention to detail, close client relationships, and an uncompromising approach to quality. From highly sought-after DJs to premium sound and design-led lighting, every element is carefully considered to deliver exceptional events.

Do you travel for destination events?

Yes. We specialise in destination weddings and events, with dedicated bases for production in London, Paris, the French Riviera and Lake Como. We regularly provide DJs and DJ Live performances for destination weddings, private celebrations, and brand events worldwide.

How far in advance should we book?

For peak season and destination events, we recommend enquiring at least 6–12 months in advance. Some dates book significantly earlier, and we can on occasion cater to last minute requests.

Do you take music requests?

Absolutely. We work closely with every client to understand musical preferences, key moments, and must-play tracks, while recommending some flexibility to read the room on the night.

How involved should we be in the music planning?

As involved as you wish. Some clients prefer detailed input, while others trust us to curate the musical direction. We adapt our approach to suit each client. Our dedicated client portal is available for playlist submissions. 

How do we know which DJ will perform at our event?

For events taking place within the next 6–12 months, we will typically confirm your DJ at the point of booking. For events booked further in advance, the exact DJ is not always allocated immediately. This is a deliberate part of how we work.


Destination weddings and private events are often planned many months, sometimes years ahead. During this time, artists’ touring schedules, personal circumstances and international travel commitments can naturally evolve.

When you book CODA, you are securing the collective and our standards; a curated roster of world-class DJs, refined musical direction and a seamless production experience, rather than relying on the long-term availability of one individual.

Throughout the planning process, your main point of contact remains with our team. As your event approaches, we carefully match and confirm your DJ based on factors such as:

– musical taste and energy
– destination and logistics
– event style and atmosphere

Typically, your DJ will be fully confirmed around three months before the event. At this point everything is locked in, allowing your artist to focus on preparing your music and delivering an exceptional performance.

Do you offer DJ Live performances?

Yes. We provide access to Europe's most sought after vocalists, saxophonists, electric string performers and percussionists for high energy, immersive DJ Live performances.

Do you provide sound and lighting?

Yes. Integrated sound and lighting design is available in support of our DJ and DJ Live performances. With strategic bases across Europe and a trusted network of international partners, we deliver consistent technical standards wherever our DJs perform.

Do you work with planners and venues?

Yes. We regularly collaborate with leading planners, venues, and production partners to ensure smooth coordination and discreet execution. We are proud to be recommended by over fifty venues worldwide.

What type of events do you specialise in?

We specialise in weddings, private celebrations, corporate events, and brand experiences. We also work yearly on iconic occasions including the Monaco Grand Prix, Cannes Film Festival and Cannes Lions.

How does pricing work?

Each event is individually quoted based on location, duration, production requirements, and performance format. Following an initial consultation, we provide a detailed tailored proposal.

How many events do you take on each year?

We deliberately limit the number of events we accept each season, allowing us to deliver an unrivalled level of service and preparation for every client.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are covered with Public Liability up to £10 million.
