DJ Illusion specializes in Seattle school dances, from homecoming and prom to glow dances and winter formals. Every package includes club-style lighting, clean music edits appropriate for all ages, and live song requests via a scannable QR code. DJ Illusion hosts your dance rather than just playing music for it. Your DJ is also your MC, running introductions, announcements, and the court crowning while keeping your program on time from the first song to the last. Packages are priced for three-hour events and scale with your group size. For average prices across event types, see our Seattle DJ cost guide. Hosting a college or Greek event?

We used DJ Illusion for a high school prom and absolutely loved it. He was great with communication and being clear about what he needed from us, as well as understanding our needs and meeting them. The music was great and he took suggestions from students. Thank you so much! I highly recommend using DJ Illusion.
DJ Illusion is GREAT for High School dances! Affordable, reliable, takes student requests, AND works with our School District accounting. The best!
This was our first time using DJ Illusion. He was a great DJ. Even though a lot of our middle school kids weren't dancers, they really seemed to like him. We will look into using him again for our next dance.
Came to our school homecoming, awesome lights and great music!
Amazing to work with! DJ Illusion helped make our school dance one of the best we have had.
Terrific DJ Illusion experience for our school dance. From booking to breakdown, DJ Illusion was professional and made everything easy and fun with excellent music for our guests. Everyone had a great time!
DJ Illusion has a great selection of music and is super easy to work with! Perfect for a high school dance - easy to work with District Purchase orders too.
DJ Mack had outstanding lighting at our junior /senior prom. His playlist was great! Over the top. He played requested songs and had sick remixes. Will hire again next year!
Stephen was our DJ for our elementary school dance in May 2014, we chose to hire Stephen again this year for our Fall Harvest Dance in Nov 2014. He was awesome to work with, had the perfect mix of music for young students and did all of the games and activities that I had asked for exceptionally well. The kids had a blast and loved every moment of the dance. I personally loved the dance even more with Stephen as our DJ because he took the stress of the night off of me and took control of the games and dances. He is truly a wonderful person to work with and helped our school hold a successful and fun school dance! Thank you Stephen!!! We look forward to our upcoming dance in a few days!
What can I say, he is the best DJ the high school has ever used. 11/10 would hire again.

Homecoming and prom deserve more than a generic DJ setup. DJ Illusion brings club lighting that transforms your venue, seamless music transitions, and a packed dance floor from the first song to the last. Prom packages include wireless uplights to accentuate your venue’s architectural features and help set the mood.
Planning homecoming? Our homecoming dance planning guide walks ASB advisers through the full timeline, budget, and the questions to ask any DJ before booking.

Powerful UV lighting covers an entire gymnasium, making neon apparel and accessories glow from the moment students walk in. DJ Illusion’s blacklight setup creates an interactive, high-energy atmosphere that lasts all night.

TOLO and Spring Fling crowds bring their own energy, and DJ Illusion reads the room to match it. Customizable lighting and a live-mixed set keep these dances just as memorable as prom night.
Request a QuoteOur school dance packages start at $999 for three hours of event time and grow with your group size and A/V needs. Additional hours are $300 each. Every package includes hosting and MC work, professional sound, lighting, setup, and teardown, with no hidden fees.
Yes. We scale sound and lighting to the venue, and our premium JBL systems cover crowds of 1,000 students and above without bringing in an outside vendor. Club-Style is built for up to 1,000 and Headliner goes beyond it, so tell us your expected attendance and we will confirm the right package for the room.
DJ Illusion specializes in hosting Seattle high school dances, from homecoming and prom to winter formals, TOLO, and spring fling. We even offer neon glow/black light dance packages to support your theme dances.
We host the whole dance, not just play music. Your DJ is also your MC, from introductions and announcements to the homecoming or prom court crowning, so a professional is always running the room and your program stays on time. You decide how much mic presence you want, and we keep it energetic and age-appropriate for students. Our job is to guide the flow of the night without ever talking over it.
Yes, we play censored, radio-appropriate music suitable for guests of all ages. Students can request the songs they enjoy and administrators don’t have to worry about explicit lyrics coming out of the speakers.
We provide a questionnaire to gather song requests and a do not play list in advance. Students can also make live requests from their phones using a QR code, no app needed.
Yes. Purchase orders, school invoicing, ASB funding, parent committee checks, you name it. We make the paperwork easy on your end. We have master services agreements established with many of the school districts around Seattle making the booking process as easy as signing a statement of work to get a PO started.
Yes. DJ Illusion carries comprehensive event liability insurance with a $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate limit. Certificates of insurance and custom COIs naming your school or district are available upon request.
We include a professional, concert-grade hazer with most of our lighting packages. Haze is what makes beams of light visible through the air. We always confirm your venue’s haze policy with you ahead of time.
Absolutely. We bring backup laptops and audio/lighting redundancy to every event. Equipment failure isn’t something you’ll have to stress about.
As many schools are looking to book on the same days for spring prom and fall homecoming, we encourage you to book 6 to 12 months in advance. Our calendar books up quickly. Once your dance dates are confirmed for the year, we would encourage you to reach out right away.
We arrive one to three hours before events for load-in and setup, depending on the package and add-ons you select. Teardown generally takes about an hour. Things like how close to your stage we can unload, if we need to use an elevator or traverse stairs, all impact how quickly we can work. We coordinate directly with your venue coordinator to keep it smooth.
We cover the greater Seattle area including Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Renton, Kent, Federal Way, Tacoma, and Everett. We often travel up to 50 miles outside of Seattle, so contact us for events outside this range.
