See our reviews. Also, our suppliers page includes a list of our partners. These suppliers also recommend us on their page.
Anything and everything! All of our djs are experienced with many types of music. We have a variety of playlists and we take requests. We also have access to over 30 million songs via spotify.
You will receive a questionnaire once your deposit has been paid. This will guide you through the process. Most people are required to finalise their song choices 90 days before their event.
Sure! But most of our clients just leave it up to us. You’re welcome to provide us with a ‘guide’ and we will do the rest.
Yes. This is included in all our packages.
Sure thing! We’ve worked with solo acoustic artists and bands. Even a saxophonist! We’ll ask you for their contact info. Leave the rest up to us. We’ll have a chat with them to ensure everything flows.

See our packages if you want to proceed!
Absolutely. We encourage you to create a Spotify playlist with your song suggestions. Or you can supply the music to your DJ on the night on a USB stick. This will ensure you hear the songs that are most special to you and your guests.
No
This is included in our overall pricing
e.g. 5.5 hours starts when your reception begins.
But, travel costs may apply depending on the location of your event. Contact us for more info.
We would love to give you a discount but our rates are fixed. This allows us to consistently book the best djs and retain our high level of customer satisfaction.

The quick answer is: no
Why?
Most clients need a DJ for 5 to 5.5 hours
We receive multiple enquiries for the same date. So, if we provide a cheaper rate for a shorter gig, we’ll probably have to turn down someone else who needs us for the standard 5 to 5.5 hours.
Also, it generally looks much better if your DJ is set up and ready to go before the guests arrive. This also means you’ll have access to a wireless mic, introduction/entrance music & background music during meals.
We prefer not to customise our packages.
That’s because they’re designed to suit the majority of clients
Take a closer look at our packages and you’ll see that our packages are actually very versatile and accommodating.
30-60 minutes before the ceremony (if booked)
60-90 minutes before the reception
We’ll email your venue on the week of your event.
No
We’ll email you if we have any dietary requests
100%. In fact, we were the only DJ service in our region to sign the largest local business petition for marriage equality before it was legalised.
Unfortunately not.
A word of advice –
If your event is close to an equipment hire shop, you might save some money.
Otherwise, the effort and travel time might not be worth the hassle. e.g. organising the order, picking it up, setting it up, figuring out any technical issues, packing it up, dropping it off, etc. You’ll also be liable for any damage caused.
You will be introduced (via email) to your dj approximately one week prior to your event. Sometimes we receive last minute bookings. Therefore, everything gets finalised closer to the date.
Only the best! Visit our website and watch the videos. Your dj will also supply a microphone.
All of our djs are very healthy and reliable. We are well connected in the dj scene and a backup plan is in place for every wedding.
We have found that most of our clients get all the information they need via email and phone. It saves them a lot of time too!
Request an invoice and pay your deposit. Then you’ll receive a questionnaire. This is how you pick your songs.

Here’s a few reasons why this is a bad idea:
But, if your budget is really tight, I suggest you don’t hire us. Don’t start your marriage in financial stress. It’s not worth it. Stick to your plan and don’t go into debt over something that isn’t essential.
