Looking for a wedding DJ in Adelaide? Tennyson Events provides everything you need to have a bangin’ party, whether it be DJs, MCs, live saxophone, dance floor lighting, disco balls, vinyl turntables, CDJs & more!


Our Adelaide wedding Djs have over 20 years experience performing across South Australia and have held residencies at iconic nightclubs along Hindley Street such as Electric Circus, Red Square, HQ Complex, Dog N Duck, Marble Bar & more.

As one client told us “You’re not wedding DJs… you’re vinyl DJs who happen to play weddings”….

Each playlist is different, because every wedding is different! No standard templates here, our Adelaide wedding DJs work directly with you to weave in your music tastes throughout your reception.

We’re not a big business agency model, we’re a tight-knit team… From first contact we’ll match you with your Adelaide wedding Dj and they will be your point of contact right from the beginning.

  • We spend on average 14-16 hours on each event. This includes pre-event meetings, playlist research, helping with your timeline, pre-wedding site visits, conducting setup & sound check, MCing, programming dancefloor lighting & most of all, DJing!

    We play over 100 events a year, and over the last 20 years we have played thousands events to millions of people.

    We don’t just stand in a corner and hit play on a template playlist, we meet with our clients multiple times to ensure their music tastes are reflected throughout their wedding.

  • We are absolute experts in curating music. A lot of us are record collectors and some of us have worked managing record labels.

    We will work with you to understand exactly what type of music you like, and we are experts at blending what you want with what your guest will love.

    We’ve DJ’d for metal heads, pop punk enthusiasts, funk & soul lovers, DnB fiends, EDM festival goers and 90s anthem lovers! No genre is too niche for us, we’ve done them all.

    We use a mix of real vinyl and digital music which give us access to almost every song ever made.

    Some of our DJs are more fluent than others at certain styles, so we may suggest a specific DJ who is the expert in what you want.

  • Our team is composed of seasoned vinyl DJs who don’t just play music - they live it. With over 20 years of experience, each DJ brings a wealth of expertise, whether hosting prime-time radio shows on Fresh927, running iconic record labels for Ministry of Sound, or studying at prestigious music institutions.

    Every wedding we curate is as unique as the people getting married. Whether you’re into disco, pub rock, 80s synth pop, or the latest hits storming the Spotify charts, we’ll work closely with you to infuse your personality into every moment. Our approach is different - no amateur DJs, no part-time button-pushers, and no template playlists. Just expert DJing, perfectly timed from the first note to the last.

  • Head to the contact page.

    From the first email we will connect you with the dj for your wedding and they will guide you through the process.

    It starts with a few questions on email, then a face to face catch up via zoom, or over a coffee or drink. We'll get an outline of your musical tastes, and what you want out of us.

    If we feel that we are the right people for the job, and if you feel the same - we'll shoot over the paperwork.

    From there we'll catch up a second time before your wedding day to grab the final details, then it's time for the epic party!

  • We mostly do the one package:

    • We are first to come, last to leave. Arriving early to set up our gear before guests arrive. An average day for us is 6 - 9hrs of music.

    • Music starts before your guests arrive for your ceremony, and plays during drinks and reception music. We will bring the right equipment to suit your wedding.

    • We'll provide all our own equipment, speakers, lighting, and mics. We just need a power point. The exact equipment will be tailored to your event - if you have 200 people we'll bring extra equipment to make sure your speeches can be heard and your dance floor is pumping!

    • We are happy to MC too!

    You can chat to us about extra things like disco balls, and special effects.

  • This depends on the Dj and your date, the best thing to do would be to get in touch and have a chat.

    Our clients on average $2700-3700 on their wedding entertainment with us.

    And an average day for us includes
    - travel
    - setting up before guests arrive
    - playing music from before the ceremony until the final song
    - MC'ing
    - DJ and lighting equipment

    We spend 14-18hrs on every wedding booking. Planning, liaising, arriving before your guests & then packing down late into the night.

  • We sure do!

    Most of our weddings are located in Adelaide or the winery regions surrounding. We have also DJ weddings in Bali, and DJ weddings around Australia.

    We can work with local suppliers to make sure we put on an amazing show wherever you are.

Our Adelaide Wedding Dj Reviews

  • a dj with long hair grinning whilst standing behind vinyl turntables

    We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and MC than Ryley for our wedding at Golding Wines! From start to finish, he was incredible. The whole planning process was completely stress-free and felt more like chatting with a friend than organising a vendor. On the night, Ryley absolutely nailed the vibe — he curated a dance floor that kept our guests up and dancing all night long. Every song felt perfectly timed, and the energy never dropped. He created exactly the fun, relaxed, and unforgettable atmosphere we had hoped for. If you’re looking for a DJ who truly understands how to read a crowd and make your wedding unforgettable, we can’t recommend Ryley enough!

  • A male dj wearing glasses standing behind vinyl turntables and pointing in the air with both hands

    We booked DJ Dylan Sanders for our wedding at Longview Vineyard and from day one we knew we were in good hands. We always knew we didn’t want the same boring songs you hear at every wedding. We wanted HQ main stage / Stereosonic festival vibes and wow… Dylan absolutely delivered. He mixed so many of our favourite songs together and turned the dance floor into a full blown music festival. The energy was unreal from start to finish. What a night!!! 🔥 Best decision

  • Two DJs standing behind vinyl turntables and putting their hands up in the air

    We had DJ Ryley and Dylan at our wedding and HOLY SMOKES!!!!! We knew they were going to be incredible but they completely blew our minds and were the highlight of our wedding. From booking them to on the night, it was so seamless and easy and they gave us great ideas and really listened to what we wanted. I could not recommend these guys more. Everyone was on the dance floor at our wedding and every single person talked about how incredible the music and atmosphere was. We even had staff at Anvers Wines dancing behind the bar! Thank you guys so much, we will never forget that night and just want to relive it everyday!

    Mike was an absolute standout at our wedding! He nailed the music from start to finish and created exactly the vibe we were after, incorporating all our song requests seamlessly. What really set him apart was going above and beyond behind the scenes — working with my brother to organise a surprise saxophonist & then collaborating on the night to make it all come together perfectly. It was a highlight we’ll never forget! 🤍 Couldn’t recommend Mike enough — professional, easy to deal with, and genuinely cares about delivering an unreal experience. Thank you again for everything!

  • Dylan is the ultimate wedding DJ. From the very beginning, he set the perfect tone for our day and kept the energy exactly where we needed it—from the ceremony through the last song of the night. The transitions were seamless, and the music was perfectly tailored to us and our guests. Dylan is extremely professional and thoughtful in his approach. He made us feel extremely comfortable and we knew we were in good hands from the moment we met. Special mention for the amazing set up! It looked incredible in our venue (MITOLO) We received so many compliments after the wedding from guests who absolutely loved him and kept asking where we found our DJ. Truly amazing and such a huge part of what made our day unforgettable!

    DJ Ryley Smithson was incredible for our wedding in Jan 2026 at Lot 100! From our first meeting all the way through to our final song on our wedding night, he knew exactly what songs would hit for us. We had the most amazing wedding night, vibes were absolutely perfect by Ryley and the dancefloor was pumping. Even included some kids songs for our little one to join in & dance to! We're beyond grateful!
