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.
