Cocktails and dinner
Background music that sets the tone while you're off with the photographer, then lifts the room as dinner winds down.
Wedding DJ Melbourne A dance floor built for your crowd.
Cocktail hour, dinner, the big moments and a dance floor that stays full, mixed live by a Melbourne wedding DJ who has been doing it since 2005, and who can run the microphone too.
The DJ set
What you get with John on the decks
Your wedding DJ shapes the whole night, not just the last two hours. Here's how John builds the music around your day.
The big moments
Your entrance song, cake cut and first dance cued to the second, because the person reading the announcement is also the one pressing play.
The dance floor
Your must-plays, none of your do-not-plays, and a live read of your crowd for everything in between, through to the last song.
Why one person
Why your wedding DJ should hold the mic
Most Melbourne weddings split the job between a DJ and an MC. Here's what changes when it's one person.
Normal?
- A DJ and an MC who met five minutes before the entrance
- Silence while someone hunts for the microphone
- Speeches that run long and eat the dance floor
- Names that get mispronounced in front of everyone
- The same playlist as the last wedding you went to
Let's not.
- One person on the music and the mic, working from one plan
- The next song cued before the applause ends
- A running sheet that keeps the night on time
- Every name checked with you before the day
- Music picked for your crowd, not the last one

FAQ
Wedding DJ Melbourne questions
How long has John been a wedding DJ?
John has been a working DJ and MC in Melbourne since 2005, across roughly 1,700 events, and holds a 5.0 Google rating from 129 reviews.
Can we give you a playlist?
Yes. You complete a music questionnaire with your must-plays, your do-not-plays and the songs for each big moment. John reads the room for everything else.
Do you DJ the ceremony and cocktail hour too?
Yes. John can cover ceremony music, cocktail hour, dinner and the dance floor, so the music is planned as one set across the whole day.
Will the DJ also make the announcements?
With John, yes. He runs the microphone and the music together, so the entrance, speeches, cake and first dance flow without a handover between two suppliers.
Does John bring his own equipment?
Yes. John sets up and sound checks his gear well before your first guest arrives, and coordinates with your venue on power and placement.
How much does a wedding DJ cost in Melbourne?
It depends on how long you need music for and what else you add. The pricing page shows from-prices, and your proposal gives an exact figure.
Do you play weddings outside Melbourne?
Yes. John regularly plays the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula, and travels interstate and overseas for weddings.
