How It Works
Get in Touch
Send through your date, venue, and a rough idea of what you’re after. You’ll receive a clear, itemised quote — no hidden fees, no generic packages.
Lock in Your Brief
A week or two before your event, you simply send through your music selections and any important details for the night. Include your must-play songs, do-not-play songs and any special moments we should be aware of. Your DJ will be fully briefed before the event and prepared to deliver the experience you’re after.
Show Up and Enjoy the Night
On the night, the DJ arrives early, sets up the rig, and handles everything from start to pack-down. You don’t need to manage anything. The photo booth attendant and photographer (if booked) run independently from arrival through to the end of their hire window.
