Question 2

What is included in your DJ packages?

Accepted Answer

The Full Reception Package covers your entire reception from start to finish, including curated background music during dinner, seamless MC coordination, and a high-energy party set when it’s time to open the dancefloor. Everything is managed end-to-end so your day flows effortlessly.

For couples who only need music for the celebration portion, the Dancefloor Only Package focuses on the moment the party begins. I arrive later in the evening and deliver a high-impact DJ set designed purely to get your guests on the dancefloor and keep the energy going until close.

Both options include tailored playlists based on your preferences, stress free planning with professional sound and lighting suited to your venue and crowd.

Question 3

How far in advance should we book?

Accepted Answer

It’s recommended to book as early as possible to secure your date, especially during peak wedding months (February, March and September–November).
To ensure every couple receives a personalised and well-prepared service, I limit bookings to a maximum of two weddings per week.This means availability can fill quickly, particularly for popular Friday and Saturday dates, so getting in touch early is the best way to avoid missing out.

Question 4

Can we customise the music?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, I always meet with couples to discuss their music tastes.

Question 5

How do you handle song requests?

Accepted Answer

I love song requests! I have a dedicated requests page that you can share with your guests before the wedding, making it easy for everyone to submit their favourites ahead of time.
I’ll receive all of the submissions and send them through to you before the wedding so you can look them over and make sure you’re happy with what’s been requested.
Guests are also welcome to come up and request songs on the night. I’ll always use my experience to read the room, keep the dancefloor energy high, and make sure requests fit naturally with your music preferences and the atmosphere we’re creating.

Question 6

What about dinner tunes?

Accepted Answer

The right music sets the mood for the entire reception.During dinner and the earlier parts of the night, I’ll put together a custom playlist based on your tastes, your guests and the overall vibe you want to create.

That could include feel-good classics, soul, disco, funk, indie, acoustic, R&B, Motown, pop, soft rock, electronic, throwbacks and more.
The aim is to keep things relaxed and enjoyable while gradually building the energy as the night moves towards the dance floor.
Dinner and reception background music is included in the Full Reception Package.

Question 7

What about ceremony music?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I can handle all the ceremony music with a battery-powered Bluetooth speaker and wireless mic for your celebrant. It’s an extra $200 on top of the Full Reception Package.

Question 8

Do you MC?

Accepted Answer

Yes! MC services are available as an optional add-on to my Full Reception package.
If added, I can take care of the key announcements throughout the reception, introduce speeches and special moments, keep guests informed about what’s happening next, and help keep the night running smoothly alongside your venue and other vendors.
My MC style is relaxed, confident and natural - I’m there to keep things flowing without making the night feel overly formal or turning the attention onto myself.
We’ll go over the important details beforehand so I know how you’d like people introduced, the order of events, any announcements that need to be made and the overall tone you’re after.

Question 9

Do you travel for events?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! For weddings more than 50km from Jervis Bay, travel is charged at $1 per kilometre, calculated one way from Jervis Bay to your venue.
Any applicable travel fee is included in your quote upfront, so there are no surprises later.I regularly travel throughout NSW and beyond and love getting the opportunity to work at new venues and destinations.
I don’t charge an additional accommodation fee, even for weddings that require an overnight stay.
Please note: December and January weddings may require additional accommodation planning due to peak holiday periods and limited availability.

Question 10

What equipment do you use?

Accepted Answer

I use top-of-the-line sound and lighting equipment to ensure the best audio and visual experience. The setup includes high-quality speakers, wireless microphones, and dynamic lighting to create the perfect atmosphere.
