Chit Chat

Do you charge a travel fee?
Travel is free for venues within 25km of the Sydney CBD. Beyond that it's $2 per km, calculated on the full return distance. For example, a venue 40km away is 80km return, so $160.
Do you travel outside Sydney?
Yes. I play weddings across the Northern Beaches, Southern Highlands, Hunter Valley, South Coast, Blue Mountains, Central Coast and throughout NSW.
How far in advance should we book?
Peak season Saturdays (October to April) usually book out 12+ months ahead. I take 35 to 40 weddings a year, so check your date early.
Are you our DJ and our MC?
Yes. One person runs your music and your night: entrances, speeches, formalities and the dance floor.
Will you be the one at our wedding?
Always. No agency, no substitute DJ. You deal with me from the first call to the last song.
Can we choose the music?
Absolutely. We plan your must-plays, do-not-plays, entrance and first dance together, and then I read the room to keep the floor full.
How much is the deposit?
A 10% deposit locks in your date. The balance is due two weeks before your wedding.
What if something goes wrong on the night?
Backup equipment comes to every wedding, and public liability insurance is always included.
Can you do our ceremony too?
Yes. Ceremony and cocktail music is a $1,000 add-on, or it's included in The Full Shebang ($3,900 inc GST).

More about the vendor team

I'm Joe, and I run every wedding myself. No agency, no substitute DJ, no handover to someone you've never met.

I've spent 25+ years behind the decks across 500+ events, from clubs and festivals to corporate nights and weddings, in Sydney, Melbourne, Vancouver, Seattle, Los Angeles, London and Kuala Lumpur. That many rooms teaches you how to read any crowd.

These days weddings are my focus. I'm your DJ and your MC, so one person looks after your playlist, your run sheet, your entrances, your speeches and every formality in between. In 2025 I was named ABIA NSW Wedding DJ Runner-Up and ABIA NSW Wedding MC Finalist, and I've got 120+ five-star Google reviews.

What I stand for:

- Honesty. Every price is on my website, GST included. No "contact us for a quote".

- Attention. I take 35 to 40 weddings a year, so I know your night inside out before I arrive.

- Doing it properly. Pro gear, backup equipment at every wedding, public liability insurance always included.

I'm also a husband and a dad, so I know exactly what's at stake on your wedding day. I don't take that lightly.
