Planning your wedding music
We start with a planning chat a few weeks before the day. We will go through your favourite artists, songs that mean something to you, any tracks you never want to hear, and the key moments: entrance, first dance, cake cutting, any special dances and your final song.
We also ask about your guests. Knowing whether you have a big group of uni friends, an older family crowd or lots of children helps us shape the night so the dance floor never empties.
The shape of a great wedding evening
Most weddings work best with a relaxed warm-up as the evening guests arrive, a first dance, then a steady build from feel-good classics everyone knows into higher-energy party anthems. We read the room and adjust as we go rather than sticking rigidly to a list.
The last half hour is usually the best of the night, so we save a few big singalongs for the end and finish with the song you have chosen.
Working with your venue
Many wedding venues have sound limiters, curfews or rules about where kit can go. We check these with your coordinator in advance, arrive early, and set up tidily so the room looks good in your photos.
If your venue is a marquee, barn or garden, we will talk through power, weather cover and cable routes so there are no surprises.
Speeches, announcements and timings
Our wireless microphone is available for speeches, and we are happy to act as a light-touch host, announcing the first dance, the buffet and the bouquet toss if you want. We keep in touch with your venue and photographer on the day so every key moment happens on cue.
Music for your wedding
Most great wedding nights blend several styles. These are the sets couples ask for most. Click any one to see example tracks.

Wedding DJ FAQs
How far in advance should we book a wedding DJ?
Popular Saturdays in spring and summer often book up 12 to 18 months ahead. Get in touch as soon as you have a date and venue, and we will check availability straight away.
Can we choose all the music?
Yes, as much or as little as you like. Most couples give us a list of favourites and must-plays, plus a do-not-play list, and leave the rest to us so we can respond to the crowd.
Do you play during the wedding breakfast or drinks reception?
Yes. We can provide background music for your drinks reception and meal, then switch to the evening party. Just let us know when you enquire.
Will you take requests from guests?
Yes, we take requests on the night as long as they fit the mood and are not on your do-not-play list.
Can you work with our venue sound limiter?
Yes. Our kit sounds full and clear at controlled volumes, and we check limiter settings with your venue before the day.
Which areas do you cover for weddings?
We are based in Dover and cover weddings right across Kent, with most in East Kent: Dover, Deal, Folkestone, Canterbury, Sandwich, Thanet, Whitstable, Herne Bay, Ashford and the villages in between.
Can you provide ceremony and drinks reception music too?
Yes. We can cover the whole day with a separate ceremony and drinks setup, so there is no gap in music when your guests move between rooms.
