EXCELLENTBased on 51 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Hester2024-03-31Ren saved our wedding day! He jumped into help us only a few weeks out from the day when we hadn’t heard back from our original DJ. We had several discussions in the lead up to the wedding, and Ren gave us a really easy to use music app where we could upload our existing playlists and songs to help him get an understanding of the type of music we like. On the night, Ren absolutely nailed the songs - right from the slow and soft dinner music to total bangers at the end of the night. He read the room so well and absolutely everyone was on the dance floor! Thanks for making our night so special :)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Lachlan Lewis2024-03-04Ren is a top bloke for all your music needs, down to every little song and played so many different genres.

Nothing was too much to ask of Ren and he was able to blend all the requests smoothly to ensure everyone enjoyed the music and were up dancing all night. The energy was off the charts, and we couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our party a success. Thanks, DJ Ren – we highly recommend you!

From the planning and consultation process through to the organisation of our wedding Ren made the entertainment side such a breeze. Many of our guests have commented on how good he was and the fun vibe that he had. Ren was more than happy to cater to the wet weather, moving equipment into our marquee for speeches without a fuss. We still have guests saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Would 100% recommend Ren and will be letting all our friends know.

The choice of songs was well-received, and the DJ's ability to curate a playlist from this era likely contributed to a great atmosphere and enjoyment for the audience. He was very proactive with the process knowing that We hired him 2 weeks before the wedding. I personally vouch and recommend anyone that are looking for DJs for their wedding or any event.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jeremy Wilcox2023-10-27Top bloke, knows exactly what music to play!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.rachele pentes2023-10-16I hired DJ Ren for my 40th RnB Rewind themed party and he did not disappoint!

Wedding DJs, MCs, Photobooths, and Lighting in Canberra & NSW
According to a study conducted by ABIA in 2023, a wedding in Australia costs an average of $40,700. In NSW specifically, the average wedding costs $38,300. Here is the original link to the article: ABIA Wedding Costs 2022
DJs vary HUGELY in price in Australia, particularly because the attention to detail, care factor, equipment quality, and time spent with each couple varies significantly depending on the DJ. Typically, DJs range from $800 to upwards of $6000 for the ‘cream of the crop’ DJs.
Believe it or not, DJs don’t just press play! One of the most complex and important jobs of a DJ is to read the crowd, and this is something that no technology (at least not yet), Spotify playlist, or guest can perform as skilfully. On top of that, our head DJ, DJ RENKUN, is a master of wordplays, cool transitions, and crowd control, which adds to the show!
DJs are also crucial for maintaining schedules, liaising with other vendors and the venue on the day of the wedding to ensure that things go smoothly. To find out more about our DJ services, enquire with us here.
DJs can quite literally make or break a wedding reception, especially if partying is the goal. If you’ve ever been to a wedding with a bad DJ, you know how big of an impact this makes on the energy of the party.
When figuring out your budget for your DJ, it is important to keep in mind that investing in a good DJ is extremely important, if partying is the goal of course.
Here at 8’Til Late, we offer a plethora of services in addition to DJ services, because we believe in doing everything we can to make your wedding vision happen. We offer:
- MC Services
- Photo Booths
- Lighting
- Cold Sparks
- Dry Ice
- TVs
- and More!
Enquire with us to find out more about how we can help you achieve your vision for your wedding in Canberra, South Coast, regional NSW, Jindabyne, and all surrounding areas.
Spotify or Apple Music have amazing playlist-building tools that allow you to easily curate playlists for your wedding.
Here at 8’Til Late, we give you access to an interactive music planning app, where you can integrate your Spotify and Apple Music playlists, as well as highlight special songs, answer questions for the DJ, invite guests to to add music requests, and so much more! Learn more about our app here, or chat with us about it.
Having a friend or family member MC your wedding can add a personal touch, but hiring a professional MC offers several key benefits.
- Expertise and Experience: A professional ensures smooth transitions, keeps the schedule on track, and handles unexpected situations with ease.
- Guest Enjoyment: Your friends and family can relax and fully enjoy the event without the added responsibility of managing it.
- Reduced Stress: A professional MC coordinates with vendors, makes announcements, and maintains the timeline, reducing stress for you and your guests.
- Professionalism: Skilled in public speaking, a professional MC engages the crowd and creates the desired atmosphere.
- Preventing Delays: Unlike a guest who might get caught up in the festivities, a professional MC focuses solely on their role, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
In short, a professional MC enhances your wedding experience by ensuring everything goes according to plan.
