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.

Having a friend or family member MC your wedding can add a personal touch, but hiring a professional MC offers several key benefits.

1. Expertise and Experience: A professional ensures smooth transitions, keeps the schedule on track, and handles unexpected situations with ease.
2. Guest Enjoyment: Your friends and family can relax and fully enjoy the event without the added responsibility of managing it.
3. Reduced Stress: A professional MC coordinates with vendors, makes announcements, and maintains the timeline, reducing stress for you and your guests.
4. Professionalism: Skilled in public speaking, a professional MC engages the crowd and creates the desired atmosphere.
5. 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.
