Wedding DJs in Bristol

Wedding DJs for your evening reception in Bristol

The right DJ can make an evening reception. In Bristol, couples book wedding DJs for the whole evening, or to follow a live band, knowing that a DJ can cover any era or genre and take requests as the night goes on.

Across Bristol, wedding DJs are booked for receptions in and around Bristol, Clifton and Portishead. Venues in the area include Leigh Court, Manor Farm and Clevedon Hall, each with its own evening reception space. Other venues in the area include Nailsea Tithe Barn, Aldwick Court Farm and Old Down Manor, and each has its own venue page further down.

Wedding DJs come in a few different styles. Some focus on a classic party set that covers every decade; others add a live saxophonist, percussionist or singer for a bigger show, and some also host the evening, making announcements for the first dance, the cake and the last song.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched couples with the right entertainment for their day. The DJs listed here all travel to Bristol, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.

The essentials:

  • Budget from around £400 to £1,200, depending on the DJ and the date
  • Book a DJ for the whole evening or to follow a band
  • Popular dates go months in advance
  • Everything included is listed in your quote
  • Change your mind within 14 days and get a full refund

Some couples book a DJ for the whole evening; others book a live band and have a DJ play between the sets and after the band finishes. Both work well. Tell us your timings and the venue's finish time and we can suggest what suits your day.

Most bookings fall between £400 and £1,200. A DJ for the evening reception sits at the lower end, while a longer package, a DJ with a live saxophonist or percussionist, or a full day with ceremony music sits towards the upper end. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference.

Every DJ's page has photos and video of their set-up, along with reviews from couples who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the look before you commit.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the day. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day.
