What does a wedding DJ do on the day?

Most set up during the meal, play the first dance and then run the evening, taking requests and keeping the dance floor busy. Many also make announcements for the cake, the first dance and the last song.

Can we give the DJ a playlist?

Yes. Most wedding DJs ask for a must-play and a do-not-play list before the day, then use their experience to fill the rest of the evening around it.

Do wedding DJs in Cornwall bring their own lighting?

Most bring a sound system and dance-floor lighting, and many have a DJ booth that suits a formal room. Check each DJ's page, and tell us the venue in Cornwall so we can confirm what fits.

Can a DJ work with a sound limiter at a venue in Cornwall?

Yes. Experienced wedding DJs work with sound limiters regularly. Let us know if your venue in Cornwall has one so the DJ can plan the set-up.

How much does a wedding DJ cost?

Typically £400 to £1,200, depending on the package, how long they play and the date. Your quote shows exactly what's included.

Can a DJ play after a live band?

Yes. Many couples book a band for the main part of the evening and a DJ to play between sets and after the band finishes.

Hire a wedding DJ in Cornwall

The right DJ can make an evening reception. In Cornwall, 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.

Whether your wedding is near Truro, Falmouth and Newquay or further afield, the DJs here cover the whole of Cornwall. Local venues include Tregenna Castle Resort, Tredudwell Manor and Eden Project, and it's worth checking your venue's finish time and any sound limiter. Other venues in the area include Boconnoc House, Lusty Glaze and Polhawn Fort, 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 Cornwall, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.

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.

Expect to pay from around £400 up to £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. Busy Saturdays and the December season sit at the top of the range, and your quote shows exactly what's included.

Rather than a generic description, every DJ's page shows the DJ you would be booking, with photos, videos and reviews, so you can get a clear picture well before the day.

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.
