Wedding DJs in Derbyshire

Hire a wedding DJ in Derbyshire

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

Popular wedding venues in Derbyshire include Shottle Hall, Thornbridge Hall and Donington Park Farmhouse, and our wedding DJs travel to weddings across Derby, Chesterfield and Matlock. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose a DJ that suits the room. Other venues in the area include Tissington Hall, Callow Hall and The West Mill, and each has its own venue page further down.

Most wedding DJs will ask for your must-play and do-not-play lists before the day, then read the room from there. A good DJ can move from the first dance to older classics for the grandparents and on to current hits, without losing the dance floor.

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

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £400 to £1,200, depending on the package, how long they play and the date
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included
  • DJ-and-sax and singing DJ packages available
  • Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to enquire early
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind 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.

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.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the wedding. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

“Both Simon and Konrad the saxophonist were brilliant and it was everything we wanted and more. We had so many people say they’ve never experienced anything like that at a wedding and everyone had such a great time. Thank you!”

“Stuart was amazing, arrived in good time albeit we were running late, he set up and played the music we requested and got everyone involved which was awesome. Our guests have been telling us what a great time they had at the reception and that Stuart really made it a party.
Our dealings with Lisa at Hireaband have been nothing short of excellent. She’s been informative, sent us reminders on the lead up to the day and made sure we were happy with everything at each stage.
Thank you all for making our day complete!”

“The team at All Night Long were simply amazing at our charity gala! We wanted a mix of elegant background music and something to get the crowd going later in the evening, and they delivered perfectly. The saxophonist played beautifully during dinner, setting the perfect tone, and once the dancing started, the whole room was buzzing. The way Mitch timed the change from soft background music to upbeat party tracks was seamless. Everything was so well organised, and we really appreciated the effort in making the evening run smoothly. I’d highly recommend them for any event, large or small!”

“Absolutely Fantastic! We booked All Night Long for a corporate event held at Wyboston Lakes and everyone who attended thoroughly enjoyed it! A great mix of music, talented musicians and brilliant singers. Booking was effortless and very well organised. We couldn't have asked for more. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend for large scale events or smaller gatherings. Thank you again for providing us with such an enjoyable evening!”

“We are so incredibly grateful for how fantastic Mitch was performing DJ/percussion at our wedding evening. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to kick the party off! The guests absolutely loved the DJ/percussion combo and are all still talking about it! Mitch brought such fun and energy to the evening and it exceeded our expectations in every way! He was so personable and patient with alcohol fuelled guests and we honestly couldn’t have hoped for anyone better! Mitch is fabulously talented and we hope we have an occasion where we can have him join us again! I would 100% recommend, fantastic service from the initial enquiry through to the big day. We can’t thank you enough, Mitch.”

“We had the best day ever for our wedding party and Mitch played a big part in that. He read the room, got the vibe right and had everyone dancing all night. The percussion sets made everything feel a bit more bout and special. And he was flexible when we made a couple of questionable music requests too :D Definitely recommended All Night Long for parties and weddings.”
