Wedding DJs in Durham

Book a wedding DJ in Durham

A good wedding DJ does far more than play songs. In Durham, wedding DJs look after the first dance, read the room as the evening goes on and keep the dance floor full until the last song, with a sound and lighting set-up that suits the venue.

Popular wedding venues in Durham include Hardwick Hall Hotel, Black Horse Beamish and Ramside Hall Hotel, and our wedding DJs travel to weddings across Durham, Darlington and Bishop Auckland. 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 South Causey Inn, Bradbury Glade and Lumley Castle, and each has its own venue page further down.

A wedding DJ brings more than music. Most provide their own sound system and dance-floor lighting, many offer a DJ booth that suits a formal room, and some add extras such as a live sax or percussion for the busiest part of the night.

Hireaband has been booking wedding entertainment since 1999. Every DJ listed here travels to Durham as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

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.

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.

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.

“Not had chance to say thank you as we jetted straight off to Thailand the next day but we are back now! Just wanted to pass on our appreciation for a fantastic evening, it was a wonderful performance from the moment you arrived right through to the final song, I lost count of the amount of people who commented on how good you were and asking where we had found you! Thanks again and I will certainly be posting a reference up on Hireaband in the next couple of days. Oh and the pics/video were a wonderful touch, our friends and family have loved seeing them and they have given us some lovely memories ahead of receiving our day shots from the photographer. Our appreciation once again,”
