Wedding DJs in Kent

Wedding DJs for your evening reception in Kent

For many couples, the evening reception is where the wedding really becomes a party. Across Kent, wedding DJs are booked to take over after the meal or after the band, playing everything from the first dance to the floor-fillers that bring every generation onto the dance floor.

Popular wedding venues in Kent include Port Lympne, Leeds Castle and St Julian's Club, and our wedding DJs travel to weddings across Canterbury, Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose a DJ that suits the room. You'll find more Kent venues below, including Goodnestone Park, Hever Castle and The Old Kent Barn, each with its own page.

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.

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

The essentials:

  • Prices usually from £400 up to £1,200
  • Most DJs take your must-play and do-not-play lists
  • Many bring their own sound system and dance-floor lighting
  • The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included
  • 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking

A DJ on their own is the simplest and most flexible choice, playing any song in the original version. A DJ with a live saxophonist or percussionist adds a performance element that lifts the busiest part of the evening, and singing DJs combine live vocals with a full DJ set.

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.

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.

“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.”
