Wedding DJs in Manchester

Wedding DJs for your evening reception in Manchester

For many couples, the evening reception is where the wedding really becomes a party. Across Manchester, 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.

Manchester has a wide choice of wedding venues, from The Whitworth and The Principal / Kimpton Clocktower to Manchester Hall. Our DJs travel to towns across the area, including Manchester, Salford and Stockport, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. You'll find more Manchester venues below, including Ordsall Hall, The Midland Hotel and The Monastery Manchester, each with its own page.

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 Manchester, 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

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.

Prices usually start from around £400 and go up to £1,200 or so. 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. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare on the same basis.

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.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen a DJ, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day.
