Wedding DJs in Newcastle upon Tyne

Wedding DJs for your evening reception in Newcastle upon Tyne

The right DJ can make an evening reception. In Newcastle upon Tyne, 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.

Across Newcastle upon Tyne, wedding DJs are booked for receptions in and around Newcastle and Gateshead. Venues in the area include Newcastle Civic Centre, Matfen Hall and Close House, each with its own evening reception space. You'll find more Newcastle upon Tyne venues below, including The Biscuit Factory, Jesmond Dene House and Wylam Brewery, 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.

We've been booking wedding DJs and bands since 1999, and every DJ on this page covers Newcastle upon Tyne. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

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.

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.

Every DJ's page has photos and video of their set-up, along with reviews from couples who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the look before you commit.
