What does a wedding DJ do on the day?

Most set up during the meal, play the first dance and then run the evening, taking requests and keeping the dance floor busy. Many also make announcements for the cake, the first dance and the last song.

Can we give the DJ a playlist?

Yes. Most wedding DJs ask for a must-play and a do-not-play list before the day, then use their experience to fill the rest of the evening around it.

Do wedding DJs in Swansea bring their own lighting?

Most bring a sound system and dance-floor lighting, and many have a DJ booth that suits a formal room. Check each DJ's page, and tell us the venue in Swansea so we can confirm what fits.

Can a DJ work with a sound limiter at a venue in Swansea?

Yes. Experienced wedding DJs work with sound limiters regularly. Let us know if your venue in Swansea has one so the DJ can plan the set-up.

How much does a wedding DJ cost?

Typically £400 to £1,200, depending on the package, how long they play and the date. Your quote shows exactly what's included.

Can a DJ play after a live band?

Yes. Many couples book a band for the main part of the evening and a DJ to play between sets and after the band finishes.

Hire a wedding DJ in Swansea

A good wedding DJ does far more than play songs. In Swansea, 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 Swansea include Fairyhill, Craig y Nos Castle and Brangwyn Hall, and our wedding DJs travel to weddings across Swansea, Mumbles and Neath. 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 King Arthur Hotel, Parc Le Breos House and Sketty Hall, and each has its own venue page further down.

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.

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.
