Wedding DJs in York

Book a wedding DJ in York

A good wedding DJ does far more than play songs. In York, 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.

York has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Grays Court and Bedern Hall to Merchant Adventurers' Hall. Our DJs travel to towns across the area, including York, Selby and Tadcaster, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Other venues in the area include Barmby Field Barns, Middlethorpe Hall and The Grand, York, and each has its own venue page further down.

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 York 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.

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.

“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,”
