How to Choose the Right Wedding DJ in Perth (Without the Stress)
So you’ve locked in your venue and now the real fun begins - figuring out how to make your wedding feel like you. And somewhere between picking flowers and arguing over table layouts, someone says:
“Hey… have you booked a DJ yet?”
Cue the scroll through Google. Pages of DJs. All promising “unforgettable nights” and “vibes for days.” But how do you actually know who’s right for you?
As a full-time wedding DJ & MC here in Perth, let me give you a few real-world pointers from behind the decks.
Don’t Just Look at the Gear - Look at the Vibe
Yes, good sound and lighting matter. But the person behind the booth? That’s who’s setting the tone all night. The right DJ reads the room, lifts energy when needed, and knows when to let a moment breathe. You want someone who “gets” your crowd - not just someone with big speakers.
Find a DJ Who Can MC (and Actually Knows What They’re Doing)
This one’s big. A DJ who can also MC smoothly means fewer vendors to juggle, and way less chance of awkward silences or mistimed entrances. The best MCs keep it light, keep things moving, and make your guests feel relaxed - but also subtly in control of the flow behind the scenes.
Go With Someone Who Gets You
Whether you're planning an intimate garden vibe or a full dance floor rager, your DJ should be on your wavelength. Do they listen to what you want? Are they adaptable? Do they offer suggestions without taking over? It should feel like collaborating with a mate who knows music inside out.
Check Real Reviews (Not Just the Flashy Ones)
Look for couples who describe the experience, not just the outcome. Did they feel taken care of? Did the DJ make the night easier for them? Good testimonials often mention things like energy, professionalism, flexibility - and how smoothly the night flowed.
Trust Your Gut
Sometimes it's just a vibe. You hop on a call or swap a few emails and think, “Yep - this person gets it.” That gut feeling? It's usually spot on.
Next Steps…
If you're still early in the planning journey, it’s totally normal to feel overwhelmed. You don’t need to have all the answers right now. But if you’re after someone who’s chilled, experienced, and genuinely loves helping couples have their best night ever, I’d love to hear about your plans.
Let’s chat and see if we’re a good fit. No pressure - just good convos, good music, and good vibes.
