We take the time to learn your unique tastes and co-create your vision
We love music and we live to entertain.
It is a privilege for us to join you and your guests and enjoy creating unforgettable moments.
All Avid Entertainment DJs would be classified as open format.
This means they have the music knowledge and skills to play ANY genre of music to ANYONE.
It takes a special type of DJ to play a wedding. Don’t risk your special night with friends cousin who only knows how to play club bangers and music they like.
Our DJs are able to build a dancefloor that will cater to guests of all ages and bring them together for a night they wont forget!
Prior to the event, you will chat with the DJ/MC so that they can better get to know you, your guests and your event.
On the night your DJ will also fulfil MC duties, including…
Unfortunately he cant be in all places at once!
With 15 years of DJ experience, Nick has done it all…
Of course you can! Our booking system will capture all your music preferences as well as specific song requests for those special moments throughout the night. The more information you give us the better so that we can best know your tastes and assign a Wedding DJ who shares them.
We recommend creating two lists of songs in the lead up to your wedding. One for dinner and mingling and another list of must-play songs you LOVE to dance to.
We sure can! Our Wedding DJs are all open format and can mix pretty much anything into anything else. The DJ will have access to tens of thousands of songs at their fingertips.
That said, the DJ will make choices based on the time of night, who is on the dancefloor and your prior instructions. If the latest dubstep banger is requested by your 9 year old nephew during dinner it might kill the mood a little.
It is often helpful to have a “do not play” list of songs you DON’T want played at your wedding so that the Wedding DJ knows not to play them. If you cannot stand the sound of AC/DC or do not want to Nutbush… Pop it on the list because people will request it.
Early in the night and over dinner the Wedding DJ will play softer music at a lower volume to create atmosphere. You might not really even notice it but you may notice an awkward silence if it wasn’t there.
The Wedding DJ will be able to adapt the set up to pretty much any space. However, it is best to allow for 2.5m x 2.5m to set up. It is also a good idea to be wary of table settings and who will be placed near the DJ if they are sensitive to music.
It is required that you provide the Wedding DJ with a service meal. If there are any dietary requirements, we will inform you 2 months before hand.
Apart from that, we just require access to a power point and we will do the rest.
Basics announcements is when someone asks the Wedding DJ to pick up the mic and announce something. For example “hey everyone, the bar is calling last drinks”. MC-ing, on the other hand, is pre-planned. The DJ has an extra responsibility of guiding the night. For example: covering off any house keeping instructions as people arrive, introducing people to come up and speak, announcing the cake/first dance etc.
With the MC services the DJ would chat with you on the phone before hand and you would collaborate on the script/run sheet.
There are not as many DJ’s this comfortable with public speaking, and so this service is subject to availability and worth booking in sooner rather than later.
The Wedding DJ will arrive 45 minutes to an hour early to set up for the performance. This allows for enough time to have it all ready and be changed into formal clothes before the guests arrive.
This is outside of the performance time, as is pack down.
Fill out the enquiry form above and an Avid representative will get in touch with you to check the availability of your date and answer any questions you may have. When you’re ready to book, we just require a 20% non refundable deposit to secure the date. The balance is due the week of the event.

Once the date is secured, you will get a confirmation email containing our booking form.
It is then time to start thinking about your music. We suggest creating some spotify playlists you can build over the months in the lead up to your wedding.
We do not simply hit play on spotify. We will use your playlists to get to know your tastes and prep the files which we will seamlessly mix together on the day.
In the mean time, we are there to help guide you through the planning process, answering any questions you might have and providing expert advice based on over a decade of experience.
Two weeks prior to your date, you will complete your booking form. This captures everything we need including a finalised runsheet, your song selections (e.g. first dance, cake cutting) your favourite music and even your least favourite music.
We will then begin preparing everything for your big day.
Finally, we will have a meeting the week of the event to touch base and bring it all together.
