“We had James DJ for my 30th birthday party at a venue in Richmond. He was fantastic to deal with and we really appreciated how he took the time beforehand to understand our music preferences and vibe.

FAQ

We love making people dance and creating moments in time where people forget about their day job and the stresses that come with life and just live in the moment.

We started with a love for DJing, music and technology.
Music can brighten up your day, give you something to relate to and make you stomp your feet.

We can guarantee our clients will be 100% satisfied, communication before the event will be clear, we will be thoughtful, tidy and organised.
We have tested and tagged high-quality equipment, all the right music and plenty of experience.

Fully vaccinated DJs, social distancing and mask-wearing (if required).

When it comes to planning a wedding, one of the most important aspects is finding the right DJ. A good DJ will keep your guests entertained and dancing all night long. The music at a wedding is often what people remember most about the evening, so you need to make sure that you have hired someone who can create an atmosphere that will make everyone feel like they're at their own party. It also helps if you can meet with your DJ before booking them as you can discuss their experience and style together.

If you are planning a summer or major holiday wedding, you will want to book your DJ as soon as possible. If you do not book early, it is likely that the DJ who is available on your wedding day will be less experienced and more expensive than one who could have been booked if you had waited until all other details of your wedding were settled.

  • In many cases, you should be able to meet your DJ before booking.
  • If you have a specific song in mind for the first dance, or an idea of what kind of music you want playing during dinner and at the reception in general, it can help to make sure these requests get communicated to your potential DJs so they don't stumble upon a surprise when they play that particular track.
  • You may also want to check references from past clients if possible; this will give you an idea of how well each DJ works under pressure and whether or not they're prone to showing up late or leaving early without asking permission first.

When you're shopping around for your DJ, it's important to get quotes from at least three different DJs--preferably more. The more quotes you receive, the better idea you'll have of what type of service is out there and what price point makes sense for your event. Here are some things to look for when comparing DJ quotes:

  • Pricing: Does the quote include everything? Is there an hourly rate? Do they charge travel fees or overtime fees?
  • Services included: Are all services (mics, lights, sound equipment) included in the price quoted? If not, how much would that cost extra?
  • Experience level: What experience level does this DJ have? How many weddings/events has he/she done before yours and how far in advance does he/she book ahead of time so that he/she can make sure everything runs smoothly on your big day!

It is important that the DJ is willing to talk about their past experience and DJing style with you before booking. If you want a DJ that plays songs from the 80s, it is important for them to be able to play songs from that time period. The same goes for other music genres. It’s also helpful if your potential DJ is familiar with the type of event or venue where you plan on having them perform at your event.

We allow our customers to make playlists of their favorite songs that can be used during the wedding. This is a great way for you and your partner to enjoy music that you like, but it also means that you will have more control over the music being played at your event. If you want something specific to happen in the ceremony, speak with the DJ about it beforehand so they know exactly what you want!

A good DJ can set the tone for your entire reception, so it is important to hire one wisely. A great DJ will be able to play a wide variety of music and should be able to work with you to create the perfect playlist. They should be easy to get along with and respectable and be able to match the music with your wedding theme and decor, so that everyone has a good time at your reception.

In conclusion, it is important to find a DJ who is right for you and your wedding. You want to make sure that they understand the type of music you like, and that they will be able to provide exactly what you want at your reception. When choosing a DJ, make sure they have experience in this field because it can make or break your big day!

James from Gia Events was a pleasure to deal with, acting with professionalism and being very communicative throughout the process from booking, right through to checking in after our wedding. We appreciated his attention to detail in the lead up to the event and being proactive to download music ahead of time when our venue had limited reception. James played almost all the songs we had requested in advance and balanced this with reading the crowd and playing the classics guaranteed to keep the dance floor going.

James brought the vibes, read the room and had everybody up and about until the very last song on our wedding day. All ages were catered for with an artful mix of beats, bangers, golden oldies and just enough song requests to get the crowd involved without letting them take over. He was professional, responsive and supportive when it came to our questions and ideas. He was also proactive in communicating with our venue manager and went above and beyond to organise a site visit to suss out what he needed so everything would run smoothly on the day. He took that weight off our shoulders and gave us total confidence he’d nail it. And that he did! We can’t thank James enough for creating the soundtrack to our ultimate love party.

Hi Dani & Adam, Thanks again for having me DJ your wedding! It was an absolute pleasure to DJ for you and your guests. I wish you both all the best with your future and hope to hear from you again soon! Regards, James.

We are so happy James DJ’d our wedding! Communication right from the very beginning was very easy, we had a meeting to get to know each other and to learn about our music preferences and James instantly knew what we were after. Leading up to the big day, James ensured we had a clear plan for the night and played the best tunes all night, reading the crowd and knowing exactly what songs to play to keep the dance floor packed all night! Super funky tunes that everyone loved. We can’t think him enough!
