Evening Wedding DJ Package | 5 Hours | From £450

Our Evening Package To Kickstart Your Night

 

Our Evening Wedding DJ Package is a 5-hour evening reception service with premium sound, lighting, first dance hosting and planning support - from £450 (Sun–Fri) or £550 (Saturdays). This package is built for couples who want a packed dancefloor, great transitions, and a soundtrack that matches the vibe of the room.

Before the wedding, we’ll agree your must-plays, your “absolutely not” list, and the overall direction (from modern chart and club to disco, indie, 90s/00s and singalongs). On the night, we’ll read the room in real time and keep the momentum moving naturally - without sudden genre jumps or “cheesy” moments you didn’t ask for.

You’ll get a premium sound system, an elegant lighting setup, and a professional DJ who knows how to guide the night confidently around key moments like your first dance and cake cut. We are experienced wedding DJs, fully insured and PAT-tested, used to working with venues and coordinators.

 

Who This Package Is Best For

 

Best for couples who want a modern mix (current hits + classics), a clean-looking setup, and a DJ who can build the night properly - from first dance into a full dancefloor.
Expect confident hosting (no awkward mic work), smooth transitions, and music that stays true to your taste.

  • 5 hours evening DJ (typical 7pm–12am)

Typical Evening Timeline

 

  • Guest arrivals / evening food: warm-up music that suits the room and keeps the atmosphere upbeat

  • First dance: we’ll introduce it (as subtly or as formally as you prefer) and set the tone

  • Early dancefloor: a confident build - nothing “too much, too soon”

  • Peak floor: your biggest tracks, singalongs and hands-in-the-air moments at the right time

  • Final 15 minutes: an intentional finish - last songs that feel like a proper send-off

If you have a coordinator, band, sax player or venue host, we’ll align cues so transitions feel smooth.

Music, Requests & “Do Not Play”

 

You’re in control of the direction - we’ll handle the flow. Ahead of the wedding, you can share:

  • must-play tracks

  • favourite genres/eras

  • a “do not play” list

  • any family-friendly boundaries

  • Planning consultation + WhatsApp planning group

On the night, we take requests when they fit your brief and keep the dancefloor moving. The goal is a set that feels tailored, not random.

Evening Package FAQs

What is included in your evening wedding DJ package?

Our Evening Package includes a professional wedding DJ, a premium sound system, programmed lighting, a DJ booth (black or white), planning support before the wedding, hosting for key moments (like first dance and cake cut), and a wireless microphone for announcements.

How many hours is your evening wedding DJ package?

The standard package includes 5-hour performance for a typical evening reception DJ set. Most couples book us for something like 7pm–12am or 8pm–1am, depending on venue finish times. Extra hours can be added in advance.

How much does an evening wedding DJ cost at MHX?

Evening wedding DJ pricing depends on date, venue logistics and production requirements. Our Evening Package starts from £450 Sunday–Friday and £550 on Saturdays, with optional upgrades available.

Can you provide music for evening guests arriving before the first dance?

Yes. We can play background or warm-up music as guests arrive, then shift smoothly into the first dance and build the party naturally.

Do you announce the first dance and cake cutting?

Yes. We can host the first dance and cake cut in a polished way (or keep it minimal if you prefer). We’ll coordinate timings with you and the venue on the day.

Can we choose the vibe (e.g., disco/house/00s)?

Absolutely. You can share must-plays, favourite genres/eras, and a do-not-play list. We use this to keep the night aligned with your taste and avoid unwanted tracks.

Do you take requests on the night?

Yes, if you’re happy for us to. We’ll take requests that fit your brief and your “do not play” rules, and we’ll prioritise what keeps the dancefloor moving.

Is your music family-friendly / clean edits for weddings?

Yes. If you want a family-friendly policy, we’ll use clean versions where possible and avoid explicit content. You can set boundaries in advance.

What time do you arrive / how long do you need to set up?

We usually arrive with enough time for a calm, discreet setup. Setup time depends on access and the size of the package, but we’ll confirm everything with your venue in advance so you’re not chasing timings.

What space and power do you need for a wedding DJ setup?

Most evening setups need a clear performance area plus a nearby power supply. We’ll confirm the space requirements based on your booth choice and venue layout.

Do you work with venue sound limiters and curfews?

Yes. If your venue has a sound limiter, we’ll plan around it and keep things running smoothly. We also work to venue curfews and agreed finish times.

Can you DJ in barns, marquees and countryside wedding venues?

Yes. We regularly work in barns, marquees and rural venues. We’ll confirm power, access, and any coverage needs for larger or open spaces.

Do you provide microphones for speeches and announcements?

Yes. A wireless microphone can be included for key announcements (and we can supply additional mic support where needed).

Are you insured and PAT-tested for wedding venues?

Yes. We carry public liability insurance and our equipment is PAT-tested, which many venues require.

PAT & Insurances

What happens if your DJ is ill or there’s an emergency?

We plan for reliability. If an emergency ever occurred, we have contingency options to ensure you’re covered (details can be confirmed at booking).

Can you combine your evening DJ package with add-ons like extra lighting or uplighting?

Yes. You can add upgraded lighting, room uplighting and other enhancements depending on your venue and the look you want.
