Specialist wedding DJ since 2004 · Nottingham Road, KZN Midlands & Durban
Not a nightclub DJ, not a karaoke DJ. A wedding DJ. That’s all I do.
I’m Steve. I’ve been DJing KZN weddings for 20 years. There’s a thing wedding DJs do where they tell you about every piece of gear they own. I’m not going to. What you actually want to know is whether I’ll read your room, play what your aunt and your cousin both want to dance to, and not embarrass anyone with the microphone. After more than 1,000 weddings, that’s the part I’ve got down.
A wedding is nothing like a nightclub or a corporate event, and the difference is in the details: clear sound for your ceremony and speeches, the right atmosphere from canapés through dinner, and a dance floor that builds rather than stalls. I take the time to understand your taste, your crowd and the kind of night you want. Requests are always welcome, and when plans change on the day, I adapt without anyone noticing.

The full wedding DJ package
My standard Wedding DJ package covers up to 10 hours of DJ service (before midnight, with additional hours available on request). It’s designed for couples who want a completely seamless, stress-free, and high-energy celebration, from the first guest arrival to the final song of the night.
Ceremony & Canapés
I provide full sound support for your wedding ceremony, including cordless Shure microphones for your officiant and anyone giving readings or speeches. We will chat through your ceremony music in detail, from whether you and your bridesmaids walk in to the same song or different ones, to choosing something special for your flower girls or beer boys.
After the ceremony, I keep the music flowing through canapés and pre-drinks with relaxed background music that sets the tone while your guests mingle and enjoy cocktails.
- • JBL Pro sound
- • Shure cordless microphones
- • Background music as your guests arrive

Photos print instantly with your custom layout, and you receive all the digital images afterwards. It is a great icebreaker during the quieter parts of the evening and adds an extra element of entertainment that guests of all ages enjoy.

Good to know
The questions couples ask first
How far in advance should we book you?
At any given time, I have bookings up to 18 months in advance. If you book 12 months ahead, there’s a good chance I’ll be available for your wedding date. However, don’t hesitate to reach out even if your wedding is sooner, I may still have availability!
Will the DJ I book actually play at my wedding?
Yes! If you book me, I will play at your wedding. This is my commitment to you.
However, we know there are no guarantees in life (just look at 2020!). In the unlikely event of unforeseen circumstances, I have a network of professional DJs I can rely on to ensure your day goes perfectly.
Do you travel to the Drakensberg?
Yes! I regularly DJ at weddings in the Drakensberg area including Underberg, Cathedral Peak, Champagne Valley, and surrounding venues. Travel fees apply based on distance from Durban. The mountain scenery makes for incredible wedding celebrations!
Can you do outdoor ceremonies?
Absolutely! I’ve invested in a battery-powered PA system specifically for outdoor and forest ceremonies. My system runs for up to 3 hours without electricity, perfect for bush chapels, garden ceremonies, and scenic outdoor locations.
Is dance floor lighting included in your quote?
Yes, dance floor lighting is included in all my quotes. It’s an essential part of creating the right atmosphere!
