Wollongong and the Illawarra
Photography: KJ Images
We look after the music and the moments for Wollongong weddings: ceremony music, your DJ, an MC, the Social Booth and a few dancefloor extras, booked with one team on one quote.
A five-hour DJ and MC is $1,800 inc GST, or $2,100 with Dan Searle guaranteed as your DJ, and you can add ceremony music, the photobooth and effects to the same booking.
We're based in Kiama Downs, and travel is free for venues between Stanwell Tops and Nowra, which takes in Wollongong.
Here is the day in order, with the price in plain numbers. Book one piece or several. The quote stays itemised either way. Behind the decks for over 25 years, playing weddings since 2010.
Ceremony music is $450 and covers the PA plus up to 3 hours of music, from the ceremony through to the reception. That includes walking in, the signing and walking out. Tell us where the ceremony and reception are happening and we plan that setup with the quote. The detail sits with our wedding DJ packages.
A five-hour DJ starts at $1,500 inc GST. You get live mixing, sound, dancefloor lighting and Our Set for must-plays and do-not-plays. Signature is $1,800 and guarantees Dan Searle as your DJ. Venues and the Wollongong package notes live on our Wollongong wedding DJ page.
An MC looks after welcomes, entrances, speeches and getting you onto the dancefloor. Your MC will be Dan Searle or Bryan Hill. Adding MC means Dan or Bryan looks after your night. If a friend or family member is MCing, we support them. Read the duties on our wedding MC page.
The Social Booth is an open-air digital booth: photos, GIFs and Boomerangs, instant sharing by text, AirDrop or email, a custom overlay and a private gallery link. It is $250 with a DJ package, or $500 on its own. Unlimited prints and a guestbook are $250, a video guestbook is $100, backdrops are $100 each and props are $50. The Social Booth page has the booth by itself.
Dancing on a Cloud is $400, a low dry-ice effect for the first dance. Sparkulars start from $300 and need venue approval. Moving heads are $200. LED uplights are $200, and they are already included in Signature.
Here's how the pieces add up. All prices are inc GST, for five hours of DJ time, before extra hours.
| Gold | Signature (Dan guaranteed) | |
|---|---|---|
| DJ + MC | $1,800 inc GST | $2,100 inc GST |
| DJ + MC + ceremony music | $2,250 inc GST | $2,550 inc GST |
| DJ + MC + ceremony music + Social Booth | $2,500 inc GST | $2,800 inc GST |
With MC, Dan Searle or Bryan Hill looks after your night.
An extra hour is $150. Dancing on a Cloud is $400. Travel is free from Stanwell Tops to Nowra. A $300 deposit secures the date, and full payment is due 7 days before.
One team looks after the music, the mic and the booth. Your MC is Dan Searle or Bryan Hill, and your music, timeline and notes sit in one place in Our Set. You brief fewer suppliers, and you get one quote instead of three.
The practical difference is who you are briefing. Song choices, the order of speeches, and where the booth sits all come back to one conversation. If the first dance needs Dancing on a Cloud, that effect is on the same quote as the DJ.
The two reviews below describe more than a dancefloor. One night covered the DJ, the MC and the booth. The other covered ceremony music, cocktail hour and the reception.
“He didn’t just DJ he MC’d the whole night and even ran the photobooth, and somehow it all cost less than the DJs back near home.”
“Dan managed our ceremony music, cocktail hour and reception music, and it was all perfect.”
Mandy and Marcus married at Headlands Hotel in Austinmer on 19 December 2025. The dancefloor leaned '90s and '00s Eurodance, and it kept going. Photos by Better Together Photo Co. Mandy & Marcus's Headlands Hotel wedding tells that night, and see the Wollongong venues we know for the four venue guides.
The info pack lists each piece on its own line, so you can see the DJ, the MC, ceremony music, the booth and any effects before you pay the deposit. Nothing on that list is compulsory. You can add a piece later if the date is still free. If the plan changes before the wedding, call or message us and we will update the quote for you.
