Your day.
Perfectly soundtracked.

Professional wedding DJ packages in Brisbane typically range from $1,200 to $2,800 depending on hours, services and inclusions. Our Essentials package starts at $1,200 for a 4-hour reception. Our Signature package at $1,900 includes cocktail hour and reception for up to 6 hours, plus dancefloor lighting. Our Full Day package at $2,800 includes up to 8 hours, customised uplighting and three planning sessions. Be cautious of DJs priced under $1,000 — at that level you are usually getting a playlist rather than a professional who mixes live and reads your crowd.

A Spotify playlist cannot read a crowd. A great wedding DJ adjusts the energy in real time — pulling forward a song that is working, holding back one that is not, building toward the dancefloor peak. A playlist plays whatever is next regardless of whether the room is full or empty. There is also the practical side: handling microphones for speeches, coordinating with your venue and other vendors, managing the timing of every formality. These are things a playlist simply cannot do.

We recommend booking as early as possible. Popular dates (especially Saturdays from March to November) can book out 12–18 months in advance. That said, we occasionally have last-minute availability, so it's always worth reaching out.

We're based in Brisbane and cover all of Southeast Queensland, including the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and everywhere in between. For venues more than an hour from Brisbane CBD, a small travel fee may apply. For destinations outside this area a custom quote can be prepared subject to distance and accommodation requirements.

Absolutely, guest requests are one of our favourite parts of the night. We handle them tactfully, weaving in requests that fit the vibe and energy of the dancefloor. During planning, you can also set a 'do not play' list.

In 15+ years, we've never missed an event. However, we have a trusted network of professional DJs across Brisbane who can step in as backup if something truly unexpected occurs.

Yes! We're happy to meet for a coffee in Brisbane, or we can do a video call, whatever works best for you. The free discovery call is a great first step, and we can arrange an in-person meeting from there.

Yes, everything is fully self-contained. We bring professional-grade sound systems, wireless microphones, and all cables and stands. For lighting packages, all uplights, controllers, and rigging are included.

Absolutely. Every booking includes access to our online music planning portal where you can add must-play songs, set a vibe for each part of the day, and list any songs you'd prefer we avoid.

A 20% deposit secures your date, with the balance due 14 days before your wedding. In the event of a cancellation, the deposit is non-refundable, but we'll always work with you if circumstances change.

Yes, this is something we pride ourselves on. We liaise directly with your venue coordinator, wedding planner, photographer, and videographer to ensure everyone is aligned on the timeline.

Everything! With over 15 years of experience, we've played it all: Top 40, pop, R&B, hip hop, classic hits from the 80s, 90s and 2000s, house, EDM, rock, jazz, chillout, cultural favourites like Italian and Greek, and everything in between. Every set is tailored to suit your style, your crowd, and your celebration.

Yes. River City Wedding DJ holds current public liability insurance, so you and your venue are covered. Many Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast venues require their vendors to carry public liability insurance before they can perform, and we have this covered as standard. We are happy to provide a certificate of currency on request.

River City Wedding DJ regularly services the Gold Coast and surrounding areas including Burleigh Heads, Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, Currumbin, Tamborine Mountain and everywhere in between.
