Answered honestly.

Married to the Groove is run by founder and director Josh, who expanded the team with six incredibly talented artists, each with over ten years behind the decks. You'll know exactly who your DJ is from the start, and we will never switch DJs on you. Want to hear them first? There's a mix from every DJ on the Mixes page. No matter who you pick, the night is going to be fantastic.

Each DJ sets their own rate. Reception coverage (up to 5 hours) runs $2,450 to $3,850 depending on your DJ, All Day coverage (up to 7 hours) runs $3,350 to $4,750, and extras stack on top with a discount for each one you add. Enquire once and the full price guide, every DJ's exact rate, every extra, unlocks on the website instantly. No waiting for a quote email.

Rates reflect each DJ's experience and demand. What never changes is the standard: every DJ runs the same setup, follows the same music brief process, and plans the night with Josh. The most affordable DJ on the roster still delivers a Married to the Groove wedding.

Accept your quote and pay a $1,000 deposit. That's it, your DJ and date are locked. The remaining balance is due one month before your wedding.

Yes, on request. If it's easier to spread the balance out over the lead-up rather than pay it in one hit, just ask and we'll set one up.

The deposit isn't refundable if you cancel, but it doesn't vanish either: you can transfer it in full to a new date, subject to your DJ's availability on that date.

Yes, that's the whole point. Before the day, we do a music consultation call. You share a must-play list, a do-not-play list, and optionally a Spotify playlist for vibe reference. We build the set around it, then adapt on the night based on what the floor is actually responding to.

We love house and disco, but we can throw down a solid pop, R&B, or indie set too. We mix through genres and decades to match the energy of the dancefloor. More dance music, less pub rock.

Yes, available as an add-on. That includes runsheet planning, on-night coordination with your venue, photographer, and other vendors, and hosting the reception. Announcements, managing timing, keeping the night moving. Most couples book DJ and MC together for a smoother night.

Every booking includes a custom-built plywood DJ booth and a PA system suitable for up to 150 guests indoors or 100 outdoors. We cover both ceremony and reception DJing. MC service, lighting (neon tubes, moving heads, haze machine), and a live set recording are available as add-ons.

The standard system covers up to 150 guests indoors or 100 outdoors. Beyond that we'll arrange larger sound reinforcement for your venue and quote it with your booking, just mention your numbers when you get in touch.

Yes. Most Victorian venues (including the Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula) are covered without a travel surcharge. For distances that require an overnight stay, travel costs apply and we'll quote those upfront. Interstate and overseas is possible depending on timing, just ask.

Most couples book 12–18 months out. Spring and early summer (October through December) fills fastest. If your date is within 6 months, it's still worth checking. There are sometimes gaps. If you're unsure, enquiring doesn't lock you in to anything.

Yes. Professional-grade equipment, spare hard drives to run music off, and a backup microphone on the night. We've never had a night go dark, and we intend to keep it that way.

Absolutely. Send through a list of the cultural songs you want, and we'll work out the format together: either a dedicated block (usually 15–20 minutes) or sprinkled through the night. What works best depends on your crowd and the vibe you're going for.

One honest note: if you're after someone with deep expertise in a specific culture's music, or want more than about half an hour of it, we're probably not the right fit. Better to be upfront about that than to overpromise.

Of course. If you've got a quick question, send Josh a note. If you'd rather talk it through, book a call using the link at the bottom of this page. And whichever DJ you book, your music planning call is always with Josh.
