Hi, I'm Josh.

I remember planning my own wedding and how annoying it was to have to enquire just to get a quote. That's not how I run things. I like making it easy, so every detail and every price is right here. Every package on this page is me behind the decks. And if I'm already booked on your date, I've got a small team I'd trust with my own wedding, more on them at the bottom.

My sound

Get to know my style in 25 minutes.

The best way to work out if I'm your DJ is to watch this. It's a 25 minute set filmed live, and it plays almost like a mini wedding: it opens with the all-ages crowd pleasers, the '80s tracks everyone knows, and builds through the night the way a real dancefloor does. Turn the sound on and see where it goes.

My setup

The rig that set the standard.

No trestle table with a black cloth over it. I bring a custom-built booth and a speaker system that looks as good as it sounds, the setup venues keep telling me is a step up from what they usually see.

  • Custom white DJ booth
  • High-powered white speaker system
  • Wireless microphone

Lighting

Light up the floor.

Every dancefloor gets better with light. Two ways I do it:

  • Dancefloor tube lighting: eight large neon tubes framing the floor
  • Full lighting package: the tubes plus two moving heads and haze for a proper club-grade dancefloor (venue permitting)

Extras, if you want them

A quick note from me about lighting and MC, the two things couples most often add once the planning gets real. No pressure either way.

5 months out

Runsheet planning

If I'm your MC, we sit down and map out the night together so nothing gets missed.

4 months out

Music questionnaire

Must-plays, do-not-plays, first dance, and a vibe list for the feel you want on the floor. This becomes the brief I build the night around.

3 months out

I send a checklist of everything to have sorted and a link to book our music planning call. The final balance is due a month out and the reminder arrives automatically.

About 6 weeks out

Music planning call

Your dancefloor, recorded live, lands in your inbox.

Why Married to the Groove

I'm not the cheapest DJ in Melbourne.

Ask your venue or any of your other vendors and they'll tell you: entertainment is the one area of the wedding industry that's lacking the most. I've spent over a decade getting the music, the gear and the process right, so you know you're going to get an amazing dancefloor. I know I'm not the cheapest. I also know I'm way better than the average wedding DJ.

A DJ who actually DJs

I properly mix and read the floor live. "Read the room" appears in my reviews more than 25 times, because it's the whole job.

A setup venues rave about

Custom booth, white speaker rig, tube lighting. "A huge step up from the standard trestle table look" is how Coombe Yarra Valley put it.

Your DJ is your DJ

Book me and you get me. If I'm already taken, you'll know exactly which of my team you're getting from day one, and nobody gets switched on you.

A process that carries you

A music planning call with me, a proper music brief, and a runsheet system I've refined over hundreds of weddings. You're never left wondering what's next.

Real nights

Every dancefloor is different. The energy isn't.

Amanda Alessi

"Drew and I love house music and really didn't want the usual cringe wedding music playing throughout the night. He honestly brought all our EDM club vibes to life. We said the dirtier the better and he delivered."

"I seriously wanted to live, die and be buried on the dance-floor he helped us create. I haven't danced that hard and continuously in such a long time. He delivered exactly what he promised and more."

"We lost count of how many people told us it was the best wedding dance floor they'd ever experienced. Our only regret? That the night couldn't last longer!"

"The crowd DID.NOT.STOP.DANCING!!! They even paid him extra to keep going. I can't wait to work with him again and I'm kicking myself I didn't book him for my own wedding."

"All of our guests said that was the best wedding dance floor they've ever experienced which was one of my biggest hopes for the day. I couldn't walk for 5 days after because my calves literally felt like they ripped off the bone from dancing so hard."

"Their setup is world-class — with modern decks and tube lighting that truly set the scene, a huge step up from the standard trestle table look. The dancefloor is always packed, the energy is high, and the vibes are unmatched."

Associate DJs.

I play 70 to 80 weddings a year, so if I'm already taken on your date you're not out of luck. I've handpicked a small crew of DJs I'd trust with my own wedding, each with over ten years behind the decks, running the same booth, the same rig, the same planning process with me, and the same never-switch promise. Listen to a mix and you'll hear why.
