Wedding DJs Northern Ireland To Get Your Guests Up
Wedding DJs in Northern Ireland who have worked their magic. Sorry if I’ve left you out! In no particular order, I have been DJ’ing at a wedding. I was shooting either wedding photos or videos. This isn't a best-of list or anything like that, and you can find out more by visiting their websites. I’m sure most of these guys play as a wedding DJ in Belfast.

Wedding DJs Northern Ireland
Let’s look at some wedding DJs in Northern Ireland you should think about booking for your big day.
Music Matters
Music Matters DJ was booked as the couple’s wedding DJ in Lisburn and I must say he did a great job at Helen and Scott’s Wedding in Riverdale Barn. Visit the DJ’s website for more info. Casual shots of the guests were next at their tables before this wedding DJ in Northern Ireland Music Matters played their first dance at the Riverdale Barn, and soon afterwards, parents and some family members also joined in for the dancing. I always take a wide photo, taking in as much of the dancefloor as possible, then take medium type photos of the two dancing. If I need to I tap one of them on the shoulders to look at the camera.
From the Music Matters DJ website …at Music Matters, we know that not all wedding parties are the same. Unfortunately, the assumption that they are is a mistake that many of our competitors tend to make. What works for one crowd may not work for another, and contrary to what the other guys may tell you, there is no ‘magic playlist’ that will get all your guests on the dance floor…

DJ Terry Perry
The wedding DJ in Bangor was DJ Terry Perry, who got the bride, groom and guests up dancing until the wee hours of the morning. DJ Terry Perry started a little earlier than usual. If you have the budget for both, I’d consider booking a wedding DJ a little earlier, as the right DJ will keep your guests rocking until closing time.
Terry Perry played music from his large CD collection (very retro indeed!!) at Andrea and Thomas’s The Marine Court Hotel as they hit the dance floor for a fab first dance. I got some bride and groom photos in a couple of locations, including the bar. The DJ, Terry Perry, started the music at Andrea and Dean’s The Stables Groomsport Wedding and Andrea and her dad took to the dance floor. From wedding DJ Northern Ireland DJ Terry Perry’s website …with experienced DJ. We offer music for all occasions - weddings, engagements, Christmas parties, birthday parties, Halloween, formals, children's parties and christenings… I wish you a happy future together, and thanks for inviting me to your wedding day; it was a pleasure.

Looking for a Photographer for your evening Reception?
I’ve photographed many wedding DJs in various venues and love the music the DJ plays at the evening reception. The DJ starts his set when I finish, but some set up and play early until late so I get to photograph a little bit of the DJ. I’ve photographed a few DJs in the past, and you get all styles.
Let’s chat about your wedding reception photos with the DJ in full swing and everyone up dancing. What a way to end your wedding, with your guests up dancing.
I love the nighttime reception photos as the lights are turned off or dimmed, and nice gelled lighting is turned on, giving the photos a unique look and separating these styles of photos from earlier. Some also have a smoke machine, which is fantastic for photos. Great to see people loosen up.
DJ David Black
DJ David Black was the wedding DJ for this great couple’s evening reception in The Belfray Country Inn in Derry (Londonderry). The DJ was there earlier than usual. The DJ started with the usual bride and groom first dance, which I took a few photos of before asking the bridal party to join them. More photos were taken.
…as DJ David Black stepped up the music. All the best with your future; it was a pleasure working at your wedding…
From their website: A party to remember with professional DJ & compère David Black. 25 years of experience, industry-leading sound and lighting and of course, the very best party tracks make DJ David Black the right choice for your big day.

Booking a Wedding DJ
Things to consider when booking a DJ in Northern Ireland and some questions to ask. I want you to know that finding this out beforehand makes it easier to manage later on. Does the DJ have any experience? This is linked to expertise, so see below for more info. There are lots of DJs with expertise and lots without, which do you prefer?
Price and Style
What style of music does the DJ play, or does he have a playlist? Most DJs will work without one on your setlist, and this needs to be worked out before the wedding. More experienced DJs are most likely more expensive than less experienced DJs, but there is a reason for that: their experience. Experience and price are interlinked.
A DJ that caters more for local events can still, in theory, be booked for your wedding, which will cost a lot less because he doesn't advertise as just weddings. Unfortunately, most things seem to cost more once you say it’s for a wedding. Some DJs will charge for travel, some won’t. A DJ may not travel from one country to another; ask them first before booking. Usually, DJs play from about 10 pm - 1 am, but you could book a DJ from 8 pm - 1 am as it is a personal preference on what you want and can afford.
Others to consider
Other wedding DJs to consider, apart from all the above, are
Mark Brown Wedding DJ who serves Belfast and NI
Darren McGarry Wedding DJ
Gaz, who is the resident DJ at Orange Tree House
DJ Magiggs
