First Choice DJs – Wedding DJ & MC Booking – WA

My name is James. I am the owner of First Choice DJs, the number one wedding DJ & MC service in Western Australia!

I started First Choice DJs in 2014, originally in NSW.

Based in the beautiful Hawkesbury area, just north-west of Sydney, I was surrounded by dozens of popular wedding venues along the Hawkesbury River and throughout the Blue Mountains who were starving for a reliable, talented and professional DJ that they could recommend to their clients.

Having already had 18 years of prior DJ experience, I quickly became the preferred music vendor for every venue in the entire region!

Over time, I established a small team of experienced and passionate DJs and DJ/MCs and together we became one of the most popular and sought after DJ companies Sydney ever had.

Our success grew so large that it allowed me to expand the business interstate. In 2022, I moved to Western Australia and now offer my expert DJ and MC services to the good people of Perth, Mandurah and Southwest WA, while the rest of my team in NSW cover the Sydney, Hawkesbury and Blue Mountains region.

One of the advantages of using First Choice DJs for your wedding is that you get to communicate directly with your DJ in the lead up to the big day, which cuts out the possibility for miscommunication and also allows me to be flexible in meeting your specific needs.

I (James) began DJing at 14 years of age and now have over 25 years professional DJ experience!

I fit in the wedding DJ role like a hand in a glove and can honestly say that after so many years, and so many late nights, I am still just as passionate as ever. I love making my customer’s wedding night the funnest night of their life and have spent my entire life pursuing perfection in the wedding DJ role.

At age 20, I attended the United DJs Mixing School in Sydney, where I studied under some of the world’s top DJs and graduated top of the class.

I also studied Sound Engineering at the highest level possible in Australia (Advanced Diploma), leading to years of experience in live sound (overseeing both band and theatre productions) and over a decade of experience in studio recording and mixing.

Needless to say, when you book with me, you will get a DJ with the highest professional standards and a guaranteed night to remember!

Here is a description of what you would get if I (James) were to personally DJ your wedding:

My Wedding DJ service includes:

– 1 x fully qualified DJ with over 25 years of personal DJ experience
– Unlimited email and phone communication with the DJ leading up to the event
– 1 x optional face-to-face meeting with your DJ via Zoom
– A modern, computerised system with over 50,000 songs to choose from (all styles & genres including the current Top 40 – updated monthly)
– 1 x Professional DJ mixing console
– 2 x 15″ JBL G2 speakers on stands (these are among the best sounding speakers in the world!)
– 5 x multi-coloured, wedding-appropriate, disco lights on a lighting stand that will bring your dance floor to life!
– 1 x optional smoke machine (popular effect for the first dance)
– 1 x high-quality cordless microphone for the MC and speechmakers
– A “DJ Wedding Planner” form which allows you to easily make all the prior music requests necessary for a smooth, successful wedding
– Complete access to my song suggestion lists. (These are very handy if you need ideas of appropriate songs for any of the wedding formalities. I have created a list of great songs specific for each formality throughout the ENTIRE wedding day – both ceremony and reception.)

When you hire me to DJ at your wedding, you also have the option of having me professionally MC your wedding reception.

The MC is the person who lets all the guests know what is happening and when, who announces the bridal party into the room, who introduces each person doing a speech and who leads the bride and groom and guests in each of the formalities.

As the face and voice of the reception, the MC is the main person responsible for the overall vibe in the room. A competent MC can create an atmosphere that is relaxed and positive and can also get the guests excited about each formality as they take place.

Public speaking is not a natural skill for most people and choosing the right person to perform the MC role is important. A timid or nervous MC will make the guests feel uncomfortable while an MC who is softly spoken or low-energy will dampen the mood.

Having worked previously as a professional stage actor for over 5 years, (both in Australia and overseas), I have become very confident and comfortable with public speaking, which enables me to create a fun, relaxed atmosphere, but without making myself the centre of attention. When I MC a wedding, the night is all about the newlyweds!

Another important part of the MC’s role happens behind the scenes: The MC is the main person responsible for keeping things on time. A professional MC will always liaise with the bride and groom, the function manager, the DJ, the photographer, the videographer, and each person making a speech, to make sure they are all prepared for what is coming up next. This is essential to achieve a smooth flowing reception with minimal hiccups.

If you choose to have a guest perform the MC role, then you will be able to make use of my expertise by having me guide or coach your MC and make sure that he/she knows what to do and what to say.

Regardless of whether you have me or a guest perform the MC role, if you book me as your DJ, you will also gain access to my “MC Wedding Planner” form which will allow you to easily compile all the information needed by the MC to successfully perform the role. Using this form will make your wedding planning much easier and will also contribute significantly to a smooth flowing, stress free reception.

Our prices vary depending on the service required, the date, and location.

Please contact me via email or phone to get an exact quote for your specific wedding.

1. The date of your wedding

3. The location and timing of the ceremony, canapés, and reception
