Setup & Sound Check

Our standard setup takes 45 to 60 minutes. For the Heritage rustic rig, with its additional lighting, setup can take up to 90 minutes. We always arrive with enough time to be fully set up before your guests arrive. At barn venues with noise limiters, we check the threshold on arrival and set levels before anyone walks through the door.

Background & Atmosphere

Carefully chosen background music during the drinks reception. Warm and elegant — pitched to complement conversation, not compete with it.

Wedding Breakfast Music

A curated playlist through the wedding breakfast. Present enough to set the mood, unobtrusive enough to let guests enjoy their meal and each other.

Professional Announcements

Clear, confident announcements for introductions, first dance, cake cutting, and every other moment you have planned. We agree the exact wording with you in advance — nothing is improvised.

Your First Dance

Your song, played at the level you have chosen. If you have added Dancing on Clouds dry ice or cold spark fountains, we time these precisely to the build of the track.

Building the Dance Floor

The build from background atmosphere to a full dance floor takes 30 to 60 minutes at most weddings. We watch the room — not a clock — and adjust based on who is dancing and how the energy is moving.

Reading the Room

Music adapted in real time as the night moves on. Guest ages, requests, and atmosphere all factored in. A considered final song that sends everyone home on a high.

How much does wedding DJ hire cost in Worcestershire?

Wedding DJ hire across Worcestershire starts from £495 for our Celebration package. That covers five hours, a starlit booth, premium PA, wireless microphone, and online music planning. The Spectacle, Diamond, and Diamond Rustic add fuller lighting rigs. Every quote is fixed, with VAT and no hidden extras.

What is included in your wedding DJ package?

Every package includes five hours of DJ performance, a starlit booth, premium PA, and intelligent lighting. You also get a wireless microphone for speeches, professional announcements, and our online music planning system. PAT-tested gear and £10M public liability insurance come as standard. The Diamond adds moving heads, a mirror ball, and eight uplighters.

Do you provide a wireless microphone for speeches?

Yes, a wireless microphone is included free with every wedding DJ package. Your DJ sets it up, runs a sound check before guests arrive, and manages levels during speeches. We brief whoever is speaking on holding it. A backup handheld mic travels to every Worcestershire wedding.

Can we give you a do-not-play list?

Yes, your do-not-play list is logged in our online music planning system and honoured strictly. Many couples block specific songs, artists, or whole genres. Your DJ checks every guest request against that list before playing anything. Your final list is confirmed through the online planning system before your wedding.

Do you carry backup equipment to every wedding?

Yes, a backup laptop, power supplies and controllers travel to every wedding as standard. Our speakers are individually powered, so we can keep running on one if the other develops a fault. We test everything on arrival and run a complete sound check before guests enter. In over fifteen years across Worcestershire venues, no Blue Diamond wedding has stopped for equipment failure.

Are you PAT tested and fully insured?

Yes, all equipment is PAT tested annually and we hold £10M public liability insurance. Venues like Stanbrook Abbey and Curradine Barns often request both before the day. We send certificates straight to your venue coordinator on request, well ahead of your wedding.

How long before the wedding do you arrive to set up?

Setup typically takes 45 to 60 minutes, or up to 90 minutes for our Heritage rustic rig, which includes more extensive lighting. We always arrive with plenty of time to be fully set up before your guests arrive. For room turnarounds at barn venues, we coordinate timings directly with your coordinator beforehand.

Do you liaise with our venue coordinator before the day?

Yes, we contact your venue coordinator directly to confirm access, timings, and any restrictions. We already know sound-limiter setups at Worcestershire venues such as Mill Barns and Curradine Barns. That liaison covers parking, load-in routes, and power, so setup runs smoothly on the day.

What happens if our DJ is unwell on the wedding day?

A named backup DJ process is written into every Blue Diamond contract. We work as a team and hold a mutual cover arrangement with trusted local DJs. If illness strikes, you are told early and a briefed replacement steps in. In fifteen years, we have never left a couple without a DJ.

Can we meet our DJ before the wedding?

We don't offer an in-person meeting as standard, our detailed online music planning system covers everything we need to know, so there's rarely anything left to discuss in person. That said, we're always happy to jump on a call if you have questions.

What music genres and styles do you specialise in?

All of our DJs have wide experience across a full range of genres, and between our online music planning system and our team's collective experience, we make sure everything you want is covered and built into an order that keeps the dance floor moving all night. If you're after a genre specialist, for example a dedicated soul and R&B DJ, we can arrange that too, though it's worth noting this isn't something we'd typically recommend for a full wedding evening, since a broader mix tends to keep more of your guests on the floor.

Can you provide music for an outdoor ceremony?

Yes. Ceremony setups are generally a smaller system, just a couple of speakers, and we simply need your music in advance so we know your entrance song, your signing-of-the-register song, and your song for walking back down the aisle. For larger or more complex ceremonies, we've also set up multiple microphones for speeches, the officiant and the registrar, which involves a sound engineer, so let us know if that's something you need.

What happens if our reception runs over, can you extend on the night, and what does that cost?

This is rare, mainly because most venues have a strict licensed finish time due to noise and licensing restrictions, so if your venue's access ends at a set time, that's when the night ends regardless. Where a venue does allow it, extending is £100 per hour, payable on the night by cash or bank transfer. One thing worth knowing: we build the whole evening around your booked finish time, so if you reach that natural high point at the end of the night and then add an extra hour, the energy in the room can fizzle rather than build. We're always happy to extend where the venue allows it, just worth deciding in advance rather than on the night.

Do you offer discounts for midweek or off-season weddings?

Our pricing is fixed year-round, we don't increase prices in peak season or reduce them in quieter months. That said, for certain quieter dates, such as a Sunday in October, we may be able to offer some flexibility on price, so it's always worth asking when you enquire.

Building Your Playlist

Once you book, you get access to our online event planner. It holds a database of 70,000 songs, and you can add tracks manually when something new lands. That matters because TikTok and Spotify surface hits faster than any database updates. You build three lists: Must Play, Play If Possible, and Do Not Play.

A DJ plays roughly 17 songs an hour, so a five-hour set leaves about 3.5 to 4 hours of dancing. After background music and a buffet lull, that is 60 to 70 tracks at most. We suggest 20 to 25 Must Play songs and 40 Play If Possible, then trust the DJ. Load 200 Must Play songs and you give the DJ nothing useful to work with.

Your Do-Not-Play List

Your Do Not Play list is followed without exception. Some couples do not want a cheesy set, blocking tracks like Black Lace, the Macarena or the Cha Cha Slide. That choice shapes the atmosphere as clearly as your favourite songs do. Whatever a guest requests on the night, a banned track stays off.

Guest Requests on the Night

You also get a separate link to share with guests, who enter their name before requesting songs. You receive an email for every request, such as 'John Smith has requested a song'. From your portal you approve, delete, or move it to Must Play or Play If Possible. We advise leaving requests as requests, unless a track is a genuine must play for you.
