The Signature Package

Dance floor setup in a sandstone barn: a white DJ facade lit violet from behind, a short T-bar with four PAR cans, and a speaker on a subwoofer either side
Your reception

R26,999 Ceremony to midnight

The Signature Package is everything that matters on your wedding day: great music, clear sound, and a day that runs on time.

At your ceremony, you get a compact speaker and a microphone, with your DJ handling the music. Your songs are cued live as you walk in, sign the register and walk out married. Over canapés, a separate speaker keeps the mood going with music your DJ has chosen. Then your reception comes alive with a clean, classic setup: a black or white DJ facade glowing from behind, with four lights above the dance floor. Two speakers on stands and two subwoofers give you full, punchy sound. Your music and microphone have backups, and everything's set up before your guests arrive!

Your reception

R59,999 Ceremony to midnight

Imagine walking into your reception to a stunning setup: the whole room glowing in your colours, your DJ framed by a bridge of light, and everyone you love waiting to dance. That's the Luxury Package. Your Elite DJ reads guests of every age, and plans every moment with you and your planner, from your entrance and speeches to your first dance. At your ceremony, a speaker stands either side of your guests, with two wireless microphones, so the back row hears your vows as clearly as the front. Your songs are cued live as you walk in, sign the register and walk out married. Over canapés, two speakers spread the music across the room, ready for a live musician if you'd like to add one. Then your reception becomes a stage: a white DJ booth under a lighting bridge, with two totems and two lighting bars beside it. Eight uplighters wash your walls in colour, and the lighting shifts with every part of your night, from dinner and speeches to your first dance. Then moving lights, a laser, a strobe and haze set the dance floor alight. Two column speakers and two eighteen-inch subwoofers fill the room with rich, powerful sound. A production assistant works alongside your DJ, everything has a backup, and it's all set up before your guests arrive! And you get two free extras of your choice, from a motorised disco ball to flood lights! To see if your date is free, press Check Availability. There's no commitment required.

  3. References

    Our recruitment team calls their references to make sure they’re legit.

  4. Trial gig

    They play a trial event, where we check they’re on time, professional and know the equipment inside out.

  5. Feedback and coaching

    We collect the client’s feedback and coach them on their strengths and what to work on.

  6. Moving up

    DJs rise through our levels (Rising, Signature, Elite and Master) as five-star feedback comes in.

  7. Every event

    Our DJs arrive 3 to 4 hours early, and we send a replacement DJ if one ever falls ill.

Every Package, Fully Prepared

A Note from Our CEO

“We built The DJ Company to solve the biggest problem in the wedding industry: inconsistency. Too many couples are let down by DJs who don’t prepare properly, don’t read the room, or don’t understand how important the occasion truly is. That’s why every DJ we work with is carefully vetted, trained, and held to a strict professional standard built on real wedding experience. Whichever of our DJs you choose, you can expect someone who understands how to manage the flow of your day from start to finish. They'll keep your dance floor full when it matters most. It’s about delivering a seamless, stress-free experience your guests will remember for the rest of their lives.”

Don't Take Our Word for It

"We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ company for our wedding day. From start to finish, everything was professional, seamless and so well organised. DJ Michael was absolutely incredible — he kept the energy high, and had everyone on the dance floor all night long 💃🏼🕺🏼Thank you so much for being such a special part of our day and for going above and beyond. We are beyond grateful and would recommend you a thousand times over! 🥂✨"

Wedding DJ FAQs: Durban & KwaZulu-Natal

Good to Know in Durban

How much is a wedding DJ in Durban?

Durban has four wedding DJ packages: The Signature Package at R26,999, The Deluxe Package at R34,999, The Luxury Package at R59,999 and The Forever Package at R89,999. Each includes your DJ, sound and lighting from your ceremony until midnight, and travel to your venue is quoted on top. A wedding outside the packages gets a quote of its own.

Which Durban wedding package fits our day?

Start with your guests. Signature suits a smaller, simpler day, with a Rising Wedding DJ and a clean, classic setup. Deluxe brings a Signature Wedding DJ, at their best with guests of similar tastes, and full party lighting. Luxury’s Elite Wedding DJ reads every generation, with uplighters and lighting scenes for your speeches and first dance. Forever adds a Master Wedding DJ, a technician running your lights live and d&b audiotechnik sound. Tell us about your day and we’ll point you to one.

Does a more experienced DJ make a real difference?

Most of all at a bigger or more mixed wedding. An experienced DJ hears when the room is ready to dance, bridges dinner and the party without a lull, and keeps grandparents and friends on the same floor. That is why each package names its DJ’s level, from Rising to Master.

What’s included in every Durban wedding DJ package?

Your DJ from the ceremony until midnight, separate sound for the ceremony, the canapés and the reception, a microphone for your vows, lighting for the reception and the dance floor, and backups for your music and microphone. Everything is set up before your guests arrive.

Will our Durban DJ play Gqom and Amapiano?

Yes. Gqom, Amapiano, Afro Beats and local African music are all genres you can tick on The DJ Company’s Wedding Music Request Form, with room for your own song requests and a Don’t Play list. Your DJ shapes the night around what you tick and the crowd in front of them.

What changes from one Durban package to the next?

The DJ’s level, the lighting and the crew. Signature has a Rising Wedding DJ, Deluxe a Signature Wedding DJ, Luxury an Elite Wedding DJ with a production assistant, and Forever a Master Wedding DJ with a technician and a build crew. The lighting grows from four PAR cans on a T-bar to uplighters, moving lights, lasers and beam lights, and the free extras from none to three.

Can we ask for a particular DJ for our Durban wedding?

Yes. Ask for a DJ by name from the profiles on our Our DJs page when you enquire, and we’ll tell you whether they’re free on your date. Otherwise we match a DJ at your package’s level to your crowd and your music.

We’re expecting a big guest list. Which package copes best?

Every package gives your ceremony, canapés and reception their own sound, so nothing is carried between spaces while your guests move. For the biggest rooms, The Forever Package has d&b audiotechnik speakers on four subwoofers, tuned all night by your technician. Very large or unusual setups are quoted to suit.

How do we lock in our Durban wedding date?

Send your date and venue through Check Availability, or WhatsApp us on +27 72 330 6409. We usually reply within minutes during office hours, and within 24 hours at the latest, with no commitment. Your date is held once the deposit is paid and the contract signed.

Do you play weddings outside Durban?

Yes. From our Durban branch in Berea we travel to weddings across KwaZulu-Natal, and travel to your venue is always quoted separately from the package. Tell us where you’re getting married and we’ll include it in your quote.
