Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to the Frequently Asked Questions section! I know the wedding planning process can be a little overwhelming at times, but never fear - you’ve come to the right place to find answers to those curly questions you may have when it comes to wedding planning. And of course, if you have any questions not answered here, you can always get in touch with me at hello@timthedj.com.au to schedule a phone call.   

  • Not at all! While I love performing at weddings, I also play at corporate functions and private events all year round.

  • Yes - there is a small travel fee for events more than 50km from the Melbourne CBD. For events over 2 hours distance, accommodation is required.

  • Absolutely! I perform at ALL weddings and happily celebrate love! 🌈

  • With 3 entertainment packages available, these are designed to have your party needs covered. However add-ons are available, such as a Ceremony Package, dance floor lighting and MC services (note these are already included in the Platinum package). Get in touch for all add-ons available.

  • All I require from your venue is access to nearby power and cover from the elements (rain or sunshine). This is particularly important if your wedding is on a private property or marquee.

  • I’ll arrive at the venue one hour prior to your booking start time to ensure everything is ready to go. You will not be charged for this one hour of set-up time.

  • I try not take up much space so there is more room for dancing. I only require a 2x3m set up area by the dance floor.

  • Yes, as long as I’m protected from the elements so that my equipment does not overheat or get wet. It’s always best to have a wet weather back up plan :) I also require a dry, flat surface to set up on (as we don’t want speakers leaning at odd angles).

  • I only require access to 1 dedicated power point for my set up (standard household power). I’ll provide all leads required for my set up. Please have power accessible within 15 metres of my performance area.

  • Absolutely - this is the benefit of having a DJ that live mixes! For your peace of mind, I am comfortable to kindly say “No” to a guest’s song request if it’s one that would fizzle your dance floor.

  • Of course, I’ll have a wireless microphone available for your MC and guest speeches.

  • Yes, for an additional fee I’m happy to provide a basic MC service to guide the formalities of the evening. This is already included in my Platinum Package.

  • Yes, provided it’s OK with your venue. Similar to other on-site vendors, there is an extra fee for overtime which will need to be paid prior to commencement. My overtime rate is $500/hour on the night.

  • Absolutely. My equipment is well maintained and tested thoroughly to minimise the risk of any potential problems. However I always ensure there is a backup plan just in case.

  • I’m happy to meet/speak with you over zoom, phone & email in the lead up to your event. To keep things stress free, you will have access to a personalised online planning page where you can update your music brief at any time. I will firm this up with you one week before your special day.

  • You got me… Shake It Off.

  • If you get in touch via my Contact page, I’ll respond ASAP to confirm availability and provide you with a quote. If you’re unable to submit an enquiry form, I’m always available at hello@timthedj.com.au.

    I’m also more than happy to have a chat to answer any further questions you may have over the phone.
