Music creates some of the most memorable moments of your wedding day, and it’s our job to make the wedding reception entertainment special and fun for you, your future husband/wife, and your family and friends.   That's why the Funky Penguin only has the most experienced and professional wedding DJs for hire on its books.

Wedding Reception Disco & Dance

A vibrant evening is so important; it’s the longest part of the wedding day’s celebrations and the final memory your guests leave with. Funky Penguin wedding DJs work on three principles to make your wedding reception happen:

• Fill the dance floor - we constantly gauge the audience’s reactions and play tracks that keep the floor busy right through to the last dance of the night. We’ve DJ’d at thousands of events, and our vast collection includes music that appeals to a wide range of cultures, ages and tastes.
   
• Preserve the beauty of the look you created for the reception room. We’ll hide all cables and accessories from view.
  
• Focus on the music; We use the microphone just for important moments like welcoming the two of you onto the floor for your first ever dance as husband and wife.

Book Your Wedding DJ with Confidence

The last thing you want are surprises. You can find many part time DJs with sound systems and music, but lack the credibility of a full time service with the years of wedding experience necessary to take charge and run a flawless presentation specifically set to your expectations. Beware...don't allow a wannabe DJ or a friend of the family (no matter how sincere his heartfelt intentions) to jeopardize something so special. In the worst cases this has even led to real family tensions long after the wedding day!

Every wedding dance deserves a disc jockey that has the experience and professionalism to handle the multiple demands of such an occasion. You should look for someone who is professional, experienced, and who plays for the crowd and not from a pre-determined play list. The DJ should also dress for the occasion, use the microphone only when and where appropriate, and use volume control to ensure that the music is loud enough to make dancing comfortable, yet not so loud as to discourage conversation.

An unfortunate reality in the DJ business is that anyone with a few CD’s and a sound system can call themselves a DJ. While every DJ is unique in what they bring to your event, it is a fact that many an expensive wedding reception or corporate party has been ruined by blindly hiring a DJ who turns out to be clueless and inexperienced. Anybody can make promises. It is the ability to deliver on those promises that will make or break your event. With the top team of DJs from The Funky Penguin, you are getting professional, mature, well groomed, fun DJs with many years entertaining experience at special events.

DJ Playlists

Your Funky Penguin wedding DJ will be happy to make sure that any especially selected tracks are included at the appropriate moments.  Whilst it is good to allow your DJ to read the crowd and adapt the music accordingly, we do offer our clients a playlist service where you can select a limited number of tracks that may be particularly special to you. 

To learn more read our section on Music Playlists. You may also wish to consider including music videos & wedding photo presentations that can be shown at your wedding reception.  Just ask us for more information.
