OVERVIEW
Hello, I’m Andrew McClelland. I’m a professional DJ, MC, comedian and enthusiastic dancer. I love to entertain and want to make sure that your wedding finishes off with the best party you've ever been to.
I’m different from other wedding DJs because I’m not an agency. I’ve decided to keep things small, personal and boutique, even though I have decades of experience. I’m the complete package and handle everything myself, leaving nothing to chance. I love to meet you before the wedding and tailor the party to exactly what you would like, but I can also take control over the music if you just want to relax about it and focus on other things. Either way, we’re going to have a damd good dance.
My signature DJing style is a combination of well-crafted tune selection, years of mixing experience, and enthusiastic dancing. I adore DJing and can’t keep my body still while playing, which brings a genuinely unique element to my performance. I don’t know of any other DJs who add the exciting element of enthusiastic dance to their performance. My music tastes are very wide-ranging, and I can DJ any genre, but also have immense experience in bringing the classic party tracks that everyone can enjoy.
I’m also an enthusiastic, joy-filled MC, and have won awards at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Sydney Comedy Festival. If you’re looking for a host who will keep the good vibes going all through the night, I’m your guy.
You may have seen me play when I was the official support act for Cher’s 2018 AUS/NZ stadium tour or for Robbie Williams in 2022 Or Hot Dub Time Machine many times over. Or at centrepiece parties for the Melbourne International Film Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Melbourne Fashion Festival or Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Or perhaps you’ve come to my enduringly popular, ongoing club night ‘Mr McClelland’s Finishing School.’ Or maybe you’ve seen me play clubs in the UK, South-East Asia or New Zealand or innumerable corporate events and parties.
When it comes to weddings I use all of my experience in the entertainment industry to ensure you and your guests have the best night of your lives, so please do get in touch and let’s talk party.
What you can expect from me for your wedding:
-An internationally renowned entertainer. I have taken my sets all over the world, playing clubs in the UK, NZ, and Asia.
-A wide range of music. Never walking into a wedding with a “set”, I prefer to read the crowd and adapt the music to suit their energy. From The Beatles and Blondie to Taylor Swift and Beyonce, I have something for everyone.
-I’m very happy to take musical direction and tailor the night to your tastes and take requests, or you can just relax and let me read the crowd and create a set to the crowd’s tastes, live.
What you’ll love about having me for your wedding:
-I give 100% to every event. Weddings are one of the most special moments in your life, and I know that music and MCing is a critical component. That’s why I work incredibly hard to ensure you and your guests have a memorable time.
-I’ll get the dancefloor going. I’m very proud of my ability to get people onto the dancefloor. Using my intuition and many years of experience as well as the power of my own enthusiasm, I can always get your guests to get down.
“As always you were fantastic and will no doubt be the talking point among our guests for years to come.” Briony A

FAQ
Heck yes! I can be as flexible on this as you like. I will always play whatever requests the couple decide they 'need' to hear, no matter what it is.
I'm also happy to take requests from your guests, although I will be somewhat selective about this as not all requests are great for the dance floor.
You are also very welcome to send me your own list of favourite songs and/or songs you've collected from your guests beforehand. A shortlist of 'must plays' and a long list of 'we would like to hear' goes a long way with me and I'll endeavour to make it exactly the dance floor you want on the evening, whilst retaining some control to make sure there aren't too many obscurities.
I am every part of my business. From initial communications to meet ups to all set up, DJing and MCing on the day you will only need to deal with me for the party element of the biggest night of your life. Other DJing services have employees that have no real investment in your day and play off a set list of 'classic wedding tracks' while scrolling through their phone in the corner. Instead, I will get to know you over time, including what you like and dislike and I will passionately pursue every path to making your wedding the perfect day.
I also have deep experience in weddings, going back 20 years, I know what makes a good dance floor and apart from top mixing skills, honed by experience and top line gear, I also have an ace up my sleeve. I absolutely love music and love the job. I dance passionately to the tracks I'm playing out of a sheer joy of it which gets everyone in the mood for a big night of fun. I'm the only DJ I'm aware of that does this, except for the international DJing sensation 'Hot Dub Time Machine' and he will readily tell you that it was watching me perform that taught him to dance as he DJs to get the crowd truly going.
With me, you'll get a unique, exciting party every time that will suit you and your partner excellently.
Heck yes!
I have a fine array of professional gear you can hire for additional cost.
Audio package:
If you're venue doesn't already have a sound system I have a set of JBL PRX 710s which at 133db will excellently fill all rooms, and all I will need from your venue is a table and a power point. This will come with all stands and additional wireless or corded mics should you like to use them. You are also welcome to hire or borrow you're own speakers and I'm happy to check on them before the wedding to make sure they're perfect for your venue.
Lighting package:
I have a lighting rig which includes moving heads, derbies, washes, a laser, and strobes. I can operate this myself to be as wild or subtle as you wish.
DJ booth:
I'm happy to set up on any old table at the venue, but if you'd like a professional looking DJ booth I have a professional booth with white translucent panels. I then set up a spinning disco light behind this so that the booth appears to be filled with spinning colour.
Hazer:
Many venues don't allow smoke effects, so check with them first, but if they do I can bring a hazer so that the disco lights are beautifully defined and bounce around the dance floor delightfully. I can also let out some big bursts of haze for any special moments you may wish such as your entrance or first dance.

I look forward to hearing from you!
