Vu really listened to what we were after and delivered 100%. Our night was great, the vibe was always right and when it came time to dance the dancefloor was full all night. Thank you, Vu and Melbourne Entertainment Co.” - Catarina & Michael F.

About

Nathan first started Melbourne Entertainment Co. back in 2011. While holding a residency with Nova FM nationally for 6 years, he began building a team of fresh, cool & talented performers to fill a niche in the wedding entertainment market. Seeing many out of touch, un-cool and dated acts, Nathan saw an opportunity to keep weddings exciting and youthful. His goal is to ensure that nobody has to have another daggy wedding DJ for the most important day of their life.

FAQ

How do I have my say in what songs are played?

It's YOUR day! You can have a much or as little input into your playlist as you choose. We've developed a simple yet thorough consultation process so that all of your requests are carefully considered and professionally integrated by our music experts.

What is a DJ Band?

The decision to book a DJ or a band has long been the topic of discussion for couples. We believe that we have come up with an innovative solution to this problem: The DJ Band.

Adding a live element to an otherwise standard DJ set can create a unique, bespoke entertainment experience that will keep your guests raving for years to come. Our most popular additions to our DJ sets (in order) are: Singers, Saxophonists, Percussionists, Guitarists, Strings and Pianists. For the best experience, we recommend booking 2 or 3 live elements for your wedding.

Can I choose my DJ, Singer, Sax Player etc?

Of course!

After discussing your aspirations, we will recommend for your personal selection, a few choice DJs & exciting entertainers whom are available for your wedding.

OR if you spend enough time making decisions, you can leave this up to our expert's professional judgement.

What are your payment terms?

We require a 50% deposit made within 1 week of your booking confirmation, with the balance due 3 business days prior to your wedding.

What happens in the case of a performer falling sick?

Being a reputable Entertainment Company, we have never failed to provide our couples with ideal solutions in these unfortunate but occasionally unavoidable instances. We will go to great lengths to find a suitable replacement of an equal or higher calibre – as the show must and will go on!

Thomas R played at our wedding on NYE and was amazing start to finish. Tom learnt our wedding song without any hassle and did an amazing job. From our first meeting he put us both at ease because he listened and learnt what we wanted and played it. On the night Tom was great on the guitar and also amazing as a DJ and made the whole night have the right feel. I’d recommend Tom to anyone!! Tom went above and beyond for our wedding and nothing was too much trouble.

We had MEC do all our entertainment for our wedding day and they did not disappoint! We had Dane as our booking manager and after three postponements he always made sure we were always looked after. On the day we had Jeremy and Callum and they both exceed expectations. Jeremy made us feel so special with his incredible voice that moved our guests to tears. Callum knew how to get the party started and even though he’d just met us, managed to give us such a personal MC experience. His trumpet/sax skills were so amazing and our guests danced for hours! 100% recommend MEC, Jeremy and Callum.

Hannah was amazing at our summer wedding - we were very specific with our requests/playlists and she absolutely nailed it. Her preparation was extremely thorough, she listened to our requirements, was a pleasure to deal with and had everything under control at all the special moments. We aren't planning on getting married again, but we wouldn't hesitate to have Hannah back if we were! For a wedding or any other event you have planned, you won't be disappointed.

GUITARIST | SINGER BELLE Belle sang at our Wedding and she was absolutely incredible. Not only does she have an angelic amazing voice, talent and skills, but she is so wonderful, kind and lovely. She was a pleasure to work with, and she made our ceremony magical. Our guests have been raving about her since, and have non stopped giving us compliments. The Melbourne Entertainment company was so easy to work with, great communication, and so helpful. Can’t stress enough how absolutely remarkable they are, I highly recommend them.

We recently hired DJ Henry (Ian) for our wedding and he was nothing short of amazing. MEC were so easy to work with, everything is digitalised and Alannah was so helpful and quick to respond to any questions that we had. DJ Henry absolutely ripped up the dance floor with his sax and really got the crowd going. He worked so hard to make sure that us and our guests had a great time and he succeeded. Thank you DJ Henry, we are so stoked you were there for our big day!

Hi Rebecca! Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear DJ Henry rocked your wedding with his sax 🎷💃 It's awesome that he kept the energy high and made sure everyone had a blast! So glad Alannah could make the planning smooth too. Congrats again, and thanks for having us be part of your big day! 🎉

What's the best way to incorporate Greek and English music at our reception?

Hi there. My partner is Greek, and I'm Aussie, and our guest list reflects roughly half and half. Wanting to ensure both cultures are represented and have a great time. How best to include music for each so everyone has fun?

Melbourne Entertainment Co.

All of our DJs are very well experienced in playing traditional music from a variety of different cultures for a couple of sets throughout the night. We regularly perform at different types of weddings eg: (Italian/Macedonian/European/Arabic/Greek etc….) whereby a few brackets of traiditional music is played for 5-45 minutes (depending on how long you’re after).

Upon booking with us, you’ll receive a DJ Request/Expectations Form to fill out with room to complete your:

Formality Requests (entry songs / specific dances Yes/No)
Top 10 Must Plays
Additional Song Requests
Traditional/Cutlural Songs
Do-Not-Plays (for any tragic overdone song you don’t want played - no thanks Macarena haha)

You have full customisation over the songs that you wish to hear including the traditional/cultural songs that you’re after.

We may have a list of your nationality's songs which we’ve collected from some previous weddings as inspiration if you like which we can attached. You might like some of these, or they may not be appropriate. We understand that every culture has it’s own specific nuances/tastes - But it’s a starting point!

Do DJ's provide a sound system to use?

Melbourne Entertainment Co.

Absolutely we do yes! All of our DJ quotes include 2x powered PA speakers providing a sound system sufficient for up to a dancefloor of 150 people

Will a wedding band or DJ act as an MC?

Just wondering whether it's common for wedding DJs to also act as an MC?

Melbourne Entertainment Co.

Some DJs and Bands can MC weddings. What is comes down to is your own expectation of what an MC is meant to deliver... If you are only seeking basic announcements such as welcoming your guests and notifying a tradition is imminent, then a confident, experienced and well spoken DJ or band member should be able to deliver this. If you wish for your MC to interact with guests, have a lot of dialogue and be able to deliver it in a personal, charming and engaging style, then you're best off seeking the service of a dedicated Master of Ceremonies whom will have your guests raving!
