⚡ Sussex Wedding DJs ⚡
The majority of our clients book our full day DJ package. By doing so they are giving us complete control of their wedding soundtrack which eliminates the need for things like organising playlists, hiring speakers, hiring multiple musicians to play at various times, or asking friends to 'hit play' during the ceremony. Our set lists for the champagne/canapé reception provide perfect backdrop for a sunny day on the lawn, full of swing and ibiza chill out tracks. Having Signature Moments as your music consultants for the day will alleviate a lot of the stress that comes with organinsing so many separate elements, leaving you to relax and get on with the best day of your lives.
We get through an enormous amount of music in our wedding DJ sets, all tightly mixed whilst playing to the crowd at all times, with lots of imaginative switch ups, giving your guests that "OMG I LOVE THIS SONG!" feeling that will keep your party going all the way to the last tune.
Get stuck in with the playlist!! It doesn’t matter what kind of wedding you're planning, we will work with you to put together a set that is a perfect reflection of what you want to hear. From indie disco to 80s pop, from 90s Garage bangers to Motown and soul classics, from House floorfillers to Rock and Roll swingers, and everything in between, we make it happen!!
