It's important to remember that your chosen venue may have noise restrictions, so sound limits and curfews may apply.

When booking a wedding DJ in Birmingham, please follow these instructions:
The music you choose for your wedding day sets the tone for the entire event. Every single moment should be tailored to your preferences and capture the meaning of your special day. Here's what to consider when choosing your music:
Wedding Ceremony Entrance: Some people choose the traditional wedding march, while others prefer a more personal song.
Drinks Reception: Background music is ideal for the drinks reception, as it sets the tone for your evening entertainment.
First Dance: Wedding DJs will always accommodate your first dance music choice. However, if it's a niche song or an older track, you should let them know in advance so they can find the track.
Party Set: This is the music that gets your party started and creates unforgettable moments. Whether you want to create the ultimate party atmosphere or enjoy a more laid-back event, your DJ will customise their set to your preferences.
Last Dance: Some people choose a slow song for their last dance, while others opt for a high-energy party track.
Remember, DJs are professionals who want to make sure you and your guests have an absolutely amazing time. Along with creating custom playlists, you can also mix genres and list songs you don't want the DJ to play.
The cost of a wedding DJ in Birmingham ranges from £450 to over £1,600. For example, a seasoned DJ will cost more, while local DJs are often more affordable.
Absolutely. DJs will ask about your favourite songs and genres before the event, but many also take requests on the day. This keeps your guests dancing while also delivering the ultimate party experience. You can also send your own playlist in advance.

The average set times for DJs in Birmingham are between 4 and 6 hours. However, you can split this time as you see fit. For example, some DJs will play music during the drinks reception and wedding breakfast, then a set during the evening reception.
They made our wedding and we could not have asked for more...
Cloud Nine performed an acoustic set during cocktails and a party set after dinner for our wedding at Pateo Alfacinha - they were just perfect! They were fun, they sounded beautiful, they were engaging with the crowd - the band is the single biggest element of our wedding that we have received compliments from people about. If you are in two minds about whether to book them - just do it. They made our wedding and we could not have asked for more. Thank you so much Cloud Nine!
I just wanted to pop a note over to say how amazing the band and DJ were

We have had so many compliments on how good the band was...
We booked Mashup Kings for our wedding at Kingscote Barn and we are so glad we did! We spent ages looking through different bands online to find something more in line with our music tastes and we're so glad we found these guys.
