About
DJ Dekks is a DJ for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
Wade, the DJ behind DJ Dekks, builds every set around one question: what do you want to hear? There's no fixed playlist. He asks before the event, shapes the music to the answer, then plays the room on the night. Weddings and corporate events are his speciality, and he arrives with his own speakers, lighting and a wireless microphone. For evenings that want a softer start, he also works alongside Kings Parade, an acoustic covers act, so the night can open unplugged over dinner and finish on a full dance floor. Melbourne based, with a collection running from 20s and 40s standards right through to 80s, 90s and current pop.
The show
Wade doesn't arrive with an opinion about what your night should sound like. He asks first, listens to the answer, then builds the music around it. The client comes first is how he puts it, and in practice that means the planning happens well before the day and the reading happens on it. Weddings and corporate events are the speciality, and he wants the night to go well for you rather than to showcase anything of his own.
On the day
It depends what shape your night is. Speakers, lighting and a wireless microphone all come with him, so speeches and announcements are covered without hiring anything extra. Beyond that the requirements come down to the venue and what you're after, which is a conversation worth having early rather than on the day.
Performance options
Two combined options exist. One pairs the DJ set with Kings Parade, an acoustic covers act, which suits a night that wants unplugged music over dinner before the dance floor opens. The other bundles the DJ with wedding and event photography, so one booking covers both and there's a single person to deal with rather than two suppliers to coordinate.
