DJ Stefan

Gippsland weddings, corporate nights and private parties are Stefan's home ground, and fifteen years of them shows in how little fuss there is on the day. He works open format, which in practice means the genre follows the room. A 70s disco run early, 90s classics when the older guests are still up, house or top 40 once the floor thins out to the ones who want to dance properly. He watches who's actually out there and picks accordingly. If you're in Warragul, Drouin, Sale or anywhere between, he's local, so he isn't driving four hours to get to you.

Give him a clear, level patch of about 3m by 3m near the dance floor and two ordinary 240v power points. That's the lot. Outdoors, the spot needs cover from the weather. Everything else arrives with him: PA sized to the room, mixer, wireless mic for the speeches, and lighting including uplights and moving heads. There's a DBX drive rack in the chain to tune the room and keep the mic from squealing during toasts. The booth hides the cabling so it looks tidy from the guest side, and he's set up and ready well before anyone walks in.

Three options, depending on the night. The wedding option covers the reception with DJ and MC work, full sound, uplighting and other lighting, and good microphones, plus a smoke machine when the venue allows it. A ceremony can be added on top, with its own sound rig, mics for the vows and readings, and battery power for the Gippsland spots that have none. The party option suits milestone birthdays, engagements and company nights: DJ, sound, lighting, mics and the smoke machine again. Primary schools get a shorter weekday version for discos and fundraisers. Extra time can be added to any of them.
