FAQs

We are not an “agency”. You have direct access to your DJ (Eddy or Aleks) throughout the entire process. As the owners, we’ll work with you from initial enquiry through to consultation in the lead up and then of course, bring the tunes on the day itself.

We’ve played at weddings for years and through this experience, can handle the pressure of the day. Weddings are our favourite type of party, but they’re not for the faint-hearted! You’ll want a DJ who can get everyone – from shy work colleagues to the over 80s – to bust some moves while keeping the tunes classy. 😉

Eddy and Aleks Mac (partners in life and business!). As well as running One More Song, we DJ at all of our events. We love getting to know our clients, nailing their music briefs and having a boogie behind the decks! See us in action on Instagram. We also have a podcast!

Great question! Although DJ services are the core of our business, we offer some fun and helpful extras, including:

• Salsa – a sexy digital photo booth that injects hours of (extra) fun into your night!
• Sax players, who come and jam for 2 hours during dance floor (read more about why you should add a sax player to your DJ!
• Our killer lights
• Our audio guest book
• Basic MC service – your friends and family will breathe a sigh of relief!

Our DJ services are $2,970 incl. GST, which includes one full set up for a standard wedding reception: DJ booth, decks, speakers (if required) and a wireless mic. This also covers all equipment set up and pack down time and labour. And of course, all the work we do in the lead up – eg. expert music guidance, working with you on your run sheet, liaising with your venue and prepping tunes according to your music brief!

A standard wedding reception is 5 hours in length. Additional hours are charged at $220.

If you want us to cover tunes for your ceremony, we can quote for additional equipment (if required) and time. Read more about how it works when we’re involved for the full day.

Travel is $1.10 per km for regional weddings (>40kms from the CBD).

Good question! In addition to a rockstar DJ bringing the tunes at your event, our service includes:

• High-end speakers, DJ booth, decks and a wireless mic for speeches (plus back up equipment, just in case)
• In-person/video/phone meetings with your DJ (either Aleks or Eddy)
• Help with your music brief and structuring the timeline for your special event
• Hours of meticulous tune prepping to make sure we nail your music brief
• Working with your venue and other suppliers to make sure everything runs smoothly!

Check out our blog on what really goes into DJing a wedding to see the work that goes in before, during and after a gig to ensure the music aspect of your big day remains stress-free. It’s much more than just playing the music on the night!

You can also read more about how we work with our clients.

Once we’re booked in, we’ll guide you through an online “party brief” to capture your music tastes, such as genres and artists you like, as well as what you DON’T like. You can also include links to playlists you’ve put together to give us more of an idea of the music you love!

On the day itself, we select tracks by reading the crowd and working within your party brief. There are no pre-prepared playlists. We mix the tunes live – this is what you’re paying for!

We’ve put together sample DJ mixes on our Music page to help you choose some sweet tunes you’d like on your special day. We also have some great song ideas for your day on Spotify.

Also, check out our blog on how to find music inspo for your event for some more inspiration!

We do – but there’s a bit more to it than that!

Using your brief, we’ll carefully select tunes for different parts of the reception. It’s also our job to take and field song requests from guests throughout the night.

If a guest requests something we know you won’t like, we’ll ask them if there’s anything else they’d like to hear. Also, if it’s not the right time to play a song request – but it’s something that could work – we’ll mark it in our software to play later on. 🙂

Here are a few things we’ll need if your wedding is on a private property or at a “BYO” venue:

• Total cover from the elements (regardless of rain or shine!)
• Access to single phase power. If you’re running a generator some distance from where the action is, we just need an extension to where the DJ is set up.
• Private security for the duration of the reception (these types of weddings tend to get a bit loose!)
• A main point of contact coordinating your wedding/special event on the day.

The earlier the better! There are only two of us, so our weekends fill up quickly. For weddings, we recommend booking at least 9 months out to secure one of us.

(Depending on where you’re at in the planning process, you may need some other wedding vendor recommendations – check out our Friends page for some kick-ass suppliers we love to work with!).

Nope! Although weddings are our bread and butter, we also rock dance floors at all sorts of parties. In fact, we often play at our wedding clients’ corporate parties, milestone birthdays and family events!

We take travel weddings on a case-by-case basis (depending on the location) and require accommodation for venues that are an hour or more outside of Melbourne. Please note that we also have a minimum booking amount for regional weddings, which we can chat to you about!

Although we’re more than happy to work alongside wedding planners and stylists, we work directly with all of our couples in the lead up to their events. We meet with our couples (either over the phone, on a video call or in person) before they book us to make sure we’re the right vibe for each other!

It’s really important to us that we have a relationship with our clients and to know that everything has been considered from a music and sound perspective (after all, it’s our area of expertise!). We also work really closely with our clients on their run sheets to maximise dancing time (a priority for most of our clients).

If you’re a wedding planner, we’ll ask you to introduce us to the couple at the enquiry stage. Of course, we’ll keep you copied on all communication so you’re in the loop!

One More Song is committed to the safety of its owners and musicians, clients, event guests and other industry vendors. We have put together a COVIDSafe plan that covers the essential actions we’ll undertake to ensure we’re operating in a COVIDSafe way. As restrictions change, we will update this plan and publish the latest version on our website.

It’s such an unpredictable time, but we’ve got your back! If you’ve booked us but need to move your event to another date due to COVID-19 restrictions, we will put forward your part payment towards a new date. A rebooking fee may apply – see more about our policy below.

We just ask that you provide a few different new date options so we can make sure we’re available!

We’ve written this comprehensive blog covering various COVID scenarios and how we manage these. Check it out for our full policy.

Fill in your details at our Book a DJ page to automatically receive more info in our party pack.

If one of us is available for your wedding, we’ll confirm with you via email within 48 hours. From there, you can book in a phone/video chat or in-person catch up with either Eddy or Aleks to run through all the juicy details of your wedding (or special event)!

After this, if we’re the right vibe for each other and you want to lock us in, we’ll send you a contract and a 50 percent part payment invoice and once you’ve signed and paid, BOOM, we’re locked in for your event! 🎉
