Modern wedding entertainment at Half Acre
Half Acre in South Melbourne is an absolute dream for warehouse wedding lovers. We know this gem inside out and have worked at many fabulous weddings there.
To bring this beautiful room to life, we have built a trusted collective of talented, warm, and friendly DJs and live musicians who love playing weddings. We know how to fill the space with warm and upbeat vibes early on, with awesome energy later on as you hit the dance floor.
Why we love Half Acre
-
The courtyard and the big room reveal
Cocktail hour usually happens inside the main space. The venue team cleverly drapes off the main dining space with beautiful sheer curtains, keeping everyone mingling happily in the front cocktail zone. When the time comes, they execute a stunning room reveal, transitioning your guests seamlessly into the reception space for dinner.
-
Stress-free audio control
To great perfect audio, the Half Acre handles all the sound directly through Harry the Hirer, providing a dedicated sound technician on-site all day. They manage the microphones and room volume, which completely frees up our DJs to focus entirely on what they do best: throwing down bangers and bringing the vibe all night.
-
Positioning the party
The sweet spot for the dance floor at Half Acre is right next to the main bar area, underneath the striking exposed timber beams. The venue provides us with a sleek, minimised DJ booth here, keeping the music right next to the drinks to ensure the energy stays concentrated in the dance floor area.
-
Creative brief freedom
This venue naturally attracts music-focused couples who want a curated look and feel without a generic soundtrack. We can spin soulful housey vibes early on and head into dance and R&B bangers for the dance floor. Whatever your musical tastes are, we’ll live-mix them seamlessly.

What do our clients say?
On the wedding night the music was amazing, the vibes were high, I am so happy we booked her as our MC as the flow of the night was perfect.
Really candid and natural ceremony and she was an amazing celebrant.
Would definitely recommend booking for all three services if you’re getting married
Aleks completely understood the brief: gay divas party vibes from start to finish! Her expertise in reading the room, choosing the right songs, and keeping the dancefloor full all night was honestly incredible. We had guests telling us afterwards how much fun they had dancing, and that’s a huge credit to her.
We also loved the extra services she offered. The dancefloor lighting completely transformed the space and created the perfect party atmosphere, and the audio guest book has become one of our favourite keepsakes from the night. Being able to hear heartfelt (and hilarious!) messages from our family and friends is something we’ll treasure forever.
If you’re looking for a DJ who is organised, easy to work with, genuinely cares about creating an amazing experience, and knows exactly how to keep the party going, we couldn’t recommend One More Song and Aleks more highly. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!

She completely understood our slightly tricky mix of music tastes and somehow managed to create the perfect soundtrack for the night. She played such a big part in making our wedding feel so special and memorable.
Thank you so much Aleks!
We couldn't recommend you more highly for anyone planning their wedding.
Eddy was also kind enough to film our first look as he was setting up during the moment, a moment we will forever have on video now. Thank you so much, Eddy!
From our very first meeting, Aleks totally got our vibe. In the lead-up to the big day, her communication and support were excellent, and we felt like we were in very safe hands the entire time.
On the night itself, we genuinely had the absolute best time and everyone (and we mean literally EVERYONE) was raving to us for weeks after about how amazing the tunes were. From the moment the dance floor opened, it was packed, and it stayed that way all night. Our siblings slipped downstairs for a bit and told us they could see the ceiling vibrating from the dance floor absolutely popping off. It got to the end of the night and we even had to arrange an impromptu wedding exit just to get people off the dance floor...we reckon everyone could have kept going for hours more! The vibes were unreal and we had an absolute blast 💥
We can't recommend Aleks and One More Song highly enough!

We got so much positive feedback from our friends and family, with lots of people asking if we had made the playlist ourselves because it felt so perfectly “us.” On the day, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Eddy took care of everything and coordinated with our venue seamlessly, which made the whole night completely stress-free. He was an absolute highlight and helped make the party one of the best parts of the day.
From our very first enquiry we knew we were in good hands. Everything was so easy and straight forward which was a big help during the wedding planning process, knowing that you have professionals who have your back and care about providing the best possible experience!
We booked DJ and MC services and we loved how effortlessly the night flowed.
The dancefloor was everything we wanted and more, the music was perfect with all of our favourite songs. Everyone is still talking about how good the dancefloor was!
Thank you again Aleks, we hope we'll see you at another wedding soon!
