What kind of events does Shakin Entertainment DJ?

Weddings, birthdays and milestone parties, engagements, school formals and discos, corporate functions and launches, private events, and car meets and car shows across Adelaide. We also run seasonal packages for Halloween, Christmas and New Year's Eve. If you are not sure whether your event is a fit, send the details through and we will tell you straight.

Do you bring your own sound and lighting?

Yes. Every booking includes a full professional PA and Pioneer DJ setup, and we bring moving-head lighting, effect lighting and smoke to suit the room. We have rigs that work indoors and outdoors, including open-air car meets. Tell us your venue and we will confirm exactly what gets set up.

Can I choose the music and give you a do-not-play list?

Always. Send through your must-plays, your do-not-plays, and a feel for the night. Jacob mixes live and reads the floor, blending your requests with the right genres for the moment. We cover house, tech house, UK garage, drum and bass, EDM, R&B, hip-hop, Afrobeats, throwbacks and the current Top 40.

How far in advance should I book?

The earlier the better, especially for wedding season, end-of-year functions and formal season, which book out first. That said, last-minute enquiries are worth sending. We have squeezed events in at short notice before. Get your date to us and we will tell you if it is free.

Which areas of Adelaide do you cover?

We are based in Adelaide and play right across the metro area and the surrounding regions, from the CBD out to the Hills, the north and the south. We have played events in Parafield, Birdwood and well beyond. Outside the metro area, send your details and we will let you know.

How much does a DJ cost in Adelaide?

It depends on the event, how long you need us, and whether you want extra lighting through the room. Send your date and details through the form and we come back with clear pricing for your night. Shakin is known for a genuinely fair price with pro gear that handles a crowd, not the inflated rates or bare-minimum setups you find elsewhere. No call centre, you deal with us directly.

How experienced is the DJ?

Shakin Entertainment has been making memories across Adelaide since 2019, with a 4.9 rating on Google from weddings, formals, parties and car meets. Jacob mixes live and reads the room rather than running a fixed playlist, which is what keeps a dance floor full all night. It is the part a lot of cheaper DJs get wrong.

Do you take last-minute or same-day bookings?

Where the date is free, yes. We have pulled events together at short notice before. The sooner you get your date to us the better, especially in peak season, but it is always worth sending a last-minute enquiry through and we will tell you straight away if we can make it work.

A wedding DJ who actually reads the room

Your reception lives or dies on the dance floor, and that comes down to a DJ who can feel where the night is heading and steer it. Jacob mixes live the whole way through, watching the floor and shifting the set in real time, so the energy builds instead of stalling between tracks.

Before the day, you send through your must-plays and your do-not-plays, plus a feel for the night. We time the music to your moments, the entrance, the first dance, the floor-fillers later on, and blend your requests with the right tracks to keep guests of every age up and dancing.

You also get a complete professional setup: a full PA built to fill the room cleanly, and moving-head lighting with effect lighting and haze to turn the venue into a proper dance floor once the formal part of the night is done.

These guys are absolutely amazing. We originally only had them booked for 3 hours but we ended up extending this by another 2 hours. They were patient with my disabled son, and the space now feels fresh and inviting. Thanks again guys for making my son's night.

Absolute immaculate service! Came out to Fumo, blu lights, speakers, smoke and all, definitely made the night! 10/10 service, awesome bloke too!

Cooper Wager

Night out

Hired for a car show in Parafield and I will definitely hire them again. Music was a good volume, the mix was great. Family friendly so it makes it even better for a family friendly event.

This guy is very nice and polite and he gives you the right price. I asked him to play a song of my choices and he did it, so I 100% will book him again.

I've personally met Jacob on multiple occasions over the last year and he is one of the most committed and passionate individuals I've had the pleasure of meeting. Not only a top DJ who gives his heart and soul, but a top man.

How much is a wedding DJ in Adelaide?

Wedding pricing depends on how long you need us, your venue, and whether you want extra lighting through the room. The fairest way is to send your date, venue and rough running time through the form, and we'll come back with clear pricing for your night. Shakin is known for giving you pro gear and a DJ who reads the room at a genuinely fair price, not the inflated rates a lot of wedding suppliers charge.

Do you take song requests and a do-not-play list?

Always, and they matter. Send through your must-plays, the songs you never want to hear, and a feel for the night. Jacob works your list into a live mix and reads the floor on the night, so your wedding sounds like you and the dance floor stays full.

Do you provide your own sound and lighting for the reception?

Yes. Every wedding includes a full professional PA and Pioneer DJ setup, plus moving-head and effect lighting with haze to light the dance floor. Tell us your venue and we'll confirm the exact setup that suits the room, indoors or out.
