Do you travel outside Hertfordshire?

Yes – while Hertfordshire is my home base, I regularly perform for weddings in Essex, Cambridgeshire, and London. I also travel across the UK for select events, with travel expenses and accommodation added where applicable.

How far in advance should we book you?

Popular wedding dates can book up to 12–18 months in advance, so it’s best to secure your date as early as possible. However, I occasionally have short-notice availability – feel free to check anytime.

Can we choose our own music?

Absolutely! Every playlist is personalised to match your taste and the energy you want for your night. You can share must-plays, genres, and do-not-plays, and I’ll handle the flow, mixing, and crowd-reading on the night.

Do you offer lighting and setup options?

Yes – I provide a range of lighting and setup options to suit your venue and style, including wireless uplighting, elegant booth designs, and complete sound systems for ceremony, dinner, and evening reception.

Old School Hip Hop Wedding DJ – 90s and 2000s Classics for an Unforgettable Celebration

If you’re looking for a hip hop wedding DJ who can bring smooth West Coast vibes, old school throwbacks and the biggest 90s and 2000s anthems to your celebration, you’re in the right place. I create tailored hip hop sets that blend era-defining classics with modern favourites, including artists such as 2Pac, Biggie, Dr. Dre, Missy Elliott, Eminem, 50 Cent and Drake.

Whether you want soulful grooves during your drinks reception or high-energy club moments for your dancefloor, I shape the music around your taste, your guests and the atmosphere you want for the night. Hip hop has been a core part of my DJ style for more than 20 years, and it remains one of the most requested genres at weddings and private events.
