KZN WEDDING DJ IN MIDLANDS, DURBAN & CAPE TOWN

" A Good DJ will play the songs you want to hear, A Great DJ will play the songs you didn't even know you wanted to hear"

I’m Jarryd Sunkel, a Professional KZN and Midlands Wedding DJ with over 2 decades of Wedding and Dancefloor experience. Over the past 20 Years, I have built a reputation as one of KZN's most successful and reputable Durban and Midlands Wedding DJ's and offers an exceptional experience to all Bridal Couples.

Achieving success as a KZN Wedding DJ goes beyond simply delivering an incredible party at the end of the night. It’s about focusing on the essential details and giving your guests an experience.
The Secret ingredient is the experience of reading the room and make the right choices at every stage, seamlessly adjusting to any changes, and always being punctual. Above all, it’s about understanding the unique musical preferences of you and your guests to create an atmosphere that everyone will enjoy.
As a dedicated Midlands wedding DJ, rather than a club DJ, I understand the importance of musical diversity. Weddings are a unique celebration that requires professionalism, expertise and most of all, “Wedding etiquette” that only years of genuine wedding DJ experience can provide.
A DJ plays a crucial role in the success of any wedding, which is why I prioritize getting to know my Bridal couples, their personalities and their musical tastes as well as those of the guests. I encourage you to share a list of your favourite songs, ensuring the playlist perfectly aligns with your unique style.
My extensive repertoire includes everything from the latest hits of 2024 to timeless wedding classics. Guests can enjoy popular tracks from artists like Avicii, Flo Rida, and David Guetta, along with beloved golden oldies and sing-alongs later in the evening.

I have covered many of KZN’s favourite Midlands Wedding Venues and are well-known for providing brilliant music, great service & reliability to couples planning their Wedding Celebration. I come highly recommended by many Wedding venues as well as past Couples.
Although based in Durban, I also travel to all parts of South Africa and proud to offer my Wedding DJ services in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

THE PHOTOBOOTH
The KZN Wedding Photobooth is a great way to keep your guests entertained for hours during pre-drinks or during your Wedding Reception. Your guests will receive instantly printed photos with a custom designed template & have a choice of one of our premium photo booth backdrops. Wedding photobooths are also available without booking any of our DJ’s – chat to the team at Photobooth LAB.

PRE-DRINKS 

Pre-drinks at a wedding, often called the "Canapes” or “cocktail hour," is the period between the ceremony and the reception. It typically takes place while the couple is having their post-ceremony photos taken, allowing guests to mingle, enjoy drinks, and unwind before the formal reception begins. I provide a great, compact PA System with a easy listening playlist, perfect for your guests to enjoy whilst you away with yoru Photographer.

Where to even begin... Jarryd's service completely blew my husband and I's expectations out the park. Not only was the party an absolute hit but the service we experienced before our big day was beyond our wildest dreams. Jarryd and Emma made us feel so at ease and relaxed with our choice and they were always up for a good chat/catch up! We can not thank you enough for being part of our special day and making it 1000% better. All our guests have commented on what an absolute party it was! The addition of the Photobooth was such a hit and now we have all the photos to keep as part of our memories. Thank you thank you thank you for absolutely everything.

I would without hesitation HIGHLY recommend Jarryd and the KZN wedding DJ team, thank you SO much for the incredible experience provided for our wedding. Jarryd was so understanding through our postponements because of Covid, and his communication (over nearly three years of planning!) was brilliant throughout. Jarryd’s character shines through as the most enthusiastic and ultimate professional, and we could not have made a better choice for our DJ. Loads of our guests commented on how awesome the party was and that was thanks to Jarryd. The photobooth was also a huge success and produced loads of hilarious photos of our guests which we loved. This is one of those times when 5 stars just isn’t enough. You are the absolute best!!!

Jarryd was such a champ throughout our covid journey to eventually get married! He was so accommodating and definitely helped us stay motivated to eventually get that dream wedding we were dying to have! His energy and vibrant personality kept the dance floor going and made us feel like rockstars! A big plus is the awesome photo booth that his wife Emma runs, it’s honestly the best thing we could’ve done! The combo is just a MUST HAVE! It brought so many laughs and memories we will never forget! The biggest Thank You to you both! It was definitely a day we will never forget!

Jarryd is definitely the best in the business! We had such a fun night, as soon as the party started we didn’t leave the dance floor! All of our guests had the best time and commented on the amazing dance floor vibes
I’ve already had multiple engaged friends asking for Jarryd’s number for their day!
On top of that, our photo booth photos are some of our favourite memories of the night! I 100% recommend getting a photo booth too, your friends will have so much fun and you’ll have photos to treasure forever

Jarryd was the most eccentric, passionate and fully invested member of our wedding party. When we first met, we could see the passion and enthusiasm radiating, and we knew we were in good hands. His ability to adapt, read the room and just full on have a good time is second to none. He made the wedding we had the party it was, no doubt. Jarryd, we thank you from the the bottom of our hearts for giving us the time of our lives. Anyone looking for a wedding DJ should look no further

PROFESSIONAL LIGHTING

My Lighting setup includes professional DMX Intelligent LED Moving Heads and Parcan lighting for the Dancefloor. Our Lighting choice includes the use of an LED Bar which gives any venue a great "colour wash" and a range of effect lighting which beams through the Haze.  I also offer non-flamable Cold Spark Fountain Effects Units which are perfect for your First Dance. It creates an unfortgettable photographic experience for photographers to capture  "The Lift" or "The Dip". 
DMX lighting can significantly enhance the ambiance and mood of a wedding, offering several key benefits:

Dynamic Control: DMX lighting allows for precise control over individual lights or groups of lights. This means lighting can be easily adjusted to match different parts of the wedding, like the ceremony, dinner, and dancing.
Customization: You can change colors, intensity, and lighting effects to match the wedding theme, venue design, or even specific moments. For instance, warm, soft lighting can create an intimate atmosphere during the ceremony, while vibrant, colored lights can energize the dance floor.
Enhanced Decor: DMX lighting can highlight key features of the venue, such as centerpieces, the wedding cake, or floral arrangements, making them more prominent and visually appealing.
Special Effects: DMX-controlled lights can produce effects like strobing, color transitions, and moving lights, adding a unique element to the celebration, particularly during the reception and dance party.
Seamless Integration: DMX lighting systems can be integrated with music and other entertainment, syncing lights with the rhythm of the music, enhancing the overall experience.

WEDDING PHOTOBOOTHS

Having a photobooth at your wedding adds an extra layer of fun and excitement to your celebration, creating lasting memories for both you and your guests. It provides entertainment during moments like pre-drinks or the reception, giving your guests a fun activity to enjoy while capturing candid moments. Photobooths also offer a unique keepsake, as guests can take home instantly printed photos customized with a template designed specifically for your event. These photos not only serve as souvenirs but also add a personal touch, reflecting your style and the spirit of the day.

In addition, a photobooth creates a relaxed environment where guests can let loose and enjoy themselves, often resulting in spontaneous, fun-filled pictures that you wouldn’t get from a professional photographer alone. It also encourages interaction among guests, helping to break the ice and foster a lively atmosphere. Overall, a photobooth enhances the wedding experience, leaving everyone with cherished memories in the form of both digital and printed photos.

As the founder of Photobooth LAB, If you choose to book another DJ for your Wedding, we still offer this brilliant service to all couples.
