I am proud to have been one of the first Midlands DJs to perform at the stunning Haycroft Wedding Venue, situated in the KZN Midlands just off Curry’s Post Road. Haycroft provides a magical setting, offering couples both a serene Forest Ceremony location and an elegant indoor chapel. The canapés deck, overlooking the dam, creates a breathtaking atmosphere for guests to enjoy before the reception. The reception venue itself is beautifully designed, with a fully stocked bar conveniently located near the dancefloor. As a Midlands DJ, I provide tailored music for every stage of your wedding day and offer Cold Spark effects to add an unforgettable, dramatic flair to your First Dance, making your celebration at Haycroft truly one-of-a-kind.
As a KZN Midlands wedding DJ specializing in unforgettable musical experiences, I offer comprehensive sound and PA services for every stage of your wedding at Haycroft Farm. Whether your ceremony is in the serene Forest or the charming Chapel, I provide high-quality music and PA setups to ensure every moment is beautifully enhanced. During the canapes on the Deck overlooking the picturesque dam, I set the atmosphere with a lively, upbeat playlist, creating a warm, inviting ambiance for your guests. As the reception begins, I bring the energy with a full DJ sound and lighting setup, complete with LED moving heads to fill the dance floor with dynamic lighting effects. For those looking to add an extra touch of magic, I also offer an optional Cold Spark effect, adding a unique and exciting element to your celebration.
CEREMONY: Your guests arrival will be welcomed by carefully selected background music, creating an happy and peaceful ambience. The importance of music in every aspect of a wedding, and when it comes to the ceremony itself, you can trust that every song will be perfectly timed and played according to your plan, from the processional to the recessional, and all the special moments in between.
To deliver outstanding sound quality during these memorable moments., I use RCF Speaker Systems, known for their remarkable clarity and performance. Combined with a wireless Shure microphone, ensuring every word and note will be captured with warmth and precision and your ceremony sounds as beautiful as it feels.
CANAPES ON THE DECK: 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.I also offer the SPIN360 as an additional addon to the DJ package. Take a look at how the SPIN360 works here
WEDDING RECEPTION: I Provide a dedicated PA Sound System for each to ensure a Professional and seamless transition between the three different stages of your Wedding, Ceremony, Canapes and Reception. The Reception features the largest of our Sound and Lighting Systems. I have a great selection of easy-listening background music for your Wedding Reception which has been curated to elevate as the night progresses. I provide a Professional, production-class Shure Wireless Microphone on a stand for speeches. I also allow for your Videographer to connect their equipment to ensure crystal-clear audio recording for your Video. Time to party!!! My extensive repertoire includes everything from the latest hits of 2024 to timeless wedding classics. Leading up to your Wedding, you will also be given the opportunity to give us a list of songs that best describe your music tastes. I provide great dancefloor lighting with the option of uplighting and professional intelligent moving heads and Haze effects. You can check out my gallery at some past Wedding Celebrations.

At Haycroft Farm, Pippa and the team strive to make the decision easy. From the location of your "I do's" to choosing dessert, we are here to help you every step of the way

Jarryd & Emma, you two are the best!
Our day was an absolute blast, and we honestly couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you so much for rolling with our last-minute changes and making everything run so smoothly. We had the best time.
The Photo Booth was so special to us. We had so many laughs looking through all the photos—those memories are priceless! 😂✨
Your energy and teamwork (I guess that’s why you’re celebrating 5 years of marriage!) made everything feel effortless, and it really set the perfect tone for the day. We’d book you both 100 times over!

Jarryd and his wife Emma (photobooth) were absolutely amazing! From the first time we interacted right through to our wedding day, they were there every step of the way. Not only as vendors, but as friends. It was a privilege to have Jarryd keep our guests dancing the whole night. We highly recommend Jarryd as your DJ for your special day, and definitely don't forget the photobooth, what an experience! Our guests absolutely loved it. All our love, Jaryd & Sue

A sign of a phenomenal DJ is when it is your wedding and you give only a few song suggestions only to spend the entire night on the dance floor jamming to the perfect playlist. Hands down BEST DJ. Photo Booth was beyond worth it too!

Simply outstanding. Jarryd & KZN Wedding delivered seamlessly at our daughter’s wedding at Haycroft farm with such professionalism and ease, reading the energy of the room, ensuring flow constant happy vibes. From a joyous Photo Booth experience, to timeouts announcements made as needed, canapé music designed for the perfect environment and genuine love shown at the ceremony! The reception dance floor remained full and happy throughout and Jarryd created the greatest ebb and flow of modern and oldies that kept everyone engaged and participating until the final bell! Truly recommended and deep gratitude for contributing towards a very special memorable (and perfect) occasion. ???? Brett Yeatman

The best of the best. Jarryd, your energy is infectious and you’re so passionate for what you do! You’re so organised and reliable and I can’t recommend you enough for a wedding, or any corporate event. Thank you for making our special day so amazing, and for letting everything run so smoothly from our ceremony, to canapés to the reception. The dance floor didn’t stop and so many of our guests said that they have never danced so much before at a wedding. The photobooth was also a must have, and such a hit, thanks so much for everything!

To Jarryd and Emma, I have only words of love and gratitude to you both. We could not have asked for a better team!
Our wedding journey with you started before covid and ended up in 2 postponements but your love and support kept us going. Your resilience, love and passion for what you do, is just incredible!
When the chips were down for you and the wedding industry during covid, you remained your positive, incredible self, always motivating us and managing to lighten the situation. One great thing that ever did come out of covid was that you were officially available on our new date, the 1st October 2022. When I first phoned you to ask you to be our DJ, my heart sank when I heard the words "I am booked" and then the second time, but I guess as they say third times a charm It was probably the happiest day of my life (sorry hubby, second happiest day of my life hearing that you could now be at our wedding.
The guests are still raving about you and how they didn't want to get off the dancefloor (they were very grateful to us for the flip flops so they could keep dancing). The photobooth was just incredible and thank you to you and Emma for the priceless memories we will have forever!
J and Emma, keep doing the amazing work you do! Brides and Grooms out there will be blessed to have you at their big day, as we know we sure were!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Love you guys!

A massive thank you to Jarryd from the KZN Wedding DJ! We booked Jarryd over 2 years ago (actually soon after we got engaged haha).
He’s been with us through the covid drama, and having to postpone!
Jarryd was amazing throughout the entire build up to our wedding! And he was absolutely amazing on the actual day! The dance floor was always full and the music was amazing!
Thank you Jarryd for making our night one we will always remember.

We would absolutely recommend Jarryd! Our dance floor was overflowing all night and we couldn’t have asked for a more fun evening. The playlist was absolutely perfect and had our guests from age 5 to 85 jolling all night. Whenever our wedding comes up in conversation, people always mention how amazing our DJ was.
We also had the photo booth which was a real hit! It was so much fun on the evening and it’s so lovely to have the memories to look back on afterwards. We would 100% recommend!
