Hi! I’m Dylan Manov, a professional DJ & MC based in Adelaide, dedicated to creating unforgettable wedding celebrations.

Enhance Your Wedding Experience
Every wedding has its standout moments, and for couples wanting to take things further, these enhancements are designed to elevate the energy, atmosphere, and overall experience of your night.
Experience Enhancements:
Content Capture (Dancefloor Video Memories)
Capture the energy of your dancefloor and the moments that often get missed.
While most videographers finish coverage just after the first dance, this add-on focuses on the peak of your celebration when the dancefloor is full, the energy is high, and your guests are fully in the moment captured by me while DJing!
Using GoPro, Insta360, DJI Osmo, etc., I capture short-form video content throughout the night, giving you fun, authentic raw clips that reflect the real atmosphere of your dancefloor, perfect for reliving the night and sharing with friends, family and on socials!

Video DJ Experience
(on top of regular DJ services price)
Take your entertainment to another level with a fully immersive audio-visual experience.
Featuring a 65” display integrated into your setup, this allows for custom monograms, photo slideshows during dinner, and high-energy music video clips once the dancefloor kicks off, creating a dynamic, engaging atmosphere that goes far beyond a standard DJ setup.
This is something very few DJs in Australia offer for weddings, and it immediately sets your celebration apart, giving your reception a unique, modern edge that feels more like a live event than a traditional party.
LED Venue Uplighting
Transform your venue from the moment guests arrive through to a full dancefloor experience later in the night.
This includes eight (8x) LED uplighting PAR fixtures placed strategically around the room to enhance the space with colour and atmosphere, along with additional dancefloor lighting effects designed to build energy as the night progresses.
From elegant ambience during dinner to a vibrant, high-energy party environment, lighting plays a huge role in how your wedding feels — and this upgrade ensures every stage of the night looks as good as it sounds.
Many of these enhancements are already included or can be integrated into the Signature Experience, depending on your vision for the night.
