Packages
Packages include all the lighting and sound equipment needed for your event.
Evening Set
Arriving at the venue any time from 5pm to set up (this will take approx. 90 mins). An idea for evening sets is for me to play it like the best house party ever. After all you’ll have your best friends and family around you. I start with a warm up set, tunes to set the atmosphere and to let your guests know the party has started. This will build organically until the first dance (if you’re having one) the choice of first dance and how it happens is completely up to you. Then the main set until close.
All day
Arrival anytime on the day. Includes your chosen music for the ceremony. Then onto the reception (tunes that sound good with a glass of champagne in hand and great company). Next up is the wedding breakfast (chilled instrumental Jazz and Acoustic) into a warm up set (Funk, Soul, Swing and Hip Hop) Then finally the evening set and everything that will make you and your guests dance to the very end. (All playlists Styles and genres are bespoke with your input).

Mileage, all packages include a 50 mile round trip from central Bristol. Any further miles are charged at 50p per mile.
I believe that anyone you involve in your big day or event should be someone you actually want to have around. For this reason, I offer a no-obligation Skype/Zoom call or in-person visit so we can get to know each other a little better and discuss your requirements before you commit to booking.
Already committed to booking or just a lil shy? All good! Just send me an email with your enquiry, or book now.
The Speaker Box Approach
DJ equipment and lighting is included with all DJ bookings. Marcus live mixes all music using his Technics turntables with a Pioneer DJM S-11 and Serato DJ Pro then plays it out on a Maui 44G2 sound system.
It is this combination of new technology and a traditional turntable set-up that is an absolute winner. It provides a real hands-on spectacle for your guests and enables Marcus to feel part of the party.
Also included in all bookings is intelligent lighting that brings your venue to life and enhances the dancefloor experience. All lighting is programmed in advance of your event to the individual song tracks and colour scheme. Soundswitch is used for this.
For more information on available audio visual and DJ equipment, check out the Booking and pricing page.
No two Speaker Box playlists are ever the same. For every event he DJs at, Marcus curates a set of tracks that is personally tailored to you, your tates, your guests and the vibe you want to create.
To do this, Marcus will dedicate time ahead of your wedding or event to talk through your musical requirements to make sure the music played is exactly what you want to hear. If you’re looking to throw a next-level party or simply require a sophisticated musical backdrop, Marcus’ extensive music knowledge and selection of tracks ensures your guests will have the perfect party experience.
No matter what type of party you’re throwing, you want the music to flow. No dodgy mixes or embarrassing pauses. Just seamless mixing.
That’s exactly what you get with Speaker Box. Bringing a passion for his craft and years of DJing experience, it’s no wonder Marcus is one of the most highly sought after private party DJs around.
His musical knowledge combined with his ability to seamlessly mix even the most unexpected tracks, gets people of all ages partying.
No hunching over a laptop pressing buttons at a Speaker Box party. Live mixing your favourite tracks is what Marcus loves to do best.
For weddings and parties, I DJ using Serato Scratch Live with a RANE 62 mixer and Technics turntables. This enables me to DJ exactly how I would in a club, but with access to my extensive library of tracks.
Sound comes courtesy of my BOSE system. If your venue already has a PA sound system installed and they stipulate that the DJ has to use it, that’s fine. As long as it is suitable for a DJ performance, I’ll happily plug into it.
Set-up and break-down of equipment is always seamless and discreet.
I can supply tasteful – but exciting – lighting, including uplighting, which is great for highlighting architectural features – or adding general ambiance.
I don’t use dotty lights or lasers that can ruin photographs. Most of my lighting is ‘colour wash’, and is wifi-controlled and battery powered. This means it can be placed anywhere in your venue without the need to tape cables to the floor.
Lighting can also be scripted to your first dance.
