You can book a Malay DJ, or an Indian and Bollywood DJ, for a wedding, an engagement, a Hari Raya gathering, a Deepavali party or a corporate cultural night in Singapore. These DJs play the songs your family expects next to the chart hits younger guests want, and they know when each one belongs in the night.
Price: a DJ with their own sound system for up to 100 to 150 guests usually costs SGD 500 to 1,000 for a 3 to 4 hour event, and a 5 to 6 hour wedding banquet SGD 1,200 to 1,800. See how much a DJ costs in Singapore.
Malay DJs
A Malay DJ blends traditional Malay wedding songs with modern pop and dance music. At a Malay wedding the DJ plays for the arrival of guests, the entrance of the couple, the bersanding on the dais and the makan, then the party songs once the formal part is done. A kompang style entrance can be cued with the music. Malay DJs also play corporate events, private parties and cultural celebrations, and can bring lighting from colourful LED lights to soft uplighting.
If your programme has speeches and games, book an emcee who speaks English and Malay next to the DJ. See wedding DJ in Singapore for how the DJ and emcee share the night.
Indian and Bollywood DJs
A Bollywood DJ plays Indian weddings, engagements, sangeet nights, Diwali parties and cultural events. The DJ mixes classic Bollywood songs with Punjabi beats, hip-hop, EDM and fusion remixes. That mix keeps older and younger guests on the floor. Timing matters at Indian weddings: the DJ cues the bridal entrance, the couple's first dance and any choreographed family performance, so each one starts on the right beat.
If your celebration includes Bhangra, tell the DJ how much of the night you want in Bhangra, how much in Bollywood and how much in English pop.
Mixed weddings
Many Singapore weddings bring Chinese, Malay, Indian and Western families together. One DJ can carry Mandopop for a photo montage, a Malay entrance, a Bollywood block and Top 40 for the after-party, if you plan the order in advance. The music planning session happens 4 to 6 weeks before the wedding. Bring your must-play list, a do-not-play list and the order of the programme.
