The live set ends. The music does not. Keep your dance floor full with a seamless DJ finish.
Tell us your date and venue and we’ll confirm within 24 hours.
An after-band DJ keeps your wedding moving when the live set finishes. There is no awkward pause, no change of room, and no moment when guests wonder whether the night is over. The final live song lands, the DJ takes over, and the same dance floor carries on through the late-night part of the celebration.
The after-band set is the recorded-music part of your evening, beginning immediately after the live band. It gives you the impact of live musicians for the main reception and the range of a DJ for the finish. That means club favourites, current tracks, throwbacks, singalongs, and songs that would not naturally sit in a live band's repertoire can all become part of the same night.
It is not a separate event bolted onto the end. We treat the band and DJ as one continuous piece of entertainment. The running order, sound, and handover are planned together, with one clear goal: keep the room feeling full and the celebration moving.
The DJ starts as the live set ends, so there is no dead air while guests are ready to dance.
The DJ can move across styles and decades while responding to the people in front of them.
Book the band and DJ together, then plan the music and timings through one team.
The handover is where a combined package earns its keep. Because the DJ service is part of the same evening plan, the music can begin immediately after the band's final number. There is no second supplier arriving late, no unfamiliar setup being assembled in front of your guests, and no silence while people drift away from the dance floor.
We agree the running order with you and coordinate the practical details with your venue. On the night, the live set builds towards its finish and the DJ picks up the energy that is already in the room. The change feels natural because it has been considered before the first guest arrives.
Most evenings follow a simple shape: your first dance opens the live portion, the band plays the main sets, and the DJ takes over after the final live song. From there, the DJ continues until the venue's permitted music finish time. We do not quote one universal curfew because each venue and date can be different.
Your final schedule depends on when dinner and speeches finish, how the venue runs the room, and the permitted finish time. If earlier parts of the day run late, the available entertainment window can become tighter. Our wedding music timeline shows how those parts fit together and where delays tend to affect the band and DJ.
Before the wedding, we confirm the plan with you and work with the venue on access, setup, and timing. You know when the live set is expected to finish, when the DJ begins, and what the venue allows at the end of the night.
Your preferences give the DJ a useful starting point. Send us the songs and artists you love, a small number of must-plays, and anything you definitely do not want. You do not need to build every minute of the set. A clear steer is usually more helpful than a rigid playlist because it leaves room to read the dance floor.
Guest requests can be considered on the night when they suit your brief and the mood in the room. The DJ balances those requests with what is working, changes direction when the crowd needs it, and avoids forcing a track simply because it appeared on a long list. The result still feels personal, but it can breathe like a real party.
Most couples who want both choose our full evening package: the live band performance followed immediately by our professional DJ service. It is the straightforward way to get the live peak and the late-night range without asking two suppliers to coordinate the crucial handover.
Your quote reflects the package, date, venue, travel, finish time, and any logistics that change the plan. We do not publish a made-up flat price for every wedding. See the Wedding Band Pricing Guide for the ranges and inclusions we already use, or read our band vs DJ guide if you are still deciding which format suits your reception.
