Great Music Makes Memories
‘We were very fortunate to have James provide his DJ expertise at our son Nathan‘s 21st celebrations recently. From the first point of contact online, I found James to be engaging, professional and more than capable to answer my questions. The music selection on the night was a success as we couldn’t decide what to pick, leaving it to James to put together a fantastic playlist across all genres, that set a fun ambiance to the night and had our guests up and dancing.I would highly recommend Only DJ’s Melbourne to any event and if the opportunity arose, I would hire them again – thank you James!’ – Lena Berias Google Review

We Are Taking Things Back Old School! You Can Now Request Turntables With Your Booking!
Add Turntables to your DJ Booking
Would you like to have your wedding DJ spin tunes on turntables? You now can!
We are now providing Turntables on request pending availability for events. We can rock your night and put on a show whilst using our turntables.
We do have a surcharge for providing this awesome old school true DJ service that starts at $295.
Why do we charge extra for Turntables?
Djing on turntables takes more skill than your average DJ has. To beatmatch and get the timing right is an artform. It takes finesse to master mixing any style of music with turntable’s, which means you will be getting the very best in entertainment.
When DJing with Turntables it does add a lot of time to set them up and to calibrate them accordingly.

James was great and even helped us control a very rowdy and difficult crowd. Very grateful for James DJ service at such short notice. Highly recommend him!
Stephanie Axiaq
We recently hired Only Djs (jacob) for our family event, and they were fantastic! From start to finish, they created a lively atmosphere that had everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. Jacob was professional, easy to work with, and understood the vibe we were aiming for. They kept a great mix of songs that appealed to all ages, even taking requests on the spot and adapting seamlessly to the crowd’s energy. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music, and it added a wonderful, memorable touch to our celebration. Highly recommend for any event where you want a fun, engaging DJ!
Melanie Wilson
Great service, professional set up and perfect party games host. We loved the selfie booth too! James was absolutely fantastic
Emily Magri
Wow where to even start! We are incredibly grateful for choosing James as our DJ & MC for our wedding. From the very start communication from James has been phenomenal to say the least. The atmosphere he brought to our special day was amazing and so many of our guests are still raving about him and our Photo Booth. If you're looking for someone who knows how to bring the vibes and read the room then we HIGHLY recommend Only DJ’s Melbourne for your next event !! You will not be disappointed 😁
Maddi Mason
James was the MC and DJ for our wedding at Dromana Estate in May 2024. We couldn't recommend James more!! We had a modern Greek-Australian wedding and James ticked all the boxes! As an MC, James was funny, engaging and kept the vibe light hearted throughout the evening. As a DJ James took the time to speak with us leading up to our wedding and played all our favourite songs plus got all our guests involved with some traditional Greek dancing and plate smashing! It was the most perfect evening and my husband and I couldn't recommend Only DJ's more. Every interaction we had with James was easy, keeping our minds at ease the whole time! Thank you!!
Ashley Chrisanthopoulos
We can’t thank James enough for making our wedding so memorable. James did everything we asked, constantly checked in on us through the night, was attentive, read and engaged the crowd. Thank you James for everything 🙏🏼

Huge thank you to James Ellis for being an incredible MC and DJ for our wedding.

Adam Sabin
James was a professional host and very good at his job. He was accommodating and blended with the genre chosen. He had everyone dancing and thoroughly enjoying the night. Thanks James
Beck Louise
James is amazing. He is professional and organised. He is a hard working, kind and genuine individual, who you would be lucky to have at your wedding. We hired him for SFX, photobooth, dj, and MC. Having him provide so many services allowed the booking and planning to be so easy which is also a main reason why we decided to go with Only DJs. I highly recommend James to anyone, and if we require a dj again will would go with him.
Nicole Guy
James absolutely saved our event! He jumped in with less than 24 hours notice and absolutely made the night. The event was for a school formal and James had the kids dancing all night long. He was extremely professional and communicative. Thank you so much James, we will definitely be utilizing your services in the future.
Samantha Weir
We used James for a family fun day and he was brilliant! The service was fantastic, and the music was perfect for what we needed. No request was too difficult. Would definitely use again, and recommend to others.
Eug Ski
Best wedding DJ in Melbourne! Highly recommend the team at Only DJ's Melbourne, they rocked our night!
Zey Akgul
When I first contacted Only DJ’s, I expected a response to my query the next day at the earliest. Especially considering the hour I sent it in. Instead, I got a response in minutes.Thinking the speed of responses would be a novelty since I was a new client, my surprise at ongoing extremely quick turnaround was immense!James had been incredibly helpful, very quick in acknowledgment and diligent with his follow ups. The DJ of our night, Steven, was a godsend; he had such high energy and positive, easy going vibes, that it set the tone for the music, the dance floor and eventually our night.Both me and my partner had been extremely happy with our selection, and grateful that we came across these guys.I can, with ease of heart, highly recommend them.✨
Mr T
James was the perfect choice for our wedding music. He responded quickly to our questions and requests, and paid attention to every detail. He made us feel relaxed and confident, even when we were stressed out by the wedding planning. He was not only a great DJ, but also a supportive wingman, a lively hypeman, and a skilled coordinator. He was a true professional and a joy to work with. We highly recommend him!
Paps Manikhot
Thank you James for weaving your DJ magic for 50th. You got the crowd going and listened to what we wanted. Highly recommended.

Having James help DJ and MC our wedding was an awesome experience. He really helped warm up the crowd and get them involved with all the activities we had organised. He is very organised making the entire process a breeze organising. Was an immense pleasure having him part of our special day.
Alex Minoale
Very professional and amazing attitude. Great music mixes and sound quality. Read the room perfectly and played the most appropriate music. Love your work James!
Liz Meletiou
Great night! It was a lot of fun! Thank you!
Kerri Parker
James DJ’d for a large school event with over 230 students and I thought at the time he was fantastic. His music choices and openness to requests was excellent. It was the following school day when the students commented how good the music was that I knew I needed to lock James in for future events. I would recommend him if you are looking to entertain a crowd of any size.
Elijah Ben
Can't recommend Only DJ's high enough! James was super friendly and just an excellent DJ who knew exactly what to do
Mel Grose
We recently had DJ James and saxophonist Imre at our wedding. The whole night was so smooth thanks to James’ attention to detail. He went above and beyond, nothing was too much. He adapted so well when our timeline was running a little behind on the night and was full of great advice on the day. He was a calming presence and we honestly felt like he was a huge contributor in the success of our night! Also, his music was AWESOME and the dance floor was a huge hit all night. Highly recommend his saxophonist Imre aswell, who was also excellent. I would highly, highly recommend Only DJ’s
Hannah Capsalis
Highly highly highly recommend James. From the very moment I enquired with him he went above and beyond. Replying always within a few hours the communication being so consistent led to me being a less stressed bride. Throughout our wedding reception as our DJ and MC he read the crowd perfectly ensuring everyone was enjoying the night, he regularly checked in with me the bride to make sure I was happy with everything too. The biggest stand out was how well he read the room and his expertise allowed us to have the reception of our dreams. So many guests complimented the layout of our reception which was guided by James.Also a special shoutout to the amazing setup he did as well, the equipment looked so gorgeous in the stunning room at Vogue Ballroom.
Amy Ong

Ellis Kolias
James is truly a gentleman and an expert at what he does.We were lucky enough to have him as both our DJ and MC on the night of our wedding and I can not recommend him enough. He was funny, entertaining and got a room with a mixed demographic to dance to multiple styles of music. It was no easy task but the dance floor was full the entire night.His dedication to his craft, his attention to detail and his transparency are nothing short of incredible.From day 1, he was incredibly easy to communicate with and was always willing to offer some advice to my wife and I.He made our big night one to remember. He made us feel comfortable and was in control of everything that was stressing us out.I will recommend him to all my family and friends and will entrust his impeccable work again for any future events.James - you're a superstar and a Levendi! 🇬🇷I will remember you for the rest of my life. 10/10.
Natalie T
A massive thankyou to James for being the most organised, approachable DJ/MC there is. Anything we needed leading up to our big day, James was there and had our back. His DJ/MC skills are a absolute 10/10!!! We would highly recommend having James as your DJ/MC, he definitely will not let you down!
Jordyn Coyne
James was an amazing MC/DJ for our wedding, he always checked up to make sure everything was what we wanted, adjusted the plan if anything changed. He brought great vibes aswell, always keeping everyone entertained and having a great choice of music / when to play what songs at the right moment. Highly recommend for any event!
Shabnum Cassim
We had James DJ at our daughter's 5th birthday disco party over the weekend. He was a pleasure to deal with over emails and provided song lists and suggestions for games. He was very receptive to us providing our own music list too.During the party, he gave our music obsessed daughter an impromptu lesson on DJ-ing before the official event started, he was responsive and warm with all our guests and happy to pivot on additional games and timing as the party progressed throughout the afternoon.Highly recommended - thanks James!
Simon Huynh
James from OnlyDJs was amazing to work with as a DJ and MC! He handled everything smoothly, from managing my crazy ethnic family (despite the language barriers) and keeping the party going. James read the room perfectly, played great music, organized fun games, and even offered some heartfelt advice. He kept everything on schedule and really boosted the vibe, especially hyping my dad during his speech. I highly recommend James and Only DJ's for any wedding or event - they're fantastic!
Theo Dimitriu
James was our DJ and MC for our wedding and we could not be happier. The entire reception ran smoothly and the dance floor was always full of people enjoying themselves. Highly recommended and will absolutely reach out to him again if a DJ and MC is needed.In the lead up to the wedding, James was fantastic. He responded quickly to all our questions, gave us suggestions on how to make things run smoothly and really understood what we wanted and made it happen.During the reception, he guided us through the different formalities which was so appreciated (we were so nervous) and throughout the night he was able to read the room and make small adjustments to keep a nice flow of events. We really appreciated the small things he did, for example before speeches he made sure the tables looked clean, glasses were topped up for toasts, he made sure bridal party were ready and he made nervous speakers feel comfortable and supported to make speeches.We cannot recommend James highly enough. If you are looking for a DJ and MC who will make your event an unforgettable night, look no further.
Justin Durrant
James was amazing, he knows his stuff, our wedding ceremony run smoothly and the reception so much more run. Great organisation and professionalism.
James Tipping
James recent did our wedding on the 26/4/24 and was amazing from start to finish. From the communication, organisation, DJ and MC skills we couldn't be more impressed. He reads the room and plays exactly what gets the guests up and dancing. He kept us updated with the flow of the night and ee would highly recommend him in an instant. Thankyou James for making our night unforgettable not just for us but everyone who attended.

We hired DJ James to play music and provide a photobooth for our Year 10 Formal and it was the best decision ever. Our students and staff had the best time and did not leave the dance floor all night. The photobooth was also perfect and provided us with printed photos as well as GIFs that we could send to ourselves. It was absolutely perfect and we would book the services of Only DJs again in a heartbeat!
DJ James made my husbands 40th a night to remember!!! On point with all song requests, arrived super early to set up!! Was friendly, bubbly and involved himself with all our guests at the party, pretty cool MC aswell! When having another function I’d be sure to book him again! And his price was very reasonable compared to other quotes I got! Well done James and thanks again for an awesome night with awesome tunes!!! – Linda Gatt Google Review

In addition, If you would like to see us in action please check out some of our short videos on YouTube & Instagram. We are sure you will be impressed by how packed the dance floor is at all our events!
