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!!
Nathan Elliott
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with James! From day one, his communication was top-notch, and his pricing was very reasonable for the quality of service provided.

Highly recommend him for anyone looking for an unforgettable wedding experience!
Ash Balassone
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!

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.

Dimitrios Psyllos
I've seen James in action a number of times and he never fails to live up to the moment. His countless 5 star reviews do little justice as he is a true professional through and through. From his end to end communication, attention to detail and general enthusiasm to the role, Only DJ'S delivers a second to none service. Don't hesitate, make your booking today, Only DJ'S never disappoint. Thank you James!

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.✨
Liz Meletiou
Great night! It was a lot of fun! Thank you!
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!
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.
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.
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.
Eug Ski

Stephanie Vanzin
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!
