About Tennyson Events
Tennyson Events is an Adelaide-based collective of DJs and MCs who come from club, radio and record-label backgrounds, each with more than 20 years behind the decks. They mix on physical records and digital vinyl, scratching and mashing tracks together live, and call themselves club DJs who happen to play functions. Weddings are the core of the work. A booking starts with one or two planning catch-ups and a few hours of playlist building and custom edits, and the DJ you speak to is the DJ who plays. On the day the DJ sets up a speaker and microphone for the ceremony and moves or adds a speaker for canapés. Through dinner they handle the entrances, housekeeping and speeches, then read the crowd once the dance floor opens. The kit includes QSC speakers with a subwoofer where the room needs it, a second smaller speaker for the ceremony, a Sennheiser wireless digital microphone system, uplights synced to every song and a timber DJ booth built by one of the team. Backups cover microphones, battery speakers, cables and music devices, and the venue only needs a power point near the reception area. Outside weddings, the team plays birthdays, engagements, fashion shows and corporate and brand events, from networking soundtracks to energetic brand activations. Travel of up to an hour is built into the price, which takes in venues in McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills.
