About Adrian Joseph Music

Adrian Joseph is a Sydney singer, guitarist and DJ who works as a one-person entertainment team. He performs live acoustic guitar and vocals for ceremonies, canapés and dinner, then moves to the decks for the reception, so a couple briefs one supplier instead of booking a musician and a DJ separately. He has more than 15 years in weddings and events, and song requests are welcome on the night. The wedding packages are published with prices. Taylor covers the ceremony at $660. Fender adds an hour of canapé music at $990. Lakewood adds two 40 minute dinner sets at $1870. The Gibson package at $2750 runs live music from before the ceremony through dinner, then DJ music for the formalities and the dance floor. A DJ-only Pioneer package is $1450 for a five hour wedding reception. For birthdays, corporate functions and other events, the Roland solo, Steinway duo, Pioneer DJ and Kawai live-plus-DJ packages run one to five hours and are quoted on enquiry. Every booking includes the sound system, all instruments and lighting: two professional 12 inch PA speakers on stands suitable for up to 300 guests, a 15 inch subwoofer, ambient performance lighting, dance floor lighting and the DJ mixer and equipment. Adrian learns up to four key songs for the aisle, the register signing, the recessional and the first dance, and works through the reception playlist with the couple beforehand. Prices include GST and are set for weddings in Sydney, with a small travel fee covering fuel and time for events further out on the Central Coast, in the Hunter Valley, on the South Coast or in Canberra.
