About Tim the DJ
Tim the DJ is a DJ and saxophonist based in Melbourne who takes bookings across the Yarra Valley. He mixes transitions live instead of running a set playlist, watches how the room responds, and leaves the booth to play sax among your guests. Before entertainment became his full-time work he was in law, and he plans each event with the same attention to detail. There is no agency in the middle, so you deal with Tim from the first message to the final track. Every booking gets a personal online planning page for the genres you like, songs to play or avoid, and the order of the formalities, and he confirms the run of the night with you the week before. His sets travel through house, R&B, disco, pub rock and 90s and 00s tracks, and he can work guest requests in or turn down one that would clear the floor. Wedding bookings come in three tiers. Silver gives you as long as five hours of music, a sound system, a wireless microphone and a playlist shaped around you, while Gold brings in live saxophone. Platinum stretches the night to eight hours and adds music for the ceremony, a battery PA for outdoor vows, a separate setup for canapés, dance-floor lighting, simple MC duties and half an hour of overtime if you ask. Beyond weddings he plays gala dinners, corporate parties, Christmas and end-of-year functions, school formals, uni balls and product launches. For these he brings wireless microphones for speakers and lighting suited to the space.
