In this episode of Yes to I Do, Lydia Wakefield chats with Grant from Stellar Sounds, a wedding DJ and events specialist, about how music can set the perfect tone for your big day. Grant shares his journey from a young DJ with a passion for indie and rock to becoming a versatile wedding DJ who can blend everything from Motown to modern dance hits. He offers insight into how to personalise your wedding music, keep the dance floor buzzing, and avoid common pitfalls when planning your soundtrack.

Key Takeaways

A Diverse Music Style: Grant has a broad taste in music, from indie and rock to house and commercial dance, ensuring a dynamic atmosphere for every wedding.

Personalising Your Playlist: Couples can curate playlists, but Grant stresses the importance of reading the room and adapting the music to keep guests dancing.

Lighting to Match the Mood: Up-lighting allows couples to personalise the venue’s look with soft lighting to match the colours and vibe of their wedding.

Communication is Key: Grant works closely with couples, offering Zoom calls to discuss music preferences and ensure they’re a good fit for their wedding vision.

Key Moments

“You can’t just play one genre all night—variety is key to keeping everyone engaged.”

“I always ask couples what songs they don’t want—sometimes they have strong reasons for avoiding certain tunes.”

“It’s not just about playing music; it’s about creating an experience and making sure everyone has a good time.”
