Celebrate the yes

An engagement party is often the first time both families and friend groups celebrate together. The music needs to make everyone comfortable, give the toasts a proper moment, and then get the whole room dancing.
I’m Chester, the DJ behind DJ Lopes. Since 2012 I’ve played Auckland celebrations of every size. Booking me for your engagement is also the easiest way to see exactly what you’d get for your wedding.

Two families, two playlists

Engagements often bring two cultures together for the first time. I’ve blended English hits with Samoan, Arabic and other music at Auckland celebrations, so both families feel at home on the dance floor. Send me each side’s favourites and I’ll weave them into the night.
