Vendor Spotlight: Music With Memories – The DJ Who Brings the Party
Every great wedding needs that one person who can read the room, crank the vibe, and get ALL the guests on the dance floor before dessert. Enter Shannon from Music with Memories - DJ, MC, and all-round party starter.
How It All Began
Shannon’s love affair with music started early. By 10 years old, he was already drumming away with a natural ear for rhythm. That beat obsession soon evolved into DJing, and fast-forward a decade later, he’s still at it - running a full-time family business alongside his wife Nat (The Photo Booth Girl and The Event Hire Girl). Together, they’ve built a one-stop wedding party powerhouse.
Why Couples Love Him
Shan’s not just there to press play - he’s there to create an atmosphere. He thrives on packed dance floors, epic first dances with dry ice, and those magic moments where the whole room is buzzing. His energy, professionalism, and knack for reading the crowd mean there’s never a dull moment.
Best Bits & Craziest Moments
When asked about the wildest things he’s seen, Shan admits the list is long. He’s worked alongside drummers, dancers, fire twirlers, and more. He’s spun tracks at massive weddings with jam-packed floors and at intimate celebrations with just a handful of guests. For him, every wedding has a “best moment.” One favourite? A bridesmaid and groomsman swapping outfits for their grand entrance - totally unexpected, totally hilarious.

His Secret Weapon Question
Most DJs ask for a couple’s favourite songs. Not Shannon. He asks for the ones they absolutely hate. Because knowing what not to play gives him the perfect roadmap to hit every right note on the night.
Trends He’s Loving
Mid-week weddings are on the rise - and Shan’s here for it. Not only does it open up more date options for couples, it also means more opportunities for him to do what he does best: help couples throw the party of their lives.
Insider Advice
Shan’s top tip? Hire a professional MC. It sets the tone for the whole day and keeps everything running smoothly. From heartfelt moments to full-blown dance-floor chaos, a good MC makes the world of difference.
