If you’re a music-loving couple in search of an experienced, alternative DJ to play at your wedding — someone who will take care to include the music that you’re both passionate about — you’ve come to the right place.
“Sláinte na bhfear is go maire na mná go brách”.
Most weddings I play at are for folk who attend festivals like All Together Now, Another Love Story and Body & Soul, or for those familiar with what I play in clubs or on my radio show. Depending on the vibe of your wedding, I can spin disco, soul, funk, house, hip-hop, R&B, indie, synth-pop, guilty pleasures and lost classics from every decade. If you're interested, I can also include techno or other electronic genres.
I offer a DJ-only service and thrive on playing long sets, adapting the music to the changing needs of your dance floor throughout the night, keeping a close eye on the party to make sure that everyone is catered for.
I prefer to avoid most overplayed wedding standards and instead get creative with music choices so that you’ll feel like your dancing to your favourite tunes at a rocking house party. I will customise a soundtrack based on your musical interests and those of your friends and guests, while also dropping plenty of quality, road-tested tracks that have been a hit at recent parties.
I’m aware that weddings include diverse age groups and musical tastes. I will carefully research the specifics of your event to ensure that all your guests feel included. I bring over three decades of DJ experience to the party.
You can listen to various DJ sets & mixes on my Soundcloud and Mixcloud pages, but for something closer to a wedding, check this out this mix from 2017.
And here’s an all-night DJ set recorded at a fun wedding I played at in Kilkenny in 2024.
Please note: I’m only available for DJ-only weddings. I’m completely in my comfort zone playing long DJ sets where I’ll choose music that suits the changing needs of your dancefloor at different stages of the night.

“Nobody in the country will put as much care and thought into what people will hear at your wedding, nobody. On the day he KILLED it. To have aunts, uncles and a granny on the floor for Josh Wink “Higher State Of Consciousness” is the truest testament of bringing people together through music that we have ever seen! We have so much love and gratitude for Cian. So much. ”
Eric & Yvonne
“In dealing with Cian we encountered not only the best DJ we could have asked for, but also hands down the best customer service from all our wedding suppliers. From first contact, through to booking, preparation and ultimately on the night, everything was beyond expectation. We might be biased but it was the best wedding we were ever at”
Paula & Garrett
“We could not have been happier choosing Cian as the DJ for our wedding.
Once we decided to go the less traditional route of a DJ all night (instead of booking a band), Cian proved to be the best choice possible. He fitted all our favourites (Arcade Fire, Pixies, Joy Division and Sultans of Ping FC) seamlessly into the set list, without resorting to the traditional wedding classics, playing continuously for 5 hours, which seemed to go by far too quickly. His professionalism, his expertise, his relaxed attitude and his love of his job made for a flowing set… an amazing night which everyone is still talking about. We could not recommend Cian highly enough.”
Nikita & Barry
“I had a vision for our wedding - a full dance floor at all times. Cian was the only man for the job, and did he deliver! The night was better than we could have imagined. It was the apex and highlight to our wedding. We moshed, jived, raved, pogo-ed, head-banged, twirled and laughed!
You can trust 100% that Cian will deliver on the night, but the work he puts into it beforehand is testament to his professionalism and passion. He is a master of his craft.”
Mary & Paddy
“As festival and music devotees, the music at our wedding was always going to be our main focus. We didn’t like the idea of the typical wedding band followed by middle-of-the-road DJ and agonised for probably too long trying to find a good alternative. As soon as we came across Cian we knew we had found exactly what we were after.
On the night, we had an absolute blast. Highlights included dancing with my 3-year old niece to her favourite Caribou track at the start and head-banging to Rage Against The Machine with our pals at the finale. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dance floor so packed at a wedding from start to finish. It felt like being at the best tent at Body & Soul dancing with all our mates!”
