Weddings in Apollo Bay
Apollo Bay is one of the great Great Ocean Road destinations. Its fishing harbour, long curved beach and backdrop of Otway hills make a beautiful setting, and the drive in along the coast is part of the experience for guests.
Because it is a few hours from Melbourne, most Apollo Bay weddings become a weekend away. Guests arrive excited and ready to celebrate, and the entertainment needs to be well organised, self-sufficient and able to adapt to whatever the coastal weather brings.
As your Apollo Bay wedding DJ and MC, James handles the travel and setup, welcomes guests who have come a long way and turns the reception into the highlight of the weekend.
On the day
We allow plenty of time for the drive along the coast, arrive early and set up without rushing. Ceremony sound is tested first, then the reception is ready well before guests sit down.
James welcomes everyone, introduces the bridal party and keeps the speeches and dinner on time. After the first dance the music builds, and the party carries on into a memorable night by the sea.
What’s included
Music for a destination crowd, built around your favourites and read live.
Hosting that welcomes travelling guests and keeps the night running smoothly.
Weather-ready sound for beach, hilltop and garden ceremonies.
Lighting that brings a function room or marquee to life after dark.
Local know-how
The Great Ocean Road is slow and winding. Give guests and suppliers plenty of time, and avoid an early ceremony after a long drive.
Conditions can change quickly between the Otways and the coast. Have a sheltered or indoor back-up for the ceremony.
Summer and holiday weekends fill fast. Lock in rooms for your guests as soon as you have a date.
Wedding settings
Apollo Bay couples choose from beachfront and harbour-side settings, function venues and restaurants in town, and properties in the Otway hinterland with sweeping views back to the coast. Remote properties need careful planning around power, access and setup times, which we work through with you early.
Remote and coastal venues have their own considerations, so start with our questions to ask your venue and plan your night with our sample reception timeline.

Highly recommend James for any occasion you need a DJ and MC. He recently did our wedding and was not only lovely to deal with but absolutely hit the mark with the music. He was also very understanding and didn’t bat an eyelid when there was a last minute change to the ceremony music.
