A continuous DJ set
Music continues between the live percussion sets.
DJ & bongo wedding hire
DJ & bongos at Houchins.
At Houchins in April 2026, Darryl played alongside Mike on percussion. DJ and bongos gives you live performance alongside a DJ who can move between all the music you enjoy.
Meet our DJs and live musicians, or add a saxophonist with our DJ, sax & bongo wedding package.
Live bongos with your wedding DJ
The percussionist adds live bongos to the DJ set, responding to the music as it plays.
Bongos work with house and Ibiza classics, as well as disco, R&B and other party tracks. Tell us the music you love and your performers will plan the live sets around it.
How DJ & bongos works.
A live rhythm section
The percussionist plays live over the DJ’s tracks, adding rhythm and a performance your guests can watch up close.
Your preferred music
Share your favourite songs and genres. Your DJ and percussionist use them to plan the evening.
Bongos on the dance floor
Some percussionists can perform among your guests.
If you like the idea of the bongo player joining you on the dance floor, mention it when you enquire. We check the artist, space and equipment, then plan the sets with you.
- Music preferences and key tracks
- Live performance times
- Position and space for the percussionist
DJ & bongo wedding packages
Keep it to DJ & bongos, or bring in live sax as well.
Our DJ, sax & bongo wedding option combines all three. For more wedding music choices, see our wedding entertainment page or meet the musicians.
Sound & lighting that matches the room.
We plan the speakers, percussion setup and lighting together, so the bongos sit clearly in the mix. Equipment is chosen for your venue and guest numbers, with a white DJ booth available.
Lighting can be subtle during the early evening and more prominent once the party starts. We will explain the moving lights, uplighters and LED options and confirm the setup with you.
