I’m Jarryd Sunkel, a Professional Wedding DJ in the KZN Midlands with over 2 decades of Wedding and Dancefloor experience. Over the past 20 Years, I have built a reputation as one of KZN's most successful and reputable Durban and Midlands Wedding DJ's and offers an exceptional experience to all Bridal Couples.
Achieving success as a KZN Wedding DJ goes beyond simply delivering an incredible party at the end of the night. It’s about focusing on the essential details and giving your guests an experience they wll remember.
The key ingredient is the experience of reading the room and make the right choices at every stage, seamlessly adjusting to any changes, and always being punctual. Above all, it’s about understanding the unique musical preferences of you and your guests to create an atmosphere that everyone will enjoy.
As a dedicated Midlands wedding DJ, rather than a club DJ, I understand the importance of musical diversity. Weddings are a unique celebration that requires professionalism, expertise and most of all, “Wedding etiquette” that only years of genuine wedding DJ experience can provide.
A DJ plays a crucial role in the success of any wedding, which is why I prioritize getting to know my Bridal couples, their personalities and their musical tastes as well as those of the guests. I encourage you to share a list of your favourite songs, ensuring the playlist perfectly aligns with your unique style.
My extensive repertoire includes everything from the latest hits of 2024 to timeless wedding classics. Guests can enjoy popular tracks from artists like Avicii, Flo Rida, and David Guetta, along with beloved golden oldies and sing-alongs later in the evening.
I have covered many of KZN’s favourite Midlands Wedding Venues and are well-known for providing brilliant music, great service & reliability to couples planning their Wedding Celebration. I come highly recommended by many Wedding venues as well as past Couples.
Although based in Durban, I also travel to all parts of South Africa and proud to offer my Wedding DJ services in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Jarryd and his wife Emma (photobooth) were absolutely amazing! From the first time we interacted right through to our wedding day, they were there every step of the way. Not only as vendors, but as friends. It was a privilege to have Jarryd keep our guests dancing the whole night.
We highly recommend Jarryd as your DJ for your special day, and definitely don't forget the photobooth, what an experience! Our guests absolutely loved it.
All our love, Jaryd & Sue
The best DJ in KZN!! Not only did Jarryd keep us on the dance floor all night, he also provided an entertaining & memorable photo booth for our guests to enjoy. Jarryd made us feel at ease leading up to the wedding day, regularly checking in on us and answering any questions we had. I highly recommend Jarryd to any future bridal couple!!
Jarryd & Emma, you two are the best!
Our day was an absolute blast, and we honestly couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you so much for rolling with our last-minute changes and making everything run so smoothly. We had the best time.
The Photo Booth was so special to us. We had so many laughs looking through all the photos—those memories are priceless! ✨
Your energy and teamwork (I guess that’s why you’re celebrating 5 years of marriage!) made everything feel effortless, and it really set the perfect tone for the day. We’d book you both 100 times over!
Thank you for working so graciously at Haycroft, having vendors who know and work with the venue often and work so well with other vendors, made SUCH a huge difference to the day.
We’d highly recommend the KZN Wedding DJ – both Jarryd & Emma were fantastic! From our first interactions with Jarryd right through to our wedding day, everything was handled professionally and effortlessly all the way from the ceremony to reception. Jarryd was always just a call away and super happy to share his advice on what would work best for our special day. We, along with our guests, had the most incredible time celebrating long into the night. Jarryd, you absolutely nailed the vibe – Thank you so much!
From start to finish, Jarryd and his team delivered an outstanding performance that made our event truly unforgettable! From the moment we reached out, he was incredibly professional and attentive, taking the time to understand exactly what we wanted for our special day.
Not only was the music spot-on, but the setup was also top-notch. The sound quality was crystal clear, and the lighting added a fantastic ambiance to the event. It was evident that Jarryd uses high-quality equipment and pays attention to every detail.
What really set Jarryd apart was his friendly and approachable demeanor. He was flexible and accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The entire experience was stress-free, and we were able to enjoy every moment of the celebration thanks to his expertise.
I can't recommend Jarryd and his team highly enough. If you're looking for someone who will bring energy, professionalism, and an unforgettable vibe to your event, look no further!
Jarryd and Emma, where do I even begin? From day one you were always so helpful, giving us advice and very helpful suggestions. You were so happy to answer my endless questions! Thank you for making our wedding a night we will never ever forget. The music was fantastic and you just knew how to work with our guests. We all have very sore feet this morning thanks to your superb DJ skills! And that beautiful uplighting turned our venue into the most beautiful dance floor, so magical! Your excitement and passion for what you do is contagious and everyone just got amazing vibes from you. Once again, thank you my friend, it was such an honour having you there on our special day. Lots and lots of love, Clarice and Aristo
Literally cannot recommend Jarryd enough. From the moment you meet him you know you are in good hands. We used him for our wedding 5 years ago and people are still talking about the music. So when I was planning my husband’s 40th, I didn’t want anyone else. And of course, Jarryd created magic yet again. What a night to remember! Jarryd is truly talented at what he does and his passion shines through. Customer service is excellent and I would recommend him and again and again. Can’t wait for the next party!
