Jarryd doesn't just keep the party going.. he IS the party!
We had our wedding on new years eve 2022 and were obviously set on finding a DJ that would help make our reception a memorable start to the new year.
We found that and so much more in Jarryd. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and therefore absolutely captured our essence through his work. Jarryd used his experience to help guide our MC with what to do and made us feel so special.
Jarryd and Emma are also well known to all the best wedding vendors in the area and works so well with the whole team.
We truly had the perfect wedding and Jarryd was an integral part of that!

Anyone looking for a wedding DJ in KZN? I can highly recommend Jarryd Sunkel - KZN Wedding DJ. I met Jarryd many years ago when he first started his Wedding DJ'ing. When I attended a wedding on the 1st of February 2025, I was over the moon when I saw who the Bride and Groom had chosen as their DJ for their special day. I knew that this would be a wedding of absolute enjoyment for all.... and that, it most definitely was. Jarryds choice of music was perfect for all age groups who attended. The dance floor was packed from the moment he started to play. His energy and personality added to the success of the evening. Many comments were overheard by guests as to the perfect choice of music. Thank you Jarryd for making it such an incredible evening. You are highly recommended by so many. You are amazing.

Jarryd was absolutely wonderful. He did a great job balancing our music list with "what was working" in terms of getting people to dance and have fun; he was intuitive and easy to work with; and he made each song flow into the next in the best, most fluid possible way. He was absolutely wonderful and we highly, highly recommend him for your special night! Thank you so so much!

We honestly have no words to describe how incredible Jarryd and Emma were! They both went above and beyond to make our wedding something to remember forever! There was not one moment on that dance floor where anyone was not having the time of their lives! The music mixes were on point and Jarryd read the crown as if he knew our family and friends personally!
He was so accommodating in every way and went out of his way to ensure that our night was nothing short of perfect!
Emma, your Photo Booth was the biggest hit and such a great addition to our wedding. Our guests absolutely loved having this captured memory that they can keep forever!
We are so grateful for your efforts and could never have wished for anyone better to create the kind of party we had!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU - you are two incredible people!

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.

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

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! The sound quality is top shelf, and you never missed a beat. 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 x
