Wedding DJ in Crete

Music, sound and lighting for weddings in Chania, Heraklion, Rethymno and Elounda.

Planning a wedding in Crete?

Your wedding DJ in Crete

Crete is big enough to feel like its own country: olive groves and stone estates in the west, beach resorts in the north, quiet villages in the hills. Weddings here are usually long, warm and generous, and the dance floor needs a DJ who can carry the night from the cocktail hour to the last song.

I bring the full DJY Events setup to Crete: DJ, professional sound for the ceremony and speeches, dance floor lighting and fairy light installations, planned with your venue before the day.

Chania & the west

Venetian harbour views, olive estates and villas on the Akrotiri peninsula and around Chania.

Heraklion, Rethymno & Elounda

Beach resorts and hotels along the north coast, from Rethymno to Elounda and Mirabello Bay.

Getting the setup there

Equipment travels by overnight ferry from Piraeus to Chania or Heraklion. Travel and transport are quoted in your proposal.

A dance floor for every generation

Cretan weddings often bring together a large group of family and friends, and many couples marry here with guests from abroad. I blend international hits with the Greek songs your family loves and keep the dance floor full for every age group.

For outdoor venues, the sound system is set up to fill the dance floor clearly without disturbing the dinner tables, and the lighting is planned around the space you have.

How it works

  1. Send your date, venue and guest count.
  2. We talk about your music, your guests and the timeline.
  3. You receive a proposal with sound and lighting planned for your venue.
  4. We finalise the music brief and the schedule together before the wedding.
  5. On the day, everything is set up and sound-checked before your guests arrive.

Everything from one team

DJ performance, professional sound for the ceremony and speeches, dance floor lighting, fairy light installations and cold sparks & effects, all designed together for your venue.

Yiannis made our wedding exceptional! We never stopped dancing

Deciding upon a Dj for our wedding was, next to food, our most important priority. We wanted to make sure that the celebration would be accompanied by the right tone and vibe and that the party wouldn’t blow over as the time passed. Yiannis was the best choice we could have made. Very professional, warm and sharp when we conveyed the tone we were aiming for. He got the total sense and went along with it. The celebration had no moment of musical mismatch or need of alignment. To all the brides: he will stay “loyal” to your vision and will not follow anyone’s request without consulting you. We truly recommend him🫶🏻

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Yiannis, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From the very first interaction, he was responsive, attentive to my wishes, and truly understood how to set the perfect tone for the celebration.The music was flawlessly curated and timed — creating an atmosphere that was both elegant and full of energy. My guests were on the dance floor all night, and many told me afterward it was the best party they’d ever been to. The transitions were smooth, the sound quality was top-notch, and Yiannis clearly has a gift for reading the crowd and keeping the momentum going.What really stood out was Yiannis’ calm, professional demeanor paired with a genuine passion for creating an unforgettable experience.If you're looking for someone who will elevate your event with talent, heart, and professionalism — look no further. Yiannis helped make my party magical.

We are still buzzing from the amazing energy Yiannis brought to our event! From the moment the music started, the party did not stop. Every track was a hit, every transition flawless, and he somehow managed to keep everyone on the dance floor—young, old, and everyone in between. Best Dj ever!

Yiannis is, above all, a wonderful person,reliable, cooperative, and truly a joy to work with. He genuinely wants people to have a good time, and he absolutely succeeds in making that happen. With him, we created the most amazing birthday party. My guests danced non-stop for seven hours!

Wonderful DJ!! My now husband and I really enjoyed his music and entertainment! Our guests did not stop talking about the music at our wedding! Highly recommended!! Ευχαριστούμε πολύ Γιάννη!!

Gianni kept the party going, mixing lots of different genres together to appease a very international crowd (this is a hard gig but he aced it) the dance floor was on fire, he kept it interesting and no one could resist. Everyone was amazed.

Best wedding dj, all guest dancing all night!

DJ Yiannis was the DJ for my best friends wedding on Paros! He flew out from Athens and was INCREDIBLE! Amazing song choices/mixes and kept the party going all night. The dance floor was FULL and even came out to our after party after the wedding to DJ!! Couldn’t recommend him enough!!

Amazing DJ. We had the best time!
