The Modern Wedding Experience

New to Hitched, with an established track record across the North East

Rob Agar brings a modern, personal approach to your wedding, combining professional presentation with genuine live-mixing and a strong focus on creating the right atmosphere for you and your guests. With a background spanning weddings, bars, clubs, private celebrations and corporate events, nearly 50 five-star customer reviews across his wider business, and experience at some of the region's leading wedding and event venues, Rob combines great music with a relaxed, professional service. His focus is simple: great music, seamless mixing and a dancefloor full of people having an unforgettable night.

A DJ Who DJs

Rob's background behind the decks means live mixing is at the heart of what he does. He actively mixes throughout the evening, responding to the atmosphere and reading the dancefloor while keeping the music flowing naturally. From the first dance through to the final anthem, each couple's musical preferences and requests are central to the night.

Professional MC & Wedding Announcements

Rob is confident on the microphone and can provide clear, professional announcements throughout the evening when required. From introducing the first dance and cake cutting to welcoming guests onto the dancefloor and making important announcements, Rob handles the microphone confidently and at the right moments. If the venue or wedding party already has someone handling the announcements, Rob is equally happy to work alongside them.

Sleek, Venue-Friendly Presentation

Rob uses professional RCF sound equipment and a sleek, minimalist lighting setup designed to complement rather than dominate the venue. His clean, modern presentation works beautifully across a wide range of wedding spaces, from contemporary venues and modern barns to historic country estates. The result is a professional setup that looks as good as it sounds.

The Digital Selfie Pod

Want to give your guests another way to have fun? An open-air digital selfie pod is available as an optional addition to your evening. With props, a bespoke welcome screen and unlimited digital photos, guests can capture and share memories throughout the night. It is a great complement to the evening's entertainment, while giving couples the convenience of having their DJ and photo booth with one trusted supplier

Stress-Free Planning

From the first enquiry through to the final song, Rob keeps everything straightforward. You'll have clear communication, digital planning tools and plenty of opportunity to discuss your music, timings and special requests. His calm, friendly and professional approach means you can relax knowing that an important part of your evening is in safe hands.

What one recent couple had to say:

"Rob is the man. Had the great privilege of this man DJ'ing at our wedding. He is down to earth, extremely easy to deal with, and that means a lot to anyone while organising a wedding. His communication is timely and accurate and most importantly his end result is spectacular. Doesn't try and take over the place, works with what you want and delivers on everything he says. Thanks again Rob, top bloke. Highly recommended. We will be using again for future events I've no doubt." - Christopher Swindells, Lake Henry Wedding, July 2026

E&C wedding 29.08.26

A massive thank you to Rob, who was the DJ at our wedding at Newton Hall on Saturday!

Rob previously DJ’d at our engagement party last year and had everyone on the dance floor all evening, so we knew we had to book him again for our wedding and he absolutely did not disappoint!

Despite already knowing our music taste from our engagement party, Rob arranged a call with us in the lead-up to the wedding to make sure he understood exactly what we wanted for the day. He was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process and made it so easy for us to share our special song requests and preferences beforehand.

On the night, Rob completely nailed it. The dance floor was packed, the atmosphere was amazing, and the music was exactly what we wanted. He really helped make our evening so much fun and kept the party going all night!

Rob, we honestly cannot thank you enough. Having you DJ both our engagement party and wedding made it even more special, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an amazing wedding DJ!

Amazing DJ

Rob DJ’d our wedding at the beginning of August and he was absolutely phenomenal! He read the vibe of the dance floor perfectly all night and kept the party going right until the very end. He’s incredibly talented, such a lovely guy, and was so professional and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process.

So many of our guests have commented on what an amazing party it was, and I honestly think Rob played a massive part in making it so special. If you want 10/10 vibes, a packed dance floor and an incredible atmosphere all night long, Rob is your man!

Thank you again, Rob you completely exceeded our expectations and helped create so many amazing memories for us and our guests. We couldn’t recommend you highly enough! 😊

Rob was lovely DJing on our wedding party night, and made the day run so smooth, he listened to what we wanted and executed it with ease. Everybody loved the music that was playing and the selfie pod was a massive hit. Fantastic communication skills would definitely book again thank you
