Check My Date

Margaret River is the destination wedding region of Western Australia. International couples, Perth couples, eastern-states couples — they all converge on the same set of wineries because the wineries are genuinely that good. Voyager, Leeuwin, Xanadu, Wise — these are venues with their own wedding planners and their own preferred-vendor lists. A wedding DJ working Margaret River has to fit a higher bar than working Great Southern.

One hire, one face — DJ and MC. Margaret River weddings often have more vendors than guests by the time you count caterers, florists, planners, photographers. Bringing two separate audio vendors (DJ and MC) on top is overkill. Starma trained in both and runs the night as one voice — clean run-sheet, one briefing, no handover gaps.

A vintage-and-vineyard read, not a club read. Voyager’s Cape Dutch Manor doesn’t want big-room dance energy. Neither does Leeuwin’s Art Gallery, or the indoor-outdoor flow at Xanadu. The right tone is in the middle — and that middle is what Starma’s been doing for over three decades, across more than 800 weddings.

Honest about the travel. Tenterden base to Margaret River is about 4 hours. This is a real haul — one of the longer Starma-territory bookings. Quote includes travel and one night’s accommodation if needed, transparent up front. The trade-off: Great Southern DJ rates instead of the premium-bracket Perth-DJ-travels-to-Margaret-River pricing, which can run a couple of thousand more before you even start.

Margaret River wedding venues Starma plays

A short list of Margaret River venues Starma knows the room shape of. Not exhaustive — if your venue isn’t here, ask, because most of the time he’s been there at least once.

Voyager Estate

Cape Dutch Manor House on rolling lawns, vineyard views across the Stevens Valley. One of the most architecturally distinctive wedding venues in WA. Refined, restrained, premium-end.

Leeuwin Estate

The Art Gallery space seats 150–180. One of Margaret River’s most prestigious venues — wine, contemporary Australian art, sprawling vineyards.

Xanadu

Five minutes from Margaret River main street. Award-winning wines, indoor-outdoor event flow, ornamental gardens — versatile from ceremony through to late-night dance.

Happs Winery

Native-bush meets sweeping lawns. Picturesque amphitheatre for ceremonies, vineyard for receptions — distinctive aesthetic vs. the more polished MR venues.

Wise Winery (Eagle Bay)

Vineyard plus views of Geographe Bay. Wedding deck overlooking ocean and rows — one of few SW venues where ceremony, reception and dance happen with ocean in the frame.

Amelia Park Restaurant

120 seated / 200 cocktail. Genuine local food-and-wine matching, panoramic vineyard view. Strong fit for couples who want the meal as much as the night.

What other couples have said

“James was everything we could’ve wanted in a wedding DJ and so much more. Flexible, intuitive, made the entire night run seamlessly. He is the de-facto night coordinator — and the number one reason our wedding reception was such a huge success.”

— Shona

“James was a delight to work with and made our special day an absolute blast. Easy on the mic as an MC and incredibly talented as a DJ. He even mixed the most incredible first dance mix for us.”

— Fergus Downey

“We recently hired Starma as the DJ and MC for our wedding. He brought the good vibes and kept the dance floor pumping from the first dance to the last. The wedding day went so well, and it’s partly due to the love and dedication Starma shows in his work.”

— Emily Manoharan

Frequently asked questions

Yes — Margaret River is a regular booking in wedding season. Tenterden base is about 4 hours east, so travel and one night’s accommodation are quoted up-front. Total still typically comes in under what a Perth DJ would charge to travel out.
Yes. Starma trained formally in both during the Perth years and has worked weddings as one-person-DJ-and-MC ever since. Useful in MR especially, where the vendor count is already high and adding another mic-and-decks vendor is overkill.
Travel surcharge + one night’s accommodation included in the up-front quote. No surprise charges. Most MR couples find the total works out cheaper than booking a Perth DJ and paying their travel premium, even before factoring in Starma’s pre-wedding run-sheet call.
Often yes. Friday rehearsal-dinner drinks, Saturday ceremony-and-reception, Sunday brunch — Starma can scale across the run. Flag at the date-check stage.
