Meet DJ Symart
I have been DJing for more than seventeen years, and these days most of my weddings are destination weddings. Couples and their guests come from the UK, the USA, Canada, Germany, Japan and many other countries.
I host the evening in English or Croatian and sort out the timings with your planner well before the day. You tell me what you love and what you never want to hear, and I build the night around that and around the people who are actually on the dance floor.
About DJ SymartReviews
“Everyone that attended our wedding will be talking about the party for years to come!”
“We were blown away by the great mixing, musical IQ and good vibes that Martin brought.”
“He got everyone on the dance floor for the first song and also had everyone dancing throughout the entire night!”
“He was very professional and just made the day extra perfect.”
“His ability to adjust the music to the guests and mood is fantastic.”
The whole day
Destination weddings often start with an afternoon ceremony and end with a party well past midnight. I can do the sound and music for all of it, so your planner has one person to deal with instead of several.
Music for your entrance and exit, and wireless microphones so every vow is heard, even outdoors by the sea.
Easy background music while guests get a drink and say hello. A good time for live sax or violin.
Music quiet enough to talk over. I run the microphone for speeches and toasts and time them with your planner.
First dance, then a mix of everything your guests will dance to, until the venue says stop.
Welcome drinks, a rehearsal dinner or a beach party the day after. Plenty of destination weddings last two or three days.
The music
I play open format, so there is no single genre: your must-plays, the songs your guests know by heart, and whatever keeps the dance floor full at one in the morning.
Send me must-play and do-not-play lists on Spotify. I stick to them, and if I think something else would work better on the night, I ask you first.
With guests from four or five countries, I follow what the two of you want: songs from everyone’s home country, one international party, or a mix of both.
DJ + Live
Saxophone, violin, cello, percussion or accordion, played live over my set. This is usually when the phones come out.
Experiences
Each one is adjusted to your venue, your schedule and the number of guests.
The evening and the party.
For couples who mainly want a great party and a dance floor that stays full.
The whole day.
One person for the music of the whole day, so the ceremony, dinner and party all fit together.
A DJ set with a live musician.
Add saxophone, violin, cello, percussion or accordion, played live over the DJ set.
Two DJs, back to back.
Two DJs taking turns behind the booth, each with their own style, so the night covers more genres and never loses its energy.
No two weddings are the same, so I send a proposal once I know your date and venue.

FAQ
Destination wedding DJ services typically start from €1,300, depending on the location, the length of the day and the production you need. Every wedding gets its own proposal, so get in touch with your date and venue.
Yes. I play weddings all along the coast and on the islands, including Split, Hvar, Vis, Brač, Šolta, Dubrovnik, Istria and Zagreb. Travel and logistics, including ferries and boat transfers, are planned together with your planner and included in the proposal.
Yes. I work in English and Croatian and can host the evening as your MC: announcements, entrances, speeches and cues, all timed with your planner.
That is what I do most weekends. Around 70% of my weddings are international. I follow what the two of you want: some couples ask for songs from each guest’s home country, others for one international party all night. We plan it together beforehand, and on the night I adjust to the room.
Of course. You share Spotify playlists with must-play and do-not-play songs. I respect your list, read the room on the night and, if I feel a different direction would work better, I ask you first.
My style is international open format: disco, funk, soul, pop classics, R&B, rock, dance and house, plus current hits. Balkan folk and turbo-folk are not part of my repertoire.
