Hi, I’m James Hopgood, owner of Forrest Music & Events—a fully mobile DJ service proudly based on the Central Coast. With 20+ years of DJing and event experience, I play any type of events from 40ths to Christmas Parties. Forrest music specialises in creating unforgettable soundtracks for weddings across the Central Coast, Hunter Valley, Newcastle, and Sydney (including venues like The Olive Grove, Linton Gardens, and Dark Horse Estate).
When you book with me, here’s what you can look forward to:
• Fully flexible, mobile setup — My professional DJ booth and equipment adapt to any space—indoors, outdoors on the lawns, or wherever your day flows best. I arrive early to set up smoothly, test everything, and leave the area spotless, just as I found it.
• Personalised, wedding-focused music curation — I work closely with you through 1-2 consultations to understand your vision. We’ll tailor the perfect playlist for your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance floor—ensuring the music reflects exactly what you love and gets everyone celebrating.
• Stress-free reliability you can count on — Fully insured with public liability coverage, premium sound, lighting, wireless microphones, multiple backup booths, and on-site redundancies. No last-minute surprises—just seamless execution from someone who’s passionate about what he does!
My goal is simple: to let you relax and enjoy every moment while I handle the vibes.
I’d love to chat about your wedding or event and how I can support it perfectly—feel free to reach out for my full package details, setup photos, or a sample Central Coast reception playlist.
Looking forward to helping make your day epic
These are the categories of entertainment or other services offered by Forrest Music & Events.
My mobile DJ set up can be built anywhere you’d like. I have 2 x full lighting rigs, DJ booths, speakers etc. It generally takes 1.5-2 hours to setup & that gives us plenty of time to make sure everything is ready to go!
The music for each event is unique & tailored to what you want! I will personally work closely with you to curate the vibe your after, certain special songs and the flow of the event. I will usually get a playlist from the client and have all those songs ready to go for the night. As well as that i am able to take song requests on the fly which leads itself to a fun, unique and interactive experience for the guests!
For most events we have an hourly base rate. If significant travel is needed we will work out a fair travel fee to cover fuel. We have a Premium 5 hour wedding package that includes the full lighting rig, multiple industry level PA speakers. microphones etc & a couple of over the phone consultations to get as much information as necessary to make the day as special as I can! Additionally we have access to a saxophone player who can play as I mix songs to create a really fun experience. Reach out for more details!
I am fully insured & can provide any documentation on request ✅
