Absolutely awesome DJ and photographer. They helped organize my cousin's wedding and due to their efforts it was unforgettable. Both the DJ and photographer are incredible people, they mingled amongst our families and made us all feel comfortable. As well as organize us when we were all over the place. There was even a part where I was recording my cousin dancing with his wife and the photographer grabbed my phone so I could be a part of the video😁 Absolutely awesome. If I was to go in full detail in this review I'd be here forever singing their praises More...

We had the experience of having Tristan DJ and Anna (photographer/videographer) our wedding at the Gold Coast Farm House GC.
The site that allows you to add all the music you're after (and what you do not like to played) made it more customisable.
He felt the vibes and dropped the bangers at the right time.
The dancefloor was lit and full at all the right times.
Cheers for the good comms leading up to our day.
Thanks for making our day that much of a vibe!!!

Hi if anyone would like to hire a D.J these guys are awesome. We celebrated our daughters 18th last night.Communication with Tristan was brilliant so professional and easy to deal with for the event planning.
Annie did such a lovely balloon garland for our daughter and took so many amazing photos of the night. It's so good having someone to capture all those moments for us.
Ryan our actual DJ was absolutely brilliant and kept the teenagers dancing and played all their favourites. He even stayed a little longer. Absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to organise an event...

Tristan and Annie were the perfect addition to my birthday party. Tristan was extremely responsive in the lead up to the night and the music portal was excellent and easy to use. Tristan and Annie arrived on time, we’re friendly and approachable with music/lighting being exactly what I wanted. I could not have asked for a better service. Very happy and would highly recommend.

If you're looking for a DJ who knows how to read a room and get everyone on the dance floor, look no further than Vanguard Events & Entertainment!
From the moment the music started, it was clear that they knew exactly what kind of music to play to get everyone up and moving. The dance floor was packed from start to finish and the energy was high all night long!
I cannot recommend Tristan and Annie enough for any event, big or small. They were a joy to work with leading up to the event, with great communication and professionalism throughout.

What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
It’s all about reading the room, playing the right tracks at the right time, and building energy throughout the night. A great DJ doesn’t just press play—they craft an atmosphere, create moments, and keep the dancefloor alive from start to finish.
How would you describe your ‘style’?
We’re all about reading the crowd, blending genres seamlessly, and creating the perfect atmosphere—whether that’s an elegant cocktail hour, a packed dancefloor, or an epic closing track. Our approach is professional yet personal, with every set tailored to reflect the vibe, energy, and personality of each event.
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing people completely in the moment—laughing, dancing, celebrating—is what it’s all about. We love being part of those once-in-a-lifetime memories, whether it’s a couple’s first dance, a surprise speech, or a packed dancefloor at the end of the night. Creating those moments and knowing we’ve helped make someone’s day unforgettable… that’s the real reward.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We wanted to create something truly personal and tailored—where creativity meets professionalism. Starting our own business gave us the freedom to deliver exceptional experiences exactly how we believe they should be, with attention to detail, passion, and a real connection to our clients. It’s about bringing joy and memorable moments to every event, and that drive keeps us going every day.
