Alexia & Olly’s Greek WeddingKallithea Springs, Rhodes · 7 July 2026

From a Bollywood party to a Greek wedding

Alexia and Olly were guests at a friend’s wedding I was playing. It was an Indian wedding with a full Bollywood party. They saw me DJ. A while later they got in touch and asked if I could do the same thing for a Greek crowd.

I’ll be honest: I’d never DJed an all Greek wedding before. I’d played plenty of mixed crowds and plenty of destination weddings, but never a room where the families expected the traditional Greek dances to land exactly right. They put their confidence in me anyway. That stuck with me.

A Greek wedding in Rhodes, over three days

I was booked to DJ and host on the mic for the welcome party and the wedding reception. The ceremony was at the Chapel of St. Sophia, and the reception was at Kallithea Springs, the old thermal springs right on the coast. It’s one of the most striking venues I’ve ever set up in.

Then, the day after the reception, I played the pool party too.

How I built the music for a Greek crowd

The trick with a Greek wedding is knowing when to hold the circle and when to open the floor up to everyone. So the night had a shape:

• Dinner: jazz and classics, easy and warm while people ate.
• The party: traditional Greek music first, so the families could dance the way they wanted to. Tilliriotissa went down a storm.
• Later on: I moved the Greek sets into R&B, house and dance, then Afrobeats, Afro house, garage and Ibiza classics until the end.

That broad mix kept every generation on the same floor.

The plate smashing

Late in the night, with traditional Greek music playing, the plates started flying. The plate smashing was my favourite moment of the whole weekend. You can plan a set list down to the minute, but you can’t plan that feeling.

Sound limits and kit at a Rhodes venue

There was a sound limit at the venue. I worked with the planners and the AV team ahead of time, and we managed it well.

I didn’t fly my own equipment out. A local AV company in Rhodes supplied everything on my technical rider, so the sound and setup were exactly what I’d use at home. My prices and FAQ page explains how the technical rider works.

“Booking DJ Chonkx was the best decision we made.”

What happened next

Since Rhodes, I’ve been booked four more times by people from the same circle of friends. For me, that matters more than any review. A Bollywood party led to a Greek wedding, and that Greek wedding has led to four more.
