I'm Barry McConkey, the DJ behind Refined Entertainment, and I've been behind the decks for over 30 years. From longstanding residencies at The Coach and Network to playing in Ibiza, London's iconic Turnmills, venues across Northern Ireland and on Cool FM, music has been a huge part of my life.
Those years have taught me how to read a room, bring people together and create the right atmosphere for every occasion. These days, I bring that experience to weddings and celebrations, combining music tailored to you with professional sound, lighting and a personal approach.
Whether it's your first dance or the final song of the night, I want the soundtrack to feel like yours. I'd love to hear what you're planning.

“Barry was an absolute legend before and during our entire wedding day - he was so organised, helpful, technically skilled, sound, and happy to help with our every request including a complex karaoke set up, followed all our music requests to the letter and had the dancefloor absolutely packed - couldn't recommend him enough, both as a DJ or as a lovely guy!”
“Barry was the DJ for our wedding reception at Hillmount House earlier this month. He was very easy to deal with, happy to work with your style of music and knows how to get a crowd going. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!”
“Barry was our DJ for our wedding and I’d highly recommend him. He kept good communication, had suggestions, was willing to play any song requests and there is no song he doesn’t have! He has the light set too and was interactive with the guests. The floor was never empty and we even had a guest conga line and everyone down doing rock the boat! It was the best night! If you book Barry you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Barry!!”
