Flawless Execution, Fantastic Value

For our wedding at Ashridge House we wanted a team who could do multiple things at an affordable price and know what would be best for you venue. My Big Day events were great from the start helping me create a bespoke service to what we wanted and provide recommendations based on our venue. We had up-lighters, light up initials, mirror ball and a dance floor that were all seamlessly integrated into the day without us having to worry about anything. Would 100% recommend them.

Great service, perfect in every way

We decided quite late to book a larger white dance floor and fabric panel to go behind the top table. Adam was great, he responded quickly to all communication, advised effectively, showed up on time and the team delivered everything as promised. The dance floor and panels were perfect and made a big difference to the aesthetic of the wedding reception. At the end of the evening they took it away discreetly. Would definitely recommend based on service, cost and products. Very happy!

Amazing, Professional and Fun Company

Visually, My Big Day Events helped make our reception set up look absolutely stunning. It was everything we imagined and more.

Vibe wise, they helped keep everyone in great spirits and really helped keep the flow going through the entrance, speeches, cake cutting and first dance, just like we had asked. Thank you so much.

The party was just hilarious - thank you to Giles for letting me loose on the microphone. I think that was a highlight for a lot of people.

Max and I can honestly say we had the greatest day and night of our lives. Likewise, my guests have all been saying it was the best wedding they've ever been to and commenting on what fun they had. You guys were a big part of that so thanks for helping to make that happen.

Thanks again!

Georgia and Max

We had such a magical day, thanks to Adam and his team. We felt very reassured from beginning to end and everyone made us feel so special and unique.

Big Day Events were excellent choice for our special day. Nothing was too much for them to organise and they arrange every aspect down to the fine details according to our request. We had regular contact and meetings to arrange our special day and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome of our wedding day. A big thank you to Adam and his Team. Highly recommend by us for sure !

Fantastic services for our wedding

He had hired My-big-day events for our wedding in May 2023 and they made our day feel special! We all know organising a wedding is stressful as it is, but My Big Day showed professionalism, they listened and understood the assignment.

We hired a package plus add ons. All the little details really made the room grand and fun! The dance floor was beautiful and sparkled like the DJ booth. I loved the drapes for the top table! It was clean, stylist and sleek. No crease to be seen. If I had more money I would definitely drape around the entire room, it was that nice.

We had the choice of a photobooth or magic mirror which we chose the mirror. The link they sent us through email to confirm the photos layouts, wordings etc was easy and straight forward. User friendly. Also, it was extremely fun with the props they provided. The two staffing that manned the mirrors were lovely and very calm, especially around our very drunk wedding guests. It was so fun to take our photos, it felt that 3 hours was not long enough. But that could be the proscesso taking and making the night go so quickly. I would like to add that they offer one guestbook which is on a small size so do get another guestbook yourself for those extra photos and messages.

Our DJ we had was so sweet, caring and superb. He really got the crowd excited throughout the night.

Overall, we highly recommend my big day! I think they are quite affordable compare to some other production companies. They are busy with so many events but they do make time for you! I can understand why they are at so many different locations, because they know how to make the perfect event!!

Dancefloor was never empty!

We had an excellent experience with my big day events for our wedding at Ashridge House. We booked the DJ package for the evening and also light up letters. In the lead up to the wedding we had access to a really useful portal where we could share any tracks we wanted to play, and lay out the order of the evening. The dance floor was never empty and our guests were dancing non-stop. Music choices were exactly what we wanted and our DJ knew exactly what to play to keep the momentum of the party going! We had a saxophone player and the DJ was fantastic at adapting/collaborating to him. Also we were able to contact them with any questions or concerns in the lead up, the service was amazing. It’s no wonder they are a recommended supplier at the venue. Thank you for creating the most memorable wedding reception, we will remember it forever.

Excellent service

For our wedding in August, My Big Day arranged for us to have a large pleated drape as a backdrop for our ceremony, which was great visually for us and all our guests. Adam and the team then smoothly moved the drape and and added uplights behind the head table for the reception dinner, and this really lit up the room, and afterwards for the dancing! We're very grateful for their service and professionalism.

The best wedding music packages!

We used My Big Day Events for our evening wedding music at Ashridge House on 12.10.24 and I can't recommend them enough! We booked the Sax, Singer & DJ package and our dancefloor was PACKED from start to finish - I really couldn't have asked for a more talented team. We had so many guests raving about how great they all were! Adam from My Big Day Events was fantastic to work with and he has a brilliant set of musicians for any event! They have a customer portal to make it super easy to list your must-play songs too. Highly recommend using Adam and the team for your big day! Thank you for everything. :)

Amazing service 👏

We used my big day events for our wedding in June. We booked a photobooth and light up letters, from booking until the day they were amazing! Communication was fantastic. It was very easy to pay off our balance, and when we needed to add bits, it wasn't a problem at all. The photo Booth was loved by all, and we have some amazing memories to look back on! Couldn't recommend my big day events enough.

Amazing experience and everything was arranged extremely smoothly.

Adam was fantastic from the moment i placed the enquiry, the whole process was painless and on the day everything was arranged so smoothly and everything was perfect. The Photo Booth and props were an attraction and success amongst all our guests. I strongly recommend it. Payment process was also extremely simple and easy to deal with it.

Would recommend!

We dealt with Adam Shilston and he was very easy to deal with and on call everytime we had a request. Everyone complimented the white LED dance floor and DJ they provided, I would recommend to anyone.

Amazing Wedding DJ and Photobooth at Ashridge House

Adam, Gary and team did an amazing job as our wedding DJ and photobooth provider - from booking, meeting Adam beforehand to discuss a few of the final details, right the way through to our wedding day itself, My Big Day Events were so helpful and we were confident in them providing a great service. My Big Day Events had the great option of logging on to their custom website to help specify your playlist ahead of the big day. The photobooth was also a really great addition, with all of the photos supplied both in a guestbook and on a USB stick after the event. All of our guests loved it! The lighting on the night looked fantastic as well - overall we would very much recommend My Big Day Events!

Perfect

Adam was flexible and understanding from the booking process, through to the planning meeting. Adam listened to everything we wanted, and we had ultimate trust in him and his services. He delivered everything as we asked and he really made the day special. He helped keep people at ease when they were about to deliver speeches, and assisted with a musical element of one of the speeches too. He did everything perfectly and we cannot thank him enough for all he did. I would highly recommend him to anyone. It was perfect!

Jen & Adam - Hatfield House - September 2016

What an amazing team! We hired My Local DJ for our wedding at Hatfield House - The Old Palace a few weeks ago - we hired the DJ, Lighting, Photobooth, Projector Screen and they went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothy. The lighting was stunning, music was perfect and general thorough organisation and professionality was first class. Such a pleasure to work with.
Thank you so much to Adam and his team for helping to make our wedding such an amazing day that we will never forget!
