Steven bought the best party atmosphere - and was even able to get some of my most stubborn guest up on the dancefloor!
Throughout booking, he was responsive to our requirements, super professional AND his prices for the service he provides are fantastic.
Happy to recommend Ace Beats to everyone!

A&A’s Wedding

Thank you Steve! We’re so pleased to have found you!

To make sure our guests had a good time, we asked everyone to tell us the songs that would get them dancing on their RSVPs and loaded them on to Steve’s app. He did a great job of incorporating them and mixing in others based on the mood on the dance floor. Just fantastic!

A brilliant wedding DJ - thank you Steve!

I cannot recommend Steve at AceBeats enough! When looking for wedding DJs, we noticed so many offering expensive packages with extras that we just didn't need at our venue and with our guestlist. Steve offers affordable options and was so helpful throughout the process. The Vibo app, for example, prompted us to think about our preferences and let us specify what we liked and didn't like so easily.

Meeting with Steve was lovely - he was great and seemed to know exactly what we were looking for. We felt very comfortable working with him. Thank you Steve!

Exactly what you need! Amazing!

We booked Ace Beats for our wedding reception. We had never booked a DJ before for anything so had no idea what to expect. From start to finish Steve was amazing! He is very friendly and experienced in what he does. We couldn't recommend Steve enough for a wedding reception and we know he would be equally as good for any other occasion. Steve was very approachable and wasn't pushy for us to book him at all. Thank you again Steve! From Mr and Mrs Rollason

The best DJ and is definitley worth booking

I booked Ace Beats for my wedding, Steven made the process simple and easy. Even offered a photo booth, which was handy as it was something we were looking for. Worth getting the package for this. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! The best thing about it was the fact he wasn't expensive and the prices were reasonable. I will recommend Ace Beats to anyone I know.

Couldn't have asked for better

Steve was very easy to deal with and more than happy to fit in with everything we asked for. Not only was he more flexible than other DJs we had considered, but also a bit cheaper too! The app used to manage our night was perfect for planning and making sure we didn't forget anything, so it all went very smoothly and everyone had a great time. Would absolutely recommend - thanks again Steve!

Best conga line ever

Steve was really great for us! We wanted really cheesy dance music and we had the best conga line! Steve picked up on what our guest liked played got everyone dancing! We had a bit of rock to cheese to drum and base. A good dj is someone that notices what people want to dance to instead of only playing the requested and that’s exactly what we got. We had every age and personality so a massive bravo to Steve for getting my fussy lot to dance! We would recommend 100% ! Please check out our conga and drum and base segment on Steve’s YouTube channel

Top Wedding DJ

Steve was an amazing find, we had interviewed a few DJs for our wedding but we found him to be really honest and interested in our event and what we wanted from it. The Vibo app was really useful in getting songs to him as well as important info for the day.

He set up his (brand new!) Rustic booth in the morning and it really suited our venue, the uplighters really helped give a spread of our colours.

Come the party and Steve kept the guests really going, especially when he played Proud Mary and the floor was pretty full from then until the end! We recommend Ace Beatz and Steve for your wedding.

Great DJ, good price

We initially gave Steve a list of songs to play which he grouped into mini playlists. Our guests wernt feeling it and not many people on the dance floor so steve (with our permission) started mixing in some of his own songs. This worked brilliantly and by the end of the night everyone was dancing! We were so happy with his work on the night and all the communications throughout. Would definitely reccomend!
