Book well in advance!! You'll want this DJ 🥰

We used Josh for our wedding over the weekend. I booked him 2 years before our date and he was brilliant from the start. Any questions we had he answered quickly. Talking to Josh about what we wanted was effortless and he was everything we wanted for our special day. We have got some beautiful shots under the confetti cannon which was provided by Josh which made the night even more perfect 🥰

Wedding Planning can be stressful....not when hiring this guy! 🤩

Hiring a DJ can be stressful for your Wedding but dealing with Josh was a pleasure and put me and my wife at ease from the get go, helped make the process seamless. Josh is fantastic with communication and was very quick in responding to any questions/queries we had.
We would highly recommend!

Fantastic communication, fantastic service and fantastic guy 😃

We used Blu Ice for our wedding and would 100% recommend!! Excellent communication from the get go, fantastic service and wonderful products! We had Josh DJ and also had the light up LOVE letters and the audio guest book. The audio guest book was such a hit and such a good laugh listening back to the recordings after the wedding, it was beautifully aesthetic as well. Josh had all the bangers we asked for and made sure there was nothing played from my banned list (even when he was being pestered for them) we had the best time partying and my husband and I were on the dance floor until the very last song. Thanks so much Josh!

Amazing DJ, you wont regret your decision!

We used Blu Ice for our wedding in August, it was the best decision we made, on the lead up to the wedding we had plenty of contact with Josh. He always replied to any questions quickly, and a meeting before the wedding really showed us how much he cared. We didn’t give Josh much direction as to what we wanted played but the music was fantastic, all of our guests were on the dance floor all night. We had sparklers planned in the evening but decided to ditch them as everyone was enjoying the music so much.
The magic Mirror was also excellent and guests loved it, Josh got our pictures back to us so quickly and it’s been lovely to look through, we would 100% recommend blue ice and use them in the future.

A DJ that listens and helps to make your day so special.

Blu Ice was our wedding DJ, we were so extremely grateful for everything that Josh did for us! He listened to all of our requests and made the night so much fun! Nothing was a hassel and he responded to all my questions promptly! Everyone was raving about how amazing the music was and the dance-floor was always busy! We are so so happy! If you want a wedding DJ that will create the best atmosphere then book with Blu Ice. Thank you so much Josh!!!!

Complete Professional in many aspect.

We used Blu Ice (Josh) for our DJ service, and he provided so much more!
From the beautiful set up, the photo tripod and the fabulous phone booth voicemail (which my guests absolutely loved)!

Communication was great throughout and he arranged a meeting with my venue to prepare for set up which put my mind at ease.

We had so many comments from our guests and the venue provider who commended not only the DJ set but his professionalism.

The dance floor was full all night long! We had an amazing day and I would highly recommend booking with Blu Ice!

Thank you so much Josh, you really completed our day.

High Quality Service

We had Blu Ice for our wedding in July and would 100% recommend. From initial enquiry to wedding day, Josh had everything sorted for us, there was nothing to stress over. He has covered so many weddings and events that he was able to guide us through how things work, no song was an issue, communication was very prompt.

Will use again for next event! professional, high quality service

Great wedding DJ

Thank you Josh for a great evening! Blu Ice were communicating with us throughout the run up to the wedding and were really receptive to our song suggestions, as well as letting us plan some songs to start and finish with that we knew our guests love. The dance floor was packed all night! Would recommend Josh for any event and thank you again!

Saved the Day!

With our venue closing and our wedding being their last. The lead up was hit with a few hurdles. Josh was amazing! He was able to supply a set of rustic Love letters at short notice, amazing for free as we had been let down. We are truly grateful and did not expect them for free. The night was fantastic, guest were up dancing to a variety of music, some classics which i had forgotten about but remember from my nights out. We cannot fault Josh for the service he provided, the attention to detail and his ability to help our visions come to fruition. We had an amazing time and a great end to our day. You will not be disappointed with his service. Thanks again.
