Amazing service, Amazing music!

Chris did the disco at our wedding this weekend he was amazing from booking and throughout the day!
Pre wedding he met us at our venue to discuss everything we wanted for our day. We decided to upgrade to an uplighting package and soo glad we did as it looked amazing on the day!
Chris also created a photo slideshow on his screen for us ( our theme was travel so all guests were able to see our travel photos which was a lovely touch).
He came and set up early so everything was ready before the guests got there.
Chris asked us what music we wanted and he played a really good selection, would definitely recommend booking Chris for your wedding day!

Absolutely amazing!!

We used chris for our wedding in July and he was amazing! He took song requests from guests during the wedding and happily played them! He created such an amazing atmosphere and got everybody on the dance floor! The set up and lights were incredible and created such a party vibe! We couldn’t have chosen a better DJ for our wedding!

Amazing evening for both wedding and engagement party

Chris was so fantatstic at our engagement party we had to book him for our wedding too! We had to rearange due to COVID lockdowns but Chris was great at being able to swap the dates and we are very grateful for it because everyone had an amazing time!
Before our wedding Chris took the time to sit with me and my now husband and go through songs that that we did and didnt want on the night and the vibe of the evening we were looking for.
The lights, the music, the atmosphere was perfect and more than we could of dreamt of!
I would 1000000% recommend Chris to anyone!

Joint Wedding evening

Chris did our wedding evening and from visiting us, helping us choose our songs, getting our display on his screen to him arriving in good time setting up and being our DJ, he was so professional and smart and had some great ideas on how our evening would go. Our evening doo was shared with my brother and sister-law as they were married 2 days before us so Chris delivered not only our wedding evening but my brothers and so he had their type of music to mix in with ours. Putting the times together with both of our requests. I would recommend Chris for your Wedding evening and any other DJing needs. My recommendation is 100%

Easy to work with and a great result.

Definitely will recommend to others. Chris was easy to work with. Understood my requirements and my budget, to deliver exceptional colour to the venue I had booked.
This made such a difference to the room, the photos, the memories.
Chris was thorough , turned up on time, worked with the venue and informed at all times, date and time for delivery, and for take down.

The venue were also impressed and asked for Chris’s business cards.

Thank you Chris

An unforgettable night!

Chris was so helpful and responsive from the moment we booked him right up until our wedding day. We met in person before and he was happy to take requests and really understood the vibe/type of music we wanted. On the night the up lighting really added to the atmosphere so I would definitely book that as an extra! All the guests had the best time, the dance floor was full and Chris was great. We can’t recommend him enough!

Everything we could have asked for and more!

From start to finish, Chris was absolutely amazing. He provides incredible value for money, replied so fast to questions, met with us before the day to ensure we were happy with everything. This was so helpful as he got to know the kind of music we wanted - it also showed how passionate he is about making the evening the best it can be!

All of our guests were so complimentary of the music, the vibe and Chris as a person as he kept the party going perfectly. The dance floor was NEVER empty! My main worry for the evening reception was that people wouldn't feel like dancing before it got dark (especially as we married in late July!).

I needn't have worried because Chris was spot on with judging the vibe of the room and the music that was getting people dancing - he even threw in a conga line to collect the remaining stragglers from outside enjoying the sunny evening to enjoying the dance floor.

He even took loads of photos which we really appreciated looking through during the wait for the professional photos.

Would 10000% recommend and will be using for other events in the future!

Life-saver

Chris really did save the day!
We had our wedding back in April and 5 weeks before the date our DJ pulled out, we came across Chris and he was amazing! Met us beforehand to discuss the day and then during the day everything was perfect! Full setup and everything!
We had many folks after the wedding commenting on how much they enjoyed the evening tunes!
We are just so grateful that Chris saved our bacon, such and ace bloke as well!

Brilliant night!

We booked Chris for a wedding and can’t praise him highly enough. Start to finish he was extremely organised, always in touch with us and the venue so everybody knew what was going on, and he turned up exactly when he said he would both to install uplighting ahead of the event and then for the evening entertainment. He delivered a fantastic DJ set, keeping people on the dance floor and the party going night. Karaoke was available but nobody ended up using it because everyone was enjoying the music so much. Chris, thank you for providing such a fantastic end to a very special day!
