Absolutely brilliant!

We were incredibly happy with Clayton DJ’ing for us at our wedding reception! The music was perfectly put together, he went above and beyond to really identify what we wanted and gave a brilliant service. Plus he’s a top guy, very easy to chat to, friendly and knowledgeable! Would recommend him to anyone!

Couldn't ask for a better DJ

Clayton was incredible. He worked closely with us throughout, put up with our terrible communication 🤣 and made the night truly incredible. We would highly recommend him to anyone. He was so friendly and had an awesome sense of humour.

Highly recommended wedding DJ

We hired Clay for our our wedding and wow.

Clay from the start of the hiring process was highly professional and extremely helpful. He set up meetings before the wedding to get to know us, what our wedding vibe was and to ensure that all our favourite songs were on throughout the day.

Clay attended the wedding early and went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly, even when there were technical issues in the set up that were no fault of his own. He made sure that everything was sorted and there was no stress for us on the day.

Clays set up is perfect, and really gave our marquee reception something extra special with the lighting.

The music selection was fantastic and kept the dance floor full all night long.

Could not recommend a DJ more. Everything was so simple and easy to set up, clay was only a message away if we wanted any changes or had any questions.

Thank so much for making our day so special.

Best day of our lives!

We hired Clayton as our DJ for our wedding at Lulworth Castle in August 2024.
Clayton was INCREDIBLE! Clayton had amazing communication leading up to the day. We had two calls with him before the wedding to discuss our music preferences, timeline, special requests, and set up for the evening. He also promptly answered any questions we had via text message leading up to the day. On the day, Clayton arrived early and was able to set up without any disturbances.
We had special instructions for our first dance (intro to song, direct guests to the dance floor) and Clayton perfected it. Once the evening started, the dancefloor was packed all night long!!! Clayton did an awesome job of reading the crowd and knowing when to play specific genres that the guests enjoyed. We also had special requests in the evening (specific songs for specific guests) and Clayton delivered!! Once we reached the last song, my husband and I were so sad as we had the best time and Clayton was a huge part of that!
Many of our guests commented after the wedding how great Clayton was! We highly recommend Clayton as a DJ for your wedding (or any event!) and would not hesitate to recommend him to friends/family for future events.
Thanks again, Clayton. You’re a rockstar!!

The dance floor was rocked!

As a garden party goes, it was epic. Lost voices from singing too much and sore feed from saving to much. The energy was on another level!

Amazing wedding DJ

Clayton was everything we wanted for everyone to enjoy our wedding evening! He played all the music we asked for and was so good when it came to communication - always ready to respond and nothing was a hassle for him. He was very professional and even turned up super early to make sure he was set up and ready to go.

In safe hands from start to finish

Thank you Clayton for DJing at our wedding yesterday. You went above and beyond getting to know us and chat to us before the big day, arriving early and getting the music going just when our guests were ready to start the party, playing numerous requests and a fantastic array of tunes! Thank you, Anna and Pete

Fantastic, very professional and pleasant experience.

From our first meeting right until the big day it was a pleasure working with Clayton as our DJ. He really took the time to listen to us and find out what we wanted and the vibe we were going for on our special day. He was brilliant at reading the room and playing the right songs to keep everyone happy and the dance floor full. We loved the pad left out to request songs with ease and the option of karaoke if desired. Also a really smart looking set up too that would fit in with any party, wedding or special occasion theme. I will definitely be using clayton again and highly recommend him to anyone.

True professional

Clayton would be my first choice or recommendation for all future events. Took the time to ask what my preferred music choices were and was willing to take song requests and even karaoke requests. The set list was a great mixture of genres that keep the vibe going through the entire party. Also a great lighting set up. All together a great friendly and professional service.
