Wonderful DJ
We hired Tim a bit last minute, and we are so happy that we did. He took all of that part of the planning out of my hands, coordinating directly with the venue, which was unbelievably amazing! He was very responsive, and played an amazing set with exactly the type of music I was looking for. We had an amazing party thanks to Tim, and I would recommend him to anyone!

A brilliant experience
Tim was the perfect DJ for our wedding. We contacted him last minute, so he was very responsive and made the time to speak to us as soon as possible. He has a very organised approach and sends you a form for you to fill in, enquiring about your tastes, any specific tracks you want, your guests and the feel of the event. He got in touch with the venue and organised his own set up, which was a tremendous help this close to the wedding. On the day he was punctual and friendly. He followed the track list we'd given him, but also observed the crowd's reactions and adapted. He definitely got all of us on our feet! We're very glad we chose him.

Excellent DJ on all fronts
Tim played for our wedding at St Giles House. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough: his DJ set couldn’t have gone better and he was extremely professional and maintained great communication in the lead up and on the day itself.
He was in touch with the venue in the lead up and took all the stress out of the situation.
We provided a basic outline of the music and atmosphere we wanted and he totally nailed it: playing music that appealed to both our friends and older family members. We had so many compliments from wedding guests - everyone had a blast. The atmosphere was electric and he had guests on the dance floor all night. We really appreciate the thought and energy Tim put into our event.
Tim also provided a playlist for us to play during our reception, which totally captured the mood we were after.

Just perfect
Thank you ever so much for being the absolute perfect DJ at our wedding. You nailed the ambience that we were hoping for and the playlist was spot on for us. I only wish we could do it all again!

Fantastic dj and disco
From the outset, Tim was brilliant. He responded quickly to our enquiries and most importantly gave us confidence that he was going to do a brilliant disco for our daughter's wedding. Marvellously, he really did do a fantastic job and had people up and dancing all night, and everyone has a really great time. I can't recommend him enough. Thank you Tim!
