Dj karlton is 10/10
DJ Karlton took our wedding to new heights within minutes of his arrival! We cannot recommend him enough. If you’re looking for a DJ who is easygoing and can read a room like no one else, you HAVE to book DJ Karlton! His commitment to his craft is clear as our dance floor was NEVER empty at any point during his visit to us. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s just isn’t enough 🙌🏼

Amazing DJ, brings the party
Karlton was brilliant all night! His communication before and understanding what music we wanted was brilliant. The rustic rig available was perfect for our day. Music is such a huge part of both our lives and so getting to share special songs with our families and friends are memories we will cherish forever, thank you to Karlton for helping make that happen. He knew exactly what song to play when and his line up was amazing, if there was ever a song that people weren’t vibing with (didn’t happen much at all) then he was so attentive that he noticed straight away and switched to something else. I glanced over a few times and just saw him with a big beaming smile on his face watching us all enjoy ourselves. Would recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a DJ. He even took pics for us that he sent a couple of days after and they were brilliant too. Everyone had the party of their lives.

Great music
Great music! We went for the rustic booth to fit with the barn venue aesthetic and it looked amazing. Martin arrived on time and worked with the venue to get the sound system set up. We went a playlist beforehand and most of the songs from the list were played.

What a night!
I was genuinely worried about whether people would be up and dancing, an evening reception can be a long time to keep people entertained, especially during long sunny nights in summer. Well... Our dancefloor was full all night! We all had such a good night it was amazing! It never fell flat and Karlton was great at putting something on for everyone - even my grandma was up and dancing. He was so helpful during the planning process and sorting out first dance songs, helping us organise our thoughts with having different playlists he could pull from. No cheesy wedding DJ, it was perfect, thank you!

Dancefloor was packed all night long
DJ Karlton DJ'd at our wedding this month and our dancefloor was packed all night long and every song was an absolute banger. He also brought along the magic mirror photobooth which was one of the biggest highlights of the day - the photobooth assistant put together the most amazing photobook on the night with all of the pictures and its something we will cherish forever! Would highly recommend for your wedding or any event that you want the dancefloor to be booming :) Amalia & Matt

DJ Karlton
I had Karlton at my wedding on Thursday and he was amazing! So friendly and professional but more importantly, absolutely brought the party to the wedding. It wasn't a massive wedding but people were on the floor until the lights came on and even then we didn't want to leave. Every time I tried to leave to rest my feet another banger came on and I was back again 🤣 thank you so much again Karlton, I'd recommend you all day long

Feeling lucky we had an incredible and experienced DJ like Karlton!
Karlton Dj’d at our wedding and we were beyond happy with our choice! From the start, Karlton was so attentive towards us and accommodating of our requests for the big day. He arrived early to set up, transitioned us from dinner to partying so well and it was a truly incredible evening filled with so many fun songs that got people dancing! We absolutely loved what he did with our first dance song to make our dreams the reality and we can’t thank him enough for that especially! This showcased his experience and expertise and he was responsive to what people were dancing to and played a variety of genres so that everyone danced! Will definitely be recommending to anyone who needs a fab DJ.

More than Helpful, Flexible and fun
Karlton was the DJ at our wedding in July 2023 and was great from the beginning, and even took pictures of some of our dancing and uploaded it afterwards for us. He was punctual, had a review of our playlists before and seamlessly mixed tracks together and took note of the audience, and even did well mixing Iranian & British music together!

Absolutely Amazing Best DJ
Karlton was wonderful to work with right from the get go. Music was amazing everyone of our guests asked who he was, we had a wonderful wedding made even better by Karlton. The added addition of the mirror photo stand which our guests really enjoyed. Thank you so much for being part of our day. Sam and Tony.

Amazing Dj
Karlton read the evening perfectly and kept the dance floor full start to finish. He had everyone up on the dance floor from our grandparents to a fabulous indie disco at the end of the evening. We all had such a great evening so much so I didn’t want to leave the dance floor!
Thank you for making our evening so fantastic! We would 100% recommend ;)

Book book book!!!
My husband and I had DJ Karlton at our wedding at Pendrell Hall in November. He was absolutely fantastic! Before the music started, he came and introduced himself, which I found extremely respectful. We sent Karlton a playlist of music prior to the wedding and he 100% listened to what we wanted. He captured the mood of the room and knew what to play and when to keep everyone on the dance floor. I am not normally one for dancing, but I did not sit down once all night. I cannot recommend Karlton enough and would definitely use him again for any events in the future. From start to finish he has been professionally and responsive and has even sent us some lovely pictures of our wedding. Thank you Karlton for a memorable day😊
