DJ Excellence with Broadcast Legend Steve McKenna.

Looking for a DJ who can elevate your wedding or celebration? This is 'the premium DJ service.' With a background that includes BBC Radio 1, Heart, Real Radio Scotland, and major events like the MOBO Awards, Steve brings unmatched experience and energy to every event.

With tailored playlists, a fun and euphoric atmosphere, and McKenna Live Events industry-leading equipment, from sound systems to lighting and screens, no other DJ in Scotland can match the level of production Steve offers.

He’s hosted shows on BBC Radio 5, World Service, XFM London, Heart, and Real Radio and guested on Radio 1, Radio 2, and BBC Scotland. He's marketed the Spice Girls, spent the day with Clooney, Pitt, and Damon, introduced Quentin Tarantino to haggis, and owns a multi-award-winning events company.

You're not just getting a world class DJ, you're getting an event management company to remove the stress of the event, an AV company to make sure everything looks and sounds great and someone who wants to maintain their five star reputation.
