We loved it!

We had RCT entertainment providing a photo booth and DJ for our recent wedding and found the whole experience to be perfect and very professional. Ross, our dj was fantastic from queuing up the songs for our cake cutting and first dance, to getting everyone up dancing throughout the night - the online portal that allows you to pick the songs in advance is a great touch!
Everyone enjoyed the photo booth and it was really nice to receive a guestbook of all the pictures our guest had taken throughout the night.
Thank you so much
We would highly recommend.

Best Night Ever! They brought the Nightclub to us!

These guys are simply amazing! I booked pretty much everything they had to offer. Their team came in and transformed the venue in a massive nightclub, which is what we wanted and imagined. Drapes, massive sound system and amazing light show. If you want your Wedding to have the best atmosphere then look no where else. It wasn't cheap, but they were worth every penny! Our guests we talking about it round the breakfast table the following morning. Ross and his hard working team and simply the best!! Thank you so much xx

Ross Was Amazing! Best Wedding DJ EVER!!

I booked Ross and RCT Entertainment & Events for my wedding at Sopwell House. What RCT created was truly magical. White DJ setup, White Starlit floor, White Love Letters, modd lighting and magic mirror.

The booking process was easy! Ross and his wife Charlene really love what they do and they have become friends. Their attention to detail and keeping us informed was top notch!

Ross is such a good DJ, i was recommended him from a friend. You can tell he has done this all of his adult life. The Mr & Mrs game went down a treat and having our guest involved was so funny, really broke the ice and got everyone up on the dance floor straight away.

If you want something special and a night to remember don't book anyone else! Book RCT Entertainment & Events and ask for Ross as your DJ!

Thank you Ross & Charlene (RCT Entertainment & Events) you are both lovely and i will recommend you to everyone!

AMAZING! We were blown away!

Thank You!

Ross and Charlene should be really proud of the company they have built together. Their attention to detail is second to none. Very personal service, who deal with you on a one to one basis. Spent over an hour on the phone chatting away.

We went all out and booked most things with RCT. We booked the All white DJ package with white starlit dance floor and Mr & Mrs signs. The venue looked incredible when all the up lighters were on. We also had the Retro Selfie Pod which was a really hit with our guests.

Ross was our DJ on the day and what he doesn't know about music and keeping a crowd entertained is unreal. We danced all night and the atmosphere was great with all our guests commenting about how good the DJ was. We also had some confetti cannons for our first dance which were great.

I can't recommend RCT Entertainment and Events enough and Ross is the DJ for any Wedding.

I want to do it all over again!

Thanks again. Samantha & Will x

Great DJ, Setup was perfect!

We booked Ross and RCT Entertainment & Events for our wedding in Chelmsford last night.

Ross was just what we wanted, smart, polite and his music flowed all night,all our guests requests we played and the dance floor was packed.

The booking process was easy and the online portal is great for planning and making payments.

Thanks for a great night Ross and also say thank you to your Wife Charlene who was really nice on the phone when we booked in.

All the best for 2023!

You made our day! i cant thank you enough

I can't thank Charlene and Ross enough for everything they have organised for our wedding. Having everything from one company was just so much easier than booking from various different companies.

The booking process was faultless, no pushy sale, just simply "What are you looking for?" Charlene and Ross both took on board what we were after and came back with an amazing package. We booked Ross to DJ with the mobile nightclub setup as we are really into our music, accompanied by a magic mirror, starlit dance floor, lighting and Love letters. The night was fantastic and the atmosphere was electric! It literally felt like a nightclub and all our guest commented how good it was.

I honestly can't fault this company. They are 10 out of 10 excellent.

I will recommend you to everyone!

Wow! You can tell Ross has been a DJ for all the Celebrities. We had over 250 guest at our wedding and wanted to create a winter wonderland theme.

We decided to book the white package which included Disco, Photo Booth, White starlit dance floor and mood lighting. We also added the spark machines which made our first dance spectacular.

Charlene his lovely wife, came and chatted to us at our house, which was a really nice personal touch and she wasn't pushy at all. She listened to what we wanted, told us what she can offer us and we chose.

The process was easy,communication was great from booking right through to the day. I can't recommend them enough.

Don't look anywhere else, just talk to them and they will deliver.

Amazing! So Glad i booked! Everything was Perfect!

We booked RCT Entertainment & Events because of Ross. Ross was consultative, friendly and did not try to 'oversell' us on capabilities or packages. He listened and made 2x site visits ahead of time to help us ascertain what we needed for several requirements. Our wedding and reception took place on separate days and Ross. On the reception day, overall this went very well. The lighting set up and staging was fantastic, and the LED dance floor. The team were able to navigate and support any challenges on the day to the best of their abilities. Ross supported the team throughout the entire event including supporting the set up of a live band and their sound plus taking over for a live DJ set in the evening. The team worked very hard and were incredibly supportive. RCT Entertainment were not just our DJs but our entire events partner and it is by no hesitation that we recommend them for your events. Thank you once again Ross. Best from Nicola & David x"

Excellent DJ and Karaoke service!

RCT were absolutely amazing! After booking, they gave us access to an online portal so we could add songs on there we wanted to be played/play if possible/don’t play. Their communication was great from start to finish.
The DJ on the day was exactly what we wanted, really easy going and happy to make announcements and be flexible with us. The set up was great and created a disco feel in an old rustic building which is hard to do! We also had karaoke and the set up for that was brilliant, there were plenty of microphones to use and included lyrics on a TV screen, the DJ even joined in himself at one point! We would definitely recommend using them for your big day.

Ross had everyone dancing all night long!

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! He read the crowd all night and the dance floor was packed all night long! All our requests were played which we uploaded to the portal. Me and my husband spent a few night drinking wine before the wedding creating some of our playlist.

We recommend Ross and RCT Entertainment & Event to everyone.

Thank you so much

Love Sophie & Dean

Simple Brilliant! Attention to detail! Music was Awesome!

I hired RCT Entertainment & Events for our wedding in December. Ross and his team and simple the best. The sound and lighting setup looked great. We wanted a smart looking, minimal setup. With the mood lights in looked great. Ross is an amazing DJ, we wanted the theme of an Old School 90's set (Kisstory) style. The way it was mixed and the songs just seemed to flow all night with a packed dance floor. I would highly recommend the team at RCT Entertainment & Events. A really family business who take that personal approach. Me and my husband can't thank you enough. Liz & Felix xxx

Amazing! The room was transformed! Our guests couldn't stop talking about it

I was recommended Ross and Charlene from a friend of ours. We wanted to use a local company and being a family business, they really have a personal approach.

Charlene came to see us at our house to discuss our evening entertainment. I was amazed at the contrast of equipment and services they offer.

After a couple of coffee's we decided to book the Platinum Disco package, Starlit dance floor, Mr & Mrs signs, mood light and spark machines for the first dance. Everything was so easy, we were sent the booking confirmation and everything was booked in via email. We received a phone call 7 days before the wedding from Ross the DJ to discuss our playlist we created via their online portal, which is an amazing feature.

Ross was amazing on the night, not only does he look the part, but his music and presence on the microphone is amazing! He has everyone up on the dance floor all night.

I am so glad i chose RCT Entertainment & Events, i would recommend them to everyone. You wedding reception will be transformed and the atmosphere becomes electric!

Thanks again guys
