Frequently asked questions.

Absolutely, I've done lots of LGBTQ+ weddings so far and look forward to doing many more. Love is love and should be celebrated equally no matter which wonderful form it takes. 

There is no shortage of mobile disco companies out there that are ‘one stop shops’ for all kinds of props and gimmicks (I can even suggest a couple of excellent ones for you). However I am not one of them.

My focus is on great sound, cool lights, and awesome DJing.

Whilst I have been specialising in wedding DJing for over a decade now I also perform regularly at corporate functions and other types of parties as well.

I don't do karaoke or kids discos.

Rest easy, I'm not too cool to play the classics and I won't be turning your reception party into a rave (unless you want me to). My absolute priority is to make sure that every last person at your reception has fun dancing to the songs they know and love, therefore a lot of what goes into my sets gets played at other weddings (it's the nature of the wedding game), but a lot of it doesn't. Finding those tunes that haven't been flogged to death year after year is vital to getting a great crowd reaction. I create a lot of mash-ups and use a lot of bootlegs (unofficial remixes often made by myself or fellow DJ friends) to create something that is unique to your party, reflecting your tastes, however mainstream or alternative they may be.

I have a consultation form that I ask my clients to fill out in advance that covers everything I need to know to make sure you hear all the kinds of things you both like and nothing you don't. Of course, should you be looking for something a little (or a lot) less mainstream at any point in the evening, then I've got you covered with my enormous collections of house, hip-hop, garage, drum and bass and a dozen other genres, in a way very few other wedding DJs can provide. Shout out to my jungle massive.

In a few of words? Energetic, focused, creative, fun. I get through an enormous amount of music in my sets, all tightly mixed whilst playing to the crowd at all times, with good use of effects, interesting song transitions and lots of imaginative switch ups coming out of leftfield. I make a lot of my own edits, meaning that I'll cut out the less danceable parts of a song to get a much snappier, 'to the point' set. A lot of my reviews use the word passionate about me and for good reason. I love what I do and it shows.

You know that DJ, sat in the corner with their head buried in a laptop, working their way through a playlist that 'seemed to work fine last time', waiting to finish so they can pack up and go home? Well, I am the exact opposite of this.

Everyone has favourite tunes that they know are guaranteed to get them and their friends on the dance floor, and believe me, I DEFINITELY want to know about them. However I'm really only after about 10-20 tunes maximum, the ones that mean something special to you that I might not guess to play. If you give me a spreadsheet of 200 songs that you have decided will make 'the ultimate best dance party of all time ever ever' then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. Nor am I going to send you to an online database to spend hours trawling through decades of music, yaying or naying each one. I've spent years perfecting the art of choosing the right tune at the right time so you don't have to. So, let me do me and you guys concentrate on busting out your best moves on the dance floor.

I'll be dressed smartly to blend in with your guests, so you can expect me to fix up, look sharp and like I belong at your wedding.

There is no extra cost for any unplanned extra hours. I'll keep playing until the party is over.

Requests are a double edged sword. From the heavily inebriated uncle asking if I can play "that song that was on Match of the Day last weekend" to the flurry of bridesmaids demanding "DOLLY PARTON, NEXT SONG!". Requests can be a blessing or a curse, so knowing how to politely decline the ones that will kill the vibe, and identifying which are insider dance floor weapons is key here. Handling requests can be one of the toughest aspects of being a DJ and experience is vital. Fortunately I have well over a decade of it. I got you.

Everybody loves a great band, myself included. But it's an extremely common dilemma. You need at least four hours of entertainment but the band is only offering two. Not only does this create a lull in the middle when everyone is fired up at a peak time, but it also typically leaves you with an hour (or more) at the end after the band has finished. Pre-arranged playlists might fill the silence, but how can you be sure that everyone will keep dancing and the party won't just end with a whimper. This is exactly where an experienced DJ will pick the songs that specifically compliment the band's set. Bands tend to cover the big sing-a-long rock, pop and motown anthems, which is why I will work with them to make sure that the music I play brings a whole fresh new feel and atmosphere to proceedings, giving you the best of both worlds. And if the drummer says he can DJ as well, then make sure to verify this beforehand by seeing good evidence they can. I would no more hire a drummer to DJ at my wedding than I would attempt to play the drums at theirs.

Firstly, I highly recommend a video call to get to know each other a little bit . When you're all good and ready the booking process is very straight forward. I just need a 50% retainer (of the package before add ons and travel expenses) to be paid by online transfer, together with a signed booking contract, and the date is yours.
