THINGS MY CLIENTS HAVE SAID ABOUT ME

 

SAM & LAURA - HANBURY BARN

Wow - What a night! Not just any 'Wedding DJ'

Beyond amazing! We couldn't have been more impressed with Sebastian for his services. Where to begin....! Groom is a sound engineer by trade and so straight away, a picky person! As a couple, we have travelled to various festivals, raves, concerts and gigs over the years and so we had a very wide (and conflicting) music taste. After too many bad wedding DJs, we were so relieved to find someone to take time and get a vibe of what we wanted rather than just 'rinse and repeat' the same old (safe) playlist. As music was really important for us, we booked for the whole day, as we wanted proper organisation of the music from start to finish. We probably spoke to Sebastian the most out of our suppliers, he took time to get to know our tastes and plan for the day and even was happy to accommodate a last-minute curve ball from the venue in what systems were available to him. His equipment was groom approved and sounded great, set up looked great and we have had so many comments about how fun the evening was, how good the music was and what tunes he was mixing and playing. He is a smashing guy too and no ego attached. Could go on for ages really - but book Offbeat with confidence for sure and enjoy your wedding evening!

TOMMY & BEX - KEW GARDENS

When we started looking for a DJ for our wedding we really weren’t at all sure that we would actually find what we were looking for, a genuinely talented DJ who could mix and mash-up their way through all the classic crowd pleasers as well as some alternative dance music all to the kind of standard that we wanted. We listened to TONS of other wedding DJ mixes and they all felt so flat and predictable. When we heard Sebastian’s mixtapes and saw that he had performed at some of our favourite venues and festivals we just couldn’t believe our luck and after a Zoom call we didn’t hesitate to book him for our reception.

On the day he smashed out a really fun little warm-up set after the wedding breakfast that got everyone buzzing for what was to come and in the evening he played the most fantastic mix of both things you always hear at weddings and things you never hear at weddings, and it all just worked SO SO WELL. No one left the dance floor all night and the atmosphere was insane. He mixes with such confidence, he just owns the room.

Sebastian is definitely NOT what most people would call a ‘wedding DJ’. He is simply an incredibly talented and hugely knowledgeable 'real' DJ who smashes weddings because he can (and clearly loves doing it). I’ve been to many reception parties and seen some really good DJs before but Sebastian is in a whole other league.

We are so grateful that someone like him is out there doing weddings and that he was available to do ours, he was responsible for so much of how well the night went down and made us so proud of the party we were able to throw for our friends and family. It just wouldn’t have been the same without him. 

A lovely guy and a first rate DJ.

Thank you SO MUCH for everything you absolute HERO!

DAVID & GENEVIEVE - COTSWOLDS RESIDENCE

No kidding, Sebastian has completely changed our perception of what a wedding reception party can be. We were expecting big things as he was recommended so highly to us by a colleague, but honestly, he had the whole wedding party in the palm of his hand all evening, dancing to stuff we never dreamt would work so well at a wedding. Sebastian played such an eclectic and imaginative set all mixed with the natural touch of a man who’s been doing this his whole life. If you’re finally bored of hearing the same old nonsense at every single wedding you attend and want something that’s just the perfect amount of ‘cool’ to set yours apart, then look no further than Offbeat. To quote my little brother, the DJing was “pure vibes”.

JEN & MARK - FULHAM PALACE

An amazing and unforgettable party and all thanks to you. Everyone from my mum to the hardcore rave crew said how great the music was, and considering your set was over 7 hours and you had to satisfy such a diverse range of people you were simply OUTSTANDING. Banger followed banger, followed banger, most of which we would never have thought to put on our playlist. Shapes were thrown all night long. It was absolutely WICKED!

There's good DJs, there's great DJ's. Then there's Sebastian. If you are lucky enough to have the chance, book him and don't look back.

LILY & PATRICK - POLTIMORE HOUSE 

Sebastian! What a fantastic guy and awesome DJ! Good music was such an important part of our wedding, we gave Sebastian quite a mix of genres and artists as a guideline and with his great DJing magic and talent- he absolutely smashed it! Everyone has commented on how good the music was, I want to hear it all over again! He also multi tasked and showed my curious 10 yo son how to work the decks! He's a seriously talented and hard working guy with a great knowledge and passion for good music. I wish we had another excuse to hire him again! 

Thanks Sebastian!

 
JAKE & KELLY - ANRAN

Wow, where to start?? Firstly 5 stars is not enough to do justice to just how amazing Seb was both on our big day and also in the run up to it. We met to discuss music tastes and from that moment Seb was very proactive and pretty much arranged himself to be where we needed when we needed. It was quite literally effortless!! 

On the day itself Seb was there during the day as well as the evening and his choice of background music through our meal and drinks reception was absolutely perfect. We would never have been able to suggest the music genres he played but he saw the venue and the guests and just absolutely nailed it. Again, effortless.

We were torn for our first dance between two very different tracks (a Jamie Lawson song and a drum and bass remix of Hello by Adele). We spoke to Seb and he said he could easily mix one to the other and on the night it was perfect. As soon as our dance finished the dance floor was full for the next 3 hours.

All of our guests were raving about our wedding DJ the following day and we can't thank Seb enough for the service he provided.
Perfect doesn't come close. Epic is almost there but still doesn't do it justice!!!
If anyone wants the perfect wedding DJ then please look no further and just book Seb immediately. I absolutely guarantee you will not regret it.

PAUL & BRITTANY - CORNWALL FAMILY HOME

Sebastian is as much an inspirational party guru as a DJ. We'd originally wanted a big 8 piece band for our wedding but they were going to blow out our budget so we looked into DJs. Sebastian was exactly what we were looking for and was fantastic to work with from start to finish, going above and beyond to make our day the best ever. Our guests are still raving about the fun they had and his tunes, style and set-up made for the perfect evening.

Cannot recommend him highly enough.

SARAH & MAC - KNIGHTOR WINERY
After reading Sebastians website we could tell he was passionate about what he does, something which was so important for us as music lovers! From the moment we got in touch with him, we knew he was the right DJ for us. Sebastian's communication via email and text was very efficient. We also had some zoom calls so that he could really get to know us a couple. We enjoyed filling out the form for Sebastian which showed him the music we did and didn't like. It made us feel like we were getting a really personal service.
 
Sebastian went above and beyond making sure everything was set up perfectly, ready for the day. This made us feel so much more relaxed.
On the day, he played music for our day and evening reception and the dance floor was never empty! So many of our guests commented on what an amazing DJ he was and how they couldn't stop dancing. We also had my sisters band playing a couple of sets during the evening and Sebastian was more than accommodating with them. He worked together with them to make sure they had the space they needed, they arranged the best times to play, he got all our guests warmed up ready for the band and even let the band borrow some of his tech equipment which I know they really appreciated.
 
Sebastian is an absolute top bloke and he made our wedding day the epic party we wanted it to be. His passion towards what he does is refreshing and it's great to see how much he loves creating a great atmosphere. We really can't thank Sebastian enough for all his hard work. It was everything we wanted for our wedding day!
ANDY & ADELE - UPTON BARN 

I have to be honest I wasn’t a fan of dj’s at weddings- I always thought a band was the way to go! Then I saw Sebastian at a friends wedding last year and he blew us away and so we decided to take a chance and booked him! Best decision we ever made! Customer service was impeccable from start to end, often going above and beyond. On hearing that we wanted to do a medley for our first dance, Weeks before the wedding he created a mix for our first dance without being asked so that we could practice the timings, incredibly helpful- it went amazing on the night! Sebastian put on a great show, incredible set, great music and such charisma- personality really came thru while dancing and mixing- would highly recommend! You would not be disappointed!

ANE & ALEX - POLZEATH

"WOW! - What can I say? Me and Ane were sooo nervous about choosing the right DJ for our night, and hearing what so many other mobile DJs had to say when pitching their business to us did very little to allay those fears… 

Then we found Offbeat! A 40 minute chat on Zoom to Sebastian and we just knew that we had found our man. Clearly utterly passionate and hugely knowledgable about DJing and music, we only had to give him a starting idea for what we wanted and before long we were genuinely excited to have him on board. Everything in the run-up was great, emails and phone calls answered promptly and with great advice from his years of experience. The answer to all our requests and demands was always a resounding “Yes!”.

Needless to say on the night he didn’t disappoint, in fact he totally blew us all away. For the pre-meal tunes on our arrival to go with the champagne and cocktails we served, he hit the nail on the head with a blend of Reggae and Swing, a really uplifting mix that set the tone perfectly. For the cake cutting ceremony he blended all the tunes we gave him to perform a mini-mix and then he seamlessly moved into the first dance, where everyone piled on to the dance floor, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that that is where they stayed for the rest of the night (3am!). Me and my friends were particularly into Drum and Bass at university and when the time was right he launched into this with tremendous skill and enthusiasm. His moves and energy were infectious! My wife is Costa Rican and had a lot of family over and he managed to squeeze in many Dancehall and Latino tracks that had both contingents dancing away together in perfect harmony.

​His progression of the night through the genres was perfectly paced and he made sure that no-one was left out. His lighting set-up and fantastic sound system gave us just the atmosphere we were looking for and we are so happy that we found him. He turned the night into a proper party (as opposed to just a ‘wedding disco’) that we’ll never forget.

If you get the chance, just book him, you won’t regret it."

MARK & ALETIA - GLOUCESTERSHIRE FAMILY HOME

Sebastian, you absolute SUPERSTAR! Despite all your rave reviews and big reputation we were still anxious that we wouldn't get the party we really wanted (experience taught us that wedding discos don't always end with a bang) but as soon as you came on those doubts evaporated and we knew that we could just enjoy the evening. The music selection was perfect and your mixing kept everyone on the dancefloor the whole night. Our memories of everyone lifting us both up at the end of the night, with all our friends singing their hearts out and celebrating to the very end are priceless and will stay with us forever. We wish you the best of luck with everything (but you honestly don't need it!). Love from the new Mr. & Mrs Cameron! x
