Mr & Mrs NixonWedding - Armathwaite Hall

“Expectations exceeded, a rarity indeed... Thank you for not only meeting our very specific music requirements, but for specialising in them. It is no longer considered a job when you love what you do, and that shone through. Thank you for making our very special day.”

Ross & BryoniWedding - The Inn On The Lake

“We both just want to say a huge thank you for your part in making our day so special. Everyone loved the music and great to see people up and dancing all night (including some who can’t usually be dragged onto the dancefloor!). It was the perfect mix of classic bangers and more modern tunes. Honestly, great job! All the best and thanks again”

Sarah & JoWedding - New House Farm

“David DJ'd for us at New House Farm. He was always prompt with email replies and really easy to deal with. We asked that he simply play the music rather than encouraging people to get up and dance, which he did. He played our guests choices and everyone was up dancing straight away until the end of the night! We would definitely recommend him.”

“It was brilliant to book a DJ that was so accommodating and let us play literally anything we wanted! Thanks for helping to make our wedding one of the best parties we’ve ever been to!”
