Wow, what an evening that was! We just wanted to reach out and say thank you for being such an incredible evening DJ.
The songs were absolutely perfect, and created a chill vibe for when it needed to be but also got everyone (especially me- Kieran) up on the dance floor.You were absolutely brilliant and we couldn’t have asked for better entertainment, it was the perfect end to what was a magical day.
Thank you again for being part of our special day.
Kieran and Claudia – The Inn On The Lake, April, 2026.

We wanted to get in touch to say thank you so very much for the music at our wedding. We were so happy with the choices and everything in the run up to the day was perfect. We felt really confident with Francesca having recommended yourselves as it was, but it was just great working with you. Our guests absolutely loved the music. Ellie and I loved dancing through the evening and the choices just kept the atmosphere alive how ever many people were or were not on the floor.
With such a mix of kids and adults we were a bit nervous about how the evening would work but the set really kept things moving and the delivery just felt perfect and very us. The choices as well were clearly considered and responsive to our guests and it was so much appreciated.
Thank you so much for helping to make our day and our evening so incredibly memorable. We’ll always remember dancing through the night with such wonderful music, feeling so happy and surrounded by so much love and joy and the part that Dancing In The Dark played in that was by no means a small one!
Andy & Ellie – Low Hall The Lakes, January, 2026.

Nicola, (Now Mrs Ramsden), The Inn On The Lake – March, 2024.

Les was an absolutely phenomenal DJ, the dance floor never got empty which is just what we wanted, for our wedding at Askham Hall. He took on board what we had said that people had requested beforehand. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!.
Kim & Kenny, Askham Hall – December, 2023

It was the perfect mix of classic bangers and more modern tunes. Honestly, great job.

Just want to say a massive thank you to you for our wedding on Saturday just gone it was a fantastic event made even better by Ryan who had the place rocking all night.
We have had comments from people to say it is one of the best nights they have had and that the uplighting was great. Many thanks for everything.
Martin Thomas, Broadoaks Country House – March, 2023

I wanted to send a note of thanks on behalf of myself and my wife  Karen for the fantastic job you did in bringing the party to our wedding celebrations. We know we didn’t make it easy and I’m sure you’ve played gigs with more freedom than ours before, but by indulging our wishes and playing from the playlist provided you made the night as outrageously fun as we’d imagined it would be. Everyone has since remarked upon what a great time they had (one of Karen’s uncles even said it was the best night of his life!) and the music was absolutely central to that.
Thank you for being with me every step of the way and for providing a compassionate and understanding ear when it was needed. Thank you for your patience and your canny judgement in selecting the right songs at exactly the right times. You  helped contribute in a huge way to our wedding and we’ll cherish those memories on the dance floor with fondness.  I got to see friends and family dance for the first time. We all lost our voices screaming along at the top of our lungs. Feet no doubt ached from all the “dancing” they did. We had a total blast and it really capped off the most euphoric of days.
So thank you both so much for being the perfect DJ service for our wedding. We really appreciate it.
Karen & David, Hidden River Barn – December, 2022

On behalf of myself and Ric we would like to thank Dancing in the Dark for a fantastic DJ set at our wedding at Broadoaks, the DJ played some great songs and got everybody Dancing!He also performed some magic tricks some of the guests which was a lovely suprise! We would not hesitate to recommend you to friends and family looking for a DJ.

Thank you so, so much for helping to make our wedding evening party so amazing, you are just brilliant!!

Alice, Askham Hall – August, 2022

Just We to say a huge thank you from myself and Stephen for ensuring that everybody had a great night on Thursday. We were worried on the lead up to the wedding about the reception as we didn’t have many guests, but we honestly had the best time and you played some great songs. People are still talking about it now and my dad has started to make a playlist of all the songs you played so that he can remember what was a great night.
I couldn’t believe how fast it went and I could have carried on dancing well into the early hours!
Thank you again.
Jennie & Stephen, The Inn On The Lake – May, 2022.

I just wanted to get in touch and say thank you for the great work you did at our wedding at the Hundith Hill Hotel last weekend. Everything was spot on and what we hoped for – Ryan was brilliant and will certainly be recommending you guys to friends and family in the future!
Thanks again.
Sarah & Marc, Hundith Hill – April, 2022.

Paul and I just wanted to say thank you so much for DJ’ing at our wedding at Inn on the Lake on 26 March.
We particularly liked how you played background music initially and turned up the volume later on. You were happy to mix our playlist and were so accommodating of the requests from our guests and also us – Paul really appreciated that you were able to change the playlist at last minute so that Mr Brightside was the last song!!
Our guests loved the music and the dancing for the last 2-3 hours was one of the highlights of our wedding, so we are really appreciative of the great job that you did!
Paul and Alison, The Inn On The Lake – March, 2022.

Thank you sooo much to David and the team for putting on an amazing set for our wedding! The music was perfect for us, a good mix of everything to please everyone there of all ages! The DJ happily took my annoying requests all night long with no moaning. Music flowed really well and everyone had such a great time dancing all night to your music. Thank you again!!
Danielle, Broadoaks Country House – February, 2022.

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.
Sarah & Jo, New House Farm – January, 2022.

Absolutely a 5* DJ. David ensured that the dance floor was not once empty, ALL NIGHT! Dancing In The Dark listened to all of our requests, endured the long list of family song requests and kept the night flowing fantastically. Not once was there a lull in the night, everything remained light, fun and simply magical. Thank you! I could not recommend you enough, plus, you got some fantastic photos of the evening for us! Thanks again!
Leonie & Stefan, The Inn On The Lake – December, 2021.

Thank you so much for DJing our wedding at The Inn On The Lake. You were so accommodating of our playlist and requests on the night which made it a really personal experience to us, and the atmosphere was electric! Everybody got up for a bop during the night and there were a good number of us who danced on to midnight, we had so much fun! After two postponements and 18 months indoors, we were so excited for a a big celebration with our family and friends, and the evening do party beyond delivered, so thank you for your role in making our day so special and memorable.

Thank you so much for being such an incredible DJ at our wedding the other week. I was in the spa the next day and the lady on reception said she really enjoyed working that night because she could have a dance while at work.
Abbi & Dom, Armathwaite Hall. August, 2021.

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for being part of our wedding night. We have never been to an event where all of the requested songs are played, despite the range of music and from the amount of people on the dance floor you could tell that this was greatly appreciated.
Thank you for all of your hard work and for making our evening so personal and special to us.
Amie & Rob, The Inn On The Lake. August 2021.

Emma and I just wanted to email you to say thank you so much for DJing our wedding. You were so welcoming, approachable and helpful and it just made the whole evening feel more relaxed. Everyone has commented on how much they enjoyed the whole day and the evening so we wanted to say thank you for your role in that too.

Thanks again for saving the day last minute, really appreciate it.
Steph & Jon, Lodore Falls Weddings, Keswick – June, 2021.

David was an absolute gentleman at my daughter’s wedding! He did all he could to ensure she had a perfect night! He also encouraged all our guests to request a song. I highly recommend his service. We all had a fabulous time.
Alexia Taylor-Spencer, The Inn On The Lake – December, 2019.

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!
Alannah & Mark, The Lingholm Estate, Keswick – November, 2019.

Linda & Rob Parker, Lodore Falls Hotel – September, 2019.

David is an amazing DJ, we chose David after seeing his fab photos and reviews and meeting him at the inn on the lake wedding fair! He did not disappoint us, the reception was so much fun we had the best night!!! Unfortunately we had to change the date of our wedding due to my mum being poorly and David was so accommodating and understanding and I’m so happy he could still provide the evening entertainment for us for the new date. Everyone was dancing all night, he played all the songs we love and I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a top quality DJ – thanks so much David!!
The Inn On The Lake – December, 2019. Katy Winnard.

Bloody fantastic ! Our DJ, Ryan, was lovely and made sure everyone at the wedding was dancing all night. He played all of our random music requests and literally we couldn’t have been happier with the service ! Highly recommend. Thanks again. XX
New House Farm, Lorton, Cockermouth – December, 2019. Eve & Jonny.

David was our DJ on the 07.12.19. He played alongside our band and was fantastic. I didn’t give him a song list, he just read the audience. He kept the guests dancing right until the last dance. Highly recommend for anyone looking to book a wedding DJ.
The Inn On The Lake – December, 2019. Lisa & Shaun Durkin.

We booked David for our wedding at Inn On The Lake and he has been great from start through to finish, being very easy and quick to contact, and being very helpful and professional throughout the contact we had, and being perfect again when it came to the day, David came over had a chat with us checking if there was anything we needed and did so throughout the night, he played great music all night so we had the dance floor packed the entire night which is what any bride and groom wants. Could not recommended David highly enough.
The Inn On The Lake – August, 2019. Janet & Liam Worthington

David offers a first class service. I found I had about 364 songs that I loved and I only needed about a 100 without his time and advice helping me to categorise my playlist of favourite songs I would never have been able to condense down to the 100 needed. He took out the time to meet in person and go through any dedications our first dance and helped select floor fillers. I highly recommend booking David for ANY event or party my wedding guests danced until they dropped. Thanks again!
The Inn On The Lake – May, 2019. Tina & Robert Patia

We booked Dancing in the Dark for our wedding on 20th April at New House Farm. What can I say, David was fantastic! He was on site to provide our ceremony music, up until our evening do. Our dance floor was never empty, in fact we have had so many comments that it was the funnest evening do attended by many of our guests! I have no hesitation to recommend David as a wedding DJ for future bride and grooms! All the best, Steph.
