Alastair Reay Wedding DJ & Host

Packed Dancefloors | Personal Service | No Agency DJs

About

Most wedding DJs play music.

I focus on making sure your dancefloor is full.

Hi, I’m Alastair — a professional wedding DJ & host specialising in creating busy, high-energy evenings that feel natural, not forced.

When you book me, you get me.
No agencies. No substitutes. No uncertainty.

From first enquiry to last song, everything is handled personally — so you know exactly what to expect on your wedding night.

What You Can Expect

A great wedding evening isn’t just a playlist — it’s timing, reading the room, and knowing what to play next.

That’s where I come in.

  • Music mixed live to keep the energy building
  • The right songs at the right time (not random playlists)
  • A packed dancefloor that stays busy
  • A smooth, well-run evening from start to finish

No awkward gaps. No empty floor. No guesswork.

Built Around You

Your wedding isn’t a template — and your music shouldn’t be either.

You’ll be able to:

  • Choose your must-play songs
  • Set the overall vibe and style
  • Add a do-not-play list
  • Plan key moments like your first dance

I’ll then shape the night around you and your guests.

What’s Included

  • Up to 5 hours DJ performance
  • Professional RCF sound system
  • Dynamic dancefloor lighting
  • Choice of DJ booth (black, white, or starlit)
  • Microphone for speeches & announcements
  • Full setup & pack down (outside performance time)
  • Travel time included

Hosting

If you want your evening to flow properly, I can also act as your host — making announcements, guiding guests, and keeping everything running smoothly without it feeling over the top.

Where I Work

Based in the North East, covering:
County Durham | Newcastle | North Yorkshire | Northumberland
Available UK-wide for the right wedding.

Why Couples Book Me

  • They don’t want to risk a quiet dancefloor
  • They want a DJ who actually cares about the night
  • They like knowing exactly who they’re getting
  • They want it done properly, without stress

Amazing party!!

We had such an amazing night! From start to finish Alastair made it easy. Excellent communication, he explained everything to us and was happy to speak to us whenever we needed to ask questions. He took requests and listened to what we wanted. We booked a few extras which were amazing! The cold sparks and dancing on clouds made our first dance magical, a moment we will never forget. Alastair was fantastic at selecting music to suit all of our party throughout the night while also playing our requests. We are really happy we booked Alastair and would definitely recommend him if you want somebody reliable, friendly and fantastic at making your party a huuuge success.

Best wedding DJ ever!

Alastair was absolutely amazing! We are an international couple, with a local groom and a Brazilian/French bride, and our guests came from nine different countries! We sent him a simple playlist with a mix of Brazilian music, 80’s disco and rock. Alastair picked tunes within our request and managed to please all the guests. Our dance floor was full all night! It was amazing. Don’t look any further, this is your DJ!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
