Dj karlton is 10/10

DJ Karlton took our wedding to new heights within minutes of his arrival! We cannot recommend him enough. If you’re looking for a DJ who is easygoing and can read a room like no one else, you HAVE to book DJ Karlton! His commitment to his craft is clear as our dance floor was NEVER empty at any point during his visit to us. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s just isn’t enough 🙌🏼

Highly recommend!!

DJ Karlton was absolutely incredible at our wedding! From start to finish, he kept the energy high, the dance floor packed, and our guests raving about the music. He perfectly curated a playlist that matched our vibe, seamlessly transitioning between songs and reading the crowd like a true professional.

Not only is he an amazing DJ, but he’s also incredibly easy to work with—responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making the night unforgettable. If you’re looking for someone to bring the party to life, DJ Karlton is the one!

Thank you for making our wedding night so special. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! Highly recommend!

Amazing DJ, brings the party

Karlton was brilliant all night! His communication before and understanding what music we wanted was brilliant. The rustic rig available was perfect for our day. Music is such a huge part of both our lives and so getting to share special songs with our families and friends are memories we will cherish forever, thank you to Karlton for helping make that happen. He knew exactly what song to play when and his line up was amazing, if there was ever a song that people weren’t vibing with (didn’t happen much at all) then he was so attentive that he noticed straight away and switched to something else. I glanced over a few times and just saw him with a big beaming smile on his face watching us all enjoy ourselves. Would recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a DJ. He even took pics for us that he sent a couple of days after and they were brilliant too. Everyone had the party of their lives.

Amazing DJ and Photo Booth for our Wedding!

DJ Karlton recently DJ’d and provided the photobooth for our wedding, from start to finish the service was superb!

Great communication and professional in set up before the event and on the day our dance floor wasn’t empty all evening. Photo Booth was an absolute hit with our guests, cannot fault the service and highly recommend!

Simply the best!

Simply the best!! We had DJ Karlton at our wedding… he is an incredible DJ and also a really nice guy. Really easy to deal with. Played all the right songs to keep the crowd going and even brings his own camera to take photos to send on. 5*, couldn’t recommend highly enough

Excellent DJ

Kartlon was everything we hoped for and more! He read the room so well and people were always up dancing. It was fantastic seeing all his fantastic props from the magic mirror fill the dance floor! The selection of photos he took throughout the night was a big bonus too. Thank you so much and we hope to party with you again one day!

Fantastic DJ & Magic Mirror!

We chose Karlton for our DJ at our wedding on 15/10/24 from lots of recommendations and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Karlton was very friendly, interacted with the crowd and no request was too big. Communication was fab prior to the event where Karlton asked some questions on what kind of music we do and don't want playing making the evening personalised to us. We also chose to have the Magic Mirror which was such a hit with our guests. They were taking photos all night! I would highly recommend Karlton for any function - great value for money!! Thank you again for making our wedding night memorable!

Great music

Great music! We went for the rustic booth to fit with the barn venue aesthetic and it looked amazing. Martin arrived on time and worked with the venue to get the sound system set up. We went a playlist beforehand and most of the songs from the list were played.

What a night!

I was genuinely worried about whether people would be up and dancing, an evening reception can be a long time to keep people entertained, especially during long sunny nights in summer. Well... Our dancefloor was full all night! We all had such a good night it was amazing! It never fell flat and Karlton was great at putting something on for everyone - even my grandma was up and dancing. He was so helpful during the planning process and sorting out first dance songs, helping us organise our thoughts with having different playlists he could pull from. No cheesy wedding DJ, it was perfect, thank you!

Dancefloor was packed all night long

DJ Karlton DJ'd at our wedding this month and our dancefloor was packed all night long and every song was an absolute banger. He also brought along the magic mirror photobooth which was one of the biggest highlights of the day - the photobooth assistant put together the most amazing photobook on the night with all of the pictures and its something we will cherish forever! Would highly recommend for your wedding or any event that you want the dancefloor to be booming :) Amalia & Matt

Lisa Etheridge

The most perfect DJ for our wedding. Genuinely couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Had the dance floor filled all night and everyone commented on how perfect the song choices were.

Karlton even surprised us with taking extra photos throughout the evening so we could remember the night.

Perfect in every way. Thank you so much Karlton!
