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 🙌🏼

DJ Karlton

I had Karlton at my wedding on Thursday and he was amazing! So friendly and professional but more importantly, absolutely brought the party to the wedding. It wasn't a massive wedding but people were on the floor until the lights came on and even then we didn't want to leave. Every time I tried to leave to rest my feet another banger came on and I was back again 🤣 thank you so much again Karlton, I'd recommend you all day long

Feeling lucky we had an incredible and experienced DJ like Karlton!

Karlton Dj’d at our wedding and we were beyond happy with our choice! From the start, Karlton was so attentive towards us and accommodating of our requests for the big day. He arrived early to set up, transitioned us from dinner to partying so well and it was a truly incredible evening filled with so many fun songs that got people dancing! We absolutely loved what he did with our first dance song to make our dreams the reality and we can’t thank him enough for that especially! This showcased his experience and expertise and he was responsive to what people were dancing to and played a variety of genres so that everyone danced! Will definitely be recommending to anyone who needs a fab DJ.

More than Helpful, Flexible and fun

Karlton was the DJ at our wedding in July 2023 and was great from the beginning, and even took pictures of some of our dancing and uploaded it afterwards for us. He was punctual, had a review of our playlists before and seamlessly mixed tracks together and took note of the audience, and even did well mixing Iranian & British music together!

Amazing Dj

Karlton read the evening perfectly and kept the dance floor full start to finish. He had everyone up on the dance floor from our grandparents to a fabulous indie disco at the end of the evening. We all had such a great evening so much so I didn’t want to leave the dance floor!
Thank you for making our evening so fantastic! We would 100% recommend ;)

Book book book!!!

My husband and I had DJ Karlton at our wedding at Pendrell Hall in November. He was absolutely fantastic! Before the music started, he came and introduced himself, which I found extremely respectful. We sent Karlton a playlist of music prior to the wedding and he 100% listened to what we wanted. He captured the mood of the room and knew what to play and when to keep everyone on the dance floor. I am not normally one for dancing, but I did not sit down once all night. I cannot recommend Karlton enough and would definitely use him again for any events in the future. From start to finish he has been professionally and responsive and has even sent us some lovely pictures of our wedding. Thank you Karlton for a memorable day😊

Perfect- highly recommended

We hired Karlton as the DJ for our wedding last weekend and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. His communication from the start was excellent - he listened and understood what we wanted and always responded promptly to emails. On the day he was punctual, professional and fun. He had people dancing all night and our guest commented on the quality of the music and how great Karlton was. We also hired the magic mirror which we all loved. Thanks for helping make our day special.

Epic, made our day complete.

Karlton and Martin were amazing.
Karlton was able to read the room, change the music to keep people dancing. He played a great range of genres as well. He was also like having a night photographer
Martin was so fun on the magic mirror. Always keen to help and multitasking to the max.
It made our day finish with a bang!

Amazing and accomondating.

DJ Karlton had our guests dancing all night long. We are a couple with a love for rock and metal so, we were very happy when DJ Karlton played the end of the evening out with some of our personal favourites. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a DJ.

Brilliant and Essential

We were only going to have a small quiet wedding without a DJ. However, after looking though some DJ's we found DJ Karlton and decided to give it a go and boy we did not regret it! We created a playlist with a strange and eclectic range of music and DJ Karlton tailored the night to suit us and our guests perfectly. He knew just what to play and when to keep the party going, we even got plenty of bonus dancing party photos of everyone enjoying themselves. Absolutely brilliant, thank you very much for a great night!

Brilliant Service & Amazing Evening

Me and my wife booked Karlton for our wedding at Hanbury Wedding Barn. Prior to the wedding, Karlton was extremely punctual in sending us all the documents required and we sent Karlton a list of 20 songs as an example of the type of music mix we were after and trusted him with the rest.

Karlton not only smashed the brief but was extremely engaging with out guests all night and his introduction of glow sticks on the dance floor went down a treat.

Finally, Karltons follow up communication has been great, even going as far as taking pictures himself throughout the night to send to us for our memories.

We would recommend Karlton to anybody in a heartbeat and we are grateful for his incredible service and for making our wedding evening everything we had hoped for.
