Amazing dj

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. From start to finish, everything was seamless and incredibly well organised. The music was spot on all night, perfectly balancing our requests with songs that kept the dance floor full. Our guests of all ages were up dancing, and we received so many compliments on the music. Thank you for being such a huge part of our special day and for creating a party. We would highly recommend DJ Karlton to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and talented wedding DJ.

Best decision!

Karlton was amazing, the dance floor was filled ALL NIGHT. The music choices were amazing and changed with the vibe of the time of night.
I will 100% be using Karlton every time I need a DJ.
Easy to book, great price and such a genuine lovely person. Can’t thank him enough for the atmosphere he created. The amount of guests that came up to me and said how great he was, shows what a great decision we made to chose him.

The best end to the best day!!

Karlton was so helpful from start to finish. We were really lucky that he was available for our wedding date. On our initial virtual call he talked us through everything and asked us a few questions which really helped with planning. All this extra consideration for details really helped the day to flow into the evening smoothly.

We shared a playlist with Karlton which he used as a framework and he through in some absolute bangers on top. The dance floor was busy all night and everyone had the best time. So good to see everyone happy and letting their hair down. He also took a few extra photos for us which was great as our photographer had gone by around 9. Lovely to have those extra memories!

Thank you Karlton for everything you did! I’m so pleased we found you!

Amazing DJ🤩

Karlton was amazing at our wedding this weekend. He had a great mix of tunes for everyone and included personal songs to us. He had the songs in a perfect order and kept everyone on the dance floor. It was packed all night! Karlton even took some of his own photos on a camera and shared a link for everyone to see the pictures after the wedding - going above and beyond our expectations of a dj. He was punctual, professional and everyone loved the night! We couldn’t have asked for a better night or a better dj.

Amazing Dj - Dj Karlton!!

We had Dj Karlton at our wedding and it’s one of the best decisions we made for the day! He was so responsive from the get go and really helpful and friendly. We love a good party and he really made that happen for us, the music was perfect for us from the minute he started right up until the last song, I don’t think the dancefloor was ever empty. I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you so much again Karlton, from Mr & Mrs Holmes! 29.09.25

Fabulous Wedding DJ!

DJ Karlton played at our wedding celebration party last weekend and he was absolutely amazing! He played a fantastic range of music which everyone thoroughly enjoyed, and then later on kept a bunch of us old ravers extremely happy with some absolute bangers and top class mixing skills! Karlton is so friendly and professional and really knows what he's doing. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ and loads of our guests told us afterwards that they thought he was great. We will definitely be asking him back for any future parties!

Made Our Wedding Extra Special.


"From the very first online call, Karlton was an absolute professional and brought such a fun, welcoming energy – something that meant the world to me and my husband as an LGBTQ+ couple. He really listened to everything we wanted, was so open and accepting of our music choices, and made us feel completely at ease.

On the night, he delivered pure pop bangers and non-stop pride anthems, with the perfect flow that kept everyone on the dancefloor at some point. We had countless guests coming up to us raving about how incredible the DJ was and how much they loved the music. Karlton truly turned our wedding into an unforgettable celebration.

The atmosphere he created with his lights and setup was flawless. Everything – from the sound, to the microphones, to the lighting – worked seamlessly, and the kids were mesmerised by the lights all night long. It brought back such fun, nostalgic memories of school discos, but elevated into the perfect wedding party.

Karlton didn’t just play music – he created memories, and made our wedding night everything we dreamed of and more. We honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better.

Thank you again, Karlton – you were amazing

DJ Karlton was amazing. Best wedding DJ!

Karlton was absolutely incredible from the run up to the big day he was so helpful and responded to any queries we had so quickly. He was so good at understanding exactly what type of vibe we wanted for the party in the evening. His set up is great with choices to match the style of your venue/wedding theme. He was so friendly and put us at ease with how professional and helpful he was. He knew exactly how to keep a crowd on the dancefloor, which was packed all evening as he read the room perfectly and kept everyone dancing away all night long. We would highly recommend him to everyone no matter the occasion and will definitely book him again in the future.

Fantastic Wedding DJ

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Karlton was brilliant as our wedding DJ. He had the crowd going all night and the dance floor was never empty. The way he mixed songs and put mash ups together was spot on and he judged the room perfectly with what to play next.

He was great with everyone too, really easy going and knew exactly how to keep the party atmosphere alive. We had so many people tell us how good the music was.

He also worked really well with Jose and the team at the mill which made everything run smoothly.

We honestly could not have asked for better and would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ.

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!
