Street Wedding

Clay was fantastic from start to finish, from the first communication he sent an email back to my enquiry and followed up with a phone call.
We spoke to Clay before our wedding about music and what sort of party atmosphere we wanted and he brought everything and more to the evening of our wedding.
He spoke with our wedding co ordinator at the venue and was on time and set up really quickly.
Clay was warm, polite and very charismatic. He dressed really smartly which is a bonus, as most DJs we looked at don’t bring smart attire to evenings of wedding.

Clay really made the evening of our wedding and we couldn’t ask for a better DJ & Party. I would highly recommend Clay again.

Great Service

The music was great and for all ages, Clayton made sure that the music was played when it was needed when walking in to get married, cutting the cake and everything else. Helped to make it a great day.

Thank your from Carol and Andy

Brilliant, flexible, dance floor filler - you won't be disappointed!

I found choosing a DJ for our wedding to be one of the hardest and most overwhelming jobs (too much choice/variety!), but couldn't have been happier with our choice of Clay. He was quick to respond through Hitched and on email, and once we had had our initial call he completely put me at ease that this was going be a great decision. We discussed our music likes and dislikes and was able to offer some invaluable advice about first dance timings. Clay made sure he had our first, last, and any other important songs noted. He was so flexible, and very happy to play it by ear, meaning our first dance wasn't forced to timings if we overran the meal (which we did!). Clay was brilliant on the night and kept the music flowing and the party going so the dance floor was never empty! He also managed to sneak in some modern country for us which was brilliant. We would absolutely recommend Clay - you won't be disappointed.

Couldn’t have asked for more from a nicer person!

Clay was absolutely excellent! He “read the room” perfectly at our wedding party. He played songs he knew would get people up and moving, with the added bonus of leading line dancing for us. Amazing service, very responsive and easy to deal with, incredibly friendly to the guests. I would definitely recommend Clay… you won’t be sorry 🎉🎉🎉

Great service

Clay was our DJ for our small wedding. We found him friendly and personable. He played the right kind of music that me, my bride and my guests were expecting on the night. He was also flexible with music requests and an ad-hoc bouquet-throwing on the night! It was part of a memorable night for us.

Highly recommended wedding DJ

We hired Clay for our our wedding and wow.

Clay from the start of the hiring process was highly professional and extremely helpful. He set up meetings before the wedding to get to know us, what our wedding vibe was and to ensure that all our favourite songs were on throughout the day.

Clay attended the wedding early and went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly, even when there were technical issues in the set up that were no fault of his own. He made sure that everything was sorted and there was no stress for us on the day.

Clays set up is perfect, and really gave our marquee reception something extra special with the lighting.

The music selection was fantastic and kept the dance floor full all night long.

Could not recommend a DJ more. Everything was so simple and easy to set up, clay was only a message away if we wanted any changes or had any questions.

Thank so much for making our day so special.

Best day of our lives!

We hired Clayton as our DJ for our wedding at Lulworth Castle in August 2024.
Clayton was INCREDIBLE! Clayton had amazing communication leading up to the day. We had two calls with him before the wedding to discuss our music preferences, timeline, special requests, and set up for the evening. He also promptly answered any questions we had via text message leading up to the day. On the day, Clayton arrived early and was able to set up without any disturbances.
We had special instructions for our first dance (intro to song, direct guests to the dance floor) and Clayton perfected it. Once the evening started, the dancefloor was packed all night long!!! Clayton did an awesome job of reading the crowd and knowing when to play specific genres that the guests enjoyed. We also had special requests in the evening (specific songs for specific guests) and Clayton delivered!! Once we reached the last song, my husband and I were so sad as we had the best time and Clayton was a huge part of that!
Many of our guests commented after the wedding how great Clayton was! We highly recommend Clayton as a DJ for your wedding (or any event!) and would not hesitate to recommend him to friends/family for future events.
Thanks again, Clayton. You’re a rockstar!!

The dance floor was rocked!

As a garden party goes, it was epic. Lost voices from singing too much and sore feed from saving to much. The energy was on another level!

Amazing wedding DJ

Clayton was everything we wanted for everyone to enjoy our wedding evening! He played all the music we asked for and was so good when it came to communication - always ready to respond and nothing was a hassle for him. He was very professional and even turned up super early to make sure he was set up and ready to go.

Couldn't ask for a better DJ

Clayton was incredible. He worked closely with us throughout, put up with our terrible communication 🤣 and made the night truly incredible. We would highly recommend him to anyone. He was so friendly and had an awesome sense of humour.
