Incredible!

Jimmy was an absolute legend on our special day! From our very first meeting, we felt his warmth and enthusiasm, and he made us feel so comfortable and welcome as a same-sex couple. He hosted our day beautifully, making sure every little music detail was spot on, and the whole day just flowed perfectly.
It was the little touches throughout the day that made all the difference! Jimmy suggested a table photo run, which turned out to be so much fun and added a whole new element to the day—it just goes to show he really knows his stuff!

When it came to the evening, Jimmy absolutely rocked it, playing all our song requests long into the night and keeping the party vibe alive! The photo booth was such a fun touch too, and the guest book filled with those memories is something we’ll treasure forever. We honestly can't recommend Jimmy and his amazing team enough—they're the best!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We booked devoted events for our wedding last weekend!
The booking process was very straightforward. We booked a DJ, Uphone and 360 video booth. The DJ was brilliant and I really loved that we could add songs we wanted to be played to the portal in advance of our big day!
The Uphone was absolutely amazing, it was so good to be able to see all of the images that have been uploaded by our guests!
But best of all was the 360 video booth! Compared to other videos booths I’d seen this one allows for a larger group of people to participate! We have great fun on the night and we can’t wait to see all of the videos once our USB arrives!
Would 100% recommend!

Amazing photo booth

We used devoted events photo booths for our wedding in June and it made the whole evening come together. The Photo Booth was so much fun and made so many memories. The team set up the photo booth so discreetly ready for our guests in the evening. We had so many compliments and will definitely use them again in the future.
Thank you so much for helping our evening reception come together!

Fantastic! Our wedding reception was brilliant because of Devoted

We had DJ Jimmy and Devoted’s LED dance floor. The dance floor was amazing and completely transformed the marquee for the evening.

Jimmy was brilliant in every way. Such a nice, genuine guy. Great DJ who read the room and every song was a hit with our guests. The dancefloor was packed the entire night. Jimmy is also a great host and very creative with announcements and ideas.

Thanks so much to Jimmy and the Devoted Team for making our wedding day so brilliant. 100% recommend!

Cannot Recommend Enough!

Jimmy made our day! The guests all loved Jimmy and he kept our day organised with the hosting package. The games was one of the highlights of the day, especially Mr and Mrs! The music was great and we loved having the dancefloor. So many of our guests have complimented Jimmy and can't stop talking about him. Thank you!!!

Worth every cent and best experience

We used Devoted Events for our wedding recently for their audio book phone booth. The coordination and correspondence leading up to the wedding was painless and everyone was super accommodating. They went out of their way to make any changes we requested and were on time setting up the phone booth for our special day. I would highly recommend them and worth every cent spent.

Amazing and fun DJ!

Jim was amazing to work with, he totally understood the vibe we wanted at our wedding and absolutely delivered! He included all the songs and extras we asked for, particularly for our first dance, and was great fun! On the lead up to our wedding communication was also great so we would definitely recommend! My guests also commented on what a great DJ we had! :)

Utterly amazing!

We used Jimmy at Devoted events for our all day wedding hosting and evening, he was absolutely amazing! He was there every step of the way, from the first phone call, to assisting on the day. Without Jimmy our day would not have been the same. He was so organised, he knew exactly what we wanted, and he most certainly delivered. The music, the games, the effects: smoke floor and sparklers for our first dance, the doughnut tower, the 360 Photo Booth… (and much more) it was all absolutely perfect! Jimmy and Caroline weren’t just suppliers for our day, they made our day! We have had so many friends and family comment on how good their set up was, and how amazing it all was, Jimmy is funny, dedicated, professional, and I am just so so happy that we found him! He really got the party going and was there for both of us, and our guests throughout the day! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts for making the best day of our lives!

Wow!! Absolutely brilliant.

Thank you to Devoted Events and Jimmy for making my wedding reception perfect.

From the 1st meeting I knew Jimmy would be my DJ. He was so professional and down to earth and was happy to answer any questions I had.
Everyone commented on how brilliant Jimmy was and how the dance floor was never empty!
If you’re looking for a great reasonably priced DJ, you will mot be disappointed!!

Thank you again to Jimmy & Devoted Events it’s a 10/10 from us!

Bordeaux wedding party

Devoted Events came to Bordeaux to do our wedding party - we lucked out with such an amazing team. They provided lawn games, lights, the photo booth and of course, amazing music. Came across Jimmy at a friend's wedding. His company then did my sister's wedding in London and then ours the following year. He and his team are very professional, on it and a total joy to work with. Thanks so much Jimmy and Caroline for making our day so memorable!

Sergio was AMAZING!!!

We had Sergio for our wedding at Parklands, Quendon Hall and we can not recommend him enough!
We had a call with Sergio a few days before and he was so personable, friendly and just made us feel so comfortable and excited for the night!
Oh the day, he really got the wedding party going and just read the crowd so well! Best DJ by far and would book him again in a heartbeat!
Thank you so much Sergio!! Rebecca and George x

Wedding success

I can honestly say that Devoted Events (Jimmy) made our day absolutely perfect. We didn't have to worry about a thing, from the announcements to the ceremony music right through to the evening disco. He also added some fun into the mix with a Bride/Groom game which raised many laughs. This company is truly professional and the attention to detail is amazing.
Jimmy ensured that the day was totally ours and wasn't intrusive in any way.
Thank you all for making our special day even more special xxx
