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!

Nothing but a good time!

Jimmy at devoted events is the best!! We don't have the most traditional taste in music but that wasn't an issue at all. We got to hear all the songs we loved while we celebrated with our friends and family and Jimmy was happy to add in our last minute requests on the night.
We had devoted for the whole day to take the stress out of the ceremony music and everything went without a hiccup. We even had some fun and games during our wedding breakfast that kept people entertained and laughing away.
We also added on a Photo Booth to our evening which we absolutely loved and so did our guests. We had great fun looking back at all the photos from the evening.

Fantastic Entertainment!

We had the pleasure of Jimmy being a part of our wedding reception on the 26th of September at Mulberry House.

It was a spectacular evening, the range of music was great, lots of our guests complimented how well the playlist was put together and how fabulous Jimmy was as a host, getting everybody up onto the floor. Everybody was up dancing, there wasn't a moment when the floor was empty and we didn't want the party to end.

We also had a magic mirror photobooth which was hosted by Jonathan. All our guests loved this and had so much fun. We loved that we were given a guest book with a collection of fun snaps to look back on to remember our wonderful day. It put a cherry on top of the evening.

Also supplied was the starlight dance floor, love letters and a personalised protection that added that special touch and gave it a magical feel.
We can't thank you enough for being a part of our special day

Magical Dry Ice Effect That Wow’d Everyone

Devoted Events were fantastic and added such a special touch to our first dance with their dry ice. The effect was absolutely magical — it looked like we were dancing on clouds, and it made for the most incredible photographs and memories.

The team were professional, friendly, and organised, setting everything up perfectly without any stress. Guests were blown away by how stunning it looked, and it really elevated the whole evening.

If you’re looking for that extra bit of magic on your big day, I can’t recommend Devoted Events enough. Their dry ice was unforgettable!

Couldn't Have Asked For More

We couldn’t have asked for a better MC and DJ for our wedding! Jimmy and the Devoted Events team were absolutely phenomenal – full of energy, fun, and so incredibly thoughtful in making our day feel truly special. From the hilarious Mr & Mrs game to the unforgettable dance floor moments (and even musical chairs!), they brought so much life and joy to the celebration. Jimmy seamlessly incorporated all the personal and cultural touches that meant so much to us, and our guests are still talking about how amazing the day was. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable – we’re so grateful!

Wedding Mulberry House 22 June 2025

We first met Jimmy and his wonderful wife Caroline at a Wedding Open Day at Mulberry House. After attending countless events in search of the perfect musical entertainment, hosting, and DJ, my partner and I instantly knew that Devoted Events was the one. Jimmy and Caroline gave us that rare combination of energy and reassurance. It was clear from the start that if we chose them, we’d be in safe hands. And they delivered on every promise.

Their range of entertainment packages is outstanding covering every aspect of the wedding day. From a stunning light-up dance floor, photo booth, magic mirror, smoke machine, and beautiful lighting, to their "up phone" where guests could upload photos to a live screen. It all helped set a fun, joyful tone throughout the day. And the 360-degree overhead video machine, that alone created unforgettable memories we’ll treasure forever.

The planning process with Devoted Events was seamless. We used their excellent online portal to add our song selections, specific requests, and even the detailed order of the ceremony ensuring the soundtrack to our day was perfect.

On the day itself, Jimmy was an incredible host. Everyone loved him! He got all our guests involved and added so much fun to our wedding breakfast with brilliant games, including a memorable Mr & Mrs round. He truly went above and beyond.

Later that evening, Jimmy took the reins as our DJ and he was phenomenal. The dance floor was never empty, and everyone commented on the amazing playlist and electric atmosphere.

If you're looking for wedding entertainment, look no further. Devoted Events is all you need. Our search ended with them and we’re so glad it did.

Huge thanks to Jimmy, Caroline, and the whole Devoted Events team.

Best

Georgia and Lauren’s Wedding 29.05.2025

We saw devoted for the first time at an open house at our venue. We was blown away with all the different items and packages they offered entertainment wise for a wedding and we loved it all. Meeting Jimmy and is wife was so lovely and gave us an instant comforting feeling which to us was so important.

We booked their ultimate package which was such good value for money, we looked at a few other suppliers and nothing compared to what devoted offered and value of their packages. I would 100% recommend this package to anyone looking at booking. We had in ours dance floor, smoke machine for our first dance which just enhanced it and made it so magical, the audio guest book this was amazing and we loved hearing all of our guests messages a few days after helped us relive it all again, the up phone was such a lovely addition all of the guests loved uploading and seeing their photos instantly on the screen and again was a great memory to have for the next day to see all the photos and how the day was from their perspective.

Throughout the planning process the team at devoted was excellent at communicating with us and we loved the online portal where we could add all of our song choices and requirements for the day.

On the day itself Jimmy was the most amazing host! We couldn’t have asked for more he got everyone involved and nothing was to much trouble. We asked for a wedding bingo to be apart of our wedding breakfast and jimmy was incredible hosting this and sorting all of the playlist for us.

In the evening jimmy was our DJ of the night and he was phenomenal the dance floor was never empty everyone commented the great playlist and how amazing the evening entertainment was.

Devoted were superstars from start to finish and we couldn’t recommend them more for anyone looking for DJ and entertainment for their special day.

Dance floor was full the entire night!

Couldn't have wished for a better DJ - Ian was amazing. We had a call a few days before the wedding to meet him and talk through our requests and he met every single one & went above and beyond!! The dance floor was filled the entire night and everyone had the best time. The room was filled with banger after banger for all ages and we just didn't want the night to end!! Thank you so so much for making our wedding so enjoyable for us and our guests. Highly recommend these guys as Wedding (or any event) DJs - especially Ian.

Absolutely incredible!

We met the devoted team at a wedding opening day at mulberry house and we felt drawn to them. They are so welcoming, friendly and happy to help. You could tell they really love what they do and they just want everyone to have the most amazing wedding day! We instantly got them booked in and it was the best decision we ever made! We got married on 11th May 2025 and it was the most magical day, more the we could have ever imagined. Jimmy was all day hosting, helping out behind the scenes, kept the spirits high through the whole day, keeping everyone entertained! He is an absolute gent and an even better Dj! We loved every moment of our wedding and it is all down to Jimmy and the devoted team we can’t thank them enough! We wish we could do it all over again! Would recommend them to anyone! Absolutely incredible! Love Mr & Mrs Abbott X

What A Duo!

Devoted Events were amazing from start to finish. So friendly and professional in the build up to the wedding and absolute stars on the day. Jimmy read the room perfectly when selecting songs, keeping the dance floor full all night. Betsy the Vintage Caravan was a huge hit with the guests too! Jimmy and Caroline really made the evening and all our guests commented how good they were.

We hired the mirror Photo Booth for our wedding day at Mulberry house! All of our guests enjoyed using it, a special thanks to our host Jonathan who was brilliant and really helpful and professional throughout the night! This was a perfect addition to our wedding reception, would highly recommend devoted events, our guest book with all the photos is beautiful too!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

What a party!

Jimmy did an amazing job providing the music for our wedding. We had the best time!
I remember Jimmy DJ’ing in Chelmsford back in the day and always had a great night.
A really nice guy that will always bring good vibes to a party.
