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!

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.

Mirror photobooth loved by everyone at our wedding

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.

Thank you Jimmy

We are so pleased that we chose Devoted Events for our wedding day. Communication prior to the day was easy and we felt confident and happy with all our plans well in advance. The all day hosting worked perfectly for us and the U-phone photo sharing was absolutely brilliant. The music choices suited our guests, we all had a lovely time. Thank you Jimmy for being part of our special day.

Our wedding

Devoted events were recommended to us by our wedding venue, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. From the initial contact right through to the day and evening itself, made us feel welcome. Allowed us to make changes along the way, allowing us to choose the majority of the play list, and being completely professional throughout..
Would highly recommend devoted events to anyone.

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!

Best dj ever!

I was SO happy with Devoted Events; the music was amazing - they played all the songs I'd asked for and seemed to read my mind and play all the ones I'd forgotten to ask for! It was such a fun night - me and my husband had a "song/dance-off" at one point and it really got the crowd going. The dance floor was full pretty much from start to finish and I genuinely couldn't have been happier. Highly recommend.

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!!!

Perfection from start to end

What can I say about Devoted Events & Jimmy in particular that hasn’t been said a thousand times over? From our initial contact 2+ years ago to the day of and after the wedding the communication and care has been exceptional! Jimmy is a true gentleman who couldn’t do enough for us, from last minute changes to music and sourcing seemingly impossible music to find! We were the clueless couple
That put our trust in him and his years of experience and we were not disappointed in the slightest! All my guests were so complimentary of all the details that came from Devoted events! I can’t recommend them enough! I want to do it all again!

Amazing DJ and seamless hosting!

I first met Jimmy & Caroline at Devoted Events at an open day at my wedding venue, and was instantly drawn to their warm, friendly and relaxed approach when talking about their DJ services. We had such a laugh on that initial meeting, and just clicked, that we booked Jimmy on the spot for our day to do DJ and hosting services. Prior to the day we had a few meetings to discuss schedules, music selection, and Jimmy was attentive to every detail, which was evident on the day as everything ran seamlessly.
Jimmy on the day who was amazing from start to finish, from hosting our day from ceremony music, through to wedding breakfasts and speeches, through to playing an incredible music set for the reception that had everyone up and staying up on the dancefloor. Several of our guests had not only commented on how smart Jimmy was dressed as DJ (suited and booted for the day!) but also if he was a friend of ours, due to how chatty and relaxed he was, as well as due to the music mirroring my husband and I’s exact music tastes! I think that in itself is testament to what a fantastic DJ Jimmy and his team are.
Thank you Jimmy for being such a key part in our special day, we had the best time, and you helped make our day run seamlessly! Love Mr and Mrs Wyatt xx

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
