About

Hiya, I'm John also known as DJ Big J UK, it's a name that sticks and reflects my larger than life personality. With a rich history in the music business since 1995, I've toured the UK with various bands and worked with many celebrities. My experience and reliability in the industry are unmatched, ensuring an unforgettable musical experience for all.

Your wedding isn't just about the I do's, it's the whole day from start to finish and keeping the guests entertained is crucial to make the day as memorable as possible. With over 20 years experience, and being the host of my own radio show, I can keep everyone entertained from start to finish.

It's important to make sure the whole day looks right, ensuring an environment that is not just pleasing to the eye but also great for the memories and the photographs. I bring a state of the art PA and lightshow with a white DJ booth to make the whole evening look as special as you do.

Keeping the dancefloor busy is an art form, knowing what songs from which era is going to work for the guests and mixing them to perfection is what's really important. I have vast experience in the music business, from fronting bands, touring the UK, and even having exclusive themed shows. I can cater for any age range with music ranging from the 60's through to present day chart hits.

Arriving on time may seem easy. Well, you want to hear the stories I hear week in and week out. Being on time is as important as every other aspect, and I can guarantee you that I'd rather be two hours early than two minutes late. I take immense pride in my work and will always give you the service you deserve on your big day.

Great DJ, punctual and great communication from start to finish

Booked Big J on a recommendation from a friend who had him play at their wedding and I'm so glad I did! Great set up on the stage area with a white DJ booth that matched the surrounding areas. Played all our favourite cheesy music and took plenty or requests from our guests.

Excellent DJ from start to finish

Loved having John as my wedding DJ, made me feel at ease from start to finish. Great communication about the event, arrived on time and had a lovely white set up that matched the whole event. I would highly recommend.

The perfect DJ for our perfect day.

We tied the knot last year at Queens Hotel in Leeds and we're bombarded with various wedding DJ's from Google etc so we knew we had to take our time choosing. We chose DJ Big J because of his wealth of knowledge and experience and we had previously heard his radio show as it's on our local station so we knew we'd be on to a winner. His relaxing manner from the start not only made us feel welcome but at ease at what can be stressful times. From his arrival to finish it went perfectly and we can't thank him enough, very well dressed for our event and kept the dancefloor full all night.

Exceptional, couldn't have asked for more :-)

We got married in 2024 at Cedar Court Bradford and we looked at many DJ's for our big day and chose John (DJ Big J). He was great at communicating with us and very helpful with all our needs. Arrived promptly and kept the party going all night, taking requests and entertaining the guests. Highly recommended, thank you
