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.

Perfect DJ for our wedding

Chose John for our wedding because we had heard he was one of the best around and we weren't disappointed either. Very attentive from the word go, took all our song requests and kept the dance floor vibe going all night. Played the modern music for the younger end and even some 70's and soul music for the older ones. My mum loved him too and kept asking for songs, can't thank him enough. We were really worried about many aspects of our wedding because it can be so stressful but John wasn't a stress at all.

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.

Best wedding DJ you can get really, made our evening, thank you

Been recommended from a friend about John or DJ Big J UK as he likes to be called ha. Heard his 90's show on the radio so was excited I got to book him for our big day. Did not disappoint either, very professional from the moment I first contacted him to the evening of the reception. Played some awesome tunes and kept the dance floor full all night taking lots of requests too. Can't recommend him highly enough, once again thank you :-)

Brilliant DJ, couldn't ask for more :-)

Had a meeting with lots of DJ's before booking and John made me feel the most comfortable. Talks to you like a friend and the show he put on was awesome, playing all our favourite songs and taking lots of requests throughout the evening. Came with a beautiful white set up that matched the whole room too. Can't go wrong if you choose him.

Excellent, defo recommend :-)

Was an absolute pleasure of ours to have John as our DJ at our wedding as he really got the party going. Very polite and attentive but most of all kept the party going! We love a good DJ so made sure we vetted lots and his credentials stacked up. Can see why he's so popular, felt lucky that we got him booked.

Great DJ and service

If you a good honest DJ for your wedding that's professional from start to finish then you can't go wrong. I managed to book him last minute from this site and I couldn't ask for more. Arrived on time and played great tunes all evening.

Highly recommended, great DJ from start to finish

Booked John for our wedding as we'd heard great things about him from our friends as he did one of their weddings a couple of years ago. Very attentive with our song choices as we like to be specific but he handled it all with ease. Had a great set up and helped make the event run perfect.

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

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