Best DJ we’ve ever had!



Chris was absolutely brilliant & we can’t recommend him highly enough.

He looked the part (wore a tux), his setup & equipment looked really slick & professional & most importantly the music was great!

Chris’ partner Danielle was also amazing & took loads of great pics & videos which have been shared separately.

In the run up to the wedding we had a call with Chris to discuss arrangements & he couldn’t have been more accommodating. He also contacted our wedding band & the venue separately to discuss arrangements directly with them which took a big headache away from us.

Because we were limited on space & wanted a slick transition between the band & the DJ they even shared speakers which was really helpful for us.

Chris encouraged us to share a playlist with him ahead of the wedding which we did & he included all our faves in his sets but also read the room perfectly & complimented our stuff with loads of other songs which went down really well.

At breakfast the next morning, the topic of how good the music was & Chris in general got mentioned by pretty much everyone!

As you can probably tell from this review, I have nothing but good things to say about Chris & Danielle & would recommend them to absolutely anyone.

Undeniably the best we could've asked for

Chris is professional, friendly, reliable and spent time getting to know us before our big day, so he could create a personalised playlist that brought all the vibes! Chris is attentive and read the room well, keeping our dancefloor heaving with guests into the early hours of the morning. With all the stress that comes with planning a wedding, after meeting him, we felt immediately at ease and knew we could rely on him to create an unforgettable party!

Highly recommended!

We chose Chris to DJ at our wedding. Right from the get go he was brilliant, letting us know about the options available and what might work well. On the night, Chris played the perfect set which we and our guests really enjoyed. He also went above and beyond, helping to get our guests in the right place at the right time. He's also super professional - exactly what you want on such an important day. Thanks again Chris, you really made our day what we wanted!

Couldn't ask for a better DJ

We approached Chris with some pretty tough specifications, given the multicultural theming of our wedding. Our wedding congregation consisted of people from Czech, Ghanaian, British, and Caribbean backgrounds. We wanted to make sure we had a DJ who could cater to all of these tastes and somehow make it all seamless.

When we gave Chris these specifics, he didn't flinch. He simply asked us to provide him with a playlist of a few songs we liked, and he took care of the rest. The evening was absolutely incredible, with the dance floor being absolutely packed. If we had to do it all again, we would definitely be calling Chris all over again. 100% recommend!

Amazing DJ!!

If you’re looking for a DJ for your wedding then look no further! Chris goes above and beyond. After Covid ruining our wedding plans we had to start from scratch again! Unsure if a DJ alone would be enough for our wedding entertainment, we were very quickly proved wrong! Chris was amazing, he had all our guest on the dance floor all night, he played such a variety of genres that all ages were having a boogie. Since then we have booked Chris for a number of events and he never fails to amaze! Not only an amazing DJ but a lovely person who will always put his all into giving you the best night for you and your guests.
Thank you again Chris!!

The BEST wedding DJ!

Chris was everything and more we could have wanted from a wedding DJ. He was both professional and friendly and genuinely invested in making our day just perfect. The music was exactly what we asked for from start to finish, from playing my song down the aisle to getting the party started. What truly went above and beyond was the incredible video he created of our day. It captured all the emotions, big moments, and little details so beautifully. We’ve watched it over and over and love it more each time.

Thank you for helping make our wedding not just a celebration, but a memory we’ll cherish forever. We couldn’t recommend you more highly! 🙌💍

Went above and Beyond - perfect wedding DJ

Chris was the perfect choice for our wedding. We spent ages looking for the right person to DJ as the music on the day was important to us.

He read the room perfectly all night — genuinely one of those DJs who just gets the mood without being told. The music was spot on from start to finish, and our guests absolutely loved him. He blended in with the atmosphere so well and kept the energy exactly where it needed to be.

He even surprised us with a complimentary video of the evening, which was such a thoughtful touch and something we’ll treasure.

We honestly couldn’t recommend Chris more. He made the whole evening feel effortless and is an all round great DJ

Amar + Haydn's Wedding | Toulouse, France

Five stars honestly aren’t enough for how genuinely incredible Chris was as our wedding DJ. People always say weddings can be stressful, but with Chris, we never felt worried for even a split second.

From months before the big day, he was super communicative and really took the time to understand our preferences.

On the night, he absolutely brought the energy. The dance floor was packed from start to finish, and he went well and truly above and beyond. I’m pretty sure he was more popular than my husband and I!

We could not have asked for a better DJ. 20/10. Wholeheartedly, genuinely recommend Chris to anyone wanting an unforgettable celebration.

Awesome vibes!

Chris played my wedding in October and was just wonderful. Not only professional but extremely down to earth and an all round lovely guy. He played the songs from the brief I gave him but also expanded on it to make sure everyone was well catered for in the music department and brought serious vibes!

Thank you so much again for everything and for bringing the partay! From myself, hubby and all the guests of course!
