Best DJ we could have had

Francis was a great DJ and incredibly professional in his preparation and delivery. We had an unusual Colombian-English music mix and he was very happy to accommodate this and any other requests we had such as MC'ing the day and providing background music during the meal, the sound equipment and quality was excellent for a Marquee in Hampton Court golf club. We got a few quotes beforehand and he was great value for money. Overall, we had an excellent experience and incredibly grateful for making our wedding party very enjoyable for everyone on the dance floor, thank you so much!

The ultimate DJ for our eclectic taste!

When choosing a DJ we needed someone who was both capable and willing to mix between Bob Marley and the Vengaboys, fortunately for us we picked correctly and Francis was the person for the job. The early set up made sure that the day ran smoothly and from then on he was ready and willing to play everything that we asked, even if we did throw a few curveballs in there at times. We had the greatest day and night of our lives and are very grateful that he played such a big part!

Brilliant wedding DJ

Francis was our brilliant wedding DJ who was professional and friendly. The mobile set up was great with the disco lights, and my partner and I decided to included the additional up-lights which helped to elevate the room. I sent Francis our song request form which he followed perfectly and added additional songs on to keep the party going. We would highly recommend DJ Francis Renato!

Fantastic Dj & lovely guy

DJ Francis played at my 30th birthday and he was fantastic, couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He got there early to set up and it was all pretty seamless. Music was great, handled everything really well. Such a friendly guy too. The feedback from guests has been brilliant. Thanks again!

Fantastic Wedding DJ

We had the pleasure of working with Francis Renato for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! From start to finish, he exceeded all expectations and truly made our big day unforgettable
The communication leading up to the wedding was fantastic - he took the time to get to know us as a couple, took on board our music selection and made an amazing mix for the evening.
Overall, Francis was professional, fun, and made sure our wedding reception was an absolute blast. If you’re looking for a DJ who will keep the party lively, help you with song selection, and make your wedding unforgettable, we highly recommend them!

Amazing DJ

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From our very first meeting, he took the time to really listen to our vision and understand the vibe we wanted to create. He was attentive to all our requests and worked with us to craft the perfect playlist that reflected our taste and style.
On the day itself, he absolutely delivered. The music selection was spot-on – a fantastic mix that kept our guests on the dance floor all night while still honoring the specific songs and artists that were important to us. He read the room beautifully and knew exactly when to amp up the energy and when to bring it down for those special moments.
His professionalism, flexibility, and genuine care for making our day perfect really shone through. If you're looking for a DJ who will listen to what you want and execute it flawlessly, look no further. We're so grateful he was part of our special day!

Absolutely the Best Wedding DJ We Could Ask For! (5/5 Stars)

Francis Renato was absolutely essential! From booking to the last song, his professionalism was flawless. He truly transformed our venue with his high-quality sound system (delivering crystal-clear audio) and an incredible light show, setting a dynamic, energetic atmosphere for the entire reception.
​Francis has an amazing talent for reading the room. His music selection flowed perfectly, keeping every single guest on their feet. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and our guests haven't stopped raving. If you want a DJ who guarantees an unforgettable party, you need to book Francis Renato—he is truly the life of the party!

Just say yes!

What a great DJ!! Can't really say anything else but that. We made a playlist and told him to run with the vibe of the list and the crowd and just go for it ...and he did! Everyone kept saying to us the next day what a great DJ. Professional equipment and lights made the night feel surreal. He allowed us to guide him as much as we wanted and was very accommodating on the night when we asked for another hour of play and he just kept delivering. The dance floor was full the whole night and he was also such a great person to work with, I would 100% recommend and definitely book again if I could.

Amazing wedding DJ service

DJ Francis was incredible from start to finish. He was very helpful and enthusiastic in talking through all the DJ set options, lighting options, etc. We chose the Main Stage set up, with strobe, lasers and fog, for our marquee wedding, and it really made the dance floor alive. We gave DJ Francis a list of the songs we’d like played, with freedom to mix and add as needed - he was so flexible, happily accepting all our little additional requests, such as specific 30 second intro music for each person giving a speech! He also provided perfect subtle background music during our wedding breakfast, and acted as MC. Good value for money, he really helped add that special vibe to our day. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing DJ!

Francis was awesome! Mixed our playlist really well and when we gave him license to go outside the requested list, he nailed the song choices. Really easy to deal with in the lead up to our wedding. Very responsive and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a DJ in the future!

Sixth Form Leavers' Ball

Whilst not a wedding, Francis was the DJ for us at our Upper Sixth Leavers' Ball. Despite having to contend with a mixed audience of students and parents, he played a set which appealed to all. The event was a huge success and the feedback from it has been amazing - Francis very much contributed to that. In the build up to the event, he was always responsive to emails and sought information to ensure that he knew the audience. On the day, he arrived early and brought a full rig, which he set up quickly. All-in-all, we would definitely recommend him - a really nice guy and very easy to work with.
