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.

Great DJ for two different events

Francis did a fantastic job at both our events in September, he's very quick to respond to any questions we had, and most importantly he did a great job of providing just the right music and atmosphere at two quite different events, with what can sometimes be a tough crowd, would definitely recommend!!

Great service, banging tunes!

Highly recommended - efficient and organised in the build-up, flexible to accommodate our music preferences, great set-up in terms of lights, smoke etc and then hit the right mix to get the crowd going. A pleasure to deal with and would use again for sure.

Will go above and beyond to create the best party

Francis played at my birthday party. He understood the brief; cool music during the day, but if people began dancing to up it! We danced:-) Then he played with an amazing percussionist in the evening and they both fed off each other creating the best party ever!

Highly recommend!

Francis was so attentive for the year leading up to our wedding, really taking into account what we wanted. Then on the day, we really couldn’t have asked for more. All of our guests commented on how good the music was throughout the day. Songs were actually mixed and played to suit the vibe of the time - dance floor was never left empty! Also must note at the professional equipment that were used for both outdoor and indoor areas.
