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!

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.

Honestly, the best DJ around! Francis Renato was incredible from start to finish. He listened to our requests and had an amazing ability to read the crowd. No request was too much, and everyone commented on how great the music was all night. If you want a full dance floor and an amazing party atmosphere, book Francis!

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!

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.

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