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.

The best DJ ever!

DJ Francis was absolutely unbelievable! The setup was top draw and the music fantastic! He’s also an amazing person and so easy to work with. I will have DJ Francis back to DJ for all of my future events.

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.

Amazing atmosphere

Francis came to our wedding and played some nice chilled tracks throughout the day whilst the formalities were taking place. It was perfect! He kept the right tempo and vibe for every moment during the day. With absolutely no complications. We ended the night on a massive high with an amazing trance/techno mix that Francis did that had everyone dancing and having fun, ultimately making our special day perfect.

We couldn’t recommend Francis anymore. Amazing DJ.

Amazing night!

Have used Russel a few times over the years and he never fails to disappoint, for us we wanted it to be a party not just your routine ‘wedding songs’ and Russel blew it out the park, his music choices were better than we could of expected and he really got the party going! Everyone complimented on how good he was and it certainly made the night!

Superb DJ & so much more

Francis made the experience stress free and seamless from start to finish. Before the wedding we met to discuss music, timings, lighting. I felt like Francis understood my vision straight away & he brought it to life. From the wedding music, to providing microphones, background music, DJing everything was thought of and was spot on.

Fantastic service & personal experience which is what myself and my husband wanted for our wedding. I would highly recommend Francis for any occasions.

Thank you Francis, see you at the vow renewal :)

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!!

Made the Night ‘Happen’

We decided we needed to throw a party for my birthday and having used Francis before we knew that we would be in good hands.

We gave him a list of music that we like but we’re flexible on him adding to it.

The evening was a great success the dancefloor was packed and everybody had an amazing time and it was pretty much down to him and his music and how he got the crowd going. Would definitely recommend him if you wanted to have a great time.

Frances is a relaxed and professional guy. He made our night and is an amazing DJ. We’ve used him on several occasions.

My friends still talk about the event and his DJing!

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!
