About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2025

Last update: June 2025

I'm DJ Richard Shire, a wedding DJ based in Melksham, Wiltshire, with over 12 years of experience, and I'd love to make your wedding celebration magical.

I have an extensive music library spanning Motown, R&B, pop, dance, rock, and everything in between. Whether your guests love the timeless sounds of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross, the sing-along hits of Queen and ABBA, or contemporary favourites like Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, and Dua Lipa — I’ve got it covered. I also cater to fans of indie, house, and dance music with artists like The Killers, Arctic Monkeys, Calvin Harris, and Disclosure. From golden oldies to current club anthems, I tailor each set to match the vibe of your special day.

My sound and lighting equipment is top-quality and fully PAT tested, with industry-standard equipment including Pioneer DJ, RCF, and a wireless microphone for speeches or announcements. Setups and pack-downs are always handled efficiently and professionally, so your day runs smoothly from start to finish.

Couples often tell me they appreciate my calm, friendly presence and how nothing ever feels like too much trouble. I'm here to make things easy, to listen, to adapt, and to help bring your vision to life. For me, it’s about more than just playing great music — it’s about creating moments. Seeing your guests laughing, dancing, and truly enjoying themselves is the most rewarding part of what I do.

I cover Wiltshire, Bath, and North-East Somerset, and I'm happy to consider last-minute or late bookings if I'm available. Whether you're planning a relaxed countryside reception or a high-energy evening party, I'd love to hear all about your plans and help create the perfect soundtrack for your big day.
