Better Superstar DJ than Eyeball Paul!

Carl was a great DJ! He played our requests, was funny, down to earth and is well worth booking! Your Wedding NEEDS him as much as the Bride and Groom!

Con job - avoid!!

Hired Carl to dj at our wedding, im a real music fan so sent him a playlist of how we ideally wanted the night to go. He assured us that this would be done as requested. He was due to start at 7pm, by half 7 he was still setting up (he apologised for the so fair enough). He got going by 7.50 and after 20 mins or so, it starts going downhill. He couldn't even fade from one song to another, literally stopped the music while he swapped songs. After various interjections about how poor it was, he just slapped on the spotify playlist I had and that was it! At this point I went over and said enough was enough, and I though he should pack up. Both he and his dad agreed we could have a full refund of £600 (i have a witness to this remember, carl!!) - sadly I am still waiting on receiving this, and am now taking legal advice. Thankfully, we still managed to have the best day ever! Avoid like the plague.....
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
