A Moment of Magic
Imagine the lights dimming as your favourite song begins, and every friend and loved one holds their breath, waiting for that first dance. The music swells, and in that perfect moment, you both take centre stage - wrapped in each other’s arms, surrounded by a room of smiling faces. That’s the magic we create at Impress Events.

Our DJ Philosophy
Our passion lies in crafting the perfect soundtrack for your special day, ensuring your wedding reception hits all the right notes from your first dance to the last encore. As specialist wedding DJs, we understand that great music brings people together. We believe it’s not just about pressing ‘play’ - it’s about reading the dance floor in real-time, responding to every shift in energy, and weaving in hidden musical gems you didn’t even know you wanted to hear. We welcome requests from your guests (unless you’ve got a firm “ban” list!) and can dynamically adapt to keep everyone dancing the night away.

Three Tailored Packages
We offer three carefully designed packages, each catering to different needs and budgets, so you can find the perfect fit for your wedding vision, budget, and guest count. With every package, you’ll enjoy our outstanding DJ expertise, along with a personalised playlist and seamless transitions to guarantee a lively atmosphere and plenty of joyful memories.

  1. Our Gold Package is ideal for more intimate celebrations, offering a budget-friendly option without ever sacrificing quality. From £795.
  2. Our Signature Package pulls out all the stops with a premium sound system, immersive lighting, and mood-enhancing uplighting to transform your venue’s ambience from daytime romance to night-time party. From £950.
  3. Our Exclusive DJ + Sax Package unites the versatility of an experienced DJ with the dynamic performance of a live saxophonist. This electrifying blend of energetic music and soulful sax creates a performance guaranteed to Impress your guests and take your dance floor to the next level. From £1500.

Personalised Consultation
We understand every couple’s musical taste is unique, which is why we provide a personal music consultation to help fine-tune your reception playlist, plan timings, and incorporate any special requests. You’ll also have a dedicated wedding-reception planner on hand to advise you on those key moments - from your grand entrance and first dance to the bouquet toss and the final celebratory song of the night.

Seamless Coordination & Unmatched Experience
Behind the scenes, our team works directly with your venue, photographer, and other suppliers to ensure seamless coordination throughout your celebration. Each moment is meticulously planned and timed so you can focus on enjoying every second without added stress. Having performed at over 1,500 weddings across 300 venues, we have the first-hand experience needed to know what works best.

Amazing Wedding DJ

Gary DJ'd for our wedding in April 2024. He did a brilliant job, curated our setlist based on our previous consultation with him and he also snuck a few excellent curveballs in there that everyone loved. He arrived to the venue to set up in good time, was highly friendly and professional throughout, and ensured that everyone had the party of their lives. Thank you so much!

An amazing night

We had Gary for our evening event for our wedding. Safe to say he got everyone up dancing and kept them dancing all night long with all the amazing tunes. We had also given him a list of certain songs we would like played during the night and he blended them in so well aswell as playing loads of other great songs! Thank you again for such an amazing night, it will be one to remember!!

Definitely not cheesy! Epic!

We booked Impress Events for our wedding in March this year. Initially spoke with Ryan and Gary was our DJ. We wanted an eclectic mix of music and definitely not a cheesy wedding DJ. The guys were great from start to finish, listen to us regarding our music choices and kept the dance floor full all night. It was an epic party and would definitely recommend.

Great selection of music

Impress Events were absolutely amazing at our wedding. Everyone commented on how great the music was and totally not what they were expecting at a wedding, which is exactly what we wanted! Our DJ was Ryan and he knows how to play a selection of good music without the cheesy songs that you usually hear, our idea of hell. The dance floor was bouncing all night from start to finish. Our first dance routine was executed perfectly thanks to Ryan and his team's planning beforehand and perfect timing on the night (sorry for being such a pain) but nothing was a bother for them and they were very helpful with ideas. All in all, Ryan understood the assignment! Amazing DJ, highly recommended! Jess and Mick

Class DJ!!

We booked Impress Events and Chris was our DJ. Everyone since has been saying how great he was. Before our wedding they took all of our music preferences into consideration and really came up with a fantastic play list that kept the party going throughout the wedding. He was both professional and easy to work with, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ with some class.

Made the party amazing

We had Ryan DJ our wedding on the 19th August 2022! From the day we booked right up to the evening itself everything was professional and smooth! Ryan had understood the brief and listened to us carefully! On the evening he was prompt, delivered a mixture of songs that fitted our style of a bit of indie and disco. The lights and the set up are spot on! If your thinking of booking Ryan you won't regret it!

English/Indian wedding day

Impress Events provided an excellent service for our wedding.
They are very easy to chat to, and have a consultation call with you to ensure the music is as you want it for the day.

We had a mixed tradition English/Indian style wedding, and were very impressed at Ryan's breadth of music knowledge.
One of my best memories of the day was, without cue, Ryan playing one of our favourite slow songs at the perfect moment, giving me and the wife a loving moment together in front of family and friends.
He will certainly work the room to fit the occasion!

Ryan also works very well with other suppliers. For example, we had a drummer to introduce us to the dance floor, play a repertoire followed by our first dance. The plan and timings were pretty much worked out at the last minute, but Ryan pitched in and ensured everything went smoothly.

The sound system provided was very good too, plenty to get people up and dancing!

Honestly, we can't thank him enough for his service, his ability to take burdens off your shoulders on the day, and I would absolutely recommend him for your event.

Brilliant team know what they're doing

We can't thank Ryan and his team enough for coming up to Glasgow to be the DJ at our wedding. His communication beforehand was excellent, and he made sure that he took the time to sit down with us over a call and discuss what we wanted and if there was any special requests that we had.

He was very accommodating of some of our more unusual requests - a result of the wedding being fairly multicultural - and the music that he played throughout the night went down a treat. Two months later I'm still receiving compliments from the guests about it, and some of the photos from the dancefloor tell their own story.

Thanks again to Ryan and Esme, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding or any other special occasion.

Amazing DJ for our wedding!

Ryan was our DJ for our wedding in July and what can I say! I honestly could not have hoped for more! He arrived very early and set up all of his equipment so he was ready when everyone started to enter for the reception, he also offered me some kind words to settle my nerves before our first dance.

He took care of all the announcements throughout the day and when we entered the dance floor for the first dance he got everyone to stand up around us and cheer which was so much fun.

We gave him a few suggestions of our favourite tracks to work from and he delivered perfectly to our music tastes! People were up dancing all night and were really enjoying themselves.

The best thing was that everyone kept on talking about how good the DJ was, he made everyone feel so relaxed and took care of everything so professionally.

I would absolutely recommend his company for any wedding or event and if I ever have to organise another event myself, he will be the first person I contact. Thank you so much Ryan and your team, you made our day one that we will never ever forget!

Made a good day special.

Impress made a good day special. We booked them for our daughter's wedding. Thanks to their lights and great music everyone enjoyed the day at Tristan and Holly's Wedding. From the Bride and Groom's first dance to the end of the evening. Everything was a pleasure, and nothing was a bother.
Thanks from Jill and Chris (Mam and Dad)

Accommodating and brilliant!

We booked Impress Events for our wedding that was supposed to be in 2020 but it wasn't until June 2022 that we finally got married! With 3 postponements and re-arrangements due to restrictions, Ryan could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Ryan really did make us feel that he was there for us during whatever Covid threw at us, nothing was too much and he was always prompt at replying to our emails with excellent and detailed help.

Ryan clearly has a passion for what he does and this really shined bright throughout his service before, during and after our wedding day. His attention to the details was impeccable and he comprehensively understood our music taste and created the most amazing DJ set we could have ever asked for!

All of our guests spoke of how great the music was and how the party was exactly what they needed, it was what we needed too after a year of rearrangements! Ryan, you were brilliant!

Thank you so much Ryan and we wish to see you again soon!

Take Care

Brilliant from start to finish

Ryan was absolutely brilliant from start to finish, he did everything we asked of him and the music was amazing. We hired him last minute for our wedding party and he sorted everything so quick. I’m still now getting messages from guests complimenting his playlist/ music choice. He’s a lovely bloke and kept us up to speed with the plan and any changes that needed to happen due to timings of food/ photos. 5* would highly recommend!! Thank you Ryan.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
