Award-Winning Wedding DJ | Modern Weddings. Incredible Dancefloors.
No Cheese. No Clichés. Just Absolute Bangers.
Your wedding should feel like your wedding, not every other wedding you’ve been to.
I’m Martin James, an award-winning professional DJ with over four decades of experience, bringing a genuine club and festival experience to weddings across the UK.
My job isn’t simply to press play.
It’s to read the room, understand your music, build the atmosphere and create those moments when the dance floor is packed and nobody wants the night to end.
YOUR MUSIC. YOUR NIGHT. YOUR WAY.
Forget the predictable wedding playlist.
I work personally with every couple to create a soundtrack around you and your favourite artists, the songs you love, the music your friends and family will dance to and, most importantly, the atmosphere you want to create.
Whether that’s sophisticated disco, funky house, indie anthems, garage, dance classics, R&B or something completely different, I’ll make it flow naturally throughout the night.
No forced interaction. No cheesy games. No embarrassing microphone work.
Just great music, expertly mixed and a dancefloor that speaks for itself.
MORE THAN A WEDDING DJ
With experience performing at clubs, festivals and major events for audiences of up to 20,000, I bring the energy and professionalism of a serious live event to your wedding.
I’ve also been recognised as Nottingham Student DJ of the Year three times, but the real measure of a great wedding DJ is simple:
Are your guests still dancing?
That’s what I care about.
BEAUTIFUL SOUND. BEAUTIFUL LIGHTING. ZERO FUSS.
Your entertainment should look as good as it sounds.
I provide a professional, high-end sound and lighting setup designed to complement your venue rather than take it over.
From the first song to the final track, everything is professionally planned, prepared and delivered, with setup and pack-down taken care of so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
