Marvellous Disco isn’t just a DJ service. It’s the moment your quiet uncle ends up doing air guitar at midnight.
I’m Simon, the face behind Marvellous Disco, and for over 21 years I’ve been helping couples turn “we hope people dance” into “we didn’t leave the dance floor all night.”
From your first dance to the last song of the evening, I read the room, mix live and build the energy properly. No cheesy clichés, no awkward silences, just packed dance floors and the right song at the right time. Whether it’s 90s throwbacks, R&B, indie, dance, Motown or a bit of everything, your wedding soundtrack is built around you.
I cover weddings across the North of England, the Scottish Borders and beyond, bringing a clean, modern setup with stunning lighting and crystal-clear sound that looks incredible in photos and feels amazing on the dance floor. Over 250 genuine five-star reviews say more than I ever could.
Something very unique that you will rarely find with other wedding DJs? I record every wedding mix, so you can relive your first dance and that wild final song years down the line. I have many sample weddings available to listen to on my Mixcloud page.
If you want a DJ who genuinely cares, blends seamlessly into your day, and knows how to fill a dance floor without stealing the spotlight, we’ll get on brilliantly.
Let’s make your wedding the one everyone still talks about.

Wedding at Newton Hall May 2026
If you are actually planning a wedding and would appreciate a bit more detail about our experience please keep reading. Especially if you are like us and had heard a few horror stories about DJs going rogue over the years:
Ultimately Simon gives you exactly as much creative control as you want to have. What we wanted was to have a big say on the playlist and someone else to curate it, order it and mix it on the night responding to the crowd as they saw fit. This is exactly what he did. His website allowed us to request more than enough music in advance you could categorise it into must play and please play. You could share it with your guests and even put some songs on a banned playlist in advance.
When it came to the set itself, Simon very much let the music do the talking, we gave him a very eclectic mix from the Beegees to Northern soul to Sean Paul to Tenacious D
and back again and he deployed it all perfectly in a great order at just the right time- reading the room perfectly. I think there was only one song he played that we didn’t specifically request and it was a banger that we couldn’t believe we hadn’t thought of ourselves. Importantly, he is also a really talented DJ. The mixing was genuinely creative with some really cool transitions that guests appreciated and made comment on in the moment. (Go listen to his mix cloud to get a taste).
Finally, the unexpected bonus is that Simon records the set, so you can listen to it after which we have been doing on repeat and the fact that we’ve been able to relive some of the moments via his videos on instagram was also a really appreciated extra. He’s also just a really sound guy (pun intended) who was really easy to correspond with. Go book him!

Superb value for money, the customer portal makes payment straight forward and selecting songs so straight forward into categories. It was not difficult or mundane choosing the songs and placing them into the appropriate categories, it was streamlined and really enjoyable to use.
An extra feature that we also loved was the fact that Simon records the wedding playlist for you to play at a latter date which we have done.... Many many times. Cracking feature!
Such a genuine lovely guy who helped our night run smoothly even though the marquee was the hottest place on planet earth.
Cannot thank Simon enough for making our day beyond perfect. We highly recommend him!!

The Perfect DJ for Our Event
We really loved how easy it was to add our chosen songs through the online playlist system before the wedding — it made the whole process so simple and personal.
The service throughout was absolutely brilliant. He kept the dance floor full all night and created such a great atmosphere. His set up looked fantastic in the venue too.
We honestly couldn’t recommend Simon enough. Thank you so much for helping make our wedding so special!
Absolutely Marvelous!
Simon was quick to respond to any queries we had, was friendly and professional and the online system for making playlists was so easy to use.
We had made quite a mixed list of songs but simon made it flow so perfectly knowing exactly what was going to keep the dance floor full all night. The amount of songs available is fantastic and made making the playlist that much easier as there's something for everyone! The evening do was absolutely fantastic and Simon was one of the main reasons! Highly recommend 👌

My journey as a DJ began at 17, as a resident at a nightclub in my hometown of Alnwick, Northumberland. Alongside spinning tracks at various local venues, I also launched my own radio show on community station "Lionheart Radio."
Soon after, I invested in mobile disco equipment and quickly became a highly sought-after presence on the North East scene, playing at some of the region's most exclusive venues.
A few years later, my path evolved. In addition to mobile discos, I took on the management of "Hedfone Party," a silent disco company under the umbrella of Marvellous Festivals. This exciting opportunity led me to relocate from Northumberland to Winnersh, Berkshire, where I focused on orchestrating large-scale silent disco events.
Inspired by the reputation of Marvellous Festivals, I created Marvellous Disco, a mobile disco company serving the home counties, with their kind permission. Over three years, I built a stellar reputation, delighting countless clients at diverse venues and events across the South East.
My career has offered some incredible highlights, including DJing at the Geordie Shore house in Newcastle and for a "gypsy wedding" featured on Channel 4. Beyond the decks, I even had the unique experience of becoming the voice of "Big Brother" for a day, going backstage to chat with housemates via the diary room – a truly amazing experience!
In June 2013, thrilling news arrived: I was going to be a dad! While I cherished my time in the South East, my heart remained in the North. I decided it was best to raise my daughter, Luella (now 11!), closer to family, making those occasional babysitting gigs much easier! For this reason, Marvellous Disco has been thriving back in the North East since 2013.
Since returning, the business has flourished. I have the pleasure of regularly DJing in stunning North East locations such as Alnwick Gardens and Castle, Doxford Hall, Newton Hall, and Ellingham Hall, among many others.
I'm committed to providing an exceptional experience, constantly upgrading my equipment to deliver a fantastic sound and light show. I take immense pride in offering great value to every client.
In 2022, I was thrilled to be nominated for a North of England Wedding award by a grateful couple, and even more delighted to win "Best Wedding DJ" in October of that year! I was also proud to be a finalist in 2023 and I once again won "Best Wedding DJ" for a second time in 2024!
