THE WEDDING INDUSTRY AWARDS REGIONAL 'WEDDING DJ OF THE YEAR 2025' ONSET DJ'S - A CONTEMPORARY EXPERIENCE

Tailoring your wedding specifically to you. This isn’t some run-of-the-mill event DJ, your wedding is supposed to be special to you. We work with you and your partner to curate a playlist unique to your relationship, mixed, blended and cut to perfection with certified dance floor fillers to create a once-in-a-lifetime vibe. From Kisstory to Motown, 80’s soul to House, disco to UK Garage, certified pop & rock bangers to dancehall, afrobeat to hip hop, with everything else in between, we cater specifically to your vibe, expertly mixed by a 15-year club & bar veteran of the industry. Whether it's a Saxaphone Wedding for that Sax-House experience or a modern DJ wedding, we have you covered.

BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE

The hardest part about booking the DJ for your Wedding Day is the risk of never seeing the DJ perform before they set up and press play on your first dance.

When you book a DJ, it helps to understand their prestige, the venues they have rocked, and the brands who have booked them so you can book with confidence.

The BEST wedding DJ!!

Well, what can we say, if you’re thinking of booking Jon, don’t hesitate, just do it!
From first enquiring, Jon was quick to respond and this communication carried on right up until the wedding, always keeping in touch. When we booked, we then arranged to meet in person for drinks. During this, Jon really took the time to get to know us as a couple and what was important to us at our wedding. Me and my husband keep saying that it was our favourite part of wedding planning, because Jon made it really easy and fun!
We trusted Jon to play all our favourite music, that would get everyone up dancing and he definitely did that! I genuinely didn’t leave the dance floor the entire night and our guests are still talking about how great he was. His ability to read the dance floor and keep people dancing was brilliant.
My husband and I love Ndubz and wanted a specific song to be played but I said ‘there’s no way that can be played at a wedding and not clear the dance floor, it’ll be a no go’. We mentioned this to Jon a week before the wedding when we were catching up. Jon did infact play that song and somehow made it amazing. It was one of ours, and the guests favourite part of the entire night!
Jon isn’t your stereotypical wedding DJ, the set he played for us was totally tailored to our taste and songs we thought our friends and family would enjoy.
And putting all that aside, Jon is genuinely such a nice person and someone we’re really glad was part of our wedding!
Don’t hesitate to book, highly recommend 🙌🏻

Jon = Absolutely Amazing DJ!

The minute I saw some of the clips on Jon's website and read his bio - I knew he was the wedding DJ for us and he didn't fail to disappoint. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding!

From being so knowledgeable, professional and passionate to being super responsive in his communications and follow-ups. Jon was without doubt one of, if not the best Supplier we hired for our wedding - Along with the amazing violinist he also recommended (and who jammed with him throughout our evening party) I, without doubt, would recommend him to anyone who's looking for a DJ for their wedding - I don't think you'll find anyone better to make sure you and your guests have a fantastic time!

The Best DJ around! Book him immediately!

From the initial phone call to Jon to discuss our wedding we knew he was the DJ for us. He met with us in a mutual location and we discussed our love story with him. From there he helped us to create a playlist of songs and we couldn't believe how easy he made it. He stayed in touch throughout our wedding planning journey and even made us our own remix for our first dance which was brilliant!

We cannot thank Jon enough for making our wedding night absolutely epic! From the moment the music started, the dance floor was packed, and it stayed that way all night long. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how amazing he was, and we couldn’t agree more.

His ability to read the crowd and keep the energy up was incredible, and he played the perfect mix of songs to suit everyone’s tastes. We’re so glad we found him—it truly made our special day unforgettable.

We will 100% be recommending Jon to everyone we know. We are looking for an excuse to throw a party so that we can hire him again, it was definitely a night to remember!!

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!

My top tip when getting married is get a good Dj and jon be that DJ



Even before the wedding jon met with us
He got to know us and our vibe
He reassured us by keeping contact throughout creating a personalised song list.
Jon knew when to change music to match the crowd.
He was superb and gave our wedding an amazing party feel
He mixed the music throughout the night on a mixing desk he isn't a press and go dj, the music was spot on.
He is also responsibly priced especially for his skill.
He was also really good at reasurring the groom before the speech
Jon is a genuinely lovely guy with a talent

The best decision of the wedding

From the very start of the process Jon was excellent. Professional, responsive and most importantly - reliable.
He was there on the day exactly when he said he would be and he kept the whole crowd on the dance floor for hours.
He gave us so much flexibility in the music we could have for the day and got the vibe exactly right.
We had a wedding of around 100 in a hotel in Lutterworth.
His setup and lighting was also great and he had multiple options for different venue sizes,

We probably got 15+ comments on how excellent the DJ was. Do not hesitate to book Onset DJ for your wedding.

Just what we were after

Jon was professional, organised, and great fun. From initial contact right through to the wedding Jon made it as smooth a process as it could be, causing us zero stress. He got to know us to make sure our evening was as special to us as possible. Nothing was too much trouble. I would wholly recommend.

Brilliant Wedding DJ

Jon was brilliant from start to finish. Our initial meeting was great and we built a unique playlist together that we could add to over the next few months.

On the day, the music was perfect - exactly what we had hoped for and so many of our guests commented on how much they loved it. The playlist felt very ‘us’, which is exactly what we wanted.

A brilliant experience overall, would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thank you Jon!

The BEST DJ a bride & groom could hope for

Jon was impeccable from the planning process right through to the guest departure on the wedding day. Attentive, responsive, KILLER MIXES, friendly and just felt like one of the family.
Carl and I are already looking for an excuse for another celebration to have onset djs back to bring all the good vibes to the dancefloor.
You made our evening so special, thank you for absolutely nailing it.
I can’t recommend Jon enough, great guy and incredible talent.
Thank you 💓

The dance floor was very rarely empty!

Jon is absolutely great, so friendly and super helpful the whole way through the wedding planning process. We had 2 zoom calls before the day to plan the music and vibe we wanted and this really helped to put my mind at ease. His set on our wedding day was amazing- all our guests were raving about how good he was. The dance floor was very rarely empty!
I would 100% Recommend On Set Dj!

" the best dj ever"

Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without you!
Jon was amazing from start to finish. Firstly he took us out for drinks to discuss our playlist and absolutely nailed it! he listened to what we wanted and what we didn't.
Communication was brilliant and very responsive throughout.
We trusted that Jon knew what he was doing and we were so right to do so. Jon created our first dance which was a collaboration of two songs and he absolutely smashed it! it was everything we dreamt of and more.
a few words cant praise Jon enough and the feedback from our guest was " THE BEST DJ EVER" and we totally agree. booking Jon was the best decision we made. We will thank you for a lifetime and we will defiantly be booking again for other events in the future :)

The BEST dj!!!

There isn’t a box big enough to describe what a DJ this is! From start to finish the whole process was stress free, fun and professional! The vibe for your whole day is set the minute you meet him and you are hype for your big day! Jonny is an absolute legend listen to what we wanted a curated the most banging playlist! Our wedding day was perfection large in part to the absolute vibes this guy brought! He also recommended a gorgeous wedding singer to us that also made our day!

Your biggest regret would be not booking this dj for your wedding!! He is phenomenal 🙌🙌🙌🙌

The best wedding ever !!

Job was absolutely incredible! Every single one of our guests said it was the best wedding/wedding party they have ever been to! John was so professional yet so fun! He met with us and we spent a great deal of time going in depth creating our story! You can see how much he cares and how much passion he has for this! on the night itself I could barely leave the dancefloor as every single song was an absolute hit! I didn’t want the evening to end! I couldn’t recommend him more!!!

The best DJ we've ever experienced

DJ Jon was one of the highlights of the wedding. One of the best bits of our wedding prep was going through our music tastes to build a playlist. He completed understood our mix of genres and was able to mix and play the right vibe on the night. He's a proper DJ! For example we got Bollywood with Ed Sheeran. Would highly recommend and would love to see perform again.

What a party!

Jon was the DJ for our wedding reception and we gave him the unenviable task of combining pop punk and drum and bass into a cohesive party. This he most certainly did!

We had an amazing time from start to finish from our custom first dance mix to throwing shapes and singing along and I know our guests will remember this one for a while to come!

Extra brownie points for letting our 7 year old channel his Fatboy Slim dreams behind the decks.

Thanks Jon!
