NEW FOR 2026 - WE DO BINGO! AN AFTER WEDDING BREAKFAST BINGO RAVE

THE WEDDING INDUSTRY AWARDS REGIONAL 'WEDDING DJ OF THE YEAR 2026 & 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 🙌🏻

Great DJ!!

Booking Jon was fantastic—he truly made our wedding reception perfect. He created a tailored playlist featuring all of our favourite songs, then added his own DJ magic to make everything flow seamlessly throughout the night. He got the vibe exactly right and read the room brilliantly, keeping the dance floor full and the party going all evening.

A few months before the wedding, we had a call with Jon to discuss our music tastes, our must-play songs, and the tracks we definitely didn't want. He was incredibly helpful, offering suggestions that complemented our choices perfectly and helped create the ideal soundtrack for our day.

We couldn't have been happier with the experience and would highly recommend Onset DJs to anyone looking for a professional, talented DJ who knows how to make a celebration unforgettable.

Brought the vibes!!!

Booking Onset DJs was one of the best decisions of our wedding planning! Jon was friendly, helpful and such a vibe from Day 1. The initial
Playlist meeting over cocktails was such a nice touch and helped us to get to know Jon before our big day.

Our wedding fell on an exceptionally hot heatwave day but Jon managed to keep our dancefloor full all night with banger after banger! He was also really helpful in recommending several other suppliers including a dancefloor company and an amazing sax player.

Thank you so much Jon! 10/10 would recommend 🙌🏼

Jon is amazing!

We first met Jon when he was recommended to us for our engagement party, he was so good we knew we had to have him for our wedding! We never had any doubts he wouldn’t deliver us the most amazing night!! Thank you so much for all the time and effort and the planning beforehand. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We can’t wait to have another party just to use him again!! ❤️

Need a party, a vibe, an all-round class act professional? Onset have you covered.

Hiring Jon is the best decision we made for our entire wedding. We knew we wanted our wedding to be a big party, a celebration and the dance floor to be popping all night. Jon absolutely made that happen - working with Jon he leads you through his expert process, consults with you on the vibe of your day and helps curate a perfect set from start to finish. There wasn’t a single “lull” on the dancefloor all night, and all our guests were included from our parents to our friends. If I could give 100/10 I would - he just absolutely nailed the brief.

We wanted a mix of classics (think your Earth wind and fire) and new bops (Taylor Swift, Tiny Tempah, cheese room) and everything R&B in between - Jon made this absolutely seamless on the night.

A fair few of our guests said that it was the best dancefloor they’d had at a wedding!

Don’t even consider it, just book with On Set!!!!
Thank you Jon!

Omg wow wow!

Jon was the best DJ ever. From the moment we saw his profile, we knew he was something special and getting to chat with him just confirmed this for us. He was so professional and reliable in the lead up to the day and shown great friendliness and enthusiasm for our playlist choices. We were amazed with how easily he caught our vibe and helped us to bring it to life. He even went as far to reach out to another DJ with more experience in our music genres and brought him along to DJ our wedding. The result of which was an incredible night with endless memories made! We were blown away with how well Jon captured us as a couple and he kept our dance floor active all night. I (the bride) was running on 2 hours sleep and yet I was unable to stay off that dance floor because it was just so good. So many other guests raved to us after about how amazing he was too! We could not be happier. Thank you so much Jon!

The best wedding DJ!!

We booked Jon for our big day and have zero regrets in doing so. We saw that he had already worked with Eve (Music with Eve) who we already had booked so this filled us with confidence they would work well together and it’s safe to say they did the most incredible job. Right from the start Jon’s communication was as amazing! In no time we had a time organised where Jon took us out for drinks to go through our playlist. Jon clearly has lots of experience so was able to give us advice, as well as making our ideas all come together. Jon maintained regular contact, right up until the big day, putting our mind at ease. On the day he was nothing but amazing. He ensured the atmosphere was buzzing all night and the dance floor was never empty. Any footage he captured from the day was sent across to us promptly. We would highly recommend Jon to anyone! Thank you for being such an important part of our big day!

You won’t find better

Where do I even start!?

Jon has been AMAZING from the beginning. He invited us out for cocktails to build our playlist. We met at a local bar and spent the evening chatting about Jon’s background and our taste in music. From there he was able to build a playlist to our taste. We were worried we would have to think of songs but Jon just knew what we would like from our conversation.

Leading up to the wedding Jon checked in with us regularly which settled any concerns about a supplier not turning up!

Jon arrived early on the day, checked in with us about the first dance and got the whole wedding party excited. From there we DID NOT leave the dance floor!

We had comments all evening about how amazing our DJ was and two friends asked for his details. We actually got his details from a wedding we went to where we danced all night!

Jon’s previous experience in the nightclub scene really comes through and he knows how to keep people on that dance floor. On top of that he is a genuinely lovely guy.

You won’t find better.

Best night ever

Jon absolutely smashed our wedding party. He understood what styles we liked and on the evening really picked up the vibes from the guests! He was open to requests and worked with my MOH to mix our first dance song so she could sing. Can’t thank him enough!

Smashed it !

Everything for us was spot on, from all the communication leading up to the wedding to the day as well. For what we paid the show was fantastic, from the quality of sound to the light show, the party/ dance floor was never empty ! We requested a few extra things and John was more than happy to accommodate and help.

Definitely recommend onsetdjs for weddings and parties !

Adams wedding 2026

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! He was amazing and took all of our music preferences on board, even when I changed a song last minute nothing was ever too much trouble.

He really took the time to get to know us so the music suited us perfectly, and the dance floor was great all night. I would 100% recommend!

The best wedding DJ the industry has got!

From the very first point of contact till the very end of when Jon had to put his equipment away after delivering what was the most perfect wedding reception we could ever has asked for, Jon's professionalism shone throughout and this was easily the best decision we made asking Jon to be our wedding DJ.
I don't think there was a moment the dancefloor was empty, he smashed expectations and we've had nothing but amazing feedback from our guests about how Jon ensured the night was one to remember.
He is one of the most friendliest, helpful and professional person we have ever dealt with and gave us confidence from the minute we spoke about how he was going to perform for us and ensure we had the best night of our lives... You nailed it Jon and we can't thank you enough for ensuring we will never forget the experience you gave us.
For anyone thinking of using Jon, please do not hesitate as it was the best decision we made.
You will not get a better DJ to perform on which will be the best night of your life.
Thanks again Jon, you smashed it!!

Best dj ever!

Picking entertainment and music is one of the biggest things for your wedding. It really creates the vibe and energy your guests will remember. I was left in charge of music for ours so the pressure was on to find someone I knew could give us what we wanted. Honestly, look no further. Jon is your guy. I may sound biased because it was the best day of my life but I’ve never seen a dance floor like it. Jon met up with us before the wedding to get to know us, know what music we like and get a general feel for how the wedding was going to be. The amount of effort and time he puts into making your playlist PERFECT for you and your guests is exceptional. He talked us through the stages of the evening and what we could expect. Planning a wedding is overwhelming at times but we felt we were in such safe hands with Jon, he just had it all sorted and knew exactly what to do to bring the energy and vibes. So many of our guests have asked us for this playlist and want to know Jon’s details as it’s the best DJ set they’ve ever heard at a wedding. But that’s because Jon is not a “wedding DJ”. He is a DJ. And it really feels like the club has come to your wedding. He recommended some Sax players he’s worked alongside before and we’re so glad he did, that added some extra energy and honestly it was THE BEST party I’ve ever had or been to. I couldn’t walk for 2 days after from dancing and jumping the whole night.

My husband isn’t overly into music, but Jon got all his favourites into the mix so it was for him too - we’re talking Disney, game themes, halo. Sonic, whatever vibe you’re after, Jon will sort it.

It really felt like Jon was our friend by the time the wedding came round which made it extra lovely to have him DJing. Very sad it’s all over, but the playlist lives on and I listed to it in the car almost every journey I have! Thank you so much Jon, totally unforgettable night.

Immaculate vibes 💃🏻

From start to finish Jon put us at ease. He responded to our enquiry really quickly and was so personable from the get go. We then met up to curate our playlist which was so much fun. It was almost like Jon could see inside our brains and suggested banger after banger. It was really great having access to our playlist before the day, we would listen to it in the car or in the kitchen and it got us so excited for the day ahead. It made the whole experience really personal and tailored exactly to our needs.

On the actual night, the vibes were immaculate! The dance floor was never empty and I struggled to even leave to go to the toilet as I didn’t want to miss a single tune! Jon carried the night smoothly, professionally and with endless entertainment. He made our night so memorable and we received so many compliments during and after the day on how incredible he was. We can’t thank Jon enough, he was worth every penny.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
