    Amazing DJ

    We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From our very first meeting, he took the time to really listen to our vision and understand the vibe we wanted to create. He was attentive to all our requests and worked with us to craft the perfect playlist that reflected our taste and style.
    On the day itself, he absolutely delivered. The music selection was spot-on – a fantastic mix that kept our guests on the dance floor all night while still honoring the specific songs and artists that were important to us. He read the room beautifully and knew exactly when to amp up the energy and when to bring it down for those special moments.
    His professionalism, flexibility, and genuine care for making our day perfect really shone through. If you're looking for a DJ who will listen to what you want and execute it flawlessly, look no further. We're so grateful he was part of our special day!

    DJ Francis Renato's reply:

    Hi Sherri, many thanks for your gleaming review!
    The vibe you wanted to create sounded like music to my ears, and your husband knowing a lot about the industry and radio got me excited to perform and impress!
    No pressure! :)
    Building the playlist with your input was a joy, then mixing it together and creating special moments simply happened naturally. Great up for it crowd!
    Many thanks for your detailed review.
    Say hi to Jordan for me! :)

    Thanks
    Francis Renato

    Best DJ ever!

    I was not the most organised bride, I gave him a few must have songs told him what I like to dance to and he did the rest didn’t leave the dance floor all night.
    Easy to communicate with ,DJ set up brilliant In fact I had some friends arranged to have him at their next event.
    I highly recommend DJ Francis for any event

    DJ Francis Renato's reply:

    Absolutely the Best Wedding DJ We Could Ask For! (5/5 Stars)

    Francis Renato was absolutely essential! From booking to the last song, his professionalism was flawless. He truly transformed our venue with his high-quality sound system (delivering crystal-clear audio) and an incredible light show, setting a dynamic, energetic atmosphere for the entire reception.
    ​Francis has an amazing talent for reading the room. His music selection flowed perfectly, keeping every single guest on their feet. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and our guests haven't stopped raving. If you want a DJ who guarantees an unforgettable party, you need to book Francis Renato—he is truly the life of the party!

    DJ Francis Renato's reply:

    Reading this review put a massive smile on my face, Jordan. Thank you so much, wow. I knew you know your music and your equipment so I was really happy when you booked with me, then to perform for you on the night of your wedding and get the looks of genuine knowledge and appreciation from across the dance floor when I was mixing records in was fantastic.
    I take a lot of pride and passion in what I do, thats why my speakers and lights are top of the range to give everyone the best experience when I perform Live. Its the only way I know how!
    Good to hear your guests have not stopped raving about your special day even months after it!
    Thanks again, Francis, DJ.

    Just say yes!

    What a great DJ!! Can't really say anything else but that. We made a playlist and told him to run with the vibe of the list and the crowd and just go for it ...and he did! Everyone kept saying to us the next day what a great DJ. Professional equipment and lights made the night feel surreal. He allowed us to guide him as much as we wanted and was very accommodating on the night when we asked for another hour of play and he just kept delivering. The dance floor was full the whole night and he was also such a great person to work with, I would 100% recommend and definitely book again if I could.

    DJ Francis Renato's reply:

    Hello Lucindi and Edward,
    Thank you sooo much for your stella review and booking me. I was not available at first but it all worked out in the end!
    Being asked to provide background music and be involved in the whole day was wonderful, and being sat down for the meal alongside the band and photographers was a nice surprise! Thank you again.
    If only the ground was a bit more firm it would not of been so eventful trying to get my van out after! :(
    I'm so happy you were pleased with everything I did. I get such a buzz from doing a all day wedding for lovely people, and when they want more and I do an extra hour, making it 3pm - 3am thats my dream gig, when I perform the best and enjoy myself the most, the definition of my Wheelhouse!
    Big thank you to you two, your family and friends and all guests.

    Take care
    Francis R

    Absolutely 5 Star

    Honestly, the best DJ around! Francis Renato was incredible from start to finish. He listened to our requests and had an amazing ability to read the crowd. No request was too much, and everyone commented on how great the music was all night. If you want a full dance floor and an amazing party atmosphere, book Francis!

    DJ Francis Renato's reply:

    Hello Keaten!
    This was a fantastic read, thank you very much!
    Your wedding day was off the chain. Such a great crowd to perform for all day and evening. Positive vibes all day long. I'm sure the field has recovered by now?!
    I have attached a photo from you special day, enjoy.
    All the best and see you again for your next BBQ DJ event!

    Many thanks
    Francis

    Amazing wedding DJ service

    DJ Francis was incredible from start to finish. He was very helpful and enthusiastic in talking through all the DJ set options, lighting options, etc. We chose the Main Stage set up, with strobe, lasers and fog, for our marquee wedding, and it really made the dance floor alive. We gave DJ Francis a list of the songs we’d like played, with freedom to mix and add as needed - he was so flexible, happily accepting all our little additional requests, such as specific 30 second intro music for each person giving a speech! He also provided perfect subtle background music during our wedding breakfast, and acted as MC. Good value for money, he really helped add that special vibe to our day. Would definitely recommend!

    DJ Francis Renato's reply:

    Hi Emma and Benjy
    This was wonderful to read, thank you.
    It was a joy to be booked by you and perform for you on the day, mainly because you went to so much effort with your music playlists for the different parts of your special day, from welcome drinks music, background, to the special small snippets we planned for just before everyones speeches, then the evening party agreed to be in 4 sets building up the energy and tempo as it progressed. Was a pleasure for me to mix it all together!
    Being the MC for the day too is good fun, a lot of responsibility of course, but very rewarding! Thank you.

    Main Stage (the larger sound & light show) is best for the party atmos later on at a marquee wedding, fog machine makes the lights laser and strobe look the business!

    Appreciate your positive feedback, many thanks
    Francis

    Brilliant 10/10!

    Honestly the best DJ around! No request was too much and he was so responsive to any email or query we had. Our guests commented how great the music was and a TikTok one of our guests made is currently at 650k views! You will not be disappointed and it totally made our wedding day 🤍

    DJ Francis Renato's reply:

    Hi Ruth, that was one special evening I must say, and I have not considered going on TikTok until this happened and your guests video of the night went Viral!! :)
    Thank you so much for booking me and going to the effort of writing me a lovely positive review like this, makes me very happy doing what I enjoy doing every week the most!
    I endeavour to be as helpful with the contact and advice giving before the big day.
    Thanks again.
    I wonder how many views the Viral video has got now!...

    Amazing DJ!

    Francis was awesome! Mixed our playlist really well and when we gave him license to go outside the requested list, he nailed the song choices. Really easy to deal with in the lead up to our wedding. Very responsive and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a DJ in the future!

    DJ Francis Renato's reply:

    Heya Dean
    Mixing up your playlist on the night was a joy, honestly - great eclectic selection, which kept your guests and yourselves dancing the whole night!
    Thanks for the detail - I go out of my way to reply to all questions and thoughts before your special day asap and with plenty of detail.
    Big shout out to your photographer, she helped me capture this photo - so I am actually in the shot, usually I'm the one behind the camera and not in the frame!
    Big thank you once again to you and your beautiful wife.
    Cheers :)

    Sixth Form Leavers' Ball

    Whilst not a wedding, Francis was the DJ for us at our Upper Sixth Leavers' Ball. Despite having to contend with a mixed audience of students and parents, he played a set which appealed to all. The event was a huge success and the feedback from it has been amazing - Francis very much contributed to that. In the build up to the event, he was always responsive to emails and sought information to ensure that he knew the audience. On the day, he arrived early and brought a full rig, which he set up quickly. All-in-all, we would definitely recommend him - a really nice guy and very easy to work with.

    DJ Francis Renato's reply:

    That was a wonderful read, thank you Will. It was truly an eventful event! So many moments on the dance floor!
    Thanks again and I look forward to next years Ball.

    Kind regards
    Francis
