Truly amazing!

I cannot recommend south west discos enough!
John honestly saved the day, after being scammed out of £870 just a month before my wedding It's safe to say I well truly started to stress. Everyone was recommending John and saying how good he was, and they were not wrong!
I booked John and from that moment of booking him he kept in touch, he made me feel at ease as if there was nothing to worry about!
The service he delivered on the wedding day was above and beyond.
The sweet cart and popcorn machine went down a treat!! I went to get some sweet at the end of the night and everything was gone.. not that I'm surprised!
The DJ set up was incredible and John himself was so lovely and down to earth.. He even played a weird request that he had never heard of before for me and my maid of honour when most people have left.. I am sorry for that request it had to be done we love Eminem 🤣!
He also a provided us with a projector which was incredible, very large and clear so my father and daughter dance tribute video played beautifully which meant the world to me. ❤️
I seriously cannot thank John enough, he clearly takes pride in what he does and he does a fantastic job at it!!

Just look at that smile on my face during our first dance and thats down to John for making the evening so enjoyable ❤️

Thank you again John you're a super Star ⭐️🥰 !

Truly Amazing and Saved the Day

We can’t recommend Southwest Discos more! John was amazing and even postponed a trip to Scotland to ensure we had a DJ and other accessories for the wedding. The company who previously owned Southwest Discos lets us down masssively. John stepped in with less than 2 months notice and put on the most amazing set! He was incredibly responsive and the website portal is brilliant! Truly made everything amazing from start to finish!

Wedding DJ

John was the DJ at our wedding last weekend and he was amazing! He used our playlist requests and kept people on the dancefloor all evening! He also saved us at short notice when someone else let us down and was nothing but helpful! Would highly recommend!
