About

Speaker Box is Marcus Lovell — a Bristol-based wedding DJ with nearly twenty years of experience behind the decks. Not a laptop-and-playlist operation. Marcus plays on Technics turntables with a Pioneer DJM-S11 mixer, mixing live throughout the night the way it should sound: tight transitions, real energy, no awkward gaps.

He came up through Bristol's club scene — years as a resident at Dojo's running Hip Hop, Funk and Soul nights, sharing stages with Jazzie B, Craig Charles and Daddy G from Massive Attack. He plays weddings through the Wedding Jam agency alongside DJ Yoda and Graeme Park. That background shapes everything about the way he works at a wedding.

Sound is delivered through an RCF system — NX932-A tops and 15AX subwoofers — the kind of rig you'd find at a quality club night. Lighting is included as standard: Ape Labs uplighters, Chauvet moving heads and Astera Pixel Tubes, all wireless and battery-powered where needed.

Marcus covers Bristol, Bath, Somerset, the Cotswolds and the wider South West. Travel within 50 miles of Bristol is included; beyond that, mileage is charged at 50p per mile, agreed upfront.

If you care about what's actually played at your wedding — not just that something is playing — Speaker Box is worth a conversation.

Couldn’t have picked a better DJ for our wedding!

There were simply no negatives regarding the service that Marcus provided.

We didn’t want a typical ‘cheesey’ wedding DJ and explained this from the start. He was happy for me to throw some playlists at him for the sort of vibe we were after and he absolutely smashed it. Every single person mentioned how good he was and asked how we came across him.

His communication from the start was spot on and this continued throughout. He is friendly, personable and obviously knows how to make people dance all night.

We will be recommending him to anyone who mentions a dj for an event. And we look forward to using him again in the future.

Thanks again Marcus!

Marcus is the best in the Biz

I am incredibly late to the party in writing this review however we hired Marcus for our wedding in November 23 and it was one of the best decisions we ever made. You won't find a nicer man to spend your day with or a better DJ to play. He is so talented and created an incredible set for us and I (as the bride) didn't leave the dancefloor once he started. All of our guests specifically mentioned how good the music was so he is well worth it everyone! Hire him you will not be disappointed.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
