Perfection!

Paul was incredible throughout! Exactly what a DJ should be. Knowledgable, enthusiastic and professional.

We have a very eclectic taste in music and Paul excelled in mixing every track/genre we wanted perfectly. We found meeting with Paul over Zoom on a number of occasion really helpful, first in getting to know our DJ/MC who was one of the most important people on the day for us. Secondly, for Paul to really get to know us and the vibe we were going for, in order to create the perfect wedding day.

Highlights for us would be the DJ Battle and Words of Affirmation cards. Both were great additions to the day.

From start to finish, engaging with ourselves and guests everything was perfect. We can't recommend enough!

Amazing wedding DJ!

We booked Harry for our 2024 wedding and he was incredible - he made our night! He was super flexible, approachable and knew how to read the room for us as well as our wedding guests - would definitely recommend!

Amazing amazing amazing!

My partner and I are big music people and we’re apprehensive about finding a DJ who would actually play music that both us and our guests wanted. When I say that Harry didn’t get one song wrong…I’m not joking. The party didn’t stop from the minute he started playing. All our guests said how amazing the music was. Could not recommend them more. Thank you so much for being such a huge part of our evening. We’ll be telling EVERYONE about you.

Cannot recommend Harry enough!

From start to finish we loved working with Harry and he is 100% the person you want on your team for your event. He was so open to what we had I'm mind and the booklet is the best thing in the world! The music homework he set us was so much fun to fill out and really make us thing about what we wanted for us and our guests to enjoy. He was so much fun and had so many great ideas! On the day he was the absolute best. I could not have wanted more for the experience or music on our wedding day. He took everything we wanted into account and made it all flow so seamlessly. The vibe was absolutely spot on to the point where I spent the whole night on the dancefloor. I want to do it all over again. protip, absolutely ask him to do a survivors photos, they are an absolute crack up to receive. Harry was such a pro and worked so amazingly with our other vendors, you can see why the wedding chaps are so well recommended. Thank you harry! X

The best of the best

We booked the wedding chaps as they were recommended to us by the venue and from the start they provided an amazing service. Iain was our DJ and he checked in with us on the build up and accommodated a meeting for us to discuss the details of our day and the options in their services.
On the day, Iain was spectacular and we were complimented all night long on the music which Iain pieced together from mine and my husband’s differing tastes perfectly. We also had the tomfoolery box suggested to us by Iain as being a game changer and it has become a somewhat infamous part of the day. If you want a wedding party you won’t forget, book the wedding chaps!!

First class- reliable, easy and fun

Andrew was very obliging, he listened to us and offered valuable advice. He played the music at our wedding ceremony as well as the evening.The disco was absolutely brilliant and the dance floor constantly full. Couldn’t have wished for any better which made our wedding reception very memorable and such good fun.

Outstanding day with so many wonderful twists to keep our guests entertained

Harry is an amazing DJ, toast master and so much more. Everyone was entertained from the minute the service was over the end of the night. He offers so much more than just playing music, which by the way was perfect for us and our guests, seamlessly mixing the music so there was never a dull moment on the dance floor. I highly recommend the DJ battle (not sure how I lost), dry ice for the first dance, cutting the cake with a sword, photo selfie wall and the Tom foolery box (which everyone went mad for and we got some excellent photos). All were amazing and different, Harry makes the entertainment that extra special. You will never experience a wedding like it. 100% we could not have asked for more or better. 😁

Harry is amazing!

What can I say?! Harry was everything that we wanted and everything we didn't know we wanted. He work tirelessly throughout the day to make sure everything run smoothly. Keeping us relaxed, our guests entertained and the other professionals on track. One of our guests commented "Is there anything Harry can't do?!" We believe there isn't!! The music was amazing, from the trigger track right through to the last damce. We had a full dancefloor all night. Thank you so much Harry for the best day ever! We had so much fun and can't thank you enough. Highly recommend.

Excellent DJ

Unbelievable DJ who stuck to our requests to our to a 't' but also put in his own flair. Average DJs can be a night killer, Harry is not that, he made our night even more enjoyable. Highly recommend.

100% would recommend Harry

Harry was an incredible DJ. We used his services this August. He asked for our music preferences and actually listened!! I don’t mind cheesy songs but wanted them intertwined with recent pop songs which he did perfectly. Any song request that was extremely cheesy he sent the guests my way to get my approval and then waited for me to give a thumbs up. Honestly his music was great, he listened to the choices and songs that we like and from the moment I was on the dance floor, I didn’t leave it.
Also the lightening package was fab, it made the venue look beautiful.
We actually chose Harry because he was a DJ at our friends wedding, thank god they found him so we could use his service! 11/10 would recommend.
Thank you Harry, we had an incredible evening thanks to your music!

Truly brilliant DJ!

From start to finish, Paul has been amazing! He really spent time getting to know, meeting with us to discuss how we wanted our day to go and really personalised our evening, from the DJ set list to games and antics. The lighting was perfect. Paul was a pleasure to work with and we can't thank him enough. If you are after a personalised touch to your evening and want a DJ, Paul is your guy 😉

Amazing make sure you contact 🙌

From the first email to the wedding day and even beyond, Paul has been exceptional. He was incredibly responsive and full of great ideas. We had Paul with us all day, and it was the best investment we made. He handled the music seamlessly from the moment guests arrived until the last song, and even stepped in as the MC. Everything was perfect—so much so that guests asked for some of the playlist! Paul really listened to the kind of music we wanted and nailed it. The tomfoolery box with hats and props was a hit and got everyone on the dance floor.

On top of that, he was kind enough to send through speech recordings afterward. If you're planning a wedding, make sure you talk to these guys!
