A fantastic choice for wedding DJs.

We cannot recommend The Wedding Chaps enough! We hired them to DJ our wedding in Sept 2025 and they were fantastic from start to finish. Ben, our DJ, spent so much time with us ensuring we went through every detail of the music on the day and we loved the planning booklet so much - it was great fun to complete and so detailed with questions and songs choices we hadn’t even considered. The extra details they offer, like the lights, signage and games they offer were so much fun and as a gay couple, the “bouquet” toss was such an amazing twist that was right up our street. Thank you for being an amazing team and we hope you DJ more than just weddings so we can hire Ben and the team all over again. Thank you for being another amazing part of our special day.

Harry was amazing!

We had the wedding chaps for our wedding last week and we couldn't recommend them enough!

From the booking process which included a fantastic booklet full of ideas to the optional extras and the execution on the day, it was all fantastic!

Harry kept the party going and we have had so many comments about how good he was! we also loved the survivors photo that he took for us at the end of the night!

Thank you Harry!

Wedding Chaps Paul - DJ legend!!

Paul was everything we wanted and more for our wedding DJ. On the night the dancefloor was never empty, playing so many of our favourite songs at just the right moment. He knew exactly how to get all our guests involved, both young and old, and all the mixes were seamless.
Our meetings with Paul in the run up to the wedding were excellent, he covered all bases and each time we met, his enthusiasm and energy was totally infectious. We completely trusted Paul to create the kind of party we were hoping for and he went over and above. The Wedding Chaps booklet was incredibly comprehensive and got us thinking about all sorts of ideas we hadn't even considered.
We cannot recommend Paul enough, he was exceptional, not only on the night but through the whole run up to our big day.

Thank you Paul!

Couldn't ask for better - Harry at Winters Barns

We had a fantastic time with Harry at Winters Barns recently. He was the DJ for our wedding and we couldn't have asked for better! He had people on the dance floor all through the night and we had so many people stick around for our "Survivors Photo" at midnight! Harry managed to take our own recommended list and mix it with other songs to keep everyone entertained throughout the evening! He deserves far more than 5 stars!

Best disco ever - thanks Harry!

You’re in safe hands with Harry. He knows exactly how to make your evening disco a blast. He took the time to get to know us and get what sort of music we liked and it worked a storm on the night. Many people said they’ve never known so many people on the dance floor at a wedding and that was down to Harry.
Excellent little extra ideas such as the bottle toss, the DJ battle and the survivors’ photo at the end are great touches. People loved the DJ battle and it really got the crowd going. The floor was packed when we ended, it was just a shame it had to be early due the Canterbury laws! But that did not spoil a great night. If ever I needed a DJ again I would always go for Harry. Thank you for ensuring our special day continued into the evening! Best day ever.

Made our wedding!

From start to finish, Ben went above and beyond. I couldn’t fault a thing, he supported us throughout and made our wedding one to remember. We had everyone telling us how amazing the music was! Ben was friendly, helpful and so lovely to be around! 10/10 and would use them again and again!

A highly recommended DJ

We were given a personal recommendation prior to our wedding to speak to the Wedding Chaps about being our DJ for the evening. We had initial contact with Harry who then sent us out their excellent brochure and guide to help us shape the night and for them to understand our needs. Harry also met us before the day to discuss further. His execution on the night was simply flawless, playing great music, encouraging people to dance, assisting with some of the formalities and for this we will be forever grateful for his part in our wedding.

Absolutely brilliant

We had the pleasure of having Harry from The Wedding Chaps be Master of Ceremonies at our wedding at Hayne House. Harry was fantastic, our guests loved him and he really helped the day flow perfectly, including help guide us throughout the day when time was going too quick!
Having Harry as MOC was so important to us and he played a huge part in our day. From perfecting the aisle songs, a DJ battle, guiding guests through the day and the receiving line, Harry was just brilliant. We even had a ‘guess the first dance song’ card put on the table for the wedding breakfast for each guest & there were so many other options from The Wedding Chaps to personalise your day. The entertainment is endless and I would recommend Harry to anyone! We felt so much more relaxed knowing the music, the flow of the day and the general entertainment was with Harry. Thank you so much and I’m genuinely sad the wedding is over!

Excellent DJ sergice

We had Harry from the Wedding Chaps for our wedding at Winters Barns on the 14th Sept and couldn't recommend him more. The DJ book sent to us before really got us thinking about what we wanted, and we also met with Harry before which was super helpful. Everything went down so well with the guests and the dance floor was never empty.

The absolute best DJ!

We had Ben throughout the whole of our wedding day and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better! We met Ben at our wine tasting evening and we just knew instantly he was the one for our special day. He has been amazing right from the beginning and made the whole planning completely stress free. Ben listened to what we wanted and went above and beyond to make our day, the best day ever! Without him, the day wouldn’t have ran as smoothly as it did and for that we will forever be grateful.

The absolute best DJ and one everyone needs at their wedding. playing all our favourite songs throughout the day and the dancefloor remained packed in the evening! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 would highly recommend Ben to anyone!

Thank you so so much Ben x

Brilliant DJ who kept the dance floor full!

Everyone knows how important a good DJ is at a wedding and we can honestly say you are in good hands with Harry from the Wedding Chaps! Harry was our master of ceremonies and DJ for the day and he was amazing! His choice of music was exactly what we wanted and he helped make our day run so smoothly. When we booked he gave us a booklet to complete to help us pick our music choices and some must-haves for the dance floor. We followed this with a zoom call to meet Harry and he absolutely understood our wishes (mainly from ‘do not plays!’) and smashed it on the day, with our dance floor full for the whole evening!! So many guests said how great he was and what a wide range of music he played that fit so well to get everyone up! We also had Harry’s tv music quiz during our wedding breakfast which was definitely unique and a hit with our guests! Thank you to Harry for helping make our day so special!

The best wedding DJ ever!

The Wedding Chaps are the best DJs around! Harry was our DJ for our wedding this August and he was amazing. He gave us time to practise our first dance in private before the main event. His mood lighting really set the scene for the party. Harry put us both at ease and we had so many guests tell us that they had never seen a better wedding DJ. Everyone absolutely loved the music and energy in the room and our guests stayed on the dance floor all night long. We can't thank The Wedding Chaps enough!

What a DJ!

We honestly couldn’t recommend Harry at The Wedding Chaps enough – he made our evening wedding reception such a success! From the very start, everything was so well organised. The booklet we were given to fill in when booking was such a great touch, and the extra services they provide just made the whole experience even more special.
Our guests (and us!) had so much fun with the Mr & Mrs game – it was a real highlight and had everyone laughing! The music throughout the night was absolutely spot on, the dance floor was always full, and the energy never dipped.
To top it all off, Harry even took a photo of us all at the end of the night, which was such a lovely keepsake from an unforgettable evening. Everything was just perfect – thank you so much, Harry! 🎉💃🕺

Best in the business!

The best there is! Paul took the time to meet with us twice prior to the wedding and go through all the details to ensure he got our day exactly right… we had the pleasure of Paul joining us for the entire day, from pre ceremony until late into the night. He continuously checked in throughout the day to ensure we were happy. Paul was also master of ceremonies and kept everyone up beat and happy, liaised with venue and suppliers and run the day with style. This is not your average DJ, this is the best man you didn’t know you needed. Best (and easiest) decision we made was booking wedding chaps!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

I’m an eternal optimist who believes in happy endings and in the magic of music.

Growing up in London meant easy access to many live music venues and being exposed to different kinds of music all helped to lead me to where I am today, making a living from my passion.

Musically, my guilty pleasure (although not much of a secret) is that I am a huge fan of Rock Legend, Alice Cooper, and have an extensive music and memorabilia collection that reaches anorak proportions. Alongside this my love of early soul and funk has led to my love of House music, not forgetting my total appreciation of a well-crafted slice of pop.

I really enjoy being exposed to new music and working with people to bring the magic of music to each and every event where I perform.

My story

My story goes back to a time when music was far from being as accessible as it is today, when you would hunt and travel to get that US Import that wouldn’t be available in the UK for another month or so, when the guy with the record collection was the go to guy when you were having a party. Having built a large and varied music collection, and with a growing number of requests to help out at friend’s house parties, I bought my first DJ console at 17, and with a friend found that it was a gateway to many house parties and a lot of fun, the chance to introduce new music to party goers mixed with classic tracks was a total blast. Over a period of a couple of years, a spark was lit that never really left me. The experience of playing music and seeing the immediate effect of the track selection on an audience was, and is, something very special.

I put down DJing whilst I built a career in sales in the rag trade, working with branded sports and fashion companies, selling to retail, also getting married and having a family along the way, but my love of music and collecting it carried on through.

Fast forward to the mid nineties where the changing landscape of the High Street and independent retailers forced a career change to a brief but valuable move to the newly evolving area of Software Testing that unfortunately didn’t work out I found myself out of work for the first time in my life, I did what anyone would……..retail therapy! I went out and bought myself a whole heap of DJ kit with the thought that it was time to stop being a wage slave and have a go at making a living out of my love of music. Back then there seemed to be a total lack of understanding that to provide a really good DJ service, it would be a good idea to find out what the client wanted, I figured that my love of music combined with a passion for customer service and delivery was worth a try, and I’ve never looked back.

My DJ Style

My DJ Style leans heavily on track selection, picking the right track for the right moment, especially when it comes to Weddings and other “mixed age” events, that said, there is no doubt that beat matching and mixing can help keep the dancefloor through good transition tracks that take you seamlessly from one genre to another. I am always guided by client’s requests, knowing how music can be intrinsically tied to memories and different times in our lives, what I try to do is create a unique soundtrack for each event.

Whilst I have my own favourite genres, artists and tracks, I am not precious or pretentious about music, I am equally happy playing a night of cheese, as I am a dance or guitar based set. If it works for the audience, then it works. I get my buzz from other people getting their buzz on the dancefloor.

I love working closely with each client, essentially working with them to bring to life their dream and vision for their event. My ideal client is someone who feels the musical content is a key part of their day, or someone that wants something more than average.

I’m a self-confessed music junkie. Music has been an ever present in my life since I can remember. Life is just better when set to music! Even when I’m not playing music the chances are I’ve got an ear worm buzzing about in my head. As afflictions go it’s quite a pleasant one!

My story

I cut my DJing teeth playing tunes at various house parties for friends and family in my early teens. Initially it was a passion I shared with my brother, until he discovered the opposite sex! So then I went solo and I’ve never looked back. DJing has been very good to me. I’ve found kindred spirits in a group of DJ colleagues who push me to continually give my clients a better service. I’m still learning new skills and I love meeting new couples planning their big day to share ideas and inspiration I hope will make a difference to their wedding day. It’s a real privilege to be able to do what I do and I try to never lose sight of that.

My DJ Style

I’m used to playing music of all flavours at my weddings, but I have a particular soft spot for Indie guitar sounds, Motown’s brand of sunshine soul and 90s Dance anthems. Some of my best night’s DJing have come as a result of playing a mix of both the bride and groom’s favourite tunes, perhaps some guest requests and using my experience and intuition to select the right music to suit the crowd. I try and keep my microphone use to a minimum, making announcements when required. Otherwise, the music takes centre stage and my job is to control the momentum of the party.
