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.

The most incredible day

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ at our wedding and The Wedding Chaps deserve every award they have won. From our very first conversation, Paul was warm, professional and organised. He ensure that the day was tailored to us and had such great attention to detail. In the lead up to the day, we had a couple of conversations and Paul was always available to answer any questions we had.
On the day, he was with us from the ceremony through to the dancing and his choice of music was perfect for each part of the day. He judged the room perfectly, keeping the dance floor packed all night with a brilliant mix of songs to appeal to all generations. I’ve been a to a few weddings as a guest and can honestly say, no other wedding has had as packed a dance floor as ours all night to the very last song.
The Tomfoolery box was incredible with such a fun mix of props which everyone loved - the hats were a huge success!! He was also happy to accommodate any requests without losing the flow of the evening. Paul did such a great job with announcements and helped everything run smoothly - he’s very good at getting the guests hyped up and bringing the energy!
So many of our guests commented on how excellent he was. We would highly recommend The Wedding Chaps, and particularly Paul and would love to be at one of his events again.

Excellent evening entertainment, your guests will love them!

We are so pleased that we chose The Wedding Chaps for our evening entertainment.

From the moment the evening celebrations started, Paul did a fantastic job as our DJ, keeping the atmosphere lively and the dance floor busy. The music was spot on, and our guests had an amazing time throughout the night.

One of the standout features was the Selfie Wizard. It was a huge hit with our guests, and everyone got involved. Looking back through the photos after the wedding has been brilliant – they captured so many funny moments, genuine reactions, and memories that we might otherwise have missed. It really added something special to the evening.

The Tom Foolery Box was another fantastic addition and proved incredibly popular with our guests. It created plenty of laughs and helped make the evening even more memorable.

We had originally considered booking a live band, but we are so glad we decided to go with The Wedding Chaps instead. The combination of great music, interactive entertainment, and unforgettable memories made for the perfect evening reception.

A huge thank you to Paul and the entire team for helping us end our wedding day in style. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Wedding Chaps to anyone looking for exceptional wedding entertainment.

We had Ben from the wedding chaps DJ at our wedding on the 6th June and he was absolutely incredible! He was so lovely, he listened to our song recommendations and made sure our music for our wedding represented us. We highly recommend Ben- Thank you ! xx

Amazing DJs

It's easy to see why The Wedding Chaps have won awards!
From the very first communication right through to the wedding day itself, Paul was professional, down to earth and nothing was too much trouble.
It's clear being a DJ isn't just a job, it's so much more than that. Working alongside us, he created the perfect playlists for the various aspects of the day and all our guests loved it!

Absolutely perfect

Harry was absolutely amazing. The range of services he offers & the personalisation to make the evening exactly your own was brilliant. My husband & I love our music, so we knew we needed someone who could match exactly what we were looking for. At not one point was the dance floor empty & we received so many compliments from guests for how great the evening entertainment was. It ended our day on such a high so I cannot recommend Harry & his team enough. It was a brilliant way to end a brilliant day.

Thank you again to Harry & the Wedding Chaps.

May Marquee Wedding

If you are thinking about hiring Ben from The Wedding Chaps for your wedding then absolutely go for it! Ben did the music and MC’ing for our wedding this May, including background music for drinks, dinner, managing speeches and of course the party. As part of the wedding chaps team, Ben sent us a book to fill in with song ideas and so he could understand exactly what we wanted through the day, and then had a meeting to chat through all the details pre-wedding. Ben is so welcoming and easy to get along with — he made the planning stress free, and (more importantly) the party AMAZING. The dance floor was absolutely popping as soon as he started right up until the last song, with many guests telling us how much fun they had. Thank you Ben!

Best wedding DJ experience

Harry at The Wedding Chaps was excellent from start to finish throughout both the planning and our big day.

The Wedding Chaps provide a very detailed (and fun) booklet which couples complete before the big day to give them all the inspiration they need for your music taste.

Harry put our minds at ease before the day, answering all of our questions and providing some great ideas and experiences he has seen.

He got our music taste just right and ensured the dancefloor was packed all night. We had multiple guests complement us throughout the night regarding Harry which is a testament to him.

Would highly recommend Harry from the Wedding Chaps.

Amazing DJ!

Harry is an amazing DJ. He provided great entertainment and the best tunes to keep our dancefloor busy all night!
Choosing songs can be very overwhelming, however, with The Wedding Chaps helpful booklet, which is provided when you book with them, it put us at instant ease. It was also good fun to go through together in the evenings. Would absolutely recommend The Wedding Chaps!

Highly Recommend! ✨️

Highly Recommend The Wedding Chaps! We had the pleasure of Harry DJ'ing for our wedding at Winters Barns. We found the attention to detail with the music package and booklet great as we could completely tailor the evening to our choices, we also played the Mr and Mrs game which was fun and filled the room with laughter! Harry is so friendly and he brought an amazing vibe to the evening with great music to get all the guests up and dancing. Harry also took our "Survivors" photo at the end of the night which was amazing and will be a great memory to look back on! 🤍

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
