Amy & Niall 4.4.26

DJ was brilliant - if you judge it by how full the dancefloor was, and for how long, then it was a success! DJ played everything we asked for (we didn't make it easy as we took out a lot of standard floorfillers) and filled in the gaps really well. DJ was also very adaptable on the night and made it about us. They are very responsive to email and the online portal works well. The music on the day was very important for us and Ultimate Wedding DJ really helped with that so thank you!

Absolutely amazing.

The ultimate wedding dj….was absolutely amazing from the moment we contacted him up until the last song !
The online portal made it super easy to add no play songs and make sure all of our favourites were played. He offered lots of “extras” and gave us options throughout making it all about us !
We especially loved that we had a “final dance” with just us in the room at the end of the night. Gave us that extra special moment with just us to reflect about the day and dance like no one was watching ! It ended up being one of our favourite moments.
Can’t recommend enough….Thank you!

Amazing DJ!

Our day was absolutely amazing! The DJ was so attentive, very quick with answering emails, we had chosen a colour for the lights and on the day he made a suggestion that went with our theme which I thought was amazing. Thank you so much for everything you did!

Callum is a delight

I'll preface this by saying that my husband and I have what can generously be described as an "interesting" music taste. I'm a very typical millennial emo who also loves girlypop, new romantic, goth, everything in between. My husband (I still get giddy saying that) is a crusty/punk hippie. So poor Callum definitely had his work cut out! Despite the fact that I know he probably had never heard some of what we asked for, and the fact that he was fielding requests from our guests that ranged from Leatherface to ACDC to S Club 7, he absolutely pulled off a blinder and the tune choices were immaculate and somehow flowed really well.

He was friendly, approachable, flexible and professional, we had such a fun night and I would do it again every month if I was rich. Although I'm not sure his emotional wellbeing would be able to cope 😂 Thanks so much Callum, you're a star.

Love, the Priors x

So glad we booked the ultimate wedding dj for our wedding, booking was so easy and the online system was great for being able to choose the songs we like! We barely noticed him setting up on the day, he was so professional. Guests loved how he took song request. Would reccomend to anyone.

Brilliant wedding DJ

Absolutely brilliant wedding DJ. Had them for our wedding in April, excellent communication leading up to the wedding. Chris is approachable and professional and had some brilliant suggestions whenever we wern't sure of anythihng. Chris fitted in well with the Celidh and everything was very seamless. The booking portal especially the palylist feature is brilliant and amkes sure you can have all the songs you like and veto any somgs you don't like.

Brilliant DJ, played all the songs we had asked for and gave a brilliant introduction for us for cutting the cake. Stayed until there wereno more guests left to dance! Would 100% recommend.

Wedding night

The DJ company were part of my wedding package and from start to finish their service was impeccable. We had an online account where we could browse songs to add to our playlist , they also had the first dance song , tossing the bouquet song and last song of the evening to upload so it was all done in advance. They regularly checked in with us in the months running up to the wedding too. On the night the DJ was more than happy to accommodate requests and asked if there were any songs we didn’t want playing if guests asked for it, to make sure we were happy. Brilliant night and I’d recommend the extra uplighting they offer as it looked amazing

The best wedding DJ!

Chris really was the “Ultimate Wedding DJ”! Professional, approachable and really fast to respond in the planning process. We got a good vibe from him as soon as we inquired to book him for our special day and he really didn’t disappoint. The online booking system is really easy to use and simple, he really took note of every little detail and really tailored to what we wanted. He even managed to find some Bollywood songs for our reception for our Indian guests. We truly are grateful for him being part of our wedding day and he really made our reception special. Would 100% recommend.

Hi,

I am Chris the owner of The Ultimate Wedding DJ and your DJ on the evening.

I have had a lifelong passion for music, as well as over 30 years involvement within the wedding industry in one way or another – so why not combine 2 and become a Wedding DJ

I only do weddings as believe in doing what you do best rather than being a jack of all trades, so really focus on what makes a great wedding reception.

Due to demand I also supply DJs to other venues but booking direct ensures it is me that will be your DJ on the evening as well as the one communicating during your planning.

Yeah, I have won numerous awards, etc etc – but what I focus on is each and every wedding.
