Excellent Wedding DJ

Mark was very friendly and quick to respond. He wasn't available for our day, but Attila came to DJ for our wedding and he was excellent.
The online song request system was a great way for us to share our taste in music!
Attila was very friendly and then did a fantastic job all night, people had a great time!

100% happy!

Mark organised all of the music and microphone for the speeches on our wedding day. The timing of the pieces played in the ceremony was perfect and everything went to plan. He also provided background music during the wedding breakfast. The evening was a lot of fun and lots of dancing took place, so thank you to Mark for facilitating that 😊. He cleverly mixed both of our differing music tastes throughout the evening, using lots of the tracks that we had pre-requested using his online system. We also really appreciated all of the advice in his ‘getting it right’ booklet; very helpful when organising such a special day having never done anything like it before! We would definitely recommend Mark the DJ.

Magical Wedding!

There is lots of DJ up there, many and different prices. I needed him all day from ceremony to end - so was more expensive of course, but his basic rates are competitive.
Mark is a professional DJ and his prices are not the lowest, but you understand why he brings his kit and the preps, song list, request, lighting and the glitter ball OMG this is it. this was the best setup and the quality of the sound is remarkable. don't hesitate to choose him, I do DJ myself and i would have loved to play on his kit... Well Done Mark... Keep on spinning! Same you the time to research, his is top and fast. and I have been singing - to complement his kit, he has a good mic range too! you are the best Mark.

The best DJ!

Cannot thank Mark and Glenn enough! We enquired with Mark who was fantastic and took the time to get to know us and what we wanted, unfortunately, due to our own tardiness we forgot to confirm Mark and when we tried to he had accepted another job. Mark recommended and arranged for Glenn to play at our wedding reception. Mark took care of everything making our lives so much easier and Glenn was amazing, he had the dancefloor packed all night and was so flexible. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks so much Mark & Glenn!

Mark made our day!

Mark recently DJ’d at our wedding at Ramster Hall and WOW! He kept our dancefloor full from start till finish and knew exactly how to please all generations of music lovers! Mark was so responsive and helpful in the lead-up to our wedding and provided great advice for making the most of our day. A surprise play at the end of the night of She's Electric by Oasis which was our first song when signing the register after our wedding will forever be one of our FAVOURITE memories from our day and it was a genius demonstration of Mark’s DJ skills!

Amazing DJ that kept the dance floor packed

Mark was simply amazing. He gave him a small number of tracks to use and the rest he did himself. The dance floor was packed - which was impressive given the 30+ degree heat! - he was that great at getting a sense of what people wanted to dance to! Our guests are even asking for the playlist :)

Wedding DJ

We thoroughly enjoyed Glenn at our wedding. He did a brilliant job of incorporating our long and specific song requests, in particular the Tamil music and definitely showed his high technical ability. Everyone had an incredible time on the dance floor!

Absolutely fantastic wedding DJ

Mark was so friendly and knowledgeable; from our first contact, we knew our wedding party music was going to be in good hands. His communication was warm, helpful and very speedy in the build up to our wedding and he was always flexible/reassuring, relating to set up times and us changing our first dance song not long before the wedding day. On the night, Mark was a fabulous DJ, playing songs we'd requested, along with some of his own which he knew would go down brilliantly. We had the best night and so did our guests - thank you Mark!

Wedding - Slindon House 08.07.23

Mark provided the music for our ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening disco! We couldn’t have asked for a better dj - we love music but are not big on any particular genre so other than about 5 songs Mark curated the playlist for the entire day and it was fab! There were continuously people on the dance floor in the evening so a massive success! Mark is such a personable guy and emailed the day before to wish us luck and was a genuinely lovely guy! Thank you so much :) Laura and Liam

Excellent!

Mark was fantastic for our wedding. He is incredibly open, friendly, welcoming, and supportive and we were so lucky to have him DJ for us. We gave him a preferred list of songs which he combed through and played the best choice on the night, throwing in a few of his own (as we requested)
He is unobtrusive, concentrating on playing the music rather than talking, and our group remained on the dance floor THE ENTIRE night, with no lulls at all. He also adapted the music for when I was on the dance floor, playing my favourites so I didn't miss them!
He even took on a few extra requests from us last minute which really helped make our day special. We couldn't have been luckier to have Mark DJ for us.

Simply The Best!

Thank you so much Mark for your brilliant dj-ing the night of our wedding! You played mine and Rosh’s favourite music, gauged the vibe of the crowd perfectly and very patiently accepted MANY requests from wedding guests throughout the evening. I would also like to note how kind you were both before and after the wedding, wishing myself and my husband a happy marriage - this was a simple but very meaningful touch. Thank you!

Went above and beyond! Best DJ ever!

Mark went above and beyond to help make our day magical. He took what I said when I had my first conversation with him and turned that vision in to reality.

We had a woodland wedding and he provided was able to provide music to keep guests entertained and also music for walking down the aisle. (He was there for approx 11 hours)

A last minute change of plans was no problem at all and Mark made it so we could have our first dance outside. And then he kept guest entertained with music until the night ended.

He even took a couple photos from a different perspective and they were lovely to see whilst we wait for our professional ones to come through.

We could not have found a more perfect DJ for what we wanted and he helped make our vision come true!
