DJ & Wedding Hosting

From the moment your guests arrive to the final song of the night, I provide expert DJ services and professional MC hosting that keeps the energy flowing and your day running smoothly. Every playlist is tailored specifically to you — no generic setlists, no guesswork.

Full Day Packages

Why juggle multiple suppliers when one person can do it all? My full day packages cover ceremony music, drinks reception background music, dinner ambience, speech support, and a full evening disco. Seamless from start to finish, with no stressful handovers.

Special Effects

Make your key moments truly magical. I offer Dancing on Clouds dry ice for a dreamy first dance, Cold Spark indoor fireworks for a jaw-dropping wow factor, and confetti cannons to fill the room with joy. These are the moments your guests will talk about for years.

Premium Sound & Lighting

I use professional RCF sound systems and dynamic lighting rigs that transform any venue — from a cosy barn to a grand country house. Crystal clear sound and an atmosphere that feels just right, whatever the space.

Bespoke Planning & Consultation

Every wedding is different, and I treat it that way. Before your big day we’ll go through everything together — your must-play songs, your do-not-play list, the running order, and the announcements. No detail is too small.

Peace of Mind

Fully insured to £10m Public Liability, PAT-certified, and with 30 years of experience across 50+ venues — including Wynyard Hall, Lumley Castle, and Matfen Hall — you’re in safe hands. I’ve never missed a booking in three decades, and I’m not about to start.

Don’t look any further — this is your DJ!

We are an international couple with guests from nine different countries. We sent Alastair a playlist mixing Brazilian music, 80s disco and rock — he managed to please everyone. The dancefloor was full all night. Don’t look any further, this is your DJ!

Swiftly reading the room & keeping everyone dancin

Alastair was a wonderful DJ — taking requests and very swiftly analysing the vibe of the dancefloor, making sure our members had the best experience possible.

Amazing from start to finish

Alastair was amazing from start to finish. Very professional, setting up a contract and communicating with us right up to the day of the wedding. We liked that he asked for 20 songs so he could get a feel of our music. Most of all our dancefloor was a hit — not only the guests but the staff were up dancing too.

FAQs

How far in advance should I book?

As early as possible! Popular dates — especially Saturdays from May to September — book up fast. I’d recommend securing your date at least 12 months in advance to avoid disappointment.

What areas do you cover?

I’m based in Stockton-on-Tees and cover the whole North East — including Newcastle, Durham, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Teesside, York and beyond. Not sure if I cover your venue? Just ask!

Do you offer full day coverage?

Yes! My full day packages cover everything from ceremony music and drinks reception through to dinner, speeches, and a full evening disco. One supplier, no handover stress.

Can we choose our own music?

Absolutely. Before your day we’ll go through your must-plays, your first dance, and any do-not-play requests. Your wedding, your soundtrack.

What special effects do you offer?

I offer Dancing on Clouds dry ice, Cold Spark indoor fireworks, and confetti cannons. These can be added to any package to make your key moments extra special.

Are you insured?

Yes — fully insured to £10m Public Liability and PAT-certified, so you and your venue can book with complete confidence.

Have you worked at our venue before?

Quite possibly! I’ve worked at 50+ venues across the North East including Wynyard Hall, Lumley Castle, Matfen Hall, Lartington Hall, and Crathorne Hall. Drop me a message and I’ll let you know.
