Amazing Photographer & Videographer

Carlo from Derbyshire Wedding Events is amazing. He made our wedding amazing. His DJ set was fantastic throughout the entire day & he got everyone on the dance floor all evening. He took some amazing photos and by far, the best thing was the video he took. Having that to watch back and relive our day was the best thing we could have purchased. He is the friendliest guy, the best DJ and an amazing photographer & videographer. Definitely a good booking!!! Leah Mason

Thank YOU Derbyshire Wedding Events

Another week, another brilliant outstanding 5* Google review from this really fun loving couple, Katie & Fraser! Many people say that not all wedding DJs are the same, I cannot agree more! Always check before you book, look out for reviews and ask previous couples. This is what makes Derbyshire Wedding Events arguably one of the top wedding service operators in the East Midlands. Derbyshire Wedding Events is your Derby DJ & Photographer that will NEVER subcontract! Derbyshire Wedding Events www.derbyshireweddingevents.com Fraser Hemphill *****16 hours ago Carlo captured our wedding beautifully as our videographer, and took some sublime photos that allowed us to see elements of the big day that we would've missed without him capturing them. He kept everyone entertained and dancing away till the late night with an amazing playlist that seemed everyone just loved. Always quick to respond with any help needed and truly was a big part of making our big day perfect! Thank you for being amazing Carlo, and will recommend you in a heart-beat to anyone who needs a DJ, videographer or photographer. Best Wishes From, Katie and Fraser

Best DJ EVER!

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Thank you! Date: 2018-04-30 10:59 From: Hannah South <hannahs@XXXXXX> To: Derbyshire Wedding Events <[email protected]> Hi Carlo, I just wanted to say a huge thank you from Pj and I for all you did at our wedding on the 10th April. As soon as I booked you you got in touch and introduced yourself which, gave it a very personal touch. Along the way I had a few questions which, you answered and you were so helpful! You gave me different options but never pushed me to make a decision. Even after a little panic you reassured me everything would go well and it did! I have photos and an amazing video from the evening do that we will treasure forever and will always look back on with fond memories! Everyone commented on the music you played and I don't think the dance floor was empty once which, speaks for itself! I mean every single word! We really didn’t want you to leave that evening. I’ve been to a few weddings recently and hands down you were the best DJ, I’m not just saying that because we hired you but you really were! You really stick by your ethos of making it a personal experience and I think you need to be recognised for that. If there’s anywhere else I can leave a review please let me know! Thank you Carlo for making our wedding evening so memorable! I would recommend you to everyone! Kind regards, Mr and Mrs Challenger x
