Andy came highly recommended by Colshaw Hall, and wow – am I glad I took that recommendation! From the very start, Andy proved he is so much more than your average wedding DJ.
Our number one priority when planning the wedding was simple: get to the party quickly. But there’s no point getting to the party quickly unless that party is absolutely epic – and Andy made sure it was!
Not only is he a maestro at cultivating and maintaining an incredible party atmosphere, but he went above and beyond by capturing so many extra moments on video and photo that we weren’t expecting. He shared these on Instagram in the days after the wedding, and honestly, they were magical. The video he created captured the essence of our whole day – a beautiful capsule we could share with loved ones and those who couldn’t be there.
When it came to our first dance, we chose an unconventional but fun song because we wanted to kick off the party straight away. Andy introduced that song in a way that added so much to the reaction of our guests – it will forever be one of my happiest memories. Every time I see clips of that moment, my smile is beaming. Not because we were great dancers (we really weren’t!) but because Andy helped us create a memory that will live with us – and our guests – forever.
Before the wedding, Andy reached out to ask about our musical likes and dislikes, but honestly, I left most of it up to him. I saw him as the party expert, and I wasn’t wrong to put my faith in him. We also had a live band, and the stage was cosy, so they were nervous about sharing space with a DJ after bad experiences in the past. Andy was a dream – no ego, no drama, just pure professionalism. He made the band feel right at home and gave them their moments to shine.
From start to finish, Andy’s focus was clear: make our wedding the most fun and engaging place to be for everyone. The songs he played had guests on the dancefloor until their feet were sore. The feedback from our guests has been consistent: “This was the BEST wedding I’ve ever been to!” Of course, they might be biased, but I truly believe a huge part of that was down to Andy and the incredible party vibe he created.
If you want a wedding that’s unforgettable, where the party is everything you dreamed of and more, Andy Murphy is your guy. He’s not just a DJ – he’s the heartbeat of the celebration. I could not recommend him high enough!!!
