We loved the online system to request songs and John played these as well as mixing in more we hadn't thought of to keep everyone dancing. We had originally thought of just using a playlist but so glad we went with Essex Event, the atmosphere would not have been the same! It was so good I danced for almost 4 hours straight and was exhausted by the e

Amazing DJ

John was the DJ for our wedding at the start of September this year, he was amazing. He provided the light up dance floor, love letters, magic photo booth and great music, the website is easy to you and John was there for all the requests. I would recommend John and can’t wait to have a big birthday to use him again. Thank you soo much for making our day and night soo special
