"He got our music taste just right."

James did an amazing job of Djing at our wedding. He got our music taste just right and we loved every song he played. He was professional throughout and very quick to answer any questions we had. He provided a recording of the mix from the night which I am sure we will listen to again and again to relive the wonderful memories we made. I highly recommend him!

"Super friendly and happy to help with anything."

Massively recommend James! From the beginning when we booked James to even after the wedding James has just been amazing. Super friendly and happy to help with anything at all. Even mixed two songs for our first dance which totally made the wedding. Thank you so much again!

"I can’t recommend James enough!"

I can’t recommend James enough! His playlist was brilliant and there was something for everyone! James started the evening off with the Mr & Mrs shoe game and this was a great ice breaker and had everyone laughing! This was something we hadn’t even thought about but I’m so glad we did it and it’s all thanks to James! If you want a reliable, friendly and professional DJ, Feel The Funk is what you need! Thank you so much James!

"James was fantastic at our wedding."

James was fantastic at our wedding. he was extremely professional and punctual. He arranged a pre-wedding meeting with us to discuss what we would like on the day and ensured we were completely satisfied on our special day. I will and have been recommending James and Feel The Funk Disco to all our family and friends. He played a range of music to suit all needs and was taking requests from guest all night

"...nothing was too much trouble."

James was an absolute legend from start to finish. We had originally booked someone else who ended up cancelling on us just 6 weeks before the wedding. It was stressful at the time but ended up being the best thing that could have happened! The experience we had with James was worlds apart from the one we had with our original DJ. He was responsive, organised, professional and nothing was too much trouble.

"We are HUGE fans, thank you James 🙌"

Feel the Funk as a service is so thorough, so professional, and James is just a legend at interacting with the people on the dancefloor and filling it so much throughout the night! He went above and beyond - from giving us an initial mix of our favourite tunes, a really thorough pre-process to really understand our music tastes, and even capturing the set and some videos for us too! We are HUGE fans, thank you James 🙌

"We're so happy we chose James..."

We're so happy we chose James to be our wedding DJ. After consulting us on our music tastes, he put together a great set that was mixed to perfection. He knew exactly what to play and when to keep the dancefloor rocking and packed all night. A lovely guy, too. Would highly recommend!

"...he pretty much saved our wedding."

We got in touch with James after we got badly let down by a DJ agency. Thank god he was available, as he pretty much saved our wedding. We had numerous calls with him to give him an idea of what we liked - and he absolutely nailed it! His mixing is on point, and he worked with our band perfectly to keep the party going from first dance to last. So many people complemented the music, and that is so much down to James. He even let me have a spin to relive my former DJing days. Thanks mate.

"Thanks so much James for making our day special!"

James is a reliable, lovely bloke who really listens to your choice of music. Great communication throughout and wanted to make our day special. At our wedding, the dance floor was filled the whole evening from start until finish. Would 100% book again for another special occasion in the future. Thanks so much James for making our day special!

"Book him. You will 200% not regret it."

I’d recommend James a thousand times over. His music knowledge is incredible. Ability to read a crowd whilst also take into consideration all your music requests. He will get you up and dancing with literally any genre. Smashed my wedding and smashes all his club gigs. My partner is a DJ so he was so fussy about what DJ we had and overruled all my choices. So so so so so pleased he got to meet him at a private party and booked him on the spot. Book him. You will 200% not regret it.
