Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
My most memorable wedding is easily my own. We were very lucky that our venue gave us free reign to do what we wanted and how we wanted to do it. It was everything my wife and I dreamed it would be and more. The most incredible day.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Modern bespoke friendly entertaining supportive
What about your business are you most proud of?
We have always evolved with the times and stayed relevant. This is crucial in the entertainment industry as technology always pushes forward and we embrace it.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Your day, your way!
It's the biggest day of your lives so you need to make sure you get the best you can within your budget. Chat to suppliers and make sure you get the vibe you are looking for from them.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
A giant pork pie for a wedding cake!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I like to have an initial chat and find out what your plans and ideas are, then we can progress into making those plans come to life.
Your day, your way is what we stand by and we try to offer as much customisation as we can from the music choices to the way we present our equipment.
When it comes to the big day itself we will have all the information we need in our portal which has already been sent to the hand picked DJ that is the best match for you. All that's left to do is take it all in and enjoy the biggest day of your lives.
What is your No.1 top tip for keeping a crowd entertained?
Spend plenty of time researching your entertainment, it's what most people will remember from the entire day. I'm sorry to say it's not the cake, the décor or even the dress!
Everyone wants their guests to have an incredible time at their wedding so selecting the entertainment to best suit you and your guests is paramount.
Live bands are incredible if you think it's a good fit for you personally. A DJ has the advantage of being able to play every genre and not have to learn the songs in advance. (I can say this, I'm also a Pianist!) With us having various DJ's that solely work for Need a DJ? we're able to hand pick the best person to suit you and your guests.
Into emo/pop punk? - We've got a DJ rock god!
If no cheese is your vibe - Good, that suits us!
kisstory/ibiza style party? - hell yeah! we're by far the best at that!
Good mix of everything to suit everyone - Of course, no problem at all
Where is the most memorable place you have performed?
We have performed at hundreds of venues, literally hundreds! Belvoir castle, football stadiums, Chatsworth house, festivals, stately homes, private residence, the list truly goes on.
It isn't really the venue or location that becomes memorable, it's the people that are there that make the party and form the memories.
Have you had any interesting surprises at a wedding?
Quite a few! I've had the honour of meeting a few celebrities. I quite literally bumped into Wayne Rooney while carrying a speaker! (He thought it was funny!) I walked past Emily Blunt and spoke on the staircase at Belvoir castle while collecting some equipment from the previous weeks event. One that was different was when I was working alongside a band and the lead singer was Keavy Lynch, one of the singers from the 90's girl group B*witched. She was lovely and a pleasure to work with. If I recall correctly her niece was the bride.
What is your party trick?
We are truly skilled and talented when behind a set of decks. Fast transitions, creative word play mixes and blending genres is what we excel at. Not a party trick particularly although there isn't many that can do what we do.
