Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
There are so many, but most memorable is performing on the Beach in Dubai. Magical!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
I am a very polite, confident DJ. I have been at DJ for 16 years now and have DJ'ed for so many different events including Weddings, Corporate events, Pirivate Parties and club abroad. I'm very versatile when it comes to playing music and confident on the microphone. Don't say to much and don't say to little in my motto! My music always flows throughout the evening, keeping you and your guests on the dance floor all night.
What about your business are you most proud of?
I have been in the business for 16 years and met so many people along the way. I love that my business is very personal to both me and my family. Setting it up with my Wife, Charlene has been great as she also have Wedding organiser experience. Hense the name "RCT" Ross, Charlene Thurston
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Tell suppliers what your looking for and what your vision is. Don't just let them sell you something. Never go for the cheapest! Look at their background, read reviews and if they have a promo video showing them in action, even better!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
We are a family business and every Wedding is personal to us. We also send all our couples a little something in the post when booking one of our packages.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
When a bride and Groom make contact they would normally receive a personanised quote from via email. I would follow up with a phone call the following day to introduce myself and see if they have any questions. Following on from that if they would like to book a one to one meeting in person can be arranged or we can book everything over the phone or email. You will receive a unique login so you can access your event portal allowing you create playlists and timelines for the day.
What makes a romantic first dance?
Setting the scene when adding other things like our Dry Ice Machine, Cold Spark Machines or Confetti Cannons. It makes a perfect picture.
What is your number one floor-filler?
Its very over played but you can always fill a floor with Robin S - Show me Love or Whitney - I wanna dance with somebody. However every audience is different. its all about reading the crowd.
Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?
Take That! Still going strong and they we awesome, back in the 90's.
What is the soundtrack to your life?
My favorite song is Prince - The Most Beautiful Girl in The World. Our Wedding First dance at our wedding
