The nights I play

Every booking gets the same thing: a proper chat beforehand, music chosen for your guests, and a DJ who reads the room rather than a playlist on shuffle.

Weddings

From the walk down the aisle to the very last song.

Barns, marquees, country houses and hotels across Norfolk. I’ll talk with you about your families and friends, so the floor fills with people who don’t usually dance.

  • Ceremony and drinks reception music if you want it
  • Your first dance played as recorded, edited shorter, or mixed into a party track
  • Wireless microphone for speeches and announcements
  • Must-play and do-not-play lists, honoured on the night
  • Set up and sound-checked before your evening guests arrive
  • Ibiza, drum and bass, rock or open format sets if you want a wedding with a difference

Parties

Music for every generation in the room.

Village halls, pubs, sports clubs and back gardens. Classics for the grandparents early on, then whatever your crowd wants once the floor gets going.

  • 18ths, 21sts, 30ths, 40ths, 50ths and beyond
  • Anniversaries, engagements and christenings
  • Themed nights, from 80s to Ibiza anthems
  • Clean edits for family parties with children

Corporate & festivals

Professional on the paperwork, loud when it’s time.

Christmas parties, awards evenings, launches, summer fêtes and festival stages. I work to your schedule and your venue’s rules.

  • Background sets for arrivals and dinner, then a full party set
  • Host microphone for awards, raffles and speeches
  • Larger sound systems for outdoor stages and marquees
  • Insurance certificate, PAT records and risk assessment sent ahead

A wedding with a difference

Not just the usual wedding set. If you want the night to feel like Ibiza, finish with a drum and bass rave, or swing from Motown to garage to rock, I’ll build it around you.

Open format

A bit of everything, mixed live and led by the room. The best fit when your guests’ tastes are all over the place, from grandparents to your uni friends.

Ibiza and house

Sunset house through drinks and dinner, then big Balearic anthems once the floor fills. Made for a summer marquee or a barn with the doors open.

Drum and bass

A proper rave hour once the speeches and family classics are done, or a full set if that’s your crowd. The late-night crowd will talk about it for years.

UK garage

Two-step and the garage anthems from the late 90s and 2000s that still fill a floor, mixed tight so the energy never dips.

Old school

The throwbacks and anthems your friends grew up on, mixed so the floor never drops between them.

Hip hop and R&B

From 90s R&B slow jams to the hip hop everyone knows the words to. A favourite for the late-night crowd and birthdays.

Disco, Motown and soul

Motown, soul and disco classics that get every generation dancing together. The surest way to fill the floor early on.

80s

Synths, power ballads and the anthems that never left. Great as a set of its own or a full 80s theme night.

Rock

Indie, rock and singalong guitar anthems, mixed in alongside the floor fillers or as a full set of their own.

Classic wedding

The songs every generation knows, played at the right moments. Still the backbone of most nights, and you can mix any of the above into it.

Most nights blend two or three of these. We’ll plan the mix together in your planning portal.

How a wedding evening usually runs

Every night is planned with you, but this is a typical running order. Times move to fit your venue and your day.

  1. Set-up

    Kit in, sound checked and lighting on while you’re at dinner.

  2. Evening guests arrive

    Background music while everyone finds the bar.

  3. Cake and first dance

    Your song, cued exactly when you’re ready.

  4. The floor opens

    Straight into something both families know.

  5. Evening food

    Volume down so people can talk and eat.

  6. Peak hour

    The biggest songs of the night, your requests included.

  7. Singalongs

    Arms round shoulders, everyone on the floor.

  8. Last song

    You choose it. Kit is packed away by 12:45.

Parties and corporate events follow the same idea: quieter while people arrive and eat, then building up to the dancing.

You choose the songs. I’ll read the room.

Once you’ve booked, add the songs you love and the ones you never want to hear in your planning portal, whenever they come to mind. Here’s the kind of thing couples add.

Must play

Played at the right moment, not all at once.

  • Mr. BrightsideThe Killers
  • SeptemberEarth, Wind & Fire
  • Dancing QueenABBA
  • Padam PadamKylie Minogue
  • Sweet CarolineNeil Diamond

Do not play

Never played, even if a guest asks nicely.

  • AgadooBlack Lace
  • The Birdie SongThe Tweets
  • Cha Cha SlideDJ Casper
  • Our ex’s favourite songNot discussed

Guests can send requests on the night too. I’ll play the ones that fit and keep the floor full.

Professional sound and lighting, sized for your room. Clear enough for speeches, powerful enough for a marquee.

Questions couples ask

Can’t see yours? Ask in the form below, or call 07950 919001.

Where do you travel to?

All over Norfolk, and further afield across East Anglia and the East of England. Venues outside Norfolk have a travel charge added to your quote.

How long do you need to set up, and what do I need to provide?

I need about an hour to set up before the music starts, and two standard plug sockets near where the setup goes. How much space I need depends on the setup you choose, and I’ll confirm it with you when we plan.

Can you set up the day before, or in the morning?

Yes, both are available for an extra charge. Setting up the day before also depends on whether I have another event booked that day, so mention it when you enquire and I’ll check.

How long do you play for?

Standard bookings start from 4 hours, and you can add extra hours on top. There’s also a full-day package that covers everything from the ceremony through to the last song.

How much is the deposit?

It depends on your event and the total cost, and it’s shown on your quote. Your date is confirmed once you’ve signed the contract and paid the deposit in your planning portal.

What if we need to cancel or change the date?

You can cancel or move your date up to one month before the event. Within the last month, the full fee is still payable. The full terms are in your contract.

Do you do outdoor events and marquees?

Yes. Outdoors and in marquees, the venue or hirer provides the power supply. I can also bring a Starlink satellite internet setup for remote venues, so your guests can get online.

Can guests request songs on the night?

Yes. I’ll play the requests that fit the moment and keep the floor full, and your do-not-play list always wins.

Are you insured?

Yes. I have £5m public liability insurance, all my equipment is PAT tested, and I can send certificates to your venue in advance. My kit also works with venue noise limiters.

Is your date free?

Tell me a little about your event and I’ll reply within a day with availability and a quote.
