I am a Wedding & Event Dj with International Nightclub experience and work regularly alongside some of the North-West Uk's best suppliers and venues, as a DJ I believe every event should be tailored to the specific needs of the client, and for that communication is key, the last thing you need for a special event is a DJ who isn't reading the room or your requirements, whether that's setting the ambience in the background at a restaurant, crafting a magical moment for your first dance or raising the roof at the local club. I grew up in a musical family with my parents working in bands at social clubs and I also work now as a piano teacher and music producer arouund DJ gigs, this gives me a unique respect for music of all types and background from House music to RnB to Rock Bands and everything in-between, it also allows me to draw from a wide array of music and influences when aiming to keep a dancefloor busy and people entertained. That said I believe the best person to curate a playlist for your event is always you! and for that reason I always offer a bespoke playlist and a phone call before any event, so that together we can find the best styles of music to make your event truly memorable.

Ben was the Dj at my wedding on Saturday at Eaves hall and what a fabulous job he did! He interacted with the guests, music was great and kept my guests on the dance floor, dancing the night away! Thanks so much!

Flawless, great communication and professionalism. Ben on the evening worked his audience very well and we all had an amazing time. Thankyou so much. Would definitely recommend.
