Had a great experience with Jess for our Christmas Party. She was very professional and communicative throughout. She also had a wide range of both Christmas and party music which had everyone up and dancing throughout the event. Overall a wonderful entertainer.

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event do not worry, just let me know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £100 however in-between my sets would be FREE of charge!

How much time do you need to set up?

Depending on the event type I usually need around 30 minutes to set up, if not less however max would be 30 minutes, especially at wedding events.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Of course, when you book me I like to make sure you receive the service you require! I take requests, learn songs for things such as first dance ect... my set list is just what I am able to sing but it is not to say I cannot provide a song which is not on that list. Just simply ask and the answer will be yes!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I provide all equipment, I have a fully equipped PAT tested system along with all relevant PLI to present.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Of course! Nothing is too much, it's you event so I make sure you are 100% content with your choices and suit your requirements!

What do your clients love most about your performances?

A lot of my feedback from weddings especially say they love how nothing is too much, what ever they ask or need I tailor it to suit them. I am professional throughout, weddings, corporate events & pub gigs. Engaging with the audience, taking on the spot requests to keep everyone entertained. If their happy then so am I!
