An excellent night. Dan really worked hard prior to the event and on the night to make sure that the playlist was the best suited to our guests. He was approachable and professional at all times with a great knowledge of music. Highly recommended.

Dan and Shaun were fantastic. Great friendly people and produced a fantastic set. We discussed our tastes beforehand and the nights music was spot on. Thank you both for helping make a brilliant evening.

if you want a DJ who is going to really listen to you and absolutely smash your event, Dan is the man for you. From the first moment I booked, Dan was in touch, informative and warm. He suggested pre-wedding meet up so he could get to know us as a couple and well, we got on like a house on fire. Dan is open, kind, a beautiful soul and passionate about his music. He took note of things we loved, things we didn’t love and carefully curated the best entertainment possible. Weddings can be known notoriously for having a ghostly dancefloor, but there was little to no moments when our dancefloor wasn’t buzzing. Dan bought the energy, vibes and moves that kept our guests dancing all evening. With his bright smile and love for his craft, Dan is the DJ you need. Thank you Dan, we love you! Georgia and Chris

Customer questions

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

That's fine, just let me know with as much notice as possible.

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

Sure, if this is something you would like to include please let us know and we can advise.

How much time do you need to set up?

Around 1 hour would be the preference. Ideally a sound check when there are no guests. Once set-up we will play a background playlist to get your guests in the mood.

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

Sure, we want to play tunes that get you and your guests moving. If you have any requests ahead of the event please let us know. Once booking is complete we have a questionnaire that does try and capture this, but we're always open to suggests once this is submitted.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes. Some venues do have their own PA which works best for them. But, we can speak with the venue about this after booking.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

We will always have a chat before your event so I can take the important details. You can let me know what are must plays and also those tunes you want me stay away from (if any).
