DJ Wayne Smooth was excellent and managed to keep us all on the dancefloor the whole night! He took our briefing really well and played the type of music we knew would get everyone on their feet, he also took people's requests and included as many as possible throughout the evening. Overall great DJ, great setup and a friendly, nice guy to organise everything with! I would highly recommend!
