"Jared DJ'd for my daughter's 16th birthday party and he was great."
Chloe hired Lead Events for a Birthday party (available in Basingstoke)
"Gary was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding blessing on June 20th. From our initial conversations through to the day itself, he was highly professional, responsive, and genuinely interested in making our celebration special. What impressed us most was his willingness to step outside his usual playlist to accommodate our vision. We wanted a diverse mix of Latin, international, and party music - not the typical wedding DJ fare - and Gary delivered beautifully, even when it meant learning new material. His announcements for the first dance and cake cutting were perfectly timed and added to the magic of those moments. He also did a brilliant job managing the energy when we opened the evening buffet, keeping the atmosphere lively and fun. We couldn't have asked for better. If you're looking for a DJ who listens, adapts, and genuinely cares about your day, Gary is your person. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"Thank you Gary for being our DJ and creating an amazing party atmosphere! You made the night really special for my mum's 80th birthday, getting us all dancing and even creating a special song for my mum. Your communication leading up to the event was brilliant so we had a clear plan for the event. As my step dad said to you at the end of the night 'You, sir, are very special'. "
