Welcome to our wedding blog. We’ll be adding new blog posts all the time about previous weddings we’ve played at, containing photos, playlists and plenty of other stuff so you’ll get an idea of how we work, and what we can bring to your day.
We hope you’ll find lots of inspiration for your wedding day, from venue ideas, maybe some music and first dance suggestions, to which of our options might work best for you.
Please keep checking back as we aim to update this pretty regularly!
Nicola and Sean were looking for a wedding DJ when they attended a fair at which I was exhibiting on a snowy day at Gilwell Park in Chingford, where they were also getting married. We had a good chat at the show and when they returned to my stand before heading home I thought there was a good chance they would book us! And happily, that turned out to be the case… We exchanged a few emails after the show and I arranged to meet Sean and Nicky again at their flat in London, ironically after another wedding show at a different venue! We had a great chat about music, it turned out were huge music fans who went to an unbelievable number of gigs between them! That a couple are really into their music is always a reassuring discovery, which might sound daft but it’s amazing how many...
We met Ian and Caroline at a wedding fair, and they subsequently booked us to be their wedding DJ, opting for our DJ only set-up. This was the first trip to Layer Marney Tower in Essex for Disco Wed and I’d been looking forward to seeing the place in the flesh, as it were. I’d seen brochures for the venue at various tourist information spots – it looks spectacular and it bills itself as one of the country’s most dramatic buildings. It was built in tudor times and visited by both Henry VIII and Elizabeth I (look, I was a history student so I like this stuff, ok?! 😎 ) and more recently by lovely Fiona Bruce and the Antique’s Roadshow team. If buildings could talk, then no doubt Layer Marney would share a tale or two with Henry Sandon about the good old days then visibly reel in...
This was a really enjoyable wedding, another one we got in a flurry of bookings from wedding shows we attended in the spring… In fact Graham and Jessica pretty much booked us right there and then for this one, which had never happened before – so much as I don’t enjoy attending wedding shows I guess this shows that they work! After a last minute change of date and venue I found myself at Stock Brook Country Club – home of a 27 hole championship golf course near Billericay in Essex. Now I’m no golfer but if I was I can imagine it’s a nice place to play! I’m not usually much of a fan of golf clubs as venues, but this place is very well equipped as a sports centre and as a venue for events too. They have several rooms for weddings and functions which were all...
My main memories of the day I spent as a wedding DJ at Priory Barn in Hertfordshire are of beautiful people and beautiful surroundings! The venue was apparently recently voted as the 21st best wedding venue in the UK by Brides magazine, and whilst I can be a bit cynical about things like awards and chart placements (particularly when the list appears to be grouped by regions rather than being a straight run-down!), it’s certainly a lovely looking place both inside and out, with gorgeous gardens, manicured lawns and set in very pretty countryside. These memories are no doubt aided by a particularly good set of photos taken by Andy Rapkins who has kindly allowed me to share them here. Plus the wedding took place on one of the few days that summer when the sun shone and it was warm, but the happy couple and their guests sure...
We were so excited when Chris & Julia asked us to DJ at their wedding – then told us it was taking place at the incredible Eden Project in Cornwall. It’s a place I’d always wanted to visit but had never had the opportunity. Julia’s work takes her between Cornwall and London, where the couple live, so we arranged to meet at one of our Disco Shed Sunday sessions at the Big Chill Bar and after DJing I joined them for a pint to get planning! They had heard of us through a friend and initially liked the idea of our indoor shed, but after running the full range of options they decided to break the budget and upgrage to the full shed. After all, every garden (even one like the Eden Project!) needs a shed! Disco Shed set up but closed for business Chris and Julia had kindly...
Just a short note to say a huge thank you for DJing at our wedding. It was amazing! We felt so lucky to have you guiding the party so expertly! You were brilliant, you set up without us even noticing and then played a whole night of tunes that... more >
