WEDDING EVENTS *
Your wedding is made up of moments that matter. It deserves care, clarity and confidence, and more than just a playlist.
I take time to understand your plans, your guests and the atmosphere you want to create, so everything feels personal and intentional.
From the first conversation to the final track, we’ll shape the soundtrack and key moments of your day, creating a celebration that is unmistakably yours and remembered for all the right reasons.
BEFORE YOUR EVENT
With You All The Way
From your first enquiry to the last dance, I’ll be with you throughout. I’ll be the one you message, the one planning the playlist with you, and the one behind the decks on the night.
Music That Reflects Who You Are
Planning your wedding music starts with a conversation about your vision and the atmosphere you want to create. I want to understand the music you love, what excites you, and the kind of party you want your guests to experience.
For daytime background music, this might include classical, chilled dance, pop, low-tempo R&B, indie or rock, or a combination that suits the mood of the day.
In the evening, the focus shifts to energy and the dance floor. This could be a broad mix of genres or a more defined direction based around a decade, era or sound.
From disco and 80s party music to house, power ballads, drum and bass, UK garage, or alternative and indie anthems — the choice is yours.
Together, we’ll create and share playlists around your chosen genres, decades and key tracks, giving you confidence in the soundtrack that will guide your celebration.
Venue & Logistics
I’ll confirm all technical requirements with the venue, check access and layout, and ensure everything is ready well before the day.
Your Event Run Sheet
Before the event, I’ll prepare a clear Event Run Sheet tailored to your celebration. This includes a detailed schedule with key timings, names of those involved, how you’d like to be addressed, cue points for important moments, and agreed songs for entrances, speeches and transitions.
It can also include selected tracks to open the dance floor or close the night.
You’ll receive this in advance to review and confirm, giving you complete clarity and confidence in how everything will flow. Once agreed, it becomes our shared reference point for delivering your celebration smoothly and professionally.
Available For You
Stress-free planning with direct access on WhatsApp, email and phone. Prompt replies, support and clear guidance whenever you need it.
HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE ADDRESSED?
Mr and Mrs? Mr and Mr? Using one surname or none at all? If first names are more your vibe, I’ll proudly use them. This day is yours, and every detail should reflect how you want to be seen.
How would you like your guests to be addressed? Some couples prefer ‘ladies and gentlemen’, while others choose language that feels more inclusive, such as ‘family and friends’ or ‘beautiful people’.
I’m here to listen, and I’ll follow whatever phrase feels most comfortable and true to you.
ON THE DAY
Setting The Scene
I arrive early to set the scene so it matches the mood of your day. Everything is ready before your guests arrive, giving you peace of mind knowing we’re ready for action.
This also gives me time to settle in, meet the team and get grounded, ready for an amazing celebration ahead.
Event Coordination
Whether it’s the venue or the photographer, regular communication keeps everyone on the same page and helps everything run smoothly. I coordinate with all professionals involved to ensure your day runs seamlessly.
My priority is to make the experience feel effortless, so you can enjoy the moment.
Supporting Your Key Moments
With confidence and care, I guide the celebration. When it is time for speeches, I’ll be ready with the microphones and a bit of reassurance. When it’s time to cut the cake, I’ll make sure everyone knows and that the photographer is ready to capture the moment.
Sometimes the plans change, or things overrun a little. No problem, I’ll do what it takes to bring everything back on track so your day always feels composed and together.
Hosting Your Celebration
As your host, my role is to create a calm and welcoming atmosphere so everyone feels comfortable and knows what is happening next. I’ll make the announcements, support your speakers and help everyone feel at ease.
I guide moments with care, supporting you and your guests without overshadowing.
This Is Your Day
There are many traditions and familiar moments that make a wedding day. You may want all of them, some of them, or none at all. You decide how this story goes.
I am here to adapt and support, shaping your celebration around what matters to you.
bringing your celebration to life
Sound & Light
Sound and lighting are integral to shaping the atmosphere of your day. When the sound is right, people relax and nobody thinks twice. When it’s wrong, everyone notices, people struggle to connect, and even the best music falls flat.
Most couples may not know the technical side of sound and lighting, but they do know how they want their event to feel — alive and unstoppable.
During the day, they want clear speeches and background music that is effortless to listen to. In the evening, they want a dance floor that feels immersive, where they can feel every beat.
At a wedding, sound and lighting must do two things: create impact and work flawlessly. That standard of performance requires reliable equipment built for professional events. Professional sound and lighting delivers impact, removes risk, and allows you to enjoy the moment with confidence.
I use a discreet PA system for the ceremony, drinks reception, and wedding breakfast; a full sound system for the evening party; and fully customisable lighting options to match the mood of the event.
Below is more detail on each setup and when each comes into play.
-
2024 Apple MacBook Pro 14” - M4 processor.
Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3 - 4-Channel DJ controller.
RCF F 6X external mixer.
AIAIAI TMA-2 DJ Wireless+ Professional Headphones.
Shure SM58 microphone for announcements.
Velvet DJ Booth available in four colours.
-
iPad Pro with personalised playlist.
EV Everse battery-powered 8” speaker.
Sennheiser digital wireless microphones for speeches.
Every moment of your wedding can be brought to life with the music you love. There’s no need to wait until the evening before your perfect soundtrack begins. The start of your wedding day sets the tone for everything that follows, and the ceremony, drinks reception, and wedding breakfast all benefit from subtle music that supports each moment as it unfolds.
These parts of the day need clear, confident sound without drawing attention to the equipment. A full dance floor system is not always practical or necessary earlier on, which is why a discreet PA setup is often the better fit. It delivers the music you love and supports the atmosphere without interrupting the beauty of the occasion.
For these moments, the Electro Voice Everse 8 and Sennheiser digital wireless microphone system work beautifully. The Everse 8 speaker is battery-powered, quick to set up, easy to move, and can be placed exactly where it is needed. It brings clarity to your ceremony music, sets a relaxed tone during the drinks reception and, paired with Sennheiser microphones, gives your speeches and announcements precision and confidence.
Of course, if your space or vision calls for more power during the daytime, the main sound system can be used instead. I’ll always choose the setup that best suits the moment, the room and the atmosphere you want to create.

2 x RCF ART 912-A 2100W 12” speakers.
RCF ART 905-AS MK3 2200W 15” subwoofer.
When the evening arrives, it’s time to take centre stage and let the music carry you into the night. Introducing a professional, club quality RCF sound system built to deliver clear, confident audio with ease. This is an extremely capable rig, bringing up to 6400 watts of peak power with the presence, depth and control needed to support a genuine dance floor experience.
The two RCF ART 912-A speakers deliver vocals, melody and rhythm with precision, while the RCF ART 905-AS MK3 Sub adds depth that truly hits with emotion. Together, they handle chart, pop, and rock music effortlessly, with this system especially excelling in bass-driven genres such as house, garage, drum and bass and hip hop. Prepare to be surrounded by full-frequency sound, putting you at the heart of the celebration.
Put simply, I’m here to create an immersive dance floor adventure where you will not only hear the music you love, but feel every beat, rumble and bassline. This is what makes your night unforgettable.

6 x Ape Labs Maxi V2 Uplights.
6 x Ape Labs Neon Tubes.
2 x Ape Labs Marvel Spot Lights.
Ape Labs Connect Wireless Controller.
Dynamic lighting can transform any space into one filled with imagination, lifting the energy and creating a world you want to explore. When colour shifts to the beat of the music, the whole celebration feels alive, and the dance floor becomes irresistible. That’s the power of professional lighting.
I use the industry-leading Ape Labs lighting system, featuring Maxi V2 Uplights, Neon Tubes and Marvel Spot Lights. Each fixture works in perfect harmony with the others, creating smooth colour transitions and immersive washes. The computer controlled system reacts to the dynamics and tempo of the music, shaping the atmosphere in real time and creating a space that feels exciting and inviting.
The Maxi V2 Uplights set the overall tone of the room with soft, even colour that becomes the backdrop for the evening. For the dance floor, the Neon Tubes and Marvel Spot Lights deliver vibrant colour and movement with a gentle quality that keeps things vibrant without uncomfortable glare or distracting laser effects.
The lights are fully battery powered, which means the entire setup is wireless and can be placed wherever the room needs them. Another important feature of the Ape Labs lighting system is its high colour rendering, which means colours appear rich and true rather than harsh or distorted. When it comes to the aesthetic you want to create for your event, the Ape Labs lighting can be set to almost any colour palette or theme.
They are also completely flicker free, making them perfect for photographers and anyone filming the event. What you see in the room is exactly how it will be captured in photographs and video, without unwanted artefacts or distortion.
Overall, this is industry-leading lighting that enhances any room and feels immersive, with colour accuracy that is unmatched, looks rich in person and photographs beautifully.
Match The Look & Feel Of Your Day
velvet dj booth
When I chose a velvet curtain DJ booth, I wanted something new yet instantly recognisable. The booth needed to feel like it belonged in any room or setting where it would be used, so a velvet finish was the natural choice. Velvet brings depth and luxury, and it has long been associated with spaces of emotion, ceremony and performance.
The DJ booth is an essential piece of furniture, but it doesn’t have to look technical. It can be intentionally styled to feel classic, elegant and intimate, a timeless look that sits naturally within a celebration. Details matter, and recognising the tone of your event and the feeling you want to create is important.
For generations, velvet has helped create settings that feel inviting and expressive. The booth follows that tradition, bringing a familiar visual language that gently enriches the atmosphere of your event and adds a clear sense of occasion.
Choose from a curated range of four velvet curtain colours to suit your setting:
Midnight Black - A deep, timeless black that brings elegance and drama to any room.
Royal Purple - An iconic, statement purple that brings confidence, artistry, and a touch of rebellious glamour.
Dusty Mink - A subtle, luminous option that sits beautifully within traditional white wedding aesthetics.
Verde Chartreuse - A daring, modern green with a vivid pop edge that’s impossible to ignore.
-
If your wedding or event has a particular look or colour palette, I can style the DJ booth to blend effortlessly with your chosen aesthetic. A customised velvet booth curtain adds a refined, personalised touch to the room, reflecting your vision. Custom colours are available on request.
-
A bespoke neon-style sign brings a striking, personal highlight to the booth. It could feature your first names, your new married name or a short phrase that sums up your celebration. It looks incredible in photos and is yours to take home after the event.
-
A bespoke laser-cut acrylic sign brings a sleek, modern highlight to the booth. Available in mirrored or classic gloss finishes and a range of colours, it can feature your new name or a phrase that reflects the occasion's vibe. It looks great in photos and becomes a keepsake you can take home and display with pride as a memento of a fabulous day.
