Wedding DJ in Birmingham

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 07:20:05 +0000

Much love to Lilu & Richard Wheeler who got wed in Kings Norton yesterday and had their wedding bash at the gorgeous St Nicholas Place. Musically, the evening was a cross between 90′s student disco and 80′s sing along with a tiny bit of bhangra thrown in!

With Lilu and her family being Indian I was able to dazzle them with the sum total of my bhangra collection – 1 song! And that was one from a telly advert (Peugeot 206?) but was received very well.

The great thing about having the Indian touch was the buffet (sorry to be shallow but blokes and their belly…) I’ve never had wedding fayre that’s so spicy. Mint!

Wedding DJ in Solihull

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 09:19:34 +0000

Good luck to Ian and Marie who get married today (Bank Holiday Monday) in Solihull. I’m really looking forward to being their wedding DJ at Hogarths tonight. I have to admit to silently questioning the idea of getting wed on what is traditionally the wettest day of the year but the gods of weather are smiling and today is going to be a stunner. Ian and Marie have fireworks, a singer and a MASSIVE party to luck forward to!

I’d like to offer huge congratulations to Mr and Mrs Mark & Katie Portou who got married on Saturday. Their wedding disco at Blakelands Country House was one of the best we’ve had this year. The room was packed with real party people who know how to enjoy themselves. These parties are always such a pleasure to be associated with. Thanks!

I’d love to be your wedding DJ at any venue across the Midlands. Click here to get in touch!

Wedding DJ Ettington Park Hotel

Congratulations to James and Sam Keeping and a massive thanks to their family and friends for an amazing night last night. I’ve said before that there’s something about Ettington Park in Stratford. It ALWAYS seems to be a good night and last night was no exception.

Rarely do I get the chance to dust off 80′s indie classics like Primal Scream’s ‘Rocks Off’. Add this to a musical playlist as diverse as Rolling Stones through Take That, and the dancefloor simply bounced all night. A light smattering of cheese (the Proclaimers for the kilted Uncle Ronnie) and even the Prodigy featured.

Of course the playlist is largely at the direction of the client but Sam and James got it spot on last night – and they know some party animals too! Wedding DJs in Stratford Upon Avon rarely have as much fun. Thanks.

‘Round the Mailbox today?

admin — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 12:39:42 +0000

Out shopping today (Saturday 21st August)? I’ll be outside the Mailbox in Birmingham, just down by the canal, as your event host for the Mailbox Family Fun Day! Bring the kids, have a chill and I’ll play some tunes. The event starts from midday. It should be fun so let’s hope the weather holds afterall it is August in the UK

It’s a big day today as I will be straight off to Ettington Park in Stratford Upon Avon this evening to DJ for Sam & James and their guests. I’ve been the wedding DJ at Ettington Park several times and there is something about the venue that always makes for a good night. Maybe they put something in the water. Or should I say the Champers!

Phew! What a week…

admin — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 17:29:26 +0000

Two weeks in the South Of France is feeling like a distant memory already. One week, 7 Heart radio shows, 2 weddings at New Hall (Sutton Coldfield), another at Ettington Park (Stratford Upon Avon) and one corporate gig later… I need another holiday!

No complaints of course – August is wedding season after all. Although I hate to say but the ‘Christmas’ word is being mentioned in enquiries a lot already. Is it really that time already?!

For wedding DJs in the West Midlands & Warwickshire please click here and may I be the first to wish you a happy christmas! If you can’t beat ‘em…

Happy summer holidays all!

We’re taking a break for a couple of weeks of sunshine. Although we’ll be checking messages every now and then, full service will not resume until Monday 16th August 2010. Enjoy your sun!

That ‘First Dance’ conundrum…

admin — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 10:13:48 +0000

I can’t believe how long some of my clients spend deliberating over what song to choose for that first dance. I’m sure it causes more arguements that just about any other wedding decision. Of course some couples are far more flamboyant and want to turn the whole thing into a cabaret.

There’s actually been a big increase in the number of couples hiring dance instructors to help them perform choreographed routines at their wedding. Experts reckon a 30% increase in rehearsed dancing is due in part to the popularity of shows like Strictly Come Dancing – but also seeing other couples on YouTube. Some choreographed and rehearsed routines have as many as 12 million views online. It’s even said the average couple now spends around £250 on dance lessons and choreography for their big day. One of the most common requests is learning how to Moonwalk!

Now I can’t help with the dancing but I can produce amazing music sequences to rehearse with. This is all included in my wedding fee so hire a wedding DJ in Birmingham / West Midlands who can really help with that special routine.

Wedding DJ at Highbury Hall in Birmingham

admin — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 19:02:02 +0000

Tonight I have the pleasure of entertaining Loretta & Gareth and their guests as we celebrate their wedding at Highbury Hall in Moseley. As with all wedding DJs in Birmingham, being local for an event is always a pleasure especially at a venue as beautiful as this. With historical, stately splendour and rolling green lawns it’s hard to believe that you’re in the middle of Brum!

Right, first dance is minutes away – must dash!

The most embarrassing compere and event host in Solihull! ;o)

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:12:47 +0000

I’m hosting my lads’ school summer fair and it seems to be to their total dismay! Maybe when you’re 11 it’s not cool to have your Dad playing the tunes but you know what? I don’t care! Whilst I have the mic I may bust out the baby pics too!! Hello to all at the Chapel Fields Summer Fair. It’s great fun this!

A blushing bride and a big mate!

admin — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 11:46:32 +0000

This is shocking and I have to say (in my experience as a wedding DJ) not entirely true. Apparently brides are becoming so nervous about their appearance ahead of their wedding day that they intentionally pick fat friends to accompany them up the aisle, according to research. One in three engaged women in the Midlands admitted that they would choose an overweight friend to be their bridesmaid in order to make them look comparatively slimmer. How bad is that?!

I don’t see much evidence of this but to be fair I’m not involved in the bridal party selection all that much! So I can’t help with chubby mates but if you need to hire a wedding DJ in Birmingham or The Midlands then I am quite useful
