There’s something about Ettington Park…

I don’t know if it’s the venue, the sort of people who get married here or the fact that the sun always seems to shine on Stratford Upon Avon, but being a wedding DJ at Ettington Park Hotel ALWAYS seems so much fun!

Tonight it’s Hayley and Gary (replete in respective glittery Jimmy Choos and golden crushed velvet jacket) who, along with their guests, are tearing up the dancefloor. No buffet stoppage – these guys are hardcore ’til midnight! ;)

Heart 100.7 schedule changes…

In the next couple of weeks my role at Heart 100.7 will be changing. I’m delighted to say that I’ll be in charge of Weekend Breakfast from July and you’ll find me on air between 8am and Midday at the weekend. I’ll still figure in the week too. I’ll be covering Heart Breakfast and Heart Drivetime as and when the guys are on holiday or off poorly.

This schedule change will give me a lot more time to concentrate on my personal commitments including wedding entertainment, general disco services and corporate event hosting. I’m also looking forward to a little more family and motorcycle time so let’s hope the sun keeps shining!

Please get in touch with any queries especially if you’re looking to hire a wedding DJ in Birmingham or an event host in the West Midlands.

I’m sooooo slack at this blogging malarky!

Call me lazy but I haven’t blogged in weeks and I feel so guilty. I have been a busy boy though. This weekend holds a Civil Ceremony in Solihull, a wedding in Stratford Upon Avon and two radio shows! Ok, not so much lazy but more nose to the grindstone.

I’m delighted that my role at Heart 100.7 will be changing soon and whilst I’ll still be very much on air, I will have a little more time to devote to the disco business. More on this next week though.

Right, I have gig preperation to do so if you’ll excuse me. I’ll see you at the Forest Of Arden on Friday for Kirst and Saras’ do or on Saturday at Ettington Park for Gary & Hayleys’ wedding party. Both look like big fun with some real party people.

Get married – lose weight!

When I meet with brides to discuss entertainment there’s always one thing that gets mentioned – the big day diet. Well worry not – I’ve just read today that brides shed more than a stone ahead of their wedding day! How?

According to a study many brides deliberately order a dress that’s too small – to make sure they reach their target weight. Over 50% lose 1st 2lb in the run up to their wedding, while 1 in 10 slim down by a staggering 2st. But things change dramatically after they tie the knot… One in five of the women polled admitted they put the weight back on within the first six months of marriage and 14% said they started piling the pounds back on while they were still on honeymoon. 15% of women even turned to comfort eating because they were so upset that the wedding and honeymoon was over. Oh dear.

So let me get this right – you lose weight, gain 14 stone of male balast and then put more on! ;)

Without blowing my own trumpet I have lost 2.5 stone in the last 3 months so I’ll be happy to pass on any tips. Ok, maybe I should just stick to being your wedding DJ. Contact me here for either!

The adventures of Wedding DJs…

How busy are things?! Look I’m not moaning but I did intend to blog regularly throughout the summer. Weddding DJ commitments seem to have me only finding a weekly opportunity to sit here and type. Pah!

Congratulations to James & Claire who celebrated their wedding at the Forest Hotel in Solihull on Saturday night. It was a fab do with the suited and booted getting down to a good bit of indie, ska and 2 tone! The groom is a fan of live music and insisted on The Specials. Erm, who am I to argue?!

I’m looking forward to meeting clients at Ettington Park Hotel (nr Stratford Upon Avon) on Wednesday night to discuss their musical needs, then The Botanical Gardens (Birmingham), New Hall (Sutton Coldfield) & The Forest Arden (Warwickshire) all feature in my list of places to plan wedding discos for.

Of course I’m not complaining. I love being busy! Hire a wedding DJ in Birmingham or beyond by clicking here. If I don’t keep busy I’ll blog more and you don’t want that! ;)
