"I can’t explain how fabulous Simon was as our wedding DJ. His communication was excellent and we had a few meetings/chats prior to the day to sort out timings, playlists, dances etc. Simon catered to our eclectic tastes and kept people dancing all night. He was absolutely brilliant throughout and we had the best evening. Very reasonably priced and genuinely seemed to enjoy the job! " August 2026
"Simon was amazing from start to finish, he took time prior to our event finding out exactly what we needed and wanted for the night. He then absolutely delivered on the night, he was engaging, enthusiastic, took all requests and had really listened to what we would like for our event!
