The venue would need to be accessible two hours prior to the start of the entertainment. There should be nearby parking available to facilitate the loading and unloading of equipment. As Musicians Union members we adhere to their contractual system to protect both the client and ourselves regarding performance obligations, personal safety, insurance and guarantees.
With over 25 years behind the decks, I bring a calm, well-practised approach to weddings that helps couples relax and enjoy the day. No two weddings are the same, so I take the time to listen, plan properly, and stay flexible — then read the room as it naturally unfolds. My job is to get the atmosphere right at every point, from unobtrusive background music earlier on to a genuinely full dancefloor later in the evening. I’m organised, adaptable, and discreet when that’s what’s needed — but I also know exactly when to raise the energy and keep the celebration moving without it ever feeling forced.
My musical influences span several decades and styles, from classic soul, disco, and funk through to house, electronic, and modern chart music. I’m inspired by DJs who understand pacing and crowd connection rather than sticking rigidly to playlists. Some bands and artists that have influenced me would include Daft Punk, Bowie, The Stone Roses, The Editors, Faithless, The Prodigy, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Usher, Dre, Snoop Dogg, Black Eyed Peas (there are more but this might give you an idea). Years of club work, private events, and live performance have shaped a style that blends my musical knowledge with instinct — knowing when to build, when to hold back, and when to drop the track that brings everyone together.

It's my belief that companies, entertainers and DJs should make good on the services and products they offer. As this is a service, I feel it's essential to build rapport through communication in order to crystallise expectations prior to the event. Folk who commit to marriage generally have focus; that deserves to be met equally from a provider.
