South Terrace

King Street Townhouse Wedding DJ

David Lee – King Street Townhouse Wedding DJ & Lighting. I was booked to play here by Rob & Elizabeth for their April wedding in the South Terrace Suite. As per all my clients, they were given their online planner and they proceeded to give me a playlist of approximately 80 songs. With the proviso “play whatever gets people going, if you can squeeze some of these in as well, it would be great” …. And it was!

Customer Review

David was a true professional from the start. Set up early for us, despite not kicking off until 8pm, we loved the online music selection portal. We had an amazing outside terrace & a lot of our guests were sat outside, but he still managed to drag them up on their feet & pull some shapes for a good proportion of the night. We also received some great photos from him – which were a excellent touch. Fully recommended. X

First Dance

Richard Daniels Sings Swing

Richard Daniels Sings Swing had been serenading the bride & groom all day and he was chosen to sing their 1st Dance. And it was fantastic. The happy couple danced on their own for the first half, then invited the guests to join in. As soon it was over I took over the music for the rest of the night and we partied until midnight!

The Manchester Wedding DJ – David Lee

As already mentioned the playlist was quite extensive, but this was only a guide. So with this in mind, I took requests on the night, added some of my own, and we made shapes on the dance floor. As the South Terrace has a fantastic balcony area with shelter, warmth and of course fab views, a lot of the guests were outside for a large part of the night. So I played to those inside initially then we ramped it up when everyone else came in. Then everyone was making the most of the dance floor.

Last Dance

DJ for King Street Townhouse Manchester

Unfortunately as with all good things, the end came too soon, and the last dance of night came round. So picking one of the playlist as a specific tune hadn’t bee requested I played Candi Stanton – You got the Love . There was lots of chanting afterwards for 1 more, 1 more as per the usual 🙂 but the venue said OK, so the bride came over and asked for Don’t stop believing – Journey . Everyone finished the evening singing at the top of their lungs giving the new Mr & Mrs a fantastic send off.

Joshua Bradley Wedding DJ & Lighting

Bluebell Suite

The Joshua Bradley Wedding dj Service

Joshua Bradley Wedding DJ & Lighting in the Bluebell Suite. I supplied my DJ & Lighting for Natalie & Steven in the Bluebell Suite at the fabulous Joshua Bradley Pub / restaurant in Hyde Tameside in April. We had met up in January, this is when they booked. We then had a an additional meeting a week before the wedding to make sure I had all the up to date information. As I was providing music & microphones for the speeches during the wedding breakfast, I needed to make sure I knew where to set-up for the different times of the day and night.

Customer Testimonial

Steven & I would like to say a great big thank you to David for creating us with the soundtrack to our special day.We married at the Joshua Bradley in April and David worked his socks off from his set up in the morning, throughout the day and evening until we all finally left the dance floor in the early hours.
We gave David our brief: party time with a constant full dance floor and boy did he deliver. He gave us exactly what we wanted without us even knowing what that was. Somehow, without me having a clue what songs we wanted, David managed to nail it by listening to what atmosphere we wanted and reading between the lines.
What a professional! If your looking for great service from someone who’s priority is delivering a spot on atmosphere, tailored to you and your guests wishes and will work damn hard to make sure you get it then your in the right place. David is THE wedding DJ! Thank you, Dave, for an unforgettable day.

Wedding Breakfast

Wedding Breakfast DJ Service

I was set-up on the balcony for the wedding breakfast. So for the during the meal I could see feel what was going on. I could also monitor the sound levels which was especially important for the speeches. No point having some well written words and nobody could hear them! They had an entrance song of Ho Hey – The Luminare which was followed by their choice of background music which was a mixture of acoustic songs and Ballads. Once the meal was over everyone went outside, which was when I relocated downstairs for the evening party.

All Day DJ

First Dance

Joshua Bradley Wedding DJ

Their first dance was the classic Phil Collins – Groovy Kind Of Love . They had their guests join inhalfway through to share the moment. This was then followed by their first song to get the party going which was Jess Glynn – Hold My Hand . And it worked B-| . The dance floor started bouncing straight away and continued throughout the night.

Party Time

Wedding Guests dancing at Joshua Bradley

Throughout the night we continued with the playlist which consisted mainly of chart & Indie. Towards the end thou the guests wanted the party classics and we went with it. They then stayed and abused the dance floor for the rest of the night. So I ended up chucking everything from Whitney – Wanna dance to LMAFO – Party Rock to One Night only – Just for tonight .

Music & You

Finally

I supplied the lemon uplighting, wedding breakfast and evening DJ music. Tailored to their specific tastes and we had an absolute blast from start to finish. If you would like to be saying the same after your wedding day, about your DJ, then get in touch to check availability. (read the grey area above) 😉 .

Deanwater Hotel Wedding DJ. I performed here in the Gold Suite at The Deanwater Hotel in April for the lovely Natalie & Johnathon. It was the first time I had been in the Gold suite at this beautiful cheshire wedding venue for nearly 10 yrs.

First Dance

Deanwater Hotel Wedding DJ First Dance

Just before the first dance we had the cake cutting. The couple had chosen The Lumineers – Ho Hey to play in the background while they did this which got people swaying. I then invited the couple on to the dance floor to perform their first dance to which they received a standing ovation. The song of choice was Ed Sheeran – Perfect .

Music & You

Party Time

Better than a selfie at Deanwater Hotel

The playlist the couple had supplied via the online planner had a 40-ish tracks on it, giving me a wide choice of music to guide the night along. Mainly consisting of eighties, nineties, chart stuff and a little bit of rock. Including Kansas – Wayward Son which seemed like personal favorite of the groom. With adding some of my own suggestions and guests requests on the night safe to say a great night was had by all by the time we reached the end. The final song was Chasing Cars – Snow Patrol which I haven’t played for ages at a wedding. It was soo good to hear again.

Rooftop Lounge Wedding at Great John Street Hotel

Rooftop Lounge Wedding at Great John Street

Another rooftop lounge wedding at Great John St Hotel, another great night of dancing and singing. This time for the happy couple of Cara & Ryan, and a load of guests up for having a great time. On this occasion I was to set-up after the meal / turnaround and be ready to play for 7:30pm. As the norm with weddings, it over ran and it was nearer 8:30 before we got any music playing. But when we did they all started making up for lost time.

First Dance

Great John Street Wedding DJ

Their first dance was a perosnal favorite of mine Ray Lamontange – You are the best thing .They had the first half of the song for themselves and to allow their photographer to get those important images. Then their guests were invited to join in and share the moment with them.

Music & You

Father Daughter Dance

Birde and her father at Great John St Hotel

We then followed the 1st dance with the Father Daughter song. As everyone was up in their couples already, we jusr dedicated it to rather than having just the Bride and here father. The song of choice for this moment was Heartland – I loved here first.

All Day DJ

Party Time

Manchester DJ Services

I wasn’t given an extensive playlist before hand, wasn’t given much of list at all. I was only given 1 song ‘if possible’ Kings of Leon Sex is on Fire . Which of course I duly obliged. I was also given 3 other guidelines 1 – No Old Rock 2 – Play some happy music. 3 – Leave it up to me. So with that in mind and with the requests from the guests, we had a musical journey that twisted it’s way through various musical genres and artists but maintained a full and bouncing dancefloor.

Finally

So all with all the music being played I think it was safe to say the Cara & Ryan had a great night at their Rooftop lounge wedding at Great John Street. Helped along in the evening by their guests choice of songs and mine. Good time had, great memories made.

Merchant Room Wedding Uplighting in red

On the day I turned up nice and early due to Mancunian way being closed, to make sure I had plenty of time to set-up the uplighting / Mood Lighting, test and chill before the couple and their guests arrived.

Once they had arrived we had background music of an acoustic / rock feel, then after the meal and chill time I upped the tempo a little. Not before long everyone was itching to get dancing so Laura & Hani moved the cake cutting forward so everyone could get on partying the night away.

Lighting It Up

First Dance

Merchant Room Wedding DJ

The couples first dance was lovely Photograph by Ed Sheeran . This was just for the 2 of them so they could enjoy the spotlight for the last time of the day. We then followed this with the Father & Daughter dance. This was Celine Dion & Because you loved me . Everyone was invited to join in after a minute, and they did. This meant the floor was full once the party music started B-|

In the end I was only given a playlist of 4 other songs, plus 5 do not plays. Sometimes that’s how it is. You just let me do my thing, take you and your guests requests on the night and go with the flow. Some of the best night have come from just going where the music takes us. I mean I can’t remember the last time I played Sambe De janero – Bellini but out it came, and off they went doing a conga giving it some.

Inn on the Wharf, Burnley. Engagement Party

Engagement Party DJ Services

This was the first time I had been book for an engagement party in years. And the first time I had played in any venue in Burnley, let alone The Inn on the Wharf. Don’t worry you still get your online playlist account, so you can still perosnalise the music for you and friends and family. And that is exactly what this couple did.

Music & You

The music!

Inn on the Wharf Burnley

The couples personal music in question is bit rockier, heavier, indier than the norm, so we saved that for later. We tried some chart, and party classic tunes to get the room moving, as per the playlist. But as much as people where enjoying the music, they weren’t dancing. The buffet came and went and still no one was really dancing, even though there was happy vibe in the air. So taking the bull by the horns we went for the heavier stuff, and this was when the floor started to get abused.

Biffy and More

Guests dancing at Burnley Engagement Party

So with a range of songs and artists from Metallica – All Nightmare Long to Green Day – Basket Case and lots of Biffy Clyro including Bubbles . We basically rocked the night away. Long with the pre-requested tunes via the online planner, plus as always, requests taken on the night. All this sprinkled with the odd nugget from my own experiance we blasted the night away. And not forgetting Head Automatica – Beating Hearts Baby which was dedicated to the ladies. who promptly went wild on the dance floor.

Finale

Lancashire Wedding and engagement DJ

So after 3 and a half hours we had to call an end to the evening. And even thou there wasn’t a final song pre-requested the only option really was Biffy Clyro – Manny of Horror . Now a circle of friends at the end of the night hadn’t been requested but as quite often it formed organically. Soon the happy couple where in the middle with everyone giving it their all. Was a great ending for a great night.

Tanya & Paul’s Rochdale Town Hall Wedding

Rochdale Town Hall Wedding DJ

The 1st of 2 weddings in 2017 so far here at the fabulous Rochdale Town Hall Wedding venue. I arrived and set-up in the morning on this occasion as the couple were having their wedding breakfast in the great hall along with the evening reception. So to stop any distractions we arranged for the morning set-up so I could just turn up and press play once I had arrived.

All Day DJ

The First Dance

Rochdale Town Hall wedding 1st Dance

The Toastmaster organsied the 1st Dance along with the small folk group who were singing the 1st dance. I was to take over after the first dance. Their song of choice was Shut up and dance – Walk the moon but obviously it was a slower softer version and beautiful too. Made a real change and was a great way of making their 1st dance their own. Approximately half way through, the brides maids etc grabbed the parents and they joined in as well.

Chat & Demo

Party Time

Floor full at Rochdale Town Hall

I took over straight after the 1st dance and soon got stuck into their playlist. Playing a bit of chart, party, eighties, nineties, dance, indie, rock and a little bit of Jamiroquai. This one guy had to wait for it as it really didn’t fit any earlier but once it came on he was over the moon!!! So for the classic remix Click the link .

Music & You

The last hurrah

Rochdale Wedding DJ

Unfortunately with everyone having a great night, me included, the time flew by, and the end of the night came round. So using songs on their playlist and a couple of requests I would them up finishing with Don’t stop me now – Queen followed by Don’t Stop Believing – Journey . This produced the desired effect of hands in the air, singing at the top of their lungs and giving the new Mr & Mrs Parker the send off the day deserved. This then resulted in the stage at Rochdale Town hall getting stormed. GOOD TIMES!!!

January 2017 Inquiries and more

Manchester Wedding DJ

January February & March are usually pretty quiet for actual weddings to do, but as soon as the 1st of January rolls round the inquiries start flowing in. I think people are just waiting to wake up News Years Day, and say right ‘let’s get this wedding planning sorted’ 🙂 . And this year was no different. Loads of meetings, emails and phone calls which made it a bumper month for bookings here. We had by the end of January 2017 half the amount of bookings on the books, we had in the whole of 2016. Still 11 months to go! So if the rest of year continues like January, 2017 is going to be the best & busiest year ever.

Bring on the parties, I got some good music at some great venues with lots of lovely people coming up and I can’t wait. So I’ll wish you all the very best for 2017 and I’ll see you around. 😀
