lozchuckles Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi all Me and my partner will be having our wedding reception at Little Mesters in Kelham Island, Sheffield in August 2015. Does anybody have any good reviews on DJ's? the cost doesn't matter much to us, we just want a decent DJ. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bloom Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Congratulations on your pending marriage and may I say congratulations on your ad. You seem to be unique in realising that you really do get what you pay for when it comes to DJs. The amount of rubbish I have seen and heard (usually on awful sound systems) just because the organisers wanted to save twenty quid or so is astounding. Hope you have a great 'do'.

Moosey Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 A good wedding band and DJ is a very good option in my view. Some do both which saves money too. As said above though you do get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozchuckles Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thanks both, the amount of reviews I have read on DJ's are not good. If anybody has had any good reviews, please let me know and we'll look in to one. We want one who will play music that we want the DJ to play and also take the odd song request.

Ghostrider Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I have done a few weddings for forum members, and always had positive feedback. As already stated, you do get what you pay for, and a bad dj can ruin your night. I insist on a face to face meeting with the couple, to get to know what they want for the big day, and to get an idea of their musical tastes, and also willing to play requests on the night. Make sure that whoever you book is covered by public liability insurance, some venues wont let a dj setup if they dont have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers They should all do that. If they don't they shouldn't be working at functions in my view.

And that their equipment is PAT tested and stickered and decent enough for the type of venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I forget to put that as I upgrade every year in January, I dont have to get everything PAT tested.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do you fork out each year then? A decent mixer/amp alone costs £1500, not to mention all the lighting to do justice to a large venue?
