We had southwest discos do our wedding disco at Elmore Court in October and they were so organised and professional. Before our wedding we got to create our must play list to make sure the party was going with music we enjoyed - they kept the party going all night and everyone was on the dance floor. We would recommend them to everyone. Thank you. Ben & Emily xx

I just wanted fo share something. Due to covid, like many, we have had to postpone our wedding to next year.
John at Southwest Discos has been amazing - in fact, the easiest supplier of all to deal with! Without any hesitation or faff he has moved our wedding date and honoured our prices. He responded to our emails so quickly, this process was an absolute breeze thanks to John. For something that has obviously been very stressful, John made it so simple and easy. For that already, we are so grateful and not to mention absolutely buzzibg to have Southwest discos as our wedding DJ! More companies

I originally booked John to DJ at our wedding for June 2020, which was unfortunately postponed because of Covid. I was always impressed at how quickly John got back to us with any queries, he is so flexible and friendly in his correspondence - nothing too much or trouble. He was very understanding when we decided to move our wedding for the second time and then momentarily cancel our plans for the time being. I have never worked with such an amazing supplier and I just know that when the day eventually comes, he will create an amazing atmosphere at our wedding! I look forward to it and I couldn

We used John from South west Discos direct for our wedding at the Bristol Harbour hotel. John was professional and truly made it a smooth and enjoyable day for both us and our guests. From day one, he listened and fully understood what we wanted and the music was spot on for the day and night. John was very accommodating, flexible and provided us with everything which we requested, he was always available and happy to chat to us to confirm the fine details. From the morning of the wedding, everything was set up smoothly and the decorations (DJ Booth, Love Sign, Mood lights & Vintage post-box

John is amazing! when I arrived at my venue the DJ area was all set up lovely I was so pleased. John played all the music I had requested and really had a good selection of music for what we wanted. He delivered the best service and was the best DJ I have ever used! I will definitely be using him again in the future. Very professional and very reasonably priced. Thanks again!
