Jason is a fantastic DJ and gave us the exact disco we wanted for our wedding. He played lots of our favourites, took requests on the night and responded well to the reactions of our guests. Nothing was too much trouble and he made the evening go with a bang! Highly recommended!

Jason is a superstar that we've enlisted the services of twice and that I can fully recommend and endorse for all occasions. He first DJ'd at my then partners 30th birthday, which we enjoyed so much that we asked him to also DJ at our wedding Summer 2019! We had the perfect day and everyone enjoyed themselves and gave high praise for our DJ! Thank you Jason, we hope to see you again for our next big party! Easy 5 stars!

Five star DJ!!! We used south sound for our wedding reception and by the end of the night every single guest was singing their praises (not to mention a round of applause). We had Jason DJ for us and could not fault him. Building up to the big day he came to ours for a consultation on the music choices and to meet us. We had an old family favourite played at my request which Jason researched for me and he stuck to everything agreed. Nothing was to much to ask and could not recommend highly enough! Hope to use them again! Thanks south sound from the new Mr & Mrs James!

Southsound gave us a great night as we celebrated our silver wedding anniversary. Dave played a good variety of music and had everyone up dancing. Great lightshow too. There was good communication leading up to our party and asked if we had any special requests for the night. Would throughly recommend.
