Wow what an amazing company. We hired Tom to be our DJ for our wedding 2/10/21. He’s been a friend for quite some time. He has always made sure we are happy with everything especially through covid and having to move the wedding. Well when it came to the entertainment it was amazing more than I can put into words. I didn’t know what kind of songs to choose so have him a few ideas and he did the rest, and Oh My Gosh it was perfect, some cheesy dance floor fillers, slow dancesongs etc and amazing mix along with requests. Then I had asked him to Sing as well, a great mix again of covers

On 31/7/2021 after a long anticipated wait due to covid we had our wedding of which Tom and the team were amazing at supporting us with all the way. We had to change our date 3 times and each time Tom changed this for us with no hassle at all, it really did mean the world to us. Once we finally got to the day, James who was the DJ on the night and his wife who operated the photo booth both went above and beyond to give us the most superb night! The guests, like us loved the music and had the best night. Such an amazing company and fantastic service 😁 we would Highly recommend!! 🎉
