Wedding DJ & Lightshow

Almost half your wedding
happens after dark.

The party half of the day. The bit your mates still go on about. That’s the half I look after.

The bit nobody plans for

You’ll plan every minute of the day.
Then guess at the night.

You’ll spend months getting the day right. Then the evening gets left to a playlist and a DJ you’ve barely spoken to, and that’s usually the bit people go on about afterwards. It’s the half I look after. No cheesy wedding disco, no Agadoo at half ten, no laptop sat on shuffle in the corner. Just your music, played live all night.

One wedding a day, peak Saturdays go first, so check yours is still free.

What you’re actually getting

Why nobody sits down.

Mixed live

Mixed live

I mix it live all night, every track into the last, so the floor fills early and stays full. Not a playlist on shuffle.

A lightshow that moves

A lightshow that moves

It lights the whole room, not just my corner, and shifts with every track. It makes a function room feel like a night out.

Live sax

Live sax, if you fancy it

Played live over the mix. It’s the bit that ends up on everyone’s stories.

See a real one

A real night, start to finish.

This is a real wedding at Tortworth Court. Press play, it’ll tell you more than I can.

How your day runs

Every moment, handled.

Whether I’ve got the evening or the whole day, here’s how it runs so nothing lands on you on the day itself.

Ceremony & entrance · All Day

I take care of the ceremony music on a separate sound system I bring just for it, a mic for the registrar and readings, and a coordinated walk down the aisle. Then I announce you back in as a married couple.

Drinks reception · All Day

I provide the PA wherever you are, inside or out, so the main rig stays set for later. Want a real vibe rather than a playlist? I can live DJ your drinks reception too.

Breakfast & speeches · from Sundown

This is where I host. I introduce you into the room, keep things moving between courses, and run a wireless mic for every speaker. If you fancy it, it is the perfect spot for a few wedding games, the Mr and Mrs game and other fun bits.

Cake, first dance & formalities

I gather everyone and make sure every moment lands.

Party time

My one job is to keep the floor full all night. Ask for anything you like. I keep the mic to a minimum.

Special sets

From a Kisstory hour to dance classics as the night builds.

The last dance

Everyone back on the floor for one final song to say goodnight.

How we work together

You give me the vibe. I do the rest.

You don’t need to build a playlist or plan the night song by song. Tell me the stuff you love, the few things you can’t stand, and the kind of feel you’re after. We keep it all in one app so nothing gets lost between now and the day. Then on the night I read the floor and take it where it needs to go. That’s my job, not your homework.

I’ll know your room

Chances are, I’ve played there.

A DJ who’s already played your venue knows where the power is, how the room fills, and where the floor should go.

Those three are a small slice of it. I have played over 80 venues across Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds, including Bowden Hall Hotel, Ingleside House and Cripps Barn. Not on the list? I’ll happily liaise with your venue before the day.

“We hired Dan to DJ our wedding and it was the best decision we made. Dan made so much time for us in preparation for the day with zoom calls, checking timelines and using his app. Quick to respond to emails and give his advice and suggestions on what would work best. We genuinely couldn't have asked for anything more. On the day, Dan's setup looked amazing and he kept the crowd going all night long - I don't think I left the dancefloor at all!!! We had a real mix of music and you absolutely hit the mark. So many comments about how amazing the evening was - even older people saying it was the best evening reception they had been to. Thank you so so much Dan for making the evening such a blast - it really was the best part of the day for us. Love George and Izzy Richards x”

“Dan was absolutely incredible! From our first call, he was super friendly and professional, and really listened to what we wanted from the wedding day. The app Dan uses is a great, and allows you to tailor those key songs for the big day. On our wedding day, Dan went the extra mile and started the night with a DJ set outside for our cocktail hour, nailing the summer vibe perfectly! Going into the evening, he had everyone dancing all night long and managed to mix in genres for everyone’s taste. We would highly recommend Dan and would give him 10 stars if we could!! ⭐️”

“Luckily came across Dan by chance on instagram, when I looked through his videos I knew he was exactly what we were looking for. Dan has an app for you to let him now if there’s any special song requests before the day and any songs not to play which I thought was brilliant. Dan also sorted our dance floor and confetti canyons which were an amazing addition to the night . Dan thank you so much! Everyone was up dancing all night . Would definitely recommend.”

“Dan did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding! We don't have a typical music taste (and one I can imagine is hard to DJ for!!!) but we could not have asked for a better experience - everyone commented on how good the DJ and the playlist was. From the initial call where Dan got to know us and our music taste, to populating some song suggestions on his easy to use app, to delivering a great set - every step was excellent - we couldn't recommend him more!!! As well as the music, the whole set up he brings is excellent and perfectly matched our expectations”

“WHAT AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE! Dan DJ’d our wedding just before Christmas and what an evening it was! We had a couple of meetings with Dan on the lead up to our wedding about our music tastes and what type of music we wanted to be played throughout the night. Dan filled us with confidence and we were so excited to have him Dj. He has an app that you can add in your must plays and the music you’d not like to be played. Dan’s got one clear objective and that’s to keep people on the dance floor! He made our night so incredibly fun and we stayed on that dance floor until the very end! We also opted to use his Photo Booth and the photos were so fun to look through! We’ve already recommended to family who are getting married and we can’t wait to get one day get back on the dance floor with Dan behind the decks again. Thank you so so much for making our night so fun and absolutely unforgettable!”

Common questions

The things couples ask me.

How far in advance should we book?
Most couples book 12–18 months ahead, and peak Saturdays go first. If your date is close, check it now. I only ever take one wedding a day.
Do we have to pick every song?
Not at all. Give me a feel and a few must-plays and do-not-plays, and leave the rest to me. Reading the room on the night is the job you’re paying for.
What do you need from our venue?
A little space, a couple of power sockets and somewhere to load in. I liaise with your venue directly beforehand, so the setup is agreed long before I arrive.
How does payment work?
A 40% deposit secures your date, and the balance is due before the wedding. It’s all handled through a simple digital agreement.
Are you insured and PAT tested?
Yes. £10 million public liability insurance, and every piece of equipment is PAT tested each year. Your venue can have the documents on request.
Do you cover our area?
I’m based in Gloucestershire and travel is free across the county and the Cotswolds. Further afield is no problem, just ask for a quote.
Can you host the whole day, not just the evening?
Yes. Mainstage Sundown adds the wedding breakfast and speeches, where I host, introduce you into the room and run wireless mics, with the option of a few games like the Mr and Mrs game. Mainstage All Day covers your ceremony and drinks reception too, with the ceremony music taken care of and a PA for the drinks that I can even live DJ for a real vibe. I bring a separate sound system for the day so the party rig stays set, and it is one person running the whole thing.
