Wedding DJ

Wedding DJ in Cheshire, South Manchester & Staffordshire

Your wedding should feel like the best party you've ever been to. That's what I'm aiming for every time.

Let's get everyone dancing

You've spent months sorting every little detail. Once the evening kicks off, the music sets the tone for the rest of the night, and that's my job.

I've been DJing for 30 years, so I'm pretty good at reading a wedding crowd. Grandparents, school friends, work colleagues… I'll mix across the decades to get them all up, lift things at the right moments and keep the floor busy right to the end.

And it's me you'll deal with the whole way through. I'm the one you'll message, and I'm the one behind the decks on the night.

What you get

What's included

  • A smart, tidy setup that looks good in your venue and in your photos.
  • Proper lighting that changes the whole feel of the room once the dancing starts.
  • Your music, your way: your first dance, your must-plays, and a few songs you didn't know you wanted to hear.
  • Mixed live on the night, so I can play to the room as it goes.
  • A first dance that's all yours: I can work with you to create your own edited version of your song.
  • Help with surprises, like a father-daughter dance or a special song for someone.
How it works

How it works

  1. Check your date

    Drop me a message or a WhatsApp with your date and venue and I'll let you know if I'm available to be your DJ on your special day.

  2. Have a chat

    We'll talk through your plans and the kind of night you're after, so you know exactly what you're getting.

  3. Sort the music

    Send me your first dance, your must-plays and anything to avoid. I'll take it from there.

  4. Enjoy your evening

    I'll arrive in plenty of time to set up and keep the dancefloor full all night, so all you have to do is relax and enjoy it.

Rich was fantastic at our Halloween wedding on Sunday! He played all our favourites and even got the older guests up dancing. Couldn't recommend him enough. Thanks Rich! Love Mr and Mrs Swindells

Where do I even start!? From the moment we enquired about your service up to midnight on our wedding night you were brilliant! A huge thank you for making our first dance song so special and making it our own, that was an added bonus! The app was fantastic and I loved how me, my husband and close friends could access it and choose all of our favourite songs (which was a huge range of genres of music… but you made it flow so well!). And also for helping my dad surprise me with a lovely father daughter dance! The dance floor was packed all night! Thank you so much for helping make our wedding day so perfect! Mr and Mrs Sutton

FAQs

Wedding DJ questions

Which areas do you cover for weddings?

I'm based in Congleton and cover weddings within roughly 30 miles, across Cheshire, South Manchester and Staffordshire, including Macclesfield, Knutsford, Wilmslow, Sandbach, Crewe, Leek and Stoke-on-Trent. If your venue is a little further out, ask anyway.

How much does a wedding DJ cost?

Every wedding's different, so rather than a fixed package I'll give you a price based on your date, venue and timings. Send me the details and I'll come back to you.

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you've got your date and venue. Summer Saturdays go quickly, so it's worth asking early, even if the wedding's a year or more away.

Can we choose the music?

Of course. We'll go through your first dance, your must-plays and anything you'd rather not hear. On the night I'll read the room and mix in the rest to keep people dancing.

What do you need from the venue?

Just a power supply and a space of roughly 2m x 4m for my lights, speakers and DJ booth. I need at least 90 minutes to set up, so I'll check access times with your venue beforehand.

Are you insured and is your equipment safety tested?

Yes. I have full public liability insurance and all my kit is PAT tested, so your venue has everything it needs.

Can you edit our first dance song?

Yes. If your song's too long, or you'd like to add an intro or blend two songs together, I'll work with you to produce your own edited version.

Is your wedding date free?

Send me your date and venue and I'll get back to you myself.

Rather chat? WhatsApp me or give me a ring on 07377 740273.

How would you like me to reply?

I'll only use your details to reply to your enquiry. See the privacy notice.
