HOW I WORK / FROM HELLO TO LAST SONG
Built with you.
Live in the room.
Here’s how my wedding DJ planning process works, from your first enquiry and music consultation to a set built around you and responsive to the room. You bring the knowledge of your people. I bring the structure, judgement and nineteen years of knowing what a dancefloor is saying back.
PLAN DEEPLY · PLAY FREELY 01 / THE WHOLE PROCESS
No mystery.
No homework panic.
You are not expected to hand me five perfect hours in order. The planning is designed to capture meaning and boundaries, then leave enough air for a real party to happen.
- 01ENQUIRY
Date, venue, timings and a little about you
I check availability, journey and the practical shape of the booking. You get a clear quote and contract rather than a vague “package from” price.
- 02BOOKING
One-third deposit secures the date
The remaining balance is due one month before the wedding. We arrange your consultation in good time, without turning the whole engagement into admin.
- 03MUSIC PREFERENCES
Must-plays, hard no’s, memories and people
The form asks useful questions: what you love, what you hate, who is coming, the scenes you share and how much freedom you want me to have.
- 04CONSULTATION
One proper conversation
Usually around an hour in person in Birmingham, or by video. We settle logistics first, then talk through the shape, tone and possible musical routes of the night.
- 05THE WEDDING
I arrive early, build properly and make it live
I handle setup, liaise with the venue, make the announcements you actually need and turn the plan into a responsive set.
02 / THE KEY DISTINCTION
A brief,
not a script.
A fixed playlist can only describe the party you imagined. A DJ should respond to the party that is actually happening.
I will not ignore your wishes in the name of “reading the room”. I use them as the guardrails. Inside those, I can change pace, join unlikely dots, take a useful request or move the heavier run later when it will hit twice as hard.
03 / YOU SET THE BOUNDARIES
Requests, announcements
and other variables.
Useful, not constant
Introductions and practical announcements where wanted. No running commentary and no manufactured banter.
Your version, your moment
We confirm the exact track or edit and what should happen immediately afterwards so the floor opens naturally.
Possible when the room allows
Venue rules and your booking come first. Extra performance time is priced transparently in half-hour increments.
YOUR MUSIC + YOUR PEOPLE + A DJ WHO CAN MAKE DECISIONS
DATE IN THE DIARY. PEOPLE YOU LOVE. MUSIC THAT MATTERS.
