Entertainment can make or break a wedding. Always book full time professionals that are focused and experienced in the intricacy's and difficulties of wedding day performances and will put you first.

I'm sure that lots of people have told you that your day goes quickly and that is true. Take some time as a couple to really savour the moment. Everyone is there for you! Enjoy it!

Only book a band or use a music agency who use PROFESSIONAL contracts - that way you are protected and you have peace of mind
Make something really special of your first dance - this does not have to be a dance routine, but could simply be how we host it for you - perhaps using Dry Ice (dance on a cloud effect) and Confetti
When contacting a wedding DJ for the first time rather than asking "How much?" straight away ask something personal like "What music are you into?" That way you can find the perfect DJ for your party.
Make a list of songs you want and don't want. Listen to tracks before adding them. Ask friends and family for 1 song they would dance to on your Special Night. Give list to DJ at least 2 weeks prior.
Make sure that any suppliers you consider have testimonials. Also ask for video testimonials not just written ones as these are generally a better reflection of the suppliers quality
