When it comes to reviews, I usually stick to restaurants, hotels, and the odd pub / bar. Since becoming aware of nottsDJ being listed on Qype though, I felt I should break with tradition.
I contacted Wayne prior to my brother's wedding to discuss hiring him, and he was more than helpful. We felt reassured about his ability and professionalism after learning of the DJ work he has done previously in major venues around the city, such as Rock City, Rescue Rooms, and the Nottingham Arena, playing a DJ set at a Rihanna concert no less.
Wayne listened carefully to our requirements both practical and song-related, and reassured us about issues that the wedding venue had asked about (is equipment safety tested etc). On the big day, he arrived punctually and set up very quickly with the minimal of fuss. Well, no fuss at all to be fair. As the evening party progressed it became clear that this was someone who knows how to 'read' the vibe of a crowd of people. One great track after the next ensued, with never a moment where a song suddenly appeared that cleared the floor. A great set was delivered, chiefly of his own construction but also with my brother's few specific requests thrown in at the right time. No cheesy DJ talking between songs, there simply wasn't any need as one great choice of song merged smoothly into the next!
Following the event, I heard many complimentary things about the choice of DJ, and most importantly my brother was delighted. I have since encountered nottsDJ doing sets at charity events where he has been just as good. I know that should I ever need the services of a DJ for my own wedding, my choice has already been made! read more
