Wedding reception disco with a difference


What a great party!

I was recently asked to host the wedding reception for a lovely couple called David and Christine who live in Oldham Manchester. Christine loves Abba and karaoke 70's 80's music and some chart music , they did not want a formal wedding with endless speeches and  lots of  pomp and ceremony but a really good fun time with family and friends in a local venue.

They Choose Vibes in Bardsley Oldham Manchester, this is a trendy bar in the town with very helpful and efficient  members of staff.

It was a perfect venue for the happy couple as they live not too far away and so do all their friends. this allowed people to "pop in " to the reception as this was not a formal type of wedding but a celebration of their love for  all their friends and family to enjoy.

The music selection was just up the crowds street they loved the 70's and 80's songs and especially the Abba songs that the bride loved her self. This meant that the small but large enough dance area had dancers all evening. with one or two showing off their moves as can be seen in this little clip




Christine loves singing on karaoke.
When on a night out she often sings so why on her special day not do the thing she enjoys so much?

 I know some DJs try to force a type of style or  force etiquette upon Couples which can sometimes make them feel as if its not their wedding  but that they are just going through the motions of what others expect.

I  try to give the best show for the individual couple themselves and tailor my show and style to their individual needs not force my own opinions of how it should be done.

 I have many years experience in hosting weddings and other events but the only people i listen to on how they want it done are the people hiring me, I can advise on what works and i can suggest ways of doing things that may be new to you , but ultimately I am hired to host the party the way you would like it and that includes music selection.

 I can suggest what i think will work music selection wise but  you know your family and friends better than I do which is why i always do consultations with couples on music selection rather than just leaving it to chance or risking not having the songs you like not being available on the day of your event.

With Christine and David I visited them at their home  twice before having all the details and information i required to host this great event. Its pre planning that takes stress and worry away and helps parties like this go so well.

I can be a formal DJ and a down to earth fun party DJ in equal measure and this wedding party was fun indeed with many truly talented singers.

I received lots of thank you's and hand shakes and comments like "cracking job" which is very nice to hear and I have taken a few bookings on the strength of this party.

 They wanted the reception their way and that's what I delivered and I must say I enjoyed this one immensely.


I wish Christine and David a very happy life together and if their wedding reception is anything to go by it will be just perfect.

Ladies Darts Presentation Disco



Quite a while since I have written a blog but last night’s ladies darts presentation was a very good evening.

I started off my mobile disco show with the usual back ground music whilst all the ladies assembled and what a good turnout it was!
Considering this was on a Thursday night the turnout was very good indeed.






The trophies were laid out very impressively and the two wireless microphones I took became very useful for the announcements of the winners and runners up.

This Event was held inside  a lovely sized room at the;
  Denton Independent Social Club
which is at 1 Grosvenor Street Denton Manchester. This venue is also available for private hire for birthdays anniversaries and weddings so if you’re interested in hiring this venue why not give them a call on
0161 336 4340


It has comfortable seating a good stage and dance floor area and well stocked and efficient staffed bar.
The management of this venue were really lovely and helpful, if only all venues were as accommodating!

So after the formalities we started with a bit of karaoke in fact so much karaoke we had to stop so we could let the people who wanted to dance chance to have a good boogie!

 Unfortunately time caught us up and I had to finish, I do hope that I am invited back next year to host this wonderful event as I truly enjoyed hosting this event.
