Wedding DJ | Disco Eshott Hall Northumberland
Wedding Disco Eshott Hall Northumberland
Daniel and Karis celebrated their wedding with family and friends at the fabulous Eshott Hall.

I prepared all of the day time music including the prelude, wedding ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast and during the room changeover.

A mix of 90's pop, indie, R&B and a bit of cheese on top was the order of the day for the Evening DJ Set at the Wedding Reception Celebration Party.

Highlights included a first dance to Kodaline - The One and a father daughter dance to Michael Bolton - Fathers & Daughters and a Mr & Mrs Shoe Game organised by the Chief Bridesmaid also went down a treat.

​A fab night was had by all. Many congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs Scott who had this to say:

"Ian was our Wedding DJ and was amazing from even before we booked him. We can't recommend him enough!

His professionalism in his approach to providing a personalised quote really meant he stood out from the rest. The quote itself was also very reasonable. 

He was very responsive when we had anything to query in the run-up and we met about a month beforehand where he put our minds at ease knowing the music was in safe hands! At this point we went through what music we wanted at each stage of the day and he demonstrated his knowledge with his very good suggestions and opinions. 

Ian not only DJ'd the night but he provided all the music for the rest of the day on an iPad for the venue to just press play, including editing some tracks!

In terms of the night, he kept the dancefloor busy by judging people's reactions to different song types. He did a tremendous job of keeping the evening flowing and everyone commented on what a great night it was!

Thank you so much!"

Amy and Rachel's Wedding Disco at Eshott Hall

5/6/2016

I was boooked to provided the evening disco for Amy and Rachel for their wedding celebration at Eshott Hall.

I met with Amy and Rachel a few months ago for our initial consultation and a discussion about the music they liked, what they didn't like, the music they required for the key parts of their evening and also to discuss the access arrangements for the venue.

Since this time we had been in touch with each other several times by email to make sure that all aspects of the evening celebration were absolutely clear.

I visited the venue the day before the wedding to ensure that I was clear on the access arrangements, location of power sockets and the available space for my disco set up.

Access to the venue was excellent and there was adequate space for the set up I had in mind.

My white wedding set up was chosen and very much in keeping with the classy feel of the venue.

I would have around 60 minutes to set up and sound check my equipment from around 5.30pm till 6.30pm as it happens I was impressed that the wedding was running ahead of schedule and got access slightly earlier than originally planned.

I spoke with Lauren the wedding planner at the venue so I was clear on the timings for the key parts of the night. It was pretty straight forward with an early start to the night with the bouquet toss, followed straight after by the cutting of the cake and the first dance with the evening buffet at 9pm/

I double checked with Amy and Rachel that they were happy for their guests to join them after the first chorus for their first dance.

Everything went like clockwork.

I encouraged all of the ladies who wanted to try and catch the bouquet to come forward which they duly obliged.

I invited all of the guests to come forward for photographs for the cake cutting after the official photographer had taken his shots.

For the first dance I got all of the guests to form a circle around the dancefloor so everyone had a good view of their firstdance together as a married couple and of course this would be easier to get them involved in the first dance as they were already where they needed to be.

From the off this crowd knew how to party and this turned into and absolutely outstanding and thoroughly awesome celebration for Amy and Rachel on their wedding day.

I even organised an improptu drinking competition between the Hockey Girls versus the Guys from the Grey Horse who were well beaten on the night.

Lots of requests from the guests on the night with Bonnie Tyler Total Eclipse of the Heart a classic from Amy's hen night in Marbella being appreciated by everyone.

"Ian, A huge thanks from Rachel and I for making our day so special, it truly was amazing. We will certainly be leaving you a review, you were awesome, thank you so much. And also thanks very much for the videos, they were a lovely surprise. As you could see, everyone loved the choice of music, I don’t think we left the dance floor for more than 5 mins!! Thank you so much. As the venue said, it was one of the “liveliest wedding party’s they’d seen for years!” Amy and Rachel, Eshott Hall, Morpeth,Northumberland.

Brilliant wedding for a brilliant couple!
