A cracking night for Andy and Bryony celebrating their wedding party in the Tepee at Woodhill Hall. It was a pleasure working alongside Blistering Molly who did a cracking rock set as part of the wedding celebration and also provided the music and vocals for the first dance their own version of Bon Jovi''s Living on a Prayer. Some highlights included Bryony's mams vocal accompaniment to Indeep's Last Night a DJ Saved My Life and absolutely nailed the rap. A joint parents dance later on in the night to Journey's Who's Crying Night. A multiple end of the night with chants of one more song winning through extending the party by another thirty minutes or so. Congratulations to the brand new Mr and Mrs Moffat absolutely top nigh who are off to enjoy a Honeymoon in New York. www.icon-entertainments.co.uk #WoodhillHall #WeddingDJ #DJ #Northumberland #NorthEast #Otterburn #Wedding

Simon and Dominique chose High House Brewery as the venue for their wedding and after party.
They had always dreamed of holding their small intimate wedding under the stars in the open barn. The day started with black clouds and lots of rain but by the evening the clouds has dissipated and the sun came out meaning that the evening wedding reception party could take place as planned in the open barn. Some different music with a distinctively rock and metal theme. A first dance to The Used and Smother Me and finishing the night on Queen with Don't Stop Me Now. Lots of rock and metal throughout the evening with some clubland and an odd spattering of 80's and pop. The night featured Linkin Park, Disturbed, Korn, Soil, Papa Roach, Slipknott, Nickleback and many more beside. The night featured flying kids too ha ha. Super venue with really friendly and helpful staff. A nice night and pleased I brought my coat as it chilled off a little but a great night all round. Congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs Minnis. A fusion of English and Asian music was the order of the day at Adam and Iraa's Wedding the Le Petit Chateau in Otterburn. A night of great music kicking off to a seasonal first dance with Michael Buble's cover of All I want for Christmas" moving into some Bollywood & Bhangra, R&B, Indie, Charts and Trance.
The playlist strongly influenced by the happy couple. The Bride and Groom choosing to wear some more casual attire for the evening celebration. A fabulous wedding at an amazing venue. Why not get in touch to discuss your wedding requirements and see how I can help you have the wedding you've always dreamed of. #Wedding #Northumberland #Otterburn #DJ #LePetitChateau Over the years I've presided over many weddings but this one was really special. I planned this one to perfection with Andrew and Angela meeting them at their home on two occasions and exchanging numerous emails as everything was refined up to the day of the wedding itself. Despite the planning there was an awful lot of improvisation on the day as I reacted to the mood and what was happening the result was magical. We hoped for an outside wedding as it was nearing the end of September but planned for an indoor ceremony just in case. As it happens the sun came out after a few days of rain and all was well.
As a professional Wedding DJ with over 20 years experience I thought I would provide you with a tip of the day to make sure you have a fantastic wedding.I’ve presided over hundreds of weddings over the years and I was reflecting on how things have changed.
There are now lots more different types of venues available from castles to country manors, from barns and marquees from hotels to specific functions suites and many in between, all of varying shapes and sizes. In line with the choice of venues there are now more things on offer to keep your guests entertained throughout the wedding from photo booths to roulette wheels, from caricaturists to table magic, from candy carts to chocolate fountains and many more besides. Now whilst I’m sure all of these have their place, there is also a danger that these water down the main event and rather than enhance the day actually act as a distraction to it. If you want a packed dance floor you need to focus your guests attention in the room where the music is. If you are offering a range of other activities it will take your guests away from the room where you want to focus your party. Consider how the venue is configured, what additional entertainment you really want and where this is located. Think about where the bar is located compared to the room where the music and dancing takes place. If the bar and entertainment is elsewhere it will mean your guests will gravitate towards it and away from the party. The day is all about two people, it’s about the Bride and Groom, if you want your guests to be on the dance floor, then if that’s where the Bride and Groom can be found, then it will come as no surprise that that's where your guests will be too. As a professional DJ with over 20 years experience I thought I would provide you with a tip of the day to help you get the right DJ for your wedding.
There are lots of DJ's out there and the prices vary significantly. If you believe that all DJ's are the same and that the only difference is the price then let me enlighten you ... this is not true. If you want a quality DJ for your Wedding Day it's unlikely that you will be able to secure their service for the lowest price. DJ's are no different to most things in life, if you want quality it is likely that you will have to pay for it. Don't just employ a DJ on the basis of their price. And don't be fooled by the claims a DJ makes on their marketing materials. I spotted this one recently. A DJ claimed that he was "the number 1 Wedding and Party DJ" and low and behold two weeks later he declared he had done his "First ever party". So be wary. Meet with the DJ first before you book them. Quiz them about their experience, their approach, ask to see feedback from previous customers and find out how their involvement will enhance your wedding day. Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. If you're looking to book a DJ focus on quality and not the lowest price. Choosing a Wedding DJ Top Tip 9 - Ceremony Music As a professional DJ with over 20 years experience I thought it might be helpful if I offered a few tips to help you get the right DJ for your wedding.This is the ninth in my series of bite sized tips which will look carefully at the music you choose for your wedding ceremony.
The wedding ceremony music is normally made up of three distinct parts:
When choosing your music think carefully about songs that carry an appropriate message and importantly are songs that have some significance to you both as a couple. Listen carefully to the songs you select as it is important to remember particularly with the processional and recessional songs that it is extremely unlikely that the whole song will be played. Make sure you are clear on which version of the song you would like as there are often many versions of the same song. The best you might hope for would be around a minute or so of the song. Think about your venue and the time you have and how the music you have chosen fits so the right part of song is played at the right time. Songs with a long introduction before the melody and lyrics kick in might need to be edited so that the right part of the song is played e.g. whilst walking up the aisle. In terms of the recessional song it is likely that you will want this to kick in immediately at the first chorus and again some editing may be required. A professional DJ can cue your songs at the right part in a live environment and ensure the song is played at the right time and even if the DJ isn’t going to be present during the ceremony ask if they can edit the music for you. Finally if you aren't engaging a Professional DJ or musician for your ceremony music double check you have the music in the right format for the venues play out system, make sure you know who is going to press the button to start and stop the music and finally make sure they know their cue.
