What others say
We couldn’t recommend Alistair highly enough. He delivered the perfect soundtrack to our wedding day and night. His track selection was bang on, keeping the energy on the dancefloor from start to finish
Top guy and absolutely superb DJ
Thank you!
The Elsoms - Old Gore Barn
I found Alistair on Instagram, and knew straight away he had to be our DJ at our wedding. Not only did he play all of our favourite, requested songs- he read the dancefloor so well that it was always full! Song after song, you didn’t want to leave the dance floor! We danced so much I felt like I did after I ran the marathon!!
All of our friends and family commented on how amazing the music was and how great it was to be dancing all night long. Every genre was played and kept everyone entertained!
We cannot thank you enough!!!
The Carters - Elmore Court
I’d attended a wedding where Alistair was the DJ and immediately booked him for my own! He has the incredible skill of reading the room to keep the dance floor busy and lively - the music mixing and selection with outstanding and we had so many compliments from our guests on how good he was. The party was the part of the day I was most looking forward to, and he exceeded expectations. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you again, Alistair!

I've worked with Alistair at many weddings (Sax & DJ) and he's the best in the business - so good in fact, we even booked him for our own wedding at Manor by the Lake! Thanks again!
