Dean John - Professional DJ & Event Manager

Words cannot describe how outstanding Dean is, I have spent so much time thinking about how to word this review to best capture how wonderful he is, but I know no written review can do him justice. We booked Dean as our DJ and host for our wedding at Clock Barn last week - 10.04.24. As we are both quite introverted, and wanted our families to be able to enjoy the day without stressing, we went for his full package. Dean quite literally took every stress out of the day. He hands down made the day the huge success it was. Greeting guests, calming our nerves, sorting our timings, organising photos and much much more. I was so nervous before getting married but as soon as Dean arrived early at 10am, I knew it would be a great day. There is so much planning that goes into a wedding and Dean really did sort out everything last detail- even down to the microphones for speeches! Dean really did think of everything, including walking mother of the groom down the aisle and to her seat so she also had her big moment! One particular highlight of our day was Dean’s pre-desert quiz, which was absolutely hilarious. Dean knew exactly who could take a joke, and sent us all into fits of giggles with his one liners- have you been a stand up comic in a previous life?! My favourite was telling our lovely 11 year old friend that he was still “ on the milkshakes “ 🥤 I’ve seen the little boy since, and he is still absolutely raving about his big moment and told me how funny he thought you were! Dean really listened to what we wanted for our big day, right down to music choices. We had an amazing mix of old school classics mixed with 2000’s cheese and even my request of Combine Harvester (I am a Bristolian girl at heart)! Dean, I have to apologise for the long-winded, rambling review but I really want to shout about how brilliant you are. You really, really made it an effortless day for us and I really hope anyone reading this decides to book with Dean as I know he will do the same for many more couples in the future. All of our guests keep telling us how brilliant you are and we completely agree. P.S, already planning the 10 year vowel renewal. Same time 2034?

Thank you Dean for your amazing DJ services at our Wedding reception. You were amazing! The dance floor was buzzing from the moment you started thanks to a brilliant variety of music. You helped us party the night away and we are so thankful to you :) I would highly recommend Dean, a pleasure to deal with and a brilliant, very proffesional DJ xx

Absolute legend! Everyone had a ball and said it was the most fun they'd ever had at a wedding and this was partly due to Dean's fun games, good banter and excellent party tunes. Not once was the dance floor empty and he planned an excellent range of both indian and western music to suit our bi-cultural wedding, ensuring everyone had a turn the dancefloor. Not only was he a superb DJ, he also was an excellent master of ceremonies, always thinking one step ahead and always on hand to help out with any issues, as they happened on the day. We booked him for our whole event, which I would definitely recommend and he offers a very fair price for his services. The whole day is it not that much more but is so worth it, particularly for a winter wedding like ours. A top guy and a great DJ. Cannot recommend enough!

We had the pleasure of having Dean host and DJ our wedding yesterday band he was absolutely fab! He was professional helpful, friendly and approachable we had so many comments saying how great he was! The advice cards and Mr & Mrs game were great fun too and added that extra something to make it all so much more special. He also deserves a medal for putting up with our very drunk brother in law!! 😂😂 thanks again Dean you were brilliant!

We booked Dean for our wedding at the weekend and he was phenomenal! We have had SO many guests come up to us to comment on how incredible he was, and we really cannot recommend him enough. From the very beginning, Dean was fantastic: he reassured us when we'd been let down by another vendor; he answered all of our millions of questions; he made helpful suggestions to make the running of the day smoother; and he met with us close to the wedding to finalise everything and find out a bit about our VIPs on the day so that they felt special and included (such a nice touch! My MoH was so impressed that he knew who she was!). On the day, Dean looked after my Groom and checked he was all set, then greeted me when I arrived too. Whilst I was with the registrar and my bridesmaids were fussing, he ferried my Mum away from it all and into the ceremony room, making sure she was calm and looked after! He was so incredibly thoughtful - it made all of us feel so cared for and special. One of the things we noticed was that there was no detail too small for Dean to pick up on - he noticed everything and made sure it was perfect: after the ceremony he made sure we had a bit of time to ourselves and we had a glass of champagne to privately toast with before greeting our guests; he had a fantastic rapport with all of our guests and worked fantastically with our photographers, Sam and Simon Photography - our guests though they were a team, but it was the first time they'd worked together! The games Dean organised were so much fun, and the guests LOVED them! The tie breaker for the quiz was hilarious, and we're still having guests tell us how brilliant they thought he was. The music he played was fabulous and the guests loved it (we just wish it hadn't been such a warm day as we wanted to dance more!), but he was fab at getting people up to dance, and at the end of the night checked in with us before playing the final song so we could get everyone up to dance one last time. Thank you so much for everything you did to make our day special - we could honestly rave about you all day and really cannot say thank you enough! To anyone looking for a DJ and MC - this is your guy!

We booked Dean as an all day host and DJ for our wedding on 14.06.19, and it was easily one of the best decisions we made for our day. Dean had a massive impact on making sure the day ran smoothly and went above and beyond his services. Not only is Dean very professional, he is so friendly and approachable that he almost becomes like one of your guests. The games, pearl of wisdom cards and the great choice of music is what makes Dean's services original and the bits your guests always remember. We can't thank you enough for being a huge part of making our day so special! From Mr & Mrs Trodd

We got married on 22nd June 2019 and Dean was a brilliant DJ. He is very friendly, he asked about our likes and dislikes in a pre wedding call and on the day was great at picking the right songs to get everyone up and dancing. We would highly recommend him to anyone.

We booked Dean as our wedding DJ to play music throughout the day, as it turned out, the day simply would not have been as perfect as it was without him! From the start he was brilliant, he came around our house a few weeks before the wedding to get an idea of how everything would work on the day, who the other suppliers were, what songs we’d want played at certain times etc, and it immediately instilled a massive amount of confidence from our side that we had chosen the right man for the job! He is way more than a DJ!! He totally ran the show from word go!! He kept everything running on time, despite the ceremony starting late and some speeches going on longer than expected! He was brilliant with the guests and worked really well with all of the other suppliers on the day to make sure everything went as well as it did! And he made everyone feel really welcome and kept everyone buzzing throughout the day! And as the evening hit, he played exactly the genre of music that got everyone going!!! Put simply, our wedding would not have been anywhere near as good as it was if it wasn’t for Dean!! He was an absolute hero on the day.. I literally could not recommend him any more!! Thank you Dean!! You made the day for us and our guests! X

Dean was the perfect host and DJ for our wedding! He helped to keep things running smoothly and was a gentleman. He listened to our requests and made our day the best we could have asked for. Would highly recommend Dean, he was great!

Dean is literally a wedding day god! We booked him for the all day package and he really didn’t disappoint us or any of our guests. From the moment he stepped foot into my wedding to set up he was friendly, helpful and a complete diamond. From the music to the games and jokes he made sure everyone was having fun, the day was running smoothly and hassle free. Couldn’t have asked for anything more! Would recommend him 100%! 👏🏼
