Helpful, supportive and quick with replying to me
Mark was amazing from start to finish. From the moment I first made contact with Mark he was really helpful, supportive and quick with replying to me. Mark really allowed us to tailor our playlist and took the time to know the style of music we wanted to have at our wedding, working the music accordingly to our guests preferences. Mark is professional but very personable and helpful. We are really glad that we picked Mark for our wedding. Thank you for making our reception so memorable for us an

Mark understood the vibe we were aiming for
Mark was absolutely fantastic from start to finish in being our wedding DJ. Music is so important to us and Mark understood completely the vibe we were aiming for, coming up with great suggestions for our ceremony and helping us settle on our reception and evening music. He was such a lovely person to work with both during the lead up to the big day and when we were there. Our personal highlight was heavy hour when even my dad joined the (almost) mosh pit!

Reads the room perfectly when DJ’ing!
Mark played at our wedding and was absolutely brilliant. He amp’d up the speakers and reads the room perfectly when DJ’ing! Deserves 6 stars!

Mark is an excellent DJ
Mark was very attentive to the type of music we wanted. My wife and I prepared a list of all our favourite songs. Some to be played during the day and some for the evening. By the time we have selected our tracks, there was about 8hrs of playing time!! Mark also coordinated with us with regards to the speeches, the flash mob dance and the band that also played that evening. Mark is and excellent DJ and we would certainly use him again!

He brought great energy and kept the party going
We had Patrick as our DJ for our wedding in Chiddingfold, and he was fantastic! Mark was super responsive and helpful during the planning stage, making everything smooth and stress-free. On the day, Patrick handled all the music—from the ceremony to the dance floor—and made it magical. He brought great energy and kept the party going all night. Both were professional, warm, and a joy to work with.

We couldn’t have asked for more
Mark DJ’d for our wedding and we couldn’t have asked for more. He was setup promptly and kept the floor going all night. He was easy with requests and even took photos of the venue and sent them through which went above and beyond what we expected. 100% would book again!

Would 100% recommend him for any wedding.
Mark is a brilliant DJ and a very lovely guy. He was so friendly and clear to deal with, and put together a great set from our long list of requests which kept people on the dancefloor for the entire night! Would 100% recommend him for any wedding.

Mark was absolutely incredible at our wedding
Mark was an absolutely incredible addition to our wedding and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. He was so easy to work with, was so accommodating and even managed a major last minute timing change from us with ease and grace! The music was fantastic, exactly what we wanted and Mark definitely brought the vibes!! We couldn’t have asked for anything better and we couldn’t recommend Mark more highly. If you’re looking for a DJ for any occasion then email Mark ASAP!!

We had the best evening of our lives
Mark’s ability to keep a dance floor full all night is a skill, he did a fantastic job of reading the room, the vibe and the party atmosphere was so good! We had the best evening of our lives and Mark played a huge role in helping that happen! Highly recommend him, not only did he create that magical party atmosphere but recorded all our speeches through the sound system which was an amazing extra and took some beautiful day shots of our venue! Above and beyond! Thanks Mark ❤️

Accomodating, friendly and responsive
We hired Mark to do our wedding in September and we were thrilled by his ability to take every song we wanted to hear and play it. İt was very important to us to have our own music as we have a very different taste and needed someone to be able to play our music. Mark not only did this, but he even managed to perfectly mix every track together. We also had some traditional Turkish songs that needed to be played for my wife's side and he managed to play all of these with no issues. He helped make our day so special, would definitely recommend.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Every wedding is memorable for different reasons, because each couple is different. And I can't choose a favourite moment because there are so many times I've witnessed love, joy and pure energy on the dance floor.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Musical, smooth mixing, zero-banter & energetic.

What about your business are you most proud of?

Building a business that finds our ideal clients, who are looking for input into the music, smooth song transitions and energy on the dance floor.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Find suppliers that you get along with and will do what you ask them to do. This is particularly important with a DJ. Some clients ask us to make the musical decisions, some take control of the whole playlist. It really is your decision. And with a DJ find out whether they focus on the music or being an 'entertainer' playing games and talking over the music. It's all about personal preference.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Tables named after the couple's favourite bands.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Please send us a message on Bridebook and Mark will respond with a tailored price based on your plans. If you need more information to make a decision, we can have a chat on the phone, WhatsApp or arrange a video call to talk things through.

Once booked, we confirm everything with a contract. From there, you can build your music using Spotify or our online request system, whether that’s a few key tracks or a full list.

We take time to understand the meaning behind certain songs — from stag and hen favourites to family anthems that bring everyone together on the dancefloor.

Final song lists are reviewed around a month before the wedding so everything is locked in, and we’re fully prepared well in advance. On the day, we arrive early to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Then it’s all about reading the room, smooth transitions, and keeping the dancefloor moving all night.

What makes a romantic first dance?

A song that has special significance to you both. But it doesn't have to be romantic. And you don't have to have a first dance. Some couples opt for a group photo to gather everyone together on the dance floor. Then start the dancing with a banger! To keep the flow of the event, it works really well to cut your cake then go straight into your first dance.

What is your number one floor-filler?

I genuinely don't have a number one floor filler. It's all about choosing songs that will work for you and your guests. As a DJ you can steer a dance floor in a certain direction, but it won't automatically be towards The YMCA, Macarena & Saturday Night, unless they are on your request list.

Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?

Toots & The Maytals. If you've not heard it, take a listen to 54 46, it's such a happy sound!

What is the soundtrack to your life?

Eclectic! My personal tastes range from garage to reggae, drum and bass, hip hop, house, rock and pop. I also love listening to mashups and you might hear one or two in my set.
