Tony Poole Discos Full Description
Tony Poole Discos provide professional, experienced DJs, top quality mobile discos, singers, ambience uplighting, backdrops, dance floors, giant LOVE letters & numbers, and photo booths in Essex, Herts, London and beyond! Our CV is impressive! We have played at some of the South East’s finest venues such as Buckingham Palace, The Ritz, Grosvenor House, The Dorchester, Kew Gardens, Down Hall, Hanbury Manor, Luton Hoo and The Park Lane and Regents Park Hiltons, for the likes of Princes William and Harry, The England Rugby World Cup Squad, The Labour Party, and the Daily Mirror. And we have been on stage with Alexandra O’Neal, The Drifters, Heatwave, Mike Read and Barbra Windsor to name but a few. We have more Google reviews (over 200) than any other similar company in Essex or Herts, something we are very proud of. And that’s probably because, above all else, we keep our finger on the pulse where our clients’ wishes are concerned. It’s your once in a lifetime day and we feel we are here to enhance it. We have a wealth of experience yet still have a passion and enthusiasm for what we do. We are well versed in linking wedding days articulately and as part of our all day service, we normally set up before your guests arrive so they see none of it, control the ceremony music, act as compere making all appropriate announcements throughout the day (including introducing the speeches) and play background music while you eat!! Then, as we are already set up, we are all systems go to launch the party. Let’s face it, this is the part of the day when all the formalities are over and you want everyone to celebrate. The importance of playing the right music cannot be underestimated. People talk for years after about wedding days and sadly “a bad DJ” is often a topic of conversation. So be safe and book us, for the ultimate party experience on your special day!

Tony has a vast wealth of experience when it comes to events and this was invaluable
We booked Tony for our Wedding on the 26th October 2024. He supplies an e-brochure showing multiple DJ set up options plus additional features. We chose to have him for the whole day. This included arranging music for the ceremony (before, during and after). Using all his own equipment, he compered the reception, which included introducing the newly married couple, speeches, cake cutting, first dance and any required announcements. We were both so pleased with Tony and how he carried out his work. As soon as we agreed to have him provide the entertainment for the day, Tony was quick to arrange a follow up meeting (which was carried out via Zoom as we live abroad), where he offered advice and recommended different audio and visual options. We chose the premier set up with ambient uplighting, several starlit backdrops and the white LED dancefloor, the latter really puts the icing on the cake. Tony has a vast wealth of experience when it comes to events and this was invaluable when we were trying to bring things together with the different suppliers. Several weeks before the wedding date, Tony met with us in person, along with the event manager and celebrant to help work out a timeline and offered advice for the layout of the room and how he could make our special day be the best it could be. In the run up to the wedding he was quick to respond to any queries, easy to talk to and on the big day he arrived early to set up his equipment. He was very well organised, good on the microphone and played cracking music all night. A special thank you here, as we gave him a broad spectrum of musical genre's to play and he mixed in and out of these to perfection. We also chose to have a photo booth and it was Tony's recommendation of who to use (Michael Berry). The whole day was a roaring success and only made possible by the good work carried out by all the suppliers of which Tony and his team were and essential part. 5 stars for Tony Poole Discos.

He was flexible in accommodating our requests
Tony was the DJ for our wedding disco. He played from the playlist we had given him and was flexible in accommodating our requests. We and our guests had a great time, thank you Tony.

We couldn’t have asked for more
Thanks so much for everything you did for our wedding, it was wonderful - the assuring communication, DJ set up and dance floor, the music, the atmosphere! People danced more or less for 6 hours straight. We couldn’t have asked for more. Also loved your recommendation of the saxophonist when we enquired, he was amazing. Highly recommend :)

From the first phone call he put us at ease.
Tony was our wedding DJ and we were delighted from start to finish with the service provided. From the first phone call he put us at ease. Other than telling him what type of music we liked and a few specific numbers, we left the music choices down to him. We had a packed dance floor all night, with so many people telling us after the event, what a great DJ he was! The up lighting really made our venue look brilliant, and the Photo Booth was loved by all our guests. Thank you Tony and the team

Tony was our wedding DJ and he was a hoot.
Tony was our wedding DJ and he was a hoot. A pleasure to work with and he is really good at breaking the ice. Tony is very knowledgeable about weddings and talking to him before the day really helped us get our timings in place. He is competitively priced and the packages he offers with lights and the photo booth are really great, both price wise but also in terms of keeping everything together. Our venue is huge and with his up lights it looked brilliant - people outside on the street were stopping to look. He also helped keep us to time, which was really appreciated. The photo booth is BRILLIANT. Guests loved it and when he says there is a huge array of props, there really is, It looked really brilliant. Mick and Elaine are also absolutely lovely. Thank you to the whole team again. Really appreciate everything you have done for us!

Tony went through every little detail with us to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted and we did!
Absolutely brilliant! We booked Tony for our wedding and couldn't thank him enough, we felt reassured and comfortable with him. Tony went through every little detail with us to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted and we did! Honestly would recommend Tony for any celebration, so much so that I've already booked him for my wifes birthday next year. Thank you again Tony

Leading up to the wedding, he was always a step ahead (which was reassuring to us)
We used DJ Tony for our wedding in 2024 and we couldn't have asked for any more. Starting from the booking, Tony phoned us to talk through everything and he phoned the venue we had booked to check what and wasn't available/needed for us and our needs. Leading up to the wedding, he was always a step ahead (which was reassuring to us) and sent us through the contract, the timings etc. On the day DJ Mike was our DJ, he was excellent at reading the room and by the end of the night almost everyone had joined in on the dance floor! And we had the most amazing and memorable day.. We also booked a photo booth through DJ Tony (after a lot of deliberation whether or not to have one) and it was the best decision for our wedding, it was such a hit and everyone commented on how good it was and how friendly the staff were. We can't thank you enough for your service and if we have any big birthday parties coming up needing a DJ, we 100% know who to contact.

I was planning to leave before the disco ended but I couldn't as it was such a good vibe!
We would highly recommend Tony Poole Discos! Tony came to our wedding reception at Mulberry House. We chose the premium setup with additional extras of the backdrop (which was stunning) and uplighters. We loved the countdown to the first dance (and many of the guests commented on this too) and we felt that all the tunes were picked to keep the energy high throughout the night - not an off song in sight. Some people commented that they would usually sit down between songs but they felt they had to keep dancing. As the bride I loved it! I was initially planning to leave before the disco ended but I couldn't as it was such a good vibe! Thank you so much and we will be in touch in the future if we need a DJ for another party!

We highly recommend and will continue to do so when our friends and family get married!
They did an absolutely fantastic job on our wedding day. They listened to us from the moment we contacted him and understood exactly what we wanted. They responded to our messages very quickly. On the day, Tony really knew how to work the crowd with the right music, as well as being a great MC. He created such an amazing atmosphere from start to finish. We highly recommend and will continue to do so when our friends and family get married!

He listened and took note of what kind of music we wanted
We had Tony DJ at our wedding 16/08/24 and it was absolutely fantastic! He listened and took note of what kind of music we wanted and it was so good. Everyone danced all night and we all had the time of our lived. Tony took requests and was very professional. I would highly recommend

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

There have been simply so many, but if you pinned me down, it would have to be one where we played an instrumental version of the chosen first dance and two primary school aged children beautifully sang the lyrics. There was not a dry eye in the house!!!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Professional, perfectionist, calm, understated, feelgood

What about your business are you most proud of?

That we get repeat bookings from clients who first used us 30 years ago

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

Remember it's your day

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

Children singing to the couple

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Very simple. We talk (old fashioned I know!) to make sure couples get exactly what they want, agree a price, I send a reservation form, they email back confirming the booking, then nearer the day they send a musical wish list and then during the week of the wedding a final contact to check on all the arrangements. We are repeatedly told how thorough and prepared we are and how reassured this makes couples feel.

What makes a romantic first dance?

It doesn't have to be romantic. A First Dance is a personal choice for any reason at all

What is your number one floor-filler?

Varies from year to year, audience to audience. But if there was one I had to pick, that has been the most floor filling, it is probably Robin S - Show Me Love

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

The Beatles. They were simply huuuuuuuuuge! And so much of what they did has stood the test of time.

What is the soundtrack to your life?

A question I would rather not answer. The DJ is there for the clients and their guests. A wedding day is not about the DJ, although many in my profession think otherwise!
