What most couples who are planning a wedding don’t know is that saving money by hiring an amateur DJ for your wedding comes with a high price tag.  Before you make a decision you regret, here are some things you definitely need to know. 1. There’s a high probability that a cheap (or free) DJ won’t be in business by the time your wedding arrives. Many low-priced DJs aren’t charging enough to support their own businesses for the long term; you’re just financing their hobby.  Meanwhile, your wedding is 6-12 months away or more. We’ve received those calls from desperate couples who had ..read more

Experience is KEY and when it comes to choosing your wedding entertainment you will want to choose a DJ with experience in bundles! This is because, a good wedding DJ is more than someone who plays music and works equipment. A good wedding DJ can, amongst other things, be a master of ceremonies, an entertainer and the host of your party. You and your guests will look to your DJ to organise and direct the flow of your evening, and often the entire day. If, for instance, you are using a DJ throughout your wedding day to make announcements and introduce speeches or other key moments then he s ..read more

A day to remember! Congratulations to our NHS wedding winners Tia & Joel! Winners of our NHS wedding competition, Tia & Joel, celebrated their dream wedding on April 6th 2022 at the stunning Chippenham Park.

Having had to postpone their wedding once because of COVID-19, Tia & Joel finally got to celebrate their special day with family and friends…. and what a day it was! Wedding Party Events were honoured ..read more

When World Kindness Day is observed on Saturday 13th November 2021, it will be a reminder for all of us to reflect on our acts towards others. Kindness is a fundamental part of being human. A simple gesture that bridges the divides of race, religion, politics, gender and location. A hug, a warm smile, a pat on the back to say “well done” or, at it’s most basic but sometimes most effective, a “please” or “thank you” when giving or receiving. Make it your goal to perform a random act of kindness today. It doesn’t matter what form it takes or to whom you bestow your kindness upon. Maybe your p ..read more

Hi, I’m Kevin, head DJ at Suffolk based, Wedding Party Events… but why would you entrust me with one of the most important parts of your wedding day? My story began back in 1988. At school and needing some pocket money I wasn’t really interested in a paper-round. I asked a DJ from a local mobile disco if I could ‘roadie’ for them and the rest is history. I started lugging the speakers and heavy vinyl around but quickly became involved in lighting design and animation, all the time building my music knowledge and understanding of how to fill the dance floor. DJing was a natural progression a ..read more

Stephanie & Jonathan were married at the stunning & contemporary Swynford Manor on the Suffolk and Cambridgeshire border. They asked me to provide Disco & DJ, one of my sparkly white DJ booths, pink uplighting to bring the blank canvas of the Garden Room to life and a Mr & Mrs Game to ‘break the ice’ and to get the party started. This is a lovely look back to happier times before COVID-19 locked the world down and before social distancing was even a thing. With the help of their amazing guests as well as Stephanie & Jonathan’s relaxed outlook, an amazing party was had by ..read more

I realise that this is proving to be an extremely stressful time for couples planning a wedding and it is important that I provide clarity to my customers on my policy regarding the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) situation.

During this time, please be assured that my booking terms allow my current, and future, valued customers to reschedule their entertainment to an alternative available date with no penalty ..read more

UPDATE: Our competition is now closed and this post is here for archive only. Here’s a NHS Wedding Competition to say a big thank you! The last few weeks have been incredibly humbling. Key workers across the country have stepped up to keep our country running. The frontline workers of the NHS have been doing, and continue to do, an incredible job by keeping us protected from the harm that COVID-19 (Coronavirus) brings. Every day they go to work, knowing that they are likely to come into contact with the virus and put their own lives at risk. Each week the country stands in appreciation of the ..read more

Hey… I’m Paul and I’m really grateful that you’ve found our wedding DJ page. As the owner of Wedding Party Events, I know a thing or two about weddings. But how did I get here and where did it all start? If you’re considering hiring Wedding Party Events at your own wedding celebrations, I think it’s only fair that you get to know a little bit more about me… 1985… I was just out of school and I loved a party. It was this love of a party that drove me to create my own events. Using my then limited collection of vinyl, I hired some spaces, played some music and invited lots of friends! The DJ ..read more
