Londonweddingdisco.co.ukwww.londonweddingdisco.co.uk
We like Weddings. We like Weddings so much that we prefer to do wedding discos than any other type of disco.

Weddings are difficult things to plan, and that is why we make the whole process as painless as possible. Your the boss- you can choose as much or as little of the music as you want. If you want you can arrange to meet up with us before the Wedding, or receive references from past customers. We'll liase direct with the venue so you don't have to. When you book us, we turn up on the day- we don't pass the work on to other disco's. Music too loud? We'll turn it down. Music too quiet? We'll turn it up. Music just right? We'll leave it like that. Want to do your first dance last? Or in the middle? That's fine too. We don't talk over the records. We don't think we should be DJ'ing on commercial radio but haven't been discovered yet.
It all sounds simple enough, but it's amazing how many Disco's get it so wrong. We just play records. But we play good ones.
If you are planning a Wedding why not give us a call to ask us some of those questions you've been too scared to ask. Even if you decide not to book us, we can hopefully help you choose wisely. 07961 346313.
