WEDDING DJ GOODENOUGH COLLEGE, RUSSELL SQUARE

GOODENOUGH COLLEGE WEDDING DJ, RUSSELL SQUARE

Nat & Tom's Goodenough College Wedding - August 2025

Nestled in the heart of Russell Square, Goodenough College is hands down one of London’s most underrated and under booked wedding venues. Don’t be fooled by the academic name – this place isn’t just “good enough,” (sorry) it’s great. The venue combines historic architecture with leafy gardens, old-school charm with modern polish. It’s like getting married inside a Richard Curtis film set, but with a killer sound system (this is where we come in).

We were absolutely buzzing to be added to the suppliers list at Goodenough College, and even more so when Nat & Tom got in touch. These two brought pure energy to their day – a Romanian-American combo who knew exactly how they wanted their night to go: zero airs and graces, maximum party.

From the second the dancefloor opened, it was carnage – in the best possible way. Bride and groom planted themselves on the dancefloor and didn’t move for hours. No disappearing for cig breaks, no long catch-ups with Auntie Margaret in the corner – they were locked in and absolutely living it.

This was the kind of wedding where you feel like you’ve been transported straight into a (an albeit very opulent) festival tent – sweaty, euphoric, and with bangers flying in thick and fast.

Music Highlights

The musical brief was clear: fun, high-energy, and with a strong tilt toward Europop and Romanian hits to keep the bride’s side of the family in the zone. Think O-Zone’s ‘Dragostea Din Tei’, Akcent, and a healthy sprinkle of Euroclub anthems. The American side brought the big singalongs – from Bon Jovi and Backstreet Boys to Beyoncé and Queen.

These guys didn’t just want a playlist – they wanted a full experience. It was high-energy chaos from first song to last.

First dance: Elvis Presley – Can’t Help Falling In Love
Last song of the night: Whitney Houston – I Wanna Dance With Somebody

You love to see it.

Big Tunes That Absolutely Went Off

  • Gimme Gimme Gimme – ABBA

  • Dragostea Din Tei – O-Zone

  • Party Rock Anthem – LMFAO

  • Cake by the Ocean – DNCE

  • It’s Raining Men – The Weather Girls

  • Don’t Stop Me Now – Queen

  • Raise Your Glass – P!nk

Curveballs That Worked

  • All The Things She Said – t.A.T.u.

  • Gasca Mea – Hi-Q

  • In Lipsa Mea – Smiley, Uzzi

  • Fireball – Pitbull feat. John Ryan

  • You Spin Me Round – Dead or Alive

The Setup

For this one, we went with the full daytime package: wireless mics for speeches, uplighters to warm the space, subs to bring the low-end, and a few extra moving heads to elevate the look as the sun went down. Goodenough College is a classy space, but once you add in the light show and serious volume, it morphs into a proper party spot.

Why We Loved This One

It’s easy to say “amazing couple, amazing night” – but this genuinely was. Nat & Tom’s commitment to making their wedding a full-throttle party was infectious. There’s a special kind of magic when the couple lead from the front, and their energy completely set the tone for the entire room. Everyone followed their lead, and the result was one of the most fun nights of the summer.

Also – serious props for the international blend of music. So many couples are scared to lean into music that isn't on every 'wedding classics' list, but this just proved that bold choices + confident vibes = huge dancefloor fun.

WEDDING DJ AT THE ELGIN, MAIDA VALE

wedding reception with high-energy DJ set by RedLine DJs

THE ELGIN WEDDING DJ, MAIDA VALE

WEDDING DJ THE ELGIN, MAIDA VALE – LUKE & DANIEL

The Elgin in Maida Vale is one of those rare wedding venues that nails the sweet spot between pub charm and all-out party potential. It’s cosy, unpretentious, and perfectly set up for weddings that are high-energy, music-focused and absolutely overflowing with good vibes. Luke & Daniel took full advantage – shutting down the entire place for their big day and throwing a wedding that felt like a sweaty, joyous, 100-person house party (with infinitely better tunes).

First Dance, Last Dance & All the Chaos In Between

The night kicked off with Natalie Cole’s soul classic This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) – a pitch-perfect first dance for a summer wedding that didn’t take itself too seriously. From there, it was 3+ hours of non-stop dancefloor energy, fuelled by a wildly eclectic setlist that swung from ABBA to Arctic Monkeys to Missy Elliott to My Chemical Romance – and somehow made total sense the whole way through.

Even though this was a DJ-only booking using The Elgin’s in-house system, the energy in the room did all the work. You could feel the party spilling out into the street – in fact, security had their work cut out turning away the waves of locals drawn in by the sound of 80 people singing American Pie at full volume come midnight.

Big Tunes That Worked:

  • Murder on the Dancefloor – Sophie Ellis-Bextor

  • Kids – MGMT

  • Superstylin’ – Groove Armada

  • Common People – Pulp

  • This Girl – Kungs

  • Give Me the Night – George Benson

  • Milkshake – Kelis

Unexpected Bangers:

  • Kill Dem – Jamie xx

  • Filthy / Gorgeous – Scissor Sisters

  • I’m Not Okay (I Promise) – My Chemical Romance

  • Gimme More – Britney Spears

  • Get Ur Freak On – Missy Elliott

  • Heard It All Before – Sunshine Anderson (curveball that landed hard)

This was one of those weddings where the setlist just kept giving. No overplayed cheese, no momentum dips – just big moments and bigger reactions all night long. When American Pie finally dropped as the last song, the entire pub was belting it out like their lives depended on it.

WEDDING DJ AT THE LORDSHIP PUB, EAST DULWICH

bride and groom dance at the lordship in east dulwich

THE LORDSHIP PUB WEDDING DJ, DULWICH

Wedding DJ at The Lordship, East Dulwich – Alex & Iona

There’s something special about a pub wedding, especially when the couple takes over the whole place and turns it into one big chaotic, joyous mess. That’s exactly what happened at Alex & Iona’s wedding at The Lordship in East Dulwich – a total riot from start to finish in the best possible way.

The Lordship – A Local Gem in East Dulwich

If you don’t know The Lordship, it’s a cracking little pub tucked away in SE22. Think stripped-back interiors, great food, a properly stocked bar, and a team who actually give a damn. It’s the kind of venue that doesn’t need dressing up – it’s already full of character – and it was the perfect backdrop for Alex & Iona’s effortlessly cool summer wedding.

This was our first time at the venue but we would play here again in a heartbeat. Great team, great flow, and the kind of vibe that encourages people to let loose.

A Fred Again First Dance and a Wild Finish

Alex & Iona kicked things off with ‘Adore U’ by Fred Again – a brilliant choice for a first dance that set the tone perfectly. Romantic, modern, emotional, and not at all cheesy. That same tone ran through the night: no filler, no tired wedding tropes – just a packed dancefloor, genre-hopping mayhem, and an energy that didn’t drop once.

They wrapped it all up with ‘You Got The Love’ by Florence + The Machine – an emotional, euphoric closer that had the whole place bouncing.

Packed Floor, Chaotic Energy, and a Proper East London Crowd

This was one of those nights where the set just kept levelling up – every tune hit. The playlist was a whirlwind of eras and styles that somehow made perfect sense together. The crowd was up for anything, and DJ Edamame kept the energy moving with some inspired programming and fearless transitions.

Big Tunes That Worked

  • Adore U – Fred Again

  • Groove Is in the Heart – Deee-Lite

  • Murder on the Dancefloor – Sophie Ellis-Bextor

  • This Girl – Kungs Vs Cookin’ On 3 Burners

  • We Are Your Friends – Justice Vs Simian

Unexpected Bangers

  • In For The Kill (Skream’s Let’s Get Ravey Remix) – La Roux

  • Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) – Yeah Yeah Yeahs

  • The Kids Aren’t Alright – The Offspring

  • Fucking Wizardry – Self Esteem

The Setup

With limited space to work with, we rolled in our compact black DJ booth, moving head lighting, wireless uplighters, and still managed to squeeze in enough gear to make the dancefloor pop. It’s a small space, but with the right lighting and a packed crowd, the atmosphere was unbeatable.

WEDDING DJ AT TOKLAS RESTAURANT, TEMPLE - LONDON

WEDDING DJ TOKLAS RESTAURANT, TEMPLE - LONDON

Wedding DJ for Toklas Restaurant – Laurence & Josh’s High-Energy Set in Central London

Toklas Restaurant isn’t your typical wedding venue – and that’s exactly what makes it brilliant. Tucked away just behind the Strand in the heart of London’s Temple district, it’s a small, modern Mediterranean spot with incredible food and a stripped-back, stylish vibe that feels effortlessly cool.

Laurence and Josh’s wedding matched that energy perfectly. They kept things short and sharp – this wasn’t a long drawn-out affair – but they absolutely made the most of every second. When it came to the dancefloor, they cranked things up from the first beat and didn’t let off until the final track faded out.

A Funky, Feel-Good First Dance

The first dance set the tone in the best possible way: “(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher” by Jackie Wilson – all feel-good energy, beaming smiles, and immediate crowd engagement. No slow sway, no awkward shuffling – just straight into the good stuff.

Short Set, Big Energy

We didn’t have hours to play with, but what we had was gold. From disco and camp pop classics to Springsteen, Sugababes and some killer 80s selections, it was wall-to-wall bangers. Laurence and his family are massive fans of The Specials, so we closed the night on “Enjoy Yourself” – a niche pick, but absolutely the right call. A huge skank-along moment that felt totally personal.

Josh, originally from the States, brought some transatlantic flavour too – Billy Joel and Springsteen worked a treat alongside the disco and pop-heavy core. It was a brilliant blend, totally reflective of both grooms.

Big Tunes That Landed:

  • “D.I.S.C.O” – Ottawan

  • “The Promise” – Girls Aloud

  • “Buffalo Stance” – Neneh Cherry

  • “Work (Freemasons Edit)” – Kelly Rowland

  • “A Little Respect” – Erasure

Unexpected Bangers:

  • “Dark Lady” – Cher

  • “Nelson Mandela” – The Specials

  • “Heartbreak (Make Me a Dancer)” – Freemasons ft. Sophie Ellis-Bextor

  • “Do It Do It Again” – Raffaella Carrà

  • “Love & Pride” – King

Lighting & Setup

This wasn’t a huge room, but we gave it the full party feel. We rolled in with the black DJ booth, upgraded moving heads, wireless uplighting, mirror ball and subs – a perfect, punchy lighting rig that made the compact dancefloor feel like a full-on club.

Thanks so much to Josh and Laurence for having along for the ride!

WEDDING DJ AT FRIZZANTE, HACKNEY CITY FARM

Frizzante interior transformed into evening party space for East London wedding

WEDDING DJ FRIZZANTE, HACKNEY

Wedding DJ at Frizzante, Hackney City Farm - Alice & Ruari

Weddings don’t get more Hackney than this. A working city farm in the heart of East London, a musically obsessed couple, and a packed-out dancefloor that stayed full right until the very last beat. Alice & Ruari’s wedding at Frizzante at Hackney City Farm was a proper East London party – full of love, energy and one of the best soundtracks of the summer.

The Venue: Frizzante at Hackney City Farm

Nestled in the middle of Hackney, Frizzante is the kind of venue that feels hidden in plain sight. You’ve got real farm animals, rustic indoor spaces, and a laid-back vibe that somehow still delivers on charm and atmosphere. For couples who want something quirky and totally unpretentious but still absolutely unforgettable, this place delivers.

We were recently added to the PSL (preferred suppliers list) here, and if this night was anything to go by, we can’t wait to be back. The team were chilled but super professional, and the space transformed beautifully from a rustic dining setup to full-blown dancefloor.

The First Dance

Kicking things off was Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire” – low-key, moody, and totally unexpected. It was stripped-back and intimate, a perfect reflection of Alice & Ruari’s style – romantic, but without the soppiness.

From there, we turned things up fast, and didn’t let up all night.

A Genre-Hopping, Floor-Filling Set

This was a musically adventurous wedding, and the couple were 100% here for it. The brief was clear: no cheese, no filler, but plenty of variety. And crucially – keep the floor packed from start to finish.

Mission accomplished.

There were disco classics (think Tina Charles and Sylvester), indie favourites (Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes), full-on party bangers (Groovejet, Uptown Funk), and a few leftfield moments that absolutely slapped – “Jesus Walks” by Kanye West being one of them.

Also, not one but two plays of “I’m Your Man” by Wham!, thanks to the presence of a very special guest – Andrew Ridgeley himself. No pressure then.

Lighting, Production & Vibes

For this one we rolled out:

  • Black DJ booth

  • Full wireless uplighter package

  • Moving head lighting

  • Haze machine

  • Massive mirrorball to top it all off

A dedicated lighting tech was on hand throughout the night to work the lights live with the music – meaning every drop, every chorus, every peak hit harder.

The result? A dancefloor that felt like a private club set – immersive, atmospheric, and designed to keep people moving all night long.

Big Tunes That Worked

  • “You Should Be Dancing” – Bee Gees

  • “Spillways” – Ghost

  • “Absolutely Everybody” – Vanessa Amorosi

  • “Common People” – Pulp

  • “Thunder Road” – Bruce Springsteen

Curveballs That Worked

  • “Jesus Walks” – Kanye West

  • “Danza Kuduro” – Don Omar

  • “Conga” – Gloria Estefan

  • “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” – My Chemical Romance

Last Song of the Night

There’s only one way to close out a night like this – and Cher’s “Believe” absolutely delivered. Euphoric, emotional, and everyone – everyone – belting out every word.

BROCKWELL HALL WEDDING DJ, BROCKWELL PARK

RedLine DJs lighting rig at Brockwell Hall wedding in South London

WEDDING DJ BROCKWELL HALL, BROCKWELL PARK

Brockwell Hall Wedding DJ – Andy & Amy’s Summer Blowout in South London

First Dance: Loud Places – Jamie xx, Romy
Last Song of the Night: Live Forever – Oasis
DJ: Jon
Lighting Package: Flown mirrorball, moving heads, uplighters, dedicated lighting tech.

Brockwell Hall is one of South London’s most talked-about new wedding venues—and it’s easy to see why. Tucked away inside Brockwell Park, just a short stroll from Herne Hill and Brixton, the newly renovated venue is a stunning glass-fronted space that manages to feel both modern and romantic, with panoramic views of the surrounding greenery and skyline. We’re proud to be on the suppliers list here and were buzzing to play our first official wedding at the venue for Andy & Amy in August 2025.

The couple brought an incredible crowd—full of energy, up for a proper party, and totally game from the first track to the last. With a groom from Stoke (more on that shortly), a perfect summer evening, and a seriously stylish couple who wanted a massive party, this one went off.

The Music: A Packed Floor from the Jump

We kicked things off with a dream of a first dance—Loud Places by Jamie xx & Romy. Atmospheric, heartfelt, and surprisingly danceable, it set the tone perfectly. From there, it was all systems go. A blend of modern disco, 90s indie-dance crossovers, and euphoric classics kept the floor filled from start to finish.

The crowd was up for everything. Think Donna Summer into ABBA into Hot Chip. Think Kylie into Gipsy Kings into Peggy Gou. And yes, Stoke was very well represented—Robbie got multiple outings (including Feel and Angels, obviously).

We also saw the indie kids come alive late in the night with a closing run that included This Must Be the Place and Live Forever, bringing it all home with a proper arms-round-your-mates finish.

Big Tunes That Hit

  • Music Sounds Better With You – Stardust

  • Praise You – Fatboy Slim

  • Dancing on My Own – Robyn

  • Gimme Gimme Gimme – ABBA

  • Push the Button – Sugababes

Curveballs That Worked

  • Rasputin – Boney M

  • Superstylin’ – Groove Armada

  • Romeo – Basement Jaxx

  • Keep the Fire Burning – Gwen McCrae (Joey Negro mix)

Lighting That Took It Up a Gear

Andy & Amy went big on production—and it paid off. Andy & Amy went for a Full Send lighting package, complete with a flown mirrorball, full uplighter wash, 6 moving heads, and a dedicated lighting tech running DMX-controlled scenes all night. The result? A visually stunning setup that elevated the dancefloor experience from good to unforgettable.

The mirrorball looked incredible in that space—sparkles everywhere, bouncing off the glass walls and ceiling like some kind of disco greenhouse. It was easily one of the most visually spectacular weddings we’ve done all year.

THE IN & OUT (NAVAL AND MILITARY CLUB) WEDDING DJ

WEDDING DJ THE IN & OUT (NAVAL AND MILITARY CLUB)

Jack & Amy’s Wedding at The In & Out (Naval and Military Club), London

Tucked away behind grand gates on St James’s Square, The In & Out (Naval and Military Club) is the kind of venue that makes you stop in your tracks. A proper hidden gem in the middle of central London, with its opulent staircase, sweeping courtyard and old-school charm — this place oozes character. It’s not your typical wedding venue, and that’s exactly what made it perfect for Jack & Amy, who threw one of the most full-throttle parties we’ve seen all year.

The crowd came to move. Within seconds of the first dance — a synth-soaked, emotional-but-cool classic in ‘Always On My Mind’ by Pet Shop Boys — the energy was already on a high. No slow build here. Jack & Amy wanted it to feel like a night out with all their favourite people in a ridiculously beautiful setting, and that’s exactly what it was.

From the first track to the last (‘Angels’ by Robbie Williams, obviously shouted with full chest by every single person in the room), this one did not let up. It was hot, sweaty, euphoric — and the couple absolutely loved it.

A Few Big Tunes That Absolutely Went Off:

  • ‘September’ – Earth, Wind & Fire

  • ‘One More Time’ – Daft Punk

  • ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’ – AC/DC

  • ‘Levels’ – Avicii

  • ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ – Whitney Houston

  • ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ – Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Unexpected Bangers That Landed Hard:

  • ‘Genesis’ – Justice (filthy electro intro, massive response)

  • ‘Right Round’ – Flo Rida (chaotic, fun, unhinged)

  • ‘Thunderstruck’ – AC/DC (all about that intro)

  • ‘Freedom! ’90’ – George Michael (everyone knew every word)

  • ‘I Follow Rivers (The Magician Remix)’ – Lykke Li (euphoric!)

First Dance:

  • ‘Always On My Mind’ – Pet Shop Boys

Last Song of the Night:

  • ‘Angels’ – Robbie Williams

We absolutely loved this one. Jack & Amy were buzzing from start to finish, the crowd was all-in, and The In & Out delivered one of the most unique, classy-but-unpretentious vibes we’ve played all year.

Already planning your London wedding and want a DJ set that’s totally bespoke, properly high-quality, and tailored to you? You’re in the right place.

WEDDING DJ Smiths of Smithfield, farringdon

John & Chantal’s Disco-Soaked Farringdon Party

When the brief is “45 minutes of cool disco to start things off, then bring the heat” – we already know it’s going to be a good night. And that’s exactly what unfolded at John & Chantal’s wedding at Smiths of Smithfield, a brilliant modern venue in the heart of Farringdon that somehow manages to combine slick urban design with a warm, welcoming feel – ideal for weddings that want a bit of edge and a lot of fun.

The couple brought serious energy. The dancefloor? Packed from the first track to the very last. And with a German contingent of friends and family in the house, you just know there were going to be some Euro bangers involved. This one was an absolute riot from start to finish.

Venue vibes

Smiths of Smithfield is a venue we love for its versatility – city wedding couples get the benefit of a cool, contemporary space right in the heart of London, without sacrificing atmosphere. High ceilings, industrial finishes, huge windows, great food, and – most importantly – a killer layout for partying. Add the right lighting and you’re halfway to a warehouse rave.

First Dance? Straight soul.

John & Chantal kicked things off in timeless style with Etta James – At Last. It’s always a crowd pleaser, and it gave everyone that breath-catching, just-married moment of magic before things took a hard left turn… straight into The Blues Brothers – Everybody Needs Somebody to Love, and from there, it was game on.

Playlist breakdown

The first part of the evening was heavy on disco – Voulez-Vous, September, Hot Stuff, Hung Up, About Damn Time (Purple Disco Machine Remix) and Stand on the Word (Dimitri from Paris remix) all landed perfectly. Smooth, cool, funky – it gave everyone the perfect warm-up to ease into what became one of the most eclectic and rowdy wedding sets we’ve played all year.

Big highlight? Julian Sommer – Dicht im Flieger, which sent the German crew into complete meltdown. Absolute scenes. One of those "you had to be there" moments. This was followed up by some proper Euro dance bombs – Scooter – Nessaja, Dragostea Din Tei, Sandstorm, and even The Vengaboys – We Like to Party!. No shame. All fire.

And of course, we snuck in a few indie singalongs later in the night (Teenage Dirtbag, All the Small Things, Mr Brightside) before wrapping the whole thing up with a gorgeous final slow dance to Yazoo – Only You.

Big Tunes That Worked

  • Rasputin – Majestic, Boney M

  • Hot Stuff – Donna Summer x Kygo

  • Oops I Did It Again – Britney Spears

  • Gasolina – Daddy Yankee

  • Hung Up – Madonna

  • Blinding Lights – The Weeknd

Curveballs That Worked

  • Daõi Freyr – Think About Things

  • Joubert Singers – Stand on the Word (Dimitri from Paris Remix)

  • Gigi D’Agostino – L’Amour Toujours

  • What Is Love – Haddaway

  • Julian Sommer – Dicht im Flieger (can’t say it enough – highlight of the night)

First Dance:

At Last – Etta James

Last Song of the Night:

Only You – Yazoo

Final Word

Some weddings are about the speeches. Some about the food. But this one? It was all about the dancefloor. John & Chantal absolutely nailed the brief and trusted us to deliver a set that reflected them and their crowd – which is exactly what we specialise in.

GREENWICH YACHT CLUB WEDDING DJ

WEDDING DJ GREENWICH YACHT CLUB

Rocking the Yacht: Rachel & Joey’s Wedding at Greenwich Yacht Club

We had an unforgettable night DJing Rachel and Joey’s wedding at Greenwich Yacht Club—one of London’s most unique and exciting venues, set right on the Thames with epic waterfront views. The vibe was electric from the start, and with DJ Jon on the decks, it was destined to be an absolute banger of a night!

Rachel and Joey made a bold statement right from the off with their first dance to "You Spin Me Round" by Dead or Alive. It was the perfect high-energy opener and a clear sign that this wasn’t going to be your average wedding set. The crowd was instantly on board, and we didn’t let the energy drop for the rest of the night.

Rock & Alt Vibes with a Twist

Rachel and Joey’s love for rock and alt tunes was front and centre throughout the night, and we leaned into it hard. The set was packed with a mix of classic rock anthems, alt-rock bangers, and some unexpected twists that really made the night stand out.

Unexpected Curveballs That Worked

  • "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC - A full-on rock anthem that had the crowd going wild.

  • "Back in Black" by AC/DC - Keeping the rock energy up with another classic.

  • "Dani California" by Red Hot Chili Peppers - An alt-rock gem that brought serious hype to the dancefloor.

  • "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen - Rock and roll energy that had the whole room singing along.

Big Tunes That Hit the Mark

We made sure to mix in a few mainstream anthems alongside the rock classics, and they went off just as hard:

  • "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers - A guaranteed indie banger that had the room bouncing.

  • "Sex on Fire" by Kings of Leon - Never fails to get the place jumping.

  • "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen - One of those tracks that unites the whole room.

  • "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses - A rock anthem that kept the energy soaring.

Last Song to Remember

As the night came to a close, there was only one track that could finish things off in style—"Africa" by Toto. It’s an unexpected classic that brought everyone together one last time, with the whole room belting out the iconic chorus. A perfect way to end an incredible night.

A Night to Remember

Rachel and Joey’s wedding at Greenwich Yacht Club was an absolute triumph. From rock and alt classics to massive singalongs, it was a non-stop party from start to finish. We’re all about creating bespoke sets that reflect each couple’s unique vibe, and this night was no exception. Congratulations to Rachel and Joey!

THE PEASANT, CLERKENWELL WEDDING DJ

WEDDING DJ THE PEASANT, CLERKENWELL

Rachel & StephAn’s Wedding at The Peasant, Clerkenwell – A Transatlantic Party Done Right

There’s a reason The Peasant in Clerkenwell is one of London’s most loved wedding venues. A proper Victorian pub with a killer atmosphere, an epic drinks selection, and plenty of space to party—this place is built for a wedding with serious energy. And with Rachel & Stephan bringing together friends and family from both sides of the Atlantic, their big day was always going to be something special.

With DJ Jon on the decks, an eclectic playlist, and a crowd that came ready to go all night, this was a wedding party to remember.

A Soulful Start to a Massive Night

Rachel & Stephan kicked things off with a seriously cool first dance choice—"Oh How Happy" by Shades of Blue. A deep-cut 60s soul classic, it was the perfect feel-good track to set the tone for the night. The moment the chorus hit, the dancefloor filled, and that energy never dipped for the rest of the night.

From there, it was a full-speed ride through decades of soul, funk, rock, R&B, and indie bangers. The Peasant’s upstairs dancefloor space turned into a wall-to-wall party, fuelled by an eclectic mix of tunes that covered both UK and US dancefloor gold.

Big Tunes That Went Off

This was a high-energy, all-in crowd, and every genre had its moment. Some of the biggest highlights included:

  • "September" – Earth, Wind & Fire – You cannot go wrong with this one. Full wedding takeover.

  • "Teenage Dirtbag" – Wheatus – Every word screamed.

  • "Empire State of Mind" – Jay-Z & Alicia Keys – A huge moment for the American side of the room.

  • "Common People" – Pulp – The UK crowd went full festival mode for this one.

Curveballs That Worked

Every wedding has a few surprises that absolutely take over the night, and this was no different:

  • "Take Me Home, Country Roads" – John Denver → A full pub singalong moment.

  • "Digital Love" – Daft Punk → A deep cut from Daft Punk that always catches people off guard but works brilliantly when dropped at the right moment.

  • "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" – Jet → An early-2000s indie banger that isn’t a typical wedding tune but absolutely slaps when the energy is high.

A Huge Finish

The last hour of this wedding was absolute chaos in the best possible way. A mix of 00s indie, rock singalongs, and big US anthems kept the dancefloor packed until the final track.

For the last song of the night, Rachel & Stephan chose "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Elton John—a slow-burn classic that had arms around shoulders, drinks in the air, and some serious end-of-the-night emotions.

How Much Does a Wedding DJ Cost? A Breakdown of Price vs. Quality

If you’re planning a wedding, chances are you’ve come across the question: how much does a wedding DJ cost? The truth is, wedding DJ prices vary massively, and knowing what you're actually getting for your money at each price point is crucial. From amateur DJs charging a couple of hundred pounds to high-end professional DJ companies and even celebrity wedding DJs with five-figure fees, the difference in quality, experience, and service is significant.

A great wedding DJ is about far more than just hitting play on a playlist. The right DJ will read the crowd, mix seamlessly, adapt to the energy of the room, and most importantly, keep the dancefloor packed all night. But with so many different options available, how do you know what you should be paying for a wedding DJ?

It’s important to note that the wedding DJ prices outlined in this guide are based on London wedding DJ rates, where costs are naturally higher due to the city’s demand and higher business expenses. If you’re booking a DJ outside of London, you can generally reduce these prices by around 20%, as rule of thumb. However, the same principles apply—knowing what you should be getting for your budget at each level is key to making the right decision.

This guide breaks down the five main price points you’ll find when looking for a wedding DJ. We’ll cover what you can expect at each level—from budget amateurs to premium professional wedding DJs and even celebrity DJ bookings—so you can make the right choice for your wedding.

Amateur DJ (£100-£200) – The “Mate of a Mate” Option

At this price point, you're not hiring a professional DJ—you’re most likely booking a friend of a friend who DJs occasionally at bars or house parties but has little to no wedding experience.

The Good Bits:

It’s cheap – This price is so low it barely needs budgeting for.
Personal connection – You might know them, which could be reassuring.
A cost-saving option – If music isn’t a big priority, this might work.

The Risks:

No wedding experience – Keeping a structured wedding night flowing is completely different from playing in a pub or at a house party.
No accountability – Without a proper business setup, there’s nothing stopping them from bailing last minute.
Poor equipment – Expect low-quality speakers, no backup gear, and no sound technician.
Limited communication – No contracts, no clear agreements, and minimal planning.

What You Can Expect:

🔹 A casual approach—little to no pre-wedding planning.
🔹 Unreliable service—there’s no guarantee they’ll even turn up.
🔹 A DIY setup—you’re gambling on sound quality and professionalism.

Pro/Am DJ (£200-£400) – The Side Hustle DJ

This DJ has a bit more experience, maybe with a basic website and a few weddings under their belt. They often DJ at bars, birthdays, and small club nights but wedding-specific experience may still be lacking.

The Good Bits:

More experienced than an amateur – They’ve possibly played some weddings before.
Still relatively affordable – A middle-ground price point.
If you’ve seen them play before – They can be a solid budget-friendly choice.

The Risks:

No backup plan – If they can’t make it, you’re scrambling for a replacement.
Limited playlist control – Some will accept requests, but many won’t.
Equipment might be outdated – A professional setup costs £10k+—someone charging £300 per gig likely doesn’t have high-end kit.

What You Can Expect:

🔹 A functional but basic setup—they'll have their own equipment, but don’t expect pro-quality sound.
🔹 Limited pre-wedding communication—you may not get much planning input.
🔹 A set that works, but isn’t tailored to you.

wedding dj cost

Mid-Level Professional DJ Company (£400-£800) – The "Stack ‘Em High" Option

This is the price-point where you tend to start working with a company rather than an individual DJ. These businesses send DJs out to multiple weddings every weekend and tend to have a business model that prioritises volume over high quality.

The Good Bits:

A lot of experience as a business—they’ve done hundreds (if not thousands) of weddings.
A structured process—you’ll get contracts, invoices, and likely decent equipment.
Backup DJs available—if your assigned DJ is ill, they can send a replacement.

The Risks:

The "stack ‘em high" model—these companies prioritise volume over quality, which can lead to inconsistent DJs. You may get a good one, you may not.
DJs may not be properly vetted—some companies hire cheap DJs to keep costs low.
Limited customisation—you might not have much input into the setlist.
A risk of "cheesy wedding DJ" vibes—some DJs may rely on outdated crowd-pleasers rather than truly tailoring the night.

What You Can Expect:

🔹 A reliable DJ with good equipment—but the level of DJing talent can be hit-or-miss.
🔹 Some playlist input, but don’t expect a fully bespoke experience.
🔹 A "safe" wedding setlist—it’ll work, but may lack originality.

How much does a wedding DJ cost London

High-Level Professional DJ Company (£800-£2500) – The Focus on Quality (This is Us, Hi 👋)

At this level, you’re booking a premium wedding DJ service that prioritises quality over volume. This is the option for the couple that is truly serious about their wedding party.

The Good Bits:

Highly experienced DJs—hand-picked professionals with lots of wedding experience as well as club, festival, and private event backgrounds.
Bespoke setlists—the music is fully tailored to your exact vision.
Top-tier equipment—crystal-clear sound, professional lighting, and backups for everything.
Exceptional client service—pre-wedding Zoom calls, and full venue coordination.
Backup plans in place—if your DJ is unavailable, a like-for-like replacement is guaranteed without any slip in service level.

The Risks:

Can be expensive for some budgets—this level of service is premium, and the price often reflects that.
Sometimes as expensive as a live band—for couples deciding between a DJ and a band, this can be a factor.
Not necessary for all weddings—if music isn’t a huge priority for you, you might not need this level of detail and service.

What You Can Expect:

🔹 A completely bespoke experience – The music reflects your style perfectly.
🔹 A packed dancefloor from start to finish - DJs that under stand exactly what’s required of them at a wedding.
🔹 Professionalism at every stage – From enquiry to the final song of the night.

Celebrity DJ (£5000+) – The Ultimate Party Flex

For those with serious budgets, booking a big-name DJ can be the ultimate wedding flex. Whether it’s a world-famous club DJ, a member of a well-known band, or even a household name from the charts, this is where weddings start to feel more like VIP events.

The Good Bits:

Star power & wow factor – Having a celebrity DJ will make your wedding stand out.
A proper club experience – Some big-name DJs bring a high-energy, Ibiza-style party atmosphere.
A unique selling point – This is something that very few weddings can boast.

The Challenges:

Huge cost beyond the booking fee – The £5k+ price tag is just the starting point (and the cost will be much more for many DJs). You’ll likely need to pay for:

  • Their travel and accommodation (especially expensive for international DJs)

  • A high-spec equipment rider (which can be very pricey)

  • Possibly even security or a separate green room space for them

They don’t do “wedding DJing” – Celebrity DJs play their style, not yours. You won’t get much say over the setlist.
No flexibility – If they get sick or cancel, there’s no backup plan.
The cost-to-fun ratio – Spending £10k on a celeb DJ vs. spending that on other areas of the wedding needs to be considered.

What You Can Expect:

🔹 A club-level DJ set—this will be nothing like a standard wedding set.
🔹 Serious star power—expect the unexpected, but don’t expect much input into the music choices.
🔹 A huge logistical operation—these bookings are complex and require significant planning.

Booking a celebrity DJ can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but it’s not for everyone. If you’re looking for a DJ who will craft a bespoke, crowd-focused set tailored exactly to your wedding, a high-level professional DJ company is usually a better investment.

Final Thoughts: Choosing the Right Wedding DJ for Your Budget

A wedding DJ isn’t just about playing music—they set the energy, create the atmosphere, and make sure your dancefloor is packed all night. The difference between an average DJ and a great one isn’t just their ability to hit play—it’s in how they mix, read the crowd, and keep the momentum going from the first dance to the last song.

So, how do you decide?

  • If music isn’t a huge priority and you’re just looking for a basic setup, an amateur or pro/am DJ might work—but be prepared for unpredictable quality, no backup plans, and a lack of control over your night.

  • If you want reliability and a structured process, a mid-level DJ company can be a safe option. But expect a more generic experience, with DJs who follow a set formula rather than tailoring the night to your crowd.

  • If you want a bespoke, high-energy wedding soundtrack that reflects you and your guests, a high-level professional DJ company (like RedLine DJs) is the best investment. This guarantees:

    • A fully tailored music experience, based on your tastes.

    • Highly skilled, experienced DJs who know how to keep the party going.

    • Top-quality sound and lighting, with full backup plans for every detail.

    • A night that feels unique to you—no cookie-cutter playlists, no cheesy DJ chatter, just an incredible, unforgettable dancefloor.

If you want your wedding night to be one to remember, investing in a great DJ is one of the best decisions you’ll make.

At RedLine DJs, we sit firmly in the high-level professional DJ category—we don’t do generic wedding sets.

WILTON'S MUSIC HALL WEDDING DJ

WEDDING DJ WILTON'S MUSIC HALL

Laura & Chris’ Wedding at Wilton’s Music Hall – A Rock & Indie-Fueled Party

Wilton’s Music Hall is a truly iconic venue—one of the oldest surviving music halls in the world and an incredible setting for a wedding. As one of the venues where we’re on the PSL (preferred suppliers list), we know exactly how to bring the best party vibes to this space, and for Laura & Chris, that meant an indie and rock-heavy soundtrack that kept the dancefloor packed from start to finish.

A First Dance with an Edge

Forget traditional slow dances—Laura & Chris went straight in with Today by Smashing Pumpkins, setting the tone for a night filled with big guitar-driven anthems. It was a bold, brilliant choice, and as soon as the first chorus hit, the guests were fully involved.

A Rock & Indie-Packed Playlist

This was a dream setlist for indie and rock lovers, pulling in some of the biggest anthems across 90s, 00s, and classic rock history. Some of the standouts included:

  • Indie Bangers That Landed Hard – Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, The Killers, and Bloc Party had the dancefloor jumping.

  • 90s & 00s Alt-Rock Anthems – Blink-182, Foo Fighters, Green Day, and The White Stripes brought mosh-pit energy at times.

  • Classic Rock Singalongs – Fleetwood Mac, Queen, and David Bowie kept all generations in the mix.

  • A Bit of Electro & Dance-Rock – LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture, and The Prodigy added something different but kept the energy at 100.

Curveballs That Worked

Sometimes, it's the unexpected tracks that get the biggest reactions. These were the ones that blew up on the night:

  • Reptilia – The Strokes (An absolute moment—pure indie disco gold.)

  • Misery Business – Paramore (Straight-up chaos on the dancefloor.)

  • Gay Bar – Electric Six (A total wildcard that went off.)

A Huge Finale

As the night drew to a close, Laura & Chris went for an epic, euphoric ending, closing things out with You've Got the Love by Florence & The Machine. With arms around shoulders and voices at full volume, it was the perfect send-off to an unforgettable night.

A Legendary Night at Wilton’s Music Hall

Laura & Chris knew exactly what they wanted—an indie-rock-fueled wedding party with a dancefloor that never let up—and DJ Vicki Lou delivered. With the perfect mix of guitar anthems, indie classics, and unexpected moments, this was one for the books.

THE ROSENDALE WEDDING DJ DULWICH

WEDDING DJ THE ROSENDALE dulwich

Sophie & Justin’s Wedding at The Rosendale – A Non-Stop Party in Dulwich

The Rosendale in Dulwich is the definition of a top-tier London pub venue—great food, stylish interiors, and a proper party-ready function space that’s perfect for weddings. For Sophie & Justin, it was the ideal setting for a wedding that was all about the music, and with DJ Vicki Lou on the decks, the dancefloor was packed from start to finish.

A First Dance with a Difference

Sophie & Justin kicked things off with "Praise You" by Fatboy Slim—a first dance track that instantly set the tone for the night. No slow swaying, no sentimental ballads—just straight into the good vibes, with friends and family joining them early on to get the dancefloor buzzing from the start.

An Eclectic Wedding Playlist That Delivered

The mix for the night was all over the map in the best possible way. This was a proper London wedding crowd, so the playlist had to bring big indie, 90s dance, hip-hop, and classic throwbacks into the mix. Some of the standout moments included:

  • Indie Anthems That Landed Hard – The Strokes, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, and some early Arctic Monkeys keeping things lively.

  • Old-School Hip-Hop & R&BOutkast, Missy Elliott, and Snoop Dogg added a bit of 90s and 00s swagger to the set.

  • House & Dance Classics – Basement Jaxx, Daft Punk, and The Prodigy kept the energy levels up.

  • Singalong Guilty Pleasures – Because no wedding is complete without a bit of ABBA and Whitney Houston.

Curveballs That Worked

Some of the unexpected moments that went off big:

  • "Sabotage" – Beastie Boys (Proper mosh-pit energy for a wedding crowd)

  • "Get Ur Freak On" – Missy Elliott (Everyone lost it when this dropped—absolute chaos)

  • "Murder on the Dancefloor" – Sophie Ellis-Bextor (This one just keeps getting bigger and bigger)

A Massive Indie Finish

As the night drew to a close, the last stretch was wall-to-wall indie bangers, closing out on Arctic Monkeys’ "When The Sun Goes Down". Big singalong moment, full dancefloor mayhem, and the perfect way to wrap up an unforgettable night.

A Killer Party at The Rosendale

Sophie & Justin’s wedding was exactly how a pub wedding should be—laid-back, fun, and a full-throttle party from start to finish. With DJ Vicki Lou bringing the tunes, this was one of those weddings where you just know the crowd would’ve kept going all night if they could.

WEDDING DJ PARADISE BY WAY OF KENSAL GREEN

Olivia & Daniel’s Wedding at Paradise by Way of Kensal Green – A Transatlantic Celebration

Paradise by Way of Kensal Green is one of West London’s most effortlessly cool wedding venues. With its eclectic décor, vintage charm, and a reputation for throwing some of the best parties in town, it was the perfect setting for Olivia & Daniel’s big day. This wedding had a definite US tint to the soundtrack, with Olivia’s American roots shining through in the music selection, blending Southern rock, classic country, blues, and all-out party anthems for a night that felt totally unique.

A Smooth, Soulful First Dance

The couple chose "Tennessee Whiskey" by Chris Stapleton for their first dance, a slow-burning, soulful country ballad that set a warm, intimate tone to kick things off. The track’s bluesy guitar and smooth vocals made for a gorgeous moment, before DJ Vicki Lou took things up several notches and got the dancefloor fully moving.

An All-American Soundtrack With a London Twist

This was a wedding with serious range. The brief was to reflect Olivia’s US background while keeping things accessible for a London crowd—and that’s exactly what the set delivered. Highlights included:

  • Southern Rock & Americana Vibes – Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, and The Eagles brought a laid-back, anthemic feel early in the night.

  • Country Meets Dancefloor – Shania Twain’s Man! I Feel Like a Woman! had an insane reaction.

  • Classic & Modern Pop Bangers – Beyoncé, Britney Spears, and Dua Lipa kept the dancefloor packed.

  • Indie & Rock Anthems – Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, and Bruce Springsteen made sure both sides of the pond felt represented.

Curveballs That Worked

Some of the night’s biggest surprises came from unexpected tracks that completely took over the dancefloor:

  • "Jolene" – Dolly Parton (A proper country moment that had the entire room singing along)

  • "Wagon Wheel" – Old Crow Medicine Show (A folk-country anthem that landed perfectly with the crowd)

  • "Take Me Home, Country Roads" – John Denver (One of the biggest singalongs of the night)

Big Tunes That Smashed It

  • "Dancing in the Dark" – Bruce Springsteen (Springsteen is always a winner)

  • "American Boy" – Estelle & Kanye West (A fun nod to the cross-Atlantic theme of the night)

  • "Proud Mary" – Tina Turner (The big ‘rollin’ moment had the dancefloor absolutely going off)

Closing With a Special Song

For the last song of the night, Olivia & Daniel went for something truly personal—"Bull Riders & Songwriters" by Willy Tea Taylor. It was a beautiful, reflective way to end the night, a track that meant a lot to the couple and gave everyone a moment to take it all in before heading home.

A Wedding to Remember at Paradise by Way of Kensal Green

This was a high-energy, eclectic, and personal wedding soundtrack, perfectly blending US influences with a proper London party. Olivia & Daniel knew exactly what they wanted, and DJ Vicki Lou delivered a set that felt totally unique to them—the kind of night that no one who was there will forget anytime soon.

A Setlist to Make Up for Lost Time

With friends and family who had waited years for this night, the brief was clear: pure party energy. DJ Vicki Lou delivered a dancefloor set that blended disco, pop, indie anthems, and 90s dance, keeping all generations involved and the energy sky-high. Some of the biggest moments included:

Last Song of the Night

As the final minutes approached, the dancefloor was still at full tilt, and there was only one way to close out this long-awaited party—Oasis’ “Wonderwall”.

THE ORANGERY WEDDING DJ

WEDDING DJ AT THE ORANGERY

Wedding DJ at The Orangery, Maidstone – Sumant & Meredith's Epic Cross-Cultural Celebration

The Orangery in Maidstone is a stunning wedding venue, surrounded by lush gardens and set against the backdrop of a tranquil lake and waterfall. It’s an incredible space that offers both elegance and versatility—perfect for Sumant and Meredith’s unforgettable wedding, which blended vibrant Punjabi Hindu traditions with Canadian wedding vibes. With DJ Jon on the decks and full-day support from RedLine DJs, this was a wedding that had it all, from serene ceremony moments to an absolutely wild dancefloor.

A Ceremony by the Water

The day started with a breathtaking outdoor Hindu ceremony, set right by the river within The Orangery’s beautifully landscaped grounds. We provided full sound system support, ensuring that every word of the ceremony was crystal clear with wireless lapel mics for the officiants and speakers. The groom’s entrance, or Baraat, was an energetic highlight, complete with dhol drummers setting the tone for the celebration ahead.

From Dinner to Dancefloor

Following the ceremony, guests moved indoors for the wedding breakfast, where we set the mood with a carefully curated background playlist that bridged the couple’s musical tastes—classic Motown and soul for Meredith’s family, alongside some Bollywood and bhangra-infused instrumentals for Sumant’s side.

The first dance was a timeless classic: God Only Knows by The Beach Boys. A beautifully sentimental moment that led straight into a high-energy, full-throttle party. Sumant and Meredith didn’t just want a dancefloor—they wanted a party, and that’s exactly what they got.

The Soundtrack to an Unforgettable Night

  • Big dancefloor fillers – Earth, Wind & Fire, Beyoncé, and Calvin Harris had everyone moving.

  • Bhangra and Bollywood bangersMundian To Bach Ke and Jai Ho got Sumant’s side of the family hyped.

  • Pop-punk and indie anthems – Blink-182, The Killers, and Arctic Monkeys had the late-night crowd bouncing.

  • Singalong moments – There’s nothing quite like Livin’ on a Prayer and Mr. Brightside to bring everyone together.

Last Song of the Night

As the night drew to a close, the energy in the room was still electric. To wrap things up in style, Sumant and Meredith chose Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen—an absolute anthem that had everyone belting out the lyrics, arms in the air, right to the last beat.

  • Dancing Queen – ABBA fever was in full swing!

  • Temperature – Sean Paul brought some unexpected dancehall heat to the night.

BROOKFIELD BARN WEDDING DJ

WEDDING DJ BROOKFIELD BARN

A Non-Stop Party: Millie & Felix’s Wedding at Brookfield Barn

We love playing at Brookfield Barn—and we should, considering how many weddings we DJ there! As one of their preferred suppliers, we’ve had the pleasure of soundtracking countless unforgettable nights in this stunning Sussex venue. With its gorgeous lakeside setting, modern barn aesthetic, and perfect dancefloor space, it’s no wonder it’s such a hit with couples.

For Millie & Felix, this was all about the party—and they absolutely brought the energy from start to finish. With DJ Jon on the decks, this was one of those weddings where the dancefloor was packed from the first song to the very last.

A Wedding Dancefloor That Didn’t Quit

Kicking things off in style, Millie & Felix chose "Your Song" by Elton John for their first dance. A timeless classic, it set a beautiful, intimate tone before the night shifted straight into full party mode. No slow build-up here—the crowd was ready to go, and we hit them with back-to-back dancefloor anthems to keep the momentum soaring.

This was one of those nights where everything landed, with a mix of pop, indie, R&B, and classic singalongs firing up guests of all ages. Huge tracks from Beyoncé, Calvin Harris, Justin Timberlake, and The Killers kept the energy levels sky-high, while some 90s and 00s throwbacks had the whole dancefloor in nostalgic euphoria.

And when it came to the last song of the night? Wonderwall by Oasis—a huge, arms-around-each-other, sing-it-like-you-mean-it moment to close out an incredible wedding.

Big Tunes That Absolutely Worked

  • Mr. Brightside – The Killers (because obviously)

  • Crazy in Love – Beyoncé & JAY-Z (instant floor-filler)

  • Superstition – Stevie Wonder (one for the funk & soul heads)

  • Dancing in the Moonlight – Toploader (undeniable feel-good vibes)

  • We Found Love – Rihanna & Calvin Harris (huge euphoric moment)

Curveballs That Worked

  • Temperature – Sean Paul (bringing the dancehall heat)

  • Teenage Dirtbag – Wheatus (90s nostalgia singalong madness)

THE GLASS HOUSE WEDDING DJ LONDON

WEDDING DJ AT THE GLASS HOUSE, HACKNEY

Vince & Ellie’s Wedding at The Glass House, Hackney – A Night of Unique Tunes & Big Energy

The Glass House in Hackney is an absolute gem of a venue—modern, airy, and packed with character. Nestled within Springfield Park, it offers stunning views and a bright, stylish space that transforms beautifully into an intimate party setting as the night unfolds. Vince & Ellie’s wedding here in June 2023 was an incredible night, filled with unique song choices, unexpected dancefloor moments, and an epic energy that didn’t dip for a second.

A First Dance with a Twist

Vince & Ellie didn’t go for a conventional first dance—they chose "I Choose You" by Willie Hutch, a leftfield but brilliant pick. It set a romantic yet soulful mood, giving the couple a special moment before quickly transitioning into a full-on party atmosphere. From the start, it was clear that this wasn’t going to be a night of cookie-cutter wedding tunes—every track was carefully considered and weaved seamlessly into the set.

A Playlist Like No Other

Their brief was to keep things eclectic and vibrant, blending classic disco, indie gems, and leftfield pop anthems. Some absolute highlights included:

  • Disco & Funk StaplesGot to Be Real (Cheryl Lynn), I Wanna Be Your Lover (Prince), and Dancing Queen (ABBA)

  • Indie & Leftfield Pop PicksRun Away With Me (Carly Rae Jepsen), Style (Taylor Swift), and Beg For You (Charli XCX & Rina Sawayama)

  • Unexpected ThrowbacksDon’t Mug Yourself (The Streets), Se Telefonando (Mina), and Okay Okay (Pino D’Angiò)

With a mix like this, the dancefloor was never predictable, but it was always full.

Curveballs That Worked

One of the standout things about this set was the way Vince & Ellie’s unexpected selections blended into the night. These tracks weren’t typical wedding floor-fillers, but they went off:

  • "Se Telefonando" – Mina – A gorgeous Italian classic that had a surprising number of guests singing along.

  • "Maledetta Primavera" – Loretta Goggi – Another deep Italian cut that brought some serious European flair to the set.

  • "Open Your Eyes" – Snow Patrol – A late-night moment that got hands in the air and voices singing in unison.

Big Tunes That Worked

While the playlist had its niche moments, there were also plenty of guaranteed party anthems that kept energy levels at a constant high:

  • "American Boy" – Estelle & Kanye West – Always a crowd-pleaser.

  • "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" – ABBA – A must-play for any wedding with a pop-loving crowd.

  • "Murder on the Dancefloor" – Sophie Ellis-Bextor – Safe to say this one has become an essential wedding banger in 2023.

Closing With a Bang

For the final stretch of the night, Vince & Ellie kept things interesting. Their last dance pick? "Saturday Night" by The Blue Nile—a perfect, atmospheric closer that left everyone on a high. Not your typical last song, but one that felt absolutely right in the moment.

WEDDING DJ AT BISTROTHEQUE LONDON

A Scottish-Inspired Celebration: Marcus & Ellima’s Wedding at Bistrotheque in BETHNAL GREEN

Bistrotheque is one of East London’s coolest wedding venues—tucked away in a quiet street, this industrial-chic restaurant is a hidden gem that offers incredible food, a sleek, modern aesthetic, and a buzzing atmosphere. It was the perfect spot for Marcus & Ellima’s wedding, bringing together their Scottish heritage with a love of great music, top-tier cocktails, and an all-night party vibe.

DJ Jon was on deck to curate a setlist that reflected the couple’s background and music taste, blending contemporary bangers with indie classics, Scottish anthems, and dancefloor fillers from across the decades.

A Unique Start to the Evening

Rather than opting for something overly sentimental, Marcus & Ellima kicked off the night with "You've Got The Love" by Florence & The Machine—an uplifting, euphoric choice that set the tone perfectly. Instead of a slow, traditional first dance, the couple invited everyone to join them straight away, getting the party started in style.

From there, the night rolled effortlessly through a mix of genres, featuring everything from Calvin Harris and CHVRCHES to classic singalongs like "500 Miles" by The Proclaimers", ensuring their Scottish roots were well represented.

A Dancefloor That Didn’t Stop

With a high-energy crowd that was up for anything, DJ Jon kept the floor moving with:

  • Big indie anthems – Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, and a dose of Oasis

  • Scottish classics – Biffy Clyro, Simple Minds, and a massive reaction to The Proclaimers

  • Dance bangers – Basement Jaxx, Faithless, and a bit of early 2000s Ministry of Sound magic

  • Throwback pop hits – Britney Spears, Robbie Williams, and Sugababes

The mix of modern and nostalgic tracks worked perfectly, keeping every generation on their feet throughout the night.

A Fitting Finale

As the night wound down, Marcus & Ellima had one last surprise up their sleeve. The penultimate track, "Loch Lomond" by Runrig", had the Scottish guests in full voice, arms around each other in a proper Highland-style sendoff. But the final track of the night was something that everyone could get behind—"Wonderwall" by Oasis". An emotional, arms-in-the-air moment that brought the wedding to a perfect close.

A Night to Remember

Marcus & Ellima’s wedding at Bistrotheque was an unforgettable night—an incredible venue, an amazing couple, and an electric atmosphere. The mix of indie, dance, and Scottish anthems made for a truly unique and personal soundtrack, and we couldn’t have asked for a better crowd.
