Wedding DJ FAQ

Tim normally arrives at least two hours before your start time to set up the sound and lighting and do a full sound check.

That can change to suit your venue's access times, and for all-day weddings the equipment can be set up before the day begins if your venue allows.

An evening reception usually runs for 5 hours, for example 7pm to midnight.

An all-day package covers 9 hours, from the ceremony and wedding breakfast through to the evening party. Smaller celebrations and drinks receptions suit a shorter set of about 3.5 hours. Start and finish times can move to fit your plans.

Yes.

Tim can announce the grand entrance, call guests to the wedding breakfast, introduce the speeches, and lead the cake cutting, first dance, buffet, bouquet toss and your send-off. You agree the running order with him beforehand, and he uses wireless microphones so he can speak from the best spot in the room.

Smart formal wear at every wedding, usually a suit or trousers with a shirt and waistcoat.

He can dress to a theme, such as black tie or a 70s night, if you'd like. During set-up he wears a branded polo shirt, then changes before guests come in. Tim never drinks alcohol before or during an event.

Tidy and smart.

Cables and cases are hidden behind a starcloth or a neat booth front, and the lighting is professional and computer-controlled, so it adds to your room rather than cluttering it.

Tim announces you, dims the lights and plays the exact version of your song.

You can choose to have the floor to yourselves all the way through, or have Tim invite guests to join you halfway. Some packages include a snow or bubble effect for the first dance, if your venue allows it.

Think of the day in stages: arrival and ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast, speeches, then the evening party.

Each needs a different mood, building from calm to party. With one DJ all day, the music flows from one stage to the next without changing supplier. The free Wedding Day Timeline Builder helps you map it out.

You can submit your custom track list and a "Do Not Play" list directly through your online client portal.

In 50 years Tim has played hotels, barns, marquees, country houses, village halls, golf clubs and pubs across the four counties. Tell him your venue when you enquire, and he'll let you know what works best there.

Couples often add the Vintage Selfie Pod with a red carpet, venue uplighting, a snow or bubble first dance effect, a confetti cannon finale or a game of Boogie Bingo.

Once you've booked, your client portal shows the add-ons at client prices.

Tim's Last One Standing quiz is included free with every package.

Guests play on their phones, with questions about the two of you. The shoe game is a classic too, and the free Wedding Games Question Generator writes the questions for you.

Popular choices include sweets or chocolates, mini bottles of prosecco, seed packets, candles, personalised biscuits, small jars of honey or jam, and charity donations in your guests' names.

Edible favours rarely get left behind.

Roses, peonies, hydrangeas, gypsophila, eucalyptus, ranunculus, sweet peas, dahlias and lisianthus are among the favourites, depending on the season.

The free Wedding Flower Picker shows what's in season for your date.

Most couples serve a welcome drink, wine with the meal, a toast for the speeches, and a bar for the evening.

Prosecco, Pimm's and a signature cocktail are popular, with good alcohol-free options too. The free Wedding Drinks Calculator works out how much you need.
