Weddings/civil partnerships are a landmark occasion in your relationship by their very nature and so should be fun and well organized as they will be remembered not just by the bride and groom but by family and friends for life. It follows therefore, that you need a professional DJ (watch out for amateurs supplied by hotels at budget rates) who will show up (!) and smooth things along nicely, announcing the various stages such as the first dance /bouquet toss etc. with confidence and authority -oh and with a decent mic. and sound system too. lastly, as with any party with varying age groups, you need a DJ with a good catalogue of big tunes at his or her instant disposal.
All this stuff is important as it makes the difference between a stylish and punchy affair and one of those "Peter kay" type discos that you've seen on tv. ie: playing or saying the wrong stuff at the wrong time on dodgy gear - ouch!!
Here's an interesting survey from Pro Mobile Magazine:
Within a week of their reception 78% of brides say they would have made the entertainment their highest priority and 81% say this is the part they remember the most.
Almost 100% say that they would have spent more of their budget on entertainment (as opposed to the cake and dare I say the dress! Ok, forget I said that..) and in an earlier question 65% of the couples that hired a band say that if they could go back and do it again they would have chosen a good DJ.
NB. If you are hiring a band as well as a DJ or even just a band if you're undecided, I can help you with this As I know of several good ones. If you go it alone, make sure you get a demo cd first and ask if all the musicians on the cd are going to be there on the night. Backing tracks are passable but nothing like the real deal.
About 80% of my business is wedding discos. If you book me you will be in the hands of a seasoned professional.

Mike, thanks for playing a superb set at our wedding on New Years Eve. We had a great time, and the dancefloor was full with people of all ages from start to finish. Great work managing to satisfy all the requests on the night, as well as all of our advance requests.
Thanks again
Andy

Mike, thanks so much for your hard work at our wedding at Farbridge in October. Everyone commented on the excellent music and you managed to get everyone on the dance-floor for the entire evening! We really appreciated your clear understanding of the style of music we like and how you adapted it perfectly to keep our guests so happy. Thanks for your contribution to a wonderful day!

Mike,
Thank you for providing the fantastic tunes for our wedding on 17 September 2011. In case you didn't notice me, the bride,[I] barely left the dance floor! Also for managing to cope with the interruptions with the serenading by the guys, the surprise fireworks, and also playing some unknown Australian tunes we sent though. Now to work out what we are doing for our music for our Australian celebrations. You were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish.

Hi mike,
We cannot thank you enough for the brilliant evening you gave everyone
at our wedding last week. All our friends have commented on how much
they enjoyed the night. Your choice of music was spot on and kept the
dance floor full all night! We spotted [that] the penultimate tune was
personalized for us.
Thank you again,
Vince and Kim

Mike was the DJ at our wedding in early May.
From the moment we contacted him, he was helpful, flexible,
responsive, organised, eager and friendly to deal with.
Not only this - he also understood the stress involved in
arranging a wedding and consequently accommodated last minute
changes and requests we made without any fuss.
If you want someone who is going to do a great job, explain things
to you clearly and go out of their way to make your party a success,
I would get in touch with Mike.
Mobile disco and DJ in Chichester, Arundel, Bognor Regis, Littlehampton and Worthing. All Sussex and Hampshire area covered. Weddings are our speciality!
