 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked Tom to DJ and provide the mirror photo booth for my birthday party, and he was brilliant from start to finish. The song request link in advance was such a nice touch, and he got the music spot on for the night. Everyone was on the dance floor at some point, and the photo booth was a big hit too. I’d 100% recommend and would definitely book again

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tom was booked for our end of term Easter Disco and I can safely say we were not disappointed that we did. Booking was simple and Tom arrived in plenty of time to set up for our first of the three discos we held.  From start to finish the children were up and dancing and all who came enjoyed the end of term fun!!! Thank you

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a kids’ birthday party on Saturday and it was an absolute blast. The birthday girl is a K-pop Demon Hunters fan, so she was over the moon to hear all the music from the movie playing )) The party games were great too — all the kids received prizes and medals. Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tom was DJ at my 70th party , he was the best DJ I have heard (excuse the pun) in a long time, the fact that he sent a link to share for song requests was brilliant. The ages at Party was from 1 to 80+ Tom catered for everyone 60s, 70s, 80, right through to present time. He honestly made the best night even better. I would 100 percent recommend him and definitely use him again.
