I used Tom for my 40th and a work function. He was very professional and kept everyone very happy. I will definitely be using Tom in the future. He's a pleasure to have at your special occasion.

Amazing experience with Tom for a Photobooth at our wedding. Great communication beforehand, he was happy to liaise directly with the hotel. He set up without a fuss and was fully ready to go when the party started. Tom was friendly and professional throughout. Guests loved the Photobooth and props that came with it. Can’t recommend him highly enough. Thanks once again

We had Tom for our wedding and couldn’t be happier with his set. Using a selection of our own pre selected playlist and his own choices- it made for a wonderful evening of non-stop dancing, laughter and singalong anthems. Me and my partner would both like to send a special thanks for making our evening as memorable as it was. You read the room perfectly and got even the most stubborn of guests on the dance floor. 10/10.

Absolutely amazing DJ! The music was spot on from start to finish, with all the best songs that kept everyone on the dance floor all night. The atmosphere was incredible, and tom knew exactly how to read the crowd and keep the energy going. I couldn’t have asked for a better soundtrack to the event. Highly recommend if you want a great night with fantastic music!
