Gemma & Brian’s Wedding DJ Testimonial
Gemma & Brian’s testimonial is the third and final post in my series based on the support I’ve received for my nomination in The Hampshire Wedding Awards. Yesterday I discovered I’ve made it to the Finals which is incredible news.
Gemma & Brian’s wedding was held at the beautiful Audleys Wood Hotel near Basingstoke. Gemma and Brian found me following Kat’s review of her wedding there on Trip Advisor ~ to find out more about Kat and Gareth’s CLICK HERE.
I’ve really enjoyed my two visits to Audleys Wood, it’s part of the Handpicked Group of Hotels along with Rhinefield House and the standards are excellent.
Gemma & Brian were great fun to plan with, they already had lots of great ideas when we first met and I was able to help them create their dream celebration full of memorable moments and lots of fun.
So, here’s Gemma and Brian’s testimonial of Paul ~ The Party DJ
“My husband and I got married on Sunday 12th June 2016 at Audley’s Wood Hotel in Basingstoke. We found Paul through another brides outstanding review of the personal service he provided for her wedding at the venue we were getting married at a few years before. I had been frantically looking for a DJ and was having no luck so when I stumbled across his brides review I had to contact her and ask for Pauls details – I am so glad I did!”
“I sent Paul an email and he replied right away, he sent me over a pack full of information of the service he provides for weddings to allow me to decide whether I wanted to meet with him for a chat and get a quote for our wedding. Reading through the unique and personal service Paul provides I had no doubt I wanted to meet him. He arranged a time which suited us and he happily offered to come to our house (which is a fair drive for Paul) so we could meet him face to face and discuss everything he would do for us on the day and to give us ideas as to how to make our wedding unique to us and different.”
“I felt so at ease from the moment I met Paul, he is very warm and bubbly but also extremely calming – which is exactly what a bride needs when planning her big day as it is a stressful time! He tailored everything to how we wanted our day to go, asked us questions regarding what kind of feel we wanted the day to have, what our theme was, colour scheme etc so he could really understand who we are as individuals and exactly the kind of day we were trying to achieve. Paul gave us a quote and left it totally in our court as to whether we wanted to book him, he did not ask us to decide there and then, he gave us time to decide on our own. AT NO POINT did I feel at all pressured to book Paul for our wedding, however I had already decided in the first 60 seconds of meeting him I wanted him to be a part our of day!”
“I got in touch with Paul a few days later to ask him if we could go ahead with booking him for our wedding. We were all extremely delighted he was going to be such a huge part of our day. Paul was happy throughout the whole 18 months of planning our wedding for me to contact him with questions when I was booking other parts of our day to ensure we were getting exactly what we wanted and just generally for ideas on things we could incorporate on the day to make it extra special.”
“We met several times over the course of planning the wedding, nothing was too much hassle for Paul. He was like having our own wedding planner there on hand whenever we needed him, he came over to our house to sit down with a pack which he has created as part of his personalised service for us to fill out to ensure we would have everything we wanted on the day and that everything would run smoothly, helping us to plan all our timings for our big day as we did not have a wedding rehearsal. Just knowing Paul was there on hand to organise everything on the day so we did not have to think or worry about a thing and we could completely relax was such a relief!”
“We were a little stuck on music for our special dances so Paul sent us links and offered suggestions to help us so nothing became stressful. He created a face book group for our big day where we added all of our friends who were coming to the wedding and allowed them to post youtube links of their requests for the evening disco and he took everyones into consideration and mixed in some of his own music he felt would suit the theme! There wasn’t a moment the dance floor was empty and that was our biggest fear so he did a cracking job!! Everyone had a fantastic evening and loved the music! There was something for everyone!”
“On the day itself Paul was even more fantastic than I knew he would be. He was there from before all our guests arrived, he had all our suppliers contact numbers so he could contact them if anyone had not arrived at the time they said they would be so we did not have to worry about a thing! Everything was there on time and all set up and ready for our guests arriving! The whole day ran smoothly! It was absolutely perfect! There were no hiccups. Even when we had a downpour of rain this didn’t disturb the plans or throw anything out. We still had everything we had wanted incorporated into our day!”
“We wanted a relaxed feel to the day, we wanted our family and friends to enjoy themselves and feel at ease. Everyone who attended our wedding said thats exactly how they felt, and thats all thanks to Paul for making this happen! We have had SO many compliments from all our guests saying it was the best wedding they have ever been too. They loved all the special unique touches Paul added to our day and they just loved Paul as a person! He ensured he went round and spoke to all of our guests, got to know them, took the time to ensure everyone felt special and involved in our day (which as the bride and groom is difficult to do so just by Paul doing that just made it that bit more special!)”
“Our day would not have been as perfect as it was without Paul! He is outstanding at his profession and I never thought I would find someone who gives you so much time to help you make sure everything is spot on! All the little extras he provides are just absolutely fantastic and quite simply invaluable!”
“Our wedding was everything we had hoped and a million times more, and thats all thanks to Paul. I don’t know anyone who deserves an award more! I would recommend him to all our friends in the future for their weddings! He is world class!”
“We would just like to thank him again for his support and for being a part of our magical day.”
