Hey look what I’ve got!
DJ Mark is a quality assessment for UK mobile discos. I had never really looked at it until this week and I joined immediately, it’s a great way of showing our commitment to doing things the right way.

I originally started this video as a reply to a video Ellaskins (Jonathan) did on the DJ Tutor www.djtutor.com site asking DJ’s to share tips on how to make New Years Eve a success. So I gathered my thoughts and added some footage from my NYE gig and this is the result.
Although it’s based on New Years Eve I believe it is still relevant to all the function work any DJ does.
I think you’ll find stuff of interest whether you are another DJ or a potential client. It’s all about attention to detail – don’t just blag it – think about it in advance and plan it.
Please post your feedback, give it a thumbs up, and subscribe if you’d like me to continue with these videos.
Cheers, Paul

I have a lot of catching up to do between now and then – whenever that is! In the meantime here’s some inspiration for any of you dancers out there, or couple thinking about the first dance for their Wedding …
By the way, I hope to be launching full details soon of the first dance package I’ll be offering for couples who want some help planning something special for their Wedding – that’s right The Party DJ have their own choreographer!
Here’s my second video of thoughts which may help when planning a Wedding – or any function with a band or disco.
Before you watch I just want to say I don’t have all the answers – but what I’m trying to do with these videos is share my experience and give you food for thought.
Also, I’m not really this grumpy – honest ;o)
Anyway, here it is. Please let me have your feedback. It would be great if you give the video a thumbs up on YouTube, and you may wish to check out our other videos.
This is the first in, what I hope to be, a series of videos of my thoughts and ideas on how to make your Wedding Party special.

If your planning a Wedding, Tuesdays has been a great night for TV over recent months – today is no exception! Starting at 9pm on Living ( Sky 112 & Virgin 109 – and HD for posh people) is Four Weddings, where four brides generally make a total mess of their big day … maybe that’s a bit harsh.
It’s a great format where the four brides get to go to each others wedding and score it, the bride with the best score wins a fabulous honeymoon. In the past the programme has focused on UK and US brides, the new series is four brides from four different countries. * Well the first week was – this weeks episode was all UK Brides again.
You’ll find repeats of old shows throughout the week on Living – beware it’s addictive. You may get some ideas, you’ll definitely learn from their mistakes.

Here’s another Wedding video from earlier this year. Please remember, these videos are just a bit of fun – we don’t do videos, we do disco’s!
Keith and George got married on 31st July at Elmer’s Court in Lymington. It’s a beautiful venue and the team hosting the Wedding did a fabulous job. CLICK HERE to find out more about Weddings at Elmer’s Court.
We took the whole show for this one, friends of the happy couple had collected photo’s and booked our screens as a surprise. You’ll see we had photo’s of the Bride & Groom as children, teenagers, right up to date, including pictures of their Hen and Stag nights so that all their guests could see what they got up to. We also added some pictures taken earlier in the day so that evening guests could get a flavour of the ceremony.
Keith and George have only just got back from an extended honeymoon, which is my excuse for not editing this footage sooner!
Last Saturday we played at Nathan and Laura’s party at Hamworthy Club.
The event was a pre-wedding party, Nathan and Laura are getting married in Mexico at the end of the month and wanted to celebrate before they went because when they get back everything will be ‘Christmassy’. The theme colours for the party were orange and silver, so we set the uplighting to orange for the early part of the evening.
It was a very relaxed evening. At our planning meeting it was decided there should be no fuss, no speeches, just a chance for everyone to get together for a chat and a dance later on.
Unfortunately we didn’t get an invite to play at their Wedding in Mexico :o(
All the best for 26th November – looking forward to seeing some pictures – glasses raised – Nathan & Laura – Cheers!
I’m sorry if anyone has been checking this blog and has been frustrated by the lack of new content… but I’m back! Most of my attention has been on the GOLD HAMPSHIRE BLOG CLICK HERE – my retro project with Steve, I have loads of plans for this blog and I’m going to try and get things going again … so fingers crossed!
Over the last few months I’ve shot quite a lot of video at various events, and I’m just starting to go through it so there should be a few more posts over the coming weeks.
First up, Kim and Ian’s Wedding at Careys Manor in The New Forest from Saturday 18th September. Kim has been a friend of my wife and I for many years and I was delighted to be asked to DJ for her big day. They also invited us to share the whole day with them as you’ll see from the video. It was a fantastic day – the weather was beautiful, the venue is terrific, and Kim and Ian’s family and friends were fabulous.
I didn’t take as much footage as I’d have liked (Joe was off doing his own thing) so I’ve “borrowed” some pictures from Kim’s Facebook page.
