1. Last night a D.J. saved my life

A great DJ is like a walking encyclopaedia of the best songs from the 1950s to the present day. They know the classics that fill the dance floor, whether you’ve got a gathering of family spanning three generations, or a group of your friends who share pretty much the same birth year.

“Just want to say a huge thank you for our wedding entertainment. Gerry was absolutely wonderful and played everything we wanted and even his own choices were just what we liked. Everyone said what a fantastic selection of music it was; they all enjoyed it as much as we did.”

Happy couple who booked one of DJ Martin’s best wedding DJs.
