Hi Colin,
I would just like to say thank you so much for being the DJ at our wedding. Not many people are lucky enough to receive a professional, supportive and above all consultative service from a wedding DJ. Ben and I and all of our friends thought you were fantastic and I personally thought you were very supportive on the lead up to the day and more importantly on the night.

Thank you for your professionalism and I will most certainly recommend you to anyone I know who needs a DJ in the up and coming future.

Warmest regards

Lyndsay and Ben (Wedding 30th August 2008, Bamburgh Castle)

Whether you just want the evening Disco or a full-day package I will help personalise the day to you, can offer support, help and planning advice if required and am always on hand to help in the run up to your special day as well as on the day itself.

I provide a Premium service, aimed at the discerning clients who want the very best service for their special day.

Photo with kind permission from www.g-photography.co.uk proceedings more effective, your venue more attractive and your memories more vivid!

I do things differently to many other DJs. YOU are the star of the show, and my job is to help you give your guests a night that they will remember with great memories. The best nights are those where the guests leave still singing and dancing! I have entertained at Weddings for 20 people up to 400 people, and always use the most suitable equipment and style for the requirements of the event and the client. I am well-spoken with a clear, easily understood voice. I don't dominate your event as many DJs do, instead I help and support you, and adapt my interaction to your requirements.

With the level of pre-event contact to suit you, we can help to smooth out many of the worries you may have about your wedding celebrations. The level of service I give to my clients has quickly made Colin's Disco one of the most popularRob and Claire's Beautiful First Dance for their Wedding at Jesmond Dene House 19 06 2009 Wedding Disco specialists in the North East, and a consistent recommendation from many prestigious venues.

There is a lot of information on this page and I pride myself on customising exactly the service YOU want, so please browse through, call or e-mail, or why not take advantage of my no-obligation offer of a meeting to discuss your requirements. I can then prepare a detailed quotation for you.

Your wedding is the most special day of your life, and you have planned it to the last detail. The Dress, Cake, Flowers, Location - everything has to be perfect on the day. Yet even after all this planning, many couples either leave the Disco till the last moment, or book the cheapest one they can find, regardless of quality, equipment or attitude. They then wonder why, after the excitement of the day, the ceremony and beauty, their guests leave feeling that they haven't had the best possible time. With Colin's Disco you can rest assured that I will do all I can to help your reception go as successfully as possible! We provide a professional, reliable Wedding Disco, offering a quality service.

Mobile Discos frequently gain a bad reputation due to unprofessional behaviour, poor reliability, messy, poorly maintained equipment, and 'attitude'. I have builtColin with David & Sarah 08 08 2008, last minute brief on First Dance my reputation as a Specialist Wedding DJ by bringing to the Mobile Disco industry the same levels of service you would expect from top Wedding Suppliers . This attitude and attention to detail has not only delighted clients past and present, but also assures me of a warm welcome in venues across the North East. My wedding services are particularly welcome in such illustrious venues as Auckland Castle, Durham Castle, Alnwick Castle, Alnwick Garden, Blackfriars Restaurant, Eslington Villa and many more. In fact wherever we perform venues and clients comment on our totally professional attitude and great service!

Some venues have a 'Resident DJ' whom they 'sell on' to their clients and this can be a big risk. Of course some Resident DJs are excellent, but why take that risk? Don't be pushed into having who the venue want - it's your wedding day - you should have that choice! Another benefit of choosing your own DJ is the chance to get to know each other beforehand, and share information and stories which can personalise the night totally to you.As well as the evening Disco I can provide mood lighting and discreet sound system for your ceremony too

With Colin nothing is left to chance. Frequent pre-event contact, help with music choice, First Dance or Formal Exit, I will do all I can to help. With your Booking Pack is an Event Guide which helps you to set out the format for your evening, so that we get the timings right. I also supply a Wedding Checklist which keeps me informed of the timeline, important guests and anything else to make your night truly memorable. I have an excellent sound system, fantastic lighting and use smart silver truss. I take time to get to know my Brides and Grooms before the event wherever possible, and weddings are usually great fun and highlyWhether you want a large club-style night or small and discreet, I can match your requirements successful, as a browse though the Photo Gallery will show. So whether its a full day affair, an evening Disco, or a small, select gathering I can provide the perfect choice of music, equipment and service to suit your needs.

I enjoy participating in the more unusual weddings too. Recently I performed at a wedding for a lovely couple in Hatfield College, Durham University, where the music was heavily centred on Rock, Punk & Ska. The Bride & Groom had even practiced the 'Twist Competition' from the film 'Pulp Fiction' as their First Dance! Whether you want full on 'American Style' interaction with mini-bio introductions for all the Bridal Party, Master of Ceremony, or a discreet, laid-back style, I am happy to help make your dream happen.

Kate & Kris, 6th September 2008, Marriott Royal County, DurhamMany DJs have one setup which is used for every type of event. I have a wide range of equipment and decide on what is best to use at each individual venue, in conjunction with your dream. Although many clients want a standard Disco setup, I welcome your input, and more and more clients are opting for something a little different. Wherever possible I visit the venue in advance to introduce myself, leave copies of any paperwork (PAT & PLI etc) and 'survey' the room. I use the most appropriate equipment for each individual event. I am happy to discuss with you what YOU want. You can either leave it up to me, or provide your own input. Some clients want a very small, discreet lighting system, whilst others want a full on 'club experience'. I always aim to please!

I can also supply a small PA system for background music in a different room, or with Radio Microphone for the speeches. Want some Mood Lighting too? No problem, I can supply some lovely LED lights which give a lovely effect to any room or marquee, but they also run very cool so there is no danger of anyone getting burnt, or of the heat from them being uncomfortable. I also offer a range of projection services for you to share your day with your evening guests, share memories from your past, photos from your wedding if you were married abroad, or even of those loved ones who are unable to attend. Please visit the relevant pages from the menu or ask for more details. For couples having a Civil Ceremony consider having a fully managed Ceremony Music service, using quality equipment to play the music want at your ceremony, played at the right time, in the right order. This really adds a quality dimension to your ceremony, rather than the rather naff piped music or a small ghetto-blaster being stop-started.

(these 3 photos shown with kind permission of Forever Memories)

Shown above is my latest addition, a gorgeous 6m x 3m Starcloth, which is ideal for hiding an unsightly area or just for providing a beautiful backdrop for your Top Table, or a fantastic border to the dancefloor in some venues. Available for hire. On this occasion it quite literally saved the day, as the weather was so awful outside it was virtually impossible to get all the necessary photographs, so my Starcloth was used instead! As you can see, I do my very best to cover all the bases and help provide everything you might need on your Special Day!
