How Important is Your Wedding Entertainement?

I was exhibiting at the Tinto House Hotel Wedding show on Sunday. Having DJ’d / entertained, provided Mood Lighting and been a guest there, I feel I’m in a good position to make the comment… it’s a beautiful venue with really friendly and efficient staff.

Whilst there on Sunday, a bride & groom to be commented that they hadn’t booked their entertainment yet, it was the last thing on their list!

Of course, as a DJ who specializes in Weddings, I’m of the opinion that your entertainment should be near the top of your list.

A DJ or a band plays such a huge part of your big day. Your dream first dance can quickly become a nightmare. The vivacious party you envisaged your guests having has the potential to be a damp squib. The success of your reception is a huge responsibility for your band or DJ.

It’s vital that you choose carefully and book in advance. We often take bookings for 2 and 3 years down the line. We’ve even got 2 bookings for 2016!

At Disco Therapy, we are fully aware of how important our role is in your big day... and we don’t take that responsibility lightly! 

If you’ve taken the time to read this, thank you! And, we’d love to hear from you, please leave your comments.

Have you had a great or terrible DJ or Band?

Oh What a Night... With Chitterybite!

I’ve had the absolute pleassure of working with many bands whilst DJing / entertaining at weddings. However, few have been as much fun as Chitterybite ceilidh band!

I’ve always thought that a disco and ceilidh compliment eachother perfectly. I  often call ceilidh dances when the client hasn’t book a band, but you can’t beat the real thing.

The Chitterybite Ceilidh Band have an established track record operating as a ceilidh collective providing top quality traditional musicians for corporate and private ceilidh dance events, Scottish evenings, weddings and Burns Suppers.

Like me, they place great importance on their role as callers and every Chitterybite Lineup features this important individual who helps instruct with the dances and entertains the dancers with some good crack!

Quite simply, they are fantastic fun!

So, if you want to have your wedding guests groovin’ to disco and jigging to ceilidh, book the perfect combination – www.discotherapy.com & www.chitterybite.com

ttttt, Time Warp

It's not to everyone's taste, which is why I always have a pre wedding disco / DJ consultation, but why not have a bit of fun and teach yourself all the moves to The Time Warp?

At the end of the day, what is a wedding, it's a celebration, so why not have a ball and don't take yourself too seriouslywhilst you're at it.

Go on, make it your dirty secret...

But I'll be testing that you know all the moves when I see you!

Joys of The Job - Eastwood House

Part of the fun of my job as a wedding DJ / Entertainer is meeting a wide variety of people.

I get to meet all sorts of characters throughout Glasgow, Lanarkshire & Lotian. Of course, I always hope that I do my job well enough that I’ll meet them again i.e., they’ll book my disco services again!

That’s looking at it from a business point of view, but there’s some people I want to meet again, just because they’re really good people.

As part of my Wedding DJ & Mood Lighting service, I meet clients for a pre-wedding consultation. When I first met Marty & Donna Scott for their pre-wedding consultation, I was immediately taken by what genuinely nice people they were.

This made DJing at their wedding at Eastwood House all the more satisfying. It was a fantastic night, with the dancefloor being full from beginning to end.

I feel the more personal touch really makes a difference… Of course I would say that!

I was over the moon it went so well for such a beautiful couple. Congratulations Donna & Marty, a couple I’ll definitely keep in touch with

Best Band In Glasgow?

I’ve had the opportunity to work with some fantastic bands over the years, but I’d never looked forward to working with one as much as BigVern & the Shootahs.

Two weeks ago, in The Glasgow Hilton, there were two stages setup in the main ballroom. One stage was for me and the other... Big Vern & the Shootahs.

I’d heard the reviews, read the client testimonials and watched the youtube videos, which is why I so eagerly anticipated this party.

They did not disappoint!

Even when I was doing my sound checks, their lead guitarist started jamming along to AC/DC’s You Shook Me All Night Long, which was blaring from my PA.

They played crowd pleaser after crowd pleaser, to the point where people were sprinting to the dance floor to boogie along to the soul & funk infused setlist.

Often when I work with a band, I take the opportunity to  have a bite to eat or chill out backstage somewhere, but my eyes were glued to the stage when Big Vern & the Shootahs were playing. I even came away with one or two ideas!

If you get the opportunity to see them or book them... Do it!

Wedding Show - Georgian Hotel

Just a quick blog tonight.

I’ll be exhibiting at the wedding faire at the Georgian Hotel tomorrow. I’ll be demoing my mood lighting and will be handing out Teach Yourself the Time Warp & Macarena postcards!

Last time I entertained at a wedding at the Georgian, I Mood lit the room Blue, it was truly stunning...

But of course I’m going to say that!

Come along and have a chat, even if you’ve got another venue in mind.
