The Bentley - Next time I’ll bring the camera!

I was back in the Bentley Hotel Motherwell at the weekend. Unfortunately I wasn’t in DJing as I’ve been on a short self-imposed sabbatical from spinning the tunes, which will officially end on Friday!

I went in to set-up mood lighting for a wedding there. In a previous post I spoke about how much I’d always wanted to DJ at the Bentley. Well, the same can be said for Mood lighting it.

I finally got the opportunity to Mood Light it, and… forgot my camera!

I was gutted, but I hope I’ll have the opportunity to mood light it again soon. In fact, I hope to be working with the Bentley a lot more next year and beyond.

Joy, the manager their, is a joy to work with. Please excuse the pun there!

If you’re thinking about having a wedding in the Lanarkshire area, it’s well worth going to check out The Bentley in Motherwell. You get fantastic value for money, delicious food and super efficient and friendly service.

Next time I’ll bring the camera!

Memories Matter

Fiona & David's Wedding - Alona Hotel Lanarkshire

I was having a look through some pictures from last year's wedding disco's and I stumbled upon the one above.

It was taken at the Alona Hotel in Strathclyde Park Lanarkshire. It really is a beautiful venue, especially the marquee, which we were in that night. The white walls of the marquee lend themselves ideally to Mood Lighting.

The picture got me thinking about my caption / company slogan - Memories Matter, which will feature more heavily of the new Disco Therapy website.

I take great pride and put a tremendous amount of time, money and effort into ensuring Brides and Grooms have a wedding reception to remember for all the right reasons.

However, Fiona & David's wedding was particularly memorable for me too. We had a fantastic night from beginning to end, going through the genres. From The Time Frequency to The Time Warp, it was just a fantastic celebration of a wonderful couple.

I'm delighted to say I'll see Fiona & David again at Caroline & Dougie's wedding at the Parkville in Uddingston next year.

Get you dancing shoes on and your glow sticks ready!

Tonight Your DJ Is...

My good friend Stephen McCann, AKA Flatsteve recently got the below snap of me when I was DJing at a wedding. The wedding was in Largs, which is just outside Glasgow and just inside civilisation!

The picture captures me in full flow during the party. As you can tell, I'm certainly not a DJ who stand motionless behind my decks.

My ethos is, if I'm not enjoying myself then nobody else will.

Feel free to print the picture off to keep the kids away from the fireplace! 

Pretty in Pink - Stunning Mood Lighting

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!
