Wedding DJ London, The Horniman Museum, Simon and Catherine


Simon and Catherine come from two families from either end of the world. Simon's from here in England and Catherine's from Tasmania! So yesterday's wedding had very defiinite Aussie and English flavours, and they combined beautifully despite many guests travelling thousands of miles to be there.

Following our prevent consultation I was asked to

  • plan and play music for the ceremony

  • mobile PA at a second location for drinks and canapes

  • background music to the wedding breakfast

  • party DJ for the evening reception celebration

  • moodlighting to the venue

  • announcements as necessary

  • a big screen TV

The Horniman has a very well known Walrus, amongst many other great exhibits and guests were encouraged to take selfies and after posting to Twitter, FB etc they were mailed to me and then I edited them for a screenshow on my TV screen by the booth (see above). Below is the winning entry.

Despite it being a redhot day (we were in a conservatory!) the celebration was very active and the dance floor action good all night. Aside from some special requests the guests responded strongly to some good traditional party bangers - see the playlist at the end. We also had an Aussie influenced section which was characterised by a special Ausie line dance performed, and led by Catherine the bride, to Tina Turner's Nutbush City Limits - see the video below.

The playlist for the day was
