everything we imagined and more
Max and I just wanted to say thank you so so so so much for making Sopwell House look absolutely stunning on Saturday. The set up was beautiful - everything we imagined and more. Everyone was in such great spirits - you guys really helped keep the vibes going through the entrance, speeches, cake cutting and first dance, just like we had asked. Thank you so much.

on call everytime we had a request
We dealt with Adam Shilston and he was very easy to deal with and on call everytime we had a request. Everyone complimented the white LED dance floor and DJ they provided, I would recommend to anyone.

We hired the photo-booth & DJ. Service was incredible from start to finish, and kids + adults alike were obsessed by the photo-booth.

Adam and his team were brilliant throughout
We hired a dancefloor and magic mirror from My Big Day Events for our wedding and can highly recommend them. Adam and his team were brilliant throughout the whole process and were extremely accommodating when our original wedding date was impacted by COVID-19. On the day, they provided both high quality products and service leaving us with memories to treasure for a lifetime. We wouldn’t hesitate to use the team again in the future!

Went the extra mile!
My Big Day Events Hertfordshire made our day completely stress-free! They moved our wedding (postponed due to covid) with absolutely no hassle! Adam was in contact regularly and made sure we were happy with everything. When Adam was setting up the venue on the wedding morning, he saw our colour was blue and made the uplighters match our scheme which was an extra touch! I would 100% recommend them and would happily use them for an event in the future!

The Most Magical Day
We used Adam and his team for our wedding on 22 July 2021. From the moment we booked, Adam couldn’t have been more accommodating with all our requests and questions…and there was a lot. At our evening reception, there wasn’t a time the dance floor was empty, real credit to the DJ and knowing exactly what to play when. Is it even a wedding without a photo booth? This was a massive hit and the pictures are just brilliant and will be treasured forever. And the standing light up initials really added an extra special touch to the room. I really can’t recommend Adam and his team more, everything was perfect. Thank you so much!

Frequently Asked Questions
(10)

What is your most memorable wedding?

It has to be an Ibiza themed wedding on a rainy day in Bedfordshire in a circus style tent filmed by BBC ONE's Don't Tell The Bride.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Experienced, Improvised, Unique, Successful, Friendly

What about your business are you most proud of?

It gives me great pride having taken this business from just myself Djing to providing over 500 successful events each year with an amazing team who really are very talented and amazing!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Meet your suppliers or at least have a chat with them on the phone. You will get a feel for experienced, talented, and professional people that isn't possible to work out from reading on the internet!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

We provide a lot of personal touches to our brides and grooms however even they don't find out all of these things until during or after their big day. So i can't reveal our secrets..

Describe your typical process with a couple.

From the initial enquiry, we set out our packages and prices to allow our clients to choose what they think is best based on their budget or discuss a bespoke package to suit them. After this point we like to meet in person because I or one of my wedding DJs are effectively a working guest at your wedding so it's important that you feel that you know us and are comfortable with us so that when you need anything from us on the day you won't hesitate to ask. We also discuss music, running order, first dance, any special announcements, master of ceremony duties, and ideas our couple have. We then confirm the booking and tie up the formalities. Around 1 week before the day we have another refresher chat to ensure nothing has changed or needs adding/amending. We also deal with the venue directly to ensure there are no unexpected surprises and that they know we are coming. We work with almost all the venues in Hertfordshire so this part is easy! That's about everything!

What makes a romantic first dance?

There are so many! Ed Sheeran, Etta James, Sam Smith, Eric Clapton.. I could go on for days.

What is your number one floor-filler?

For every floor filler at one type of event it can be a floor clearer at the next if not timed right or assessed based on the crowd. On a personal note I would say Robin S Show Me Love always gets a great reaction played at the right time!

Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?

Earth Wind and Fire but I'm not talented enough haha

What is the soundtrack to your life?

I'm gonna say Work Hard Play Hard which is by akon and ne-yo
