DJ Alan Matthews
About me.. I started as a mobile DJ in Dorchester, progressing on to large night clubs in Weymouth until moving to Cardiff to marry a beautiful welsh bride. Since then I have worked in most of the popular wedding venues across South Wales for the last 20+ years.
Back up equipment is carried to all functions so the party can continue.
Bands. I love working with bands, below is a typical evening working with a band:
7.00pm - 8.00pm DJ warm up.
8.00pm - 9.00pm Band 1st set.
9.00pm - 9.30pm Evening buffet DJ.
9.30pm - 10.30pm Band 2nd set.
10.30pm - 12.00 DJ.

Dress code is always suit and tie.
E-mails are the preferred communications if possible, as it provides a clear and concise paper trail that protects both you and me against any future confusion.
Green Credentials. The sound systems are digital and very energy efficient. All the lighting features high powered LED's but use very small amounts of electricity, in fact the whole disco uses less than 10% of the power compared to discos from 10 years ago!
Music playlist are welcome, all your personal favourites, family and friends dedications etc... plus I am happy to take request on the night.
Party planner. The planner covers all the fine details, your music request, wall uplighting colour, event timings etc.... this ensures everything runs smoothly and professionally.
Prices. My prices vary from time to time with promotions etc.. but the price on booking is the price to pay.
Photographs. Pictures of the event are only posted on my Facebook page with prior permission and agreement from the bride and groom. There is a yes or no tick box on the wedding party planner.
Public liability insurance, P.A.T test and risk assessment certificates are held and available on request, these can usually be emailed directly to your venue wedding coordinator.
Sound and lighting. Only professional grade sound and lighting equipment is used.
Travel expenses, there normally isn't any travel cost unless it was exceptionally far away (50+ miles away) and even then it would only be a minimal contribution towards petrol costs.
Venue changes. If you are changing your venue from the one originally booked, please let me know asap, as it is at my discretion whether I perform at the new venue.
Important. Please return the signed booking form and deposit as soon as possible as the day is not officially booked until I have received both, thank you.
