Testimonials

28/07/2018 | Shooters Hill Hall, Shropshire

"The whole day was a huge success and this was helped along by your professionalism, attention to detail and positivity. It felt like nothing was too much trouble and despite being very busy you calmly dealt with any requests that were made. There is no doubt in my mind that you played a key part in the day and, quite frankly, I'm not sure how we would have managed without you.

We have so many happy memories to store away to reflect on both today and in the future."

"Amazing service. James hosted our wedding in May and did an amazing job!. From pre wedding ideas and organisation that we hadn't thought about, James had thought of it all. He ensured everything ran smoothly and even organised the caterers and photographers so we could just sit back, relax and enjoy our day. Everybody commented on what a great job he did...Thank you James"

20/05/2017 | Taj Palace, Wolverhampton

"We was looking for a wedding dj, and James completely exceeded the expectations of a dj. His knowledge, research and organisation of every aspect of our wedding was unbelievable. He had a big task on his hands with mine and my wife's laid back attitude and we are so glad we had someone like James to think of the things we had missed out.

He came to the wedding rehearsal and even to the church to help out with proceedings at the church.

James clearly has a passion for wedding hosting which is why he is so good.

We wish you all the best in the future and every success.

Nicky and Sarah x"

06/05/2017 | Chateau Impney, Worcestershire

"We were looking for a general wedding DJ for our wedding on 6th may 17. we found James by browsing through online and reading reviews. Our first contact with James was absolutely brilliant, he was very polite, easy to talk to and very helpful as we had no experience in booking DJs before. James listened to everything we wanted and even thought of the things we hadn’t. We decided not only to book James for DJ but also as our Master of Ceremonies and we definitely don't regret this decision. James met us on numerous occasions at our wedding venue and really got involved with the wedding organisers and even gave us some brilliant ideas. His attention to detail I can not put into words but he became like my wedding God. He was on the end of the phone at anytime we needed him, and no question no matter how silly he would answer it. James is very knowledgable, I felt like he made our wedding personal. On the actual day James arrived super early helped set up with everything and was even there for us as bride and groom if we needed anything. He had a smile on his face all day and night. The DJ set up was very compact and tidy. We wanted a projection light that he had have done especially for us, nothing seemed impossible with James. and the day ran smoothly.I'm sorry if I’ve forgotten anything James as you really did go and beyond your duties, and we will be forever grateful to you that you made our wedding day special. thank you Mr and Mrs Cooper"

10/12/2016 | Deer Park Hall, Worcestershire

"James is brilliant!

From the very first time we met to go through exactly what we wanted to happen on the wedding day...to then exceeding already high expectations (based on his great reviews) on the actual day itself, he is excellent value for money.

James quite literally did all the running around in the background on our wedding day so that we could sit back and enjoy everything. Organising people for photos, engaging with guests, syncing up with our saxophone player, silencing the room for announcements/speakers, ushering people in to the correct rooms for first dances, speeches etc. I for one was very particular about the finer details of the planning but James took on board everything and executed it brilliantly, making sure we stayed on track so that the day would run smoothly.

Oh...and then he was a great DJ too!!! We gave him our playlist of must haves and they were all played alongside other songs that fit the theme we wanted. He is also not afraid to give advice e.g. leaving arch at midnight.

He really contributed significantly to making the day a success and would recommend him to anyone."

26/11/2016 | Hope Village Hall, Shropshire

"James help make our special. Day very good a day to remember. He arrived early and helped set up he was friendly and extremely helpful,he helped our day run smoothly and he was very professional at all times,we would definitely recommend him to our friends and family."

08/10/2016 | Horseshoe Cottage Farm, Cropston, Leicestershire

"James was brilliant from start to finish, making a site visit and talking to us about what we wanted then setting up the day before the event and being available throughout the whole event to provide music for the whole day as well as the disco in the evening. James is an excellent DJ, very intuitive to the needs of a multi-age audience in relation to music selection and as a consequence had us all dancing all night - a really brilliant "do" which everyone absolutely loved."

24/09/2016 | Ettington Chase Hotel, Warwickshire

"James was the DJ for our wedding celebration party following our destination ceremony. He was excellent! From helping set up our room (he has some great lighting) to getting everyone on the dancefloor, he made the night unforgettable. He was very friendly, even to my many family members countless requests! Certainly recommend. Thank you James!"

20/08/2016 | Fawsley Hall Hotel, Northamptonshire

"James was excellent. Always available and willing to give advice and help us with anything regarding the wedding. Very friendly and approachable. His website also allows you to add the songs you want him to play which is very user friendly. Would definitely recommend him to anyone."

30/07/2016 | Poundon House, Oxfordshire

"James you were fantastic from the 1st phone call, venue visit, help with all the forms, music choices for every stage of the wedding, setting up the day before, lighting at the venue, master of ceromonys and DJ for the evening!! I couldn't fault you at all with your knowledge, passion, commitment and presentation of the wedding. I would 100% recommend James Ross for any wedding or event. I will be keeping his number to pass on to others. We both would like to thank you James for making our day so special and making us feel comfortable all the way through the process. James your a star and feel free to pass my number any day for references!! Thank you again Mr and Mrs Veitch."

07/05/2016 | Hose Village Hall, Leicestershire

"Could not be more grateful for James, we needed a DJ last minute and he more than DJ'd; he helped to set up, organise our guests, ensure that everything ran smoothly and on time (despite the bride being late!) We even caught him helping to cleat up rubbish throughout the day! He went above and beyond to help make our day special! Thank you James!"

02/04/2016 | Shooters Hill Hall, Shropshire

28/11/2015 | Sketchley Grange, Leicestershire

"To James, where can I start, you were fantastic. The day was so great and ran so smoothly and this was in no small part down to you.

You really couldn't of done any more. Starting at 6.30am to help set up tables to being last out of the hotel after midnight.

We would recommend you to anyone we hear who is getting married. So professional. Thanks so much, Steve & Paula Gollings"

14/11/2015 | Eastington Park, Gloucestershire

"James was the only one who went to the extra effort to call me to find out about my day, my plan and introduce himself and that really shone out to me. He went that little bit extra and I like that. Throughout all the planning, James was very much involved or there when I needed him. James asked lots of questions about our music plan and most of it, it didn't even cross my mind how important they were so he was a very good guide for this.

On the day, well he was just fantastic. He arrived well in advance, set up and was involved with the preparation. Once the day begun, it was all go go go, but he helped us all out by organising everyone for photos, wedding breakfast etc. He's very assertive, efficient, polite and friendly and I literally can't thank him enough. I have already recommended him to several people getting married next year.

If you are looking for a DJ, then definitely book James Ross. I cannot fault him and his work ethic is just outstanding. Really great person and price is amazing. I certainly will be booking him in for future events. Thanks James! Your the best!"

17/10/2015 | Swan Hotel, Gloucestershire

"Dear James, Now that we are back from our honeymoon, we wanted to send a quick note to say a very big THANK YOU!!!! You were absolutely fantastic on our wedding day, and it was so reassuring to know you were there making it all run so smoothly! We were so impressed with how much thought and preparation you put into the day and how passionate you are about what you do.

Our guests kept telling us how well organised it all was and they clearly loved your music! We had such a wonderful time, and know that it only went so smoothly because of all of your hard work!

Thanks again, and I do hope our paths cross again in the future (perhaps at our Silver Wedding Anniversary!!) With best wishes, Helen and Chris.xxxx"

28/08/2015 | Wroxeter Hotel, Shrewsbury

"We could not have had a anyone better than James to provide his services as both MC, DJ and organiser for our wedding last year, sorry we should have provided this review sooner. He was not only helpful throughout but listened to what we wanted in terms of tracks played and being the host during the day, far better than the venue itself could have provided. No hesitation in recommending him for any couple young and older (as we are)

18/04/2015 | Wedding, Isla Gladstone, Liverpool

"James Ross was incredible. From first point of contact, James was very professional and took note of every part of our wedding. He was maticulous to every detail which assured us that he was going to do a great job. Actually could not have wished for any one better. We had several DJs contact us but none took the time to get to know us and what we wanted for our day as much as he did. We had guests telling us how he was very quick to respond to guest requests and was able to fit most in. Highly recommend James. If you want your event to run smoothly & keep your guests highly entertained he is worth every penny."

28/03/2015 | Standard Triumph Club, Coventry

"James was a brilliant DJ. For his music and for his kind and caring attitude as he saw me struggling with chairs and he helped/took them off me like a gentleman. His music he played was spot on what everyone wanted although it was a short set. He provided us with a wireless microphone and even joined in with some of our gags and jokes. Lovely person and a brilliant DJ. Would book again!"

12/12/2014 | Wedding, Duston Conservative Club, Northampton

05/12/2014 | Fordhouses Cricket Club, Wolverhampton

"I received an email from James Ross through the needadisco.com search site, local to the area James provided us with a package and aligned this to meet our budget requirements. Throughout the process James was warm, friendly and took his time to ensure that the party was as tailor made and personal as possible, giving options for specific special songs etc. we were able to be quite specific with the song choices and he didn't disappoint... We had a varied mix of 80s music which brought back lots of memories for the happy couple. James also MCd throughout the evening, combining both the important (buffet opening ha) punctuated with special messages and well wishes. James made an already lovely evening just that little bit better by being as through and personable as possible. I would highly recommend James Ross for all disco/MC needs... Thank you very much James"

19/07/2014 | Wedding, Belle Vue Royal Hotel, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion

"Brilliant. Didn't realise how useful a DJ would be for the whole day. Same with the position of master of ceremony, definitely you need someone independent from the venue and definitely you need someone experienced. James was great, he went out of his way for us, and I don't think our day would have been as good without him."

"James is highly recommended. You usually meet the DJ just before and then that's it but it isn't like that with James. He wants to help down to the smallest details and coordinates between the venue and everybody to make our wedding special. I can't emphasise enough what a fantastic job he did and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again in the future."

"James was fantastic. He was extremely helpful and polite at all times. We arrived at the venue very late so James very kindly offered to help decorate the room with us which was a huge help. Without his work ethic, knowledge and expertise the room would not have been ready or look as good as it did. His equipment was second to none and the lighting he provided was fantastic. It was placed all around the room which really made a difference. I would not hesitate to recommend James to anyone and if I was to organise another event I would only want him as our DJ."
