Sam was super responsive from day one, right up until our wedding day. He matched the vibe we wanted and played songs from our list throughout the day. The photobooth add-on with him was an absolute hit with our guests too!

Meet your Essex Wedding DJ
Hello I am a professional wedding DJ in Essex with over 20 years' experience. I have always loved music and it always played a huge part in my life. At a young age I would record directly from the radio making my own cassette tapes. Fast forward to when I started driving at 17, I would make mix CDs and people would want me to make a copy for them. I then started my club life as a promoter then a light jockey learning lots on the way and watching DJs like EZ. I then started learning the craft with warm up sets and fast became a full time resident at several clubs and bars. One of the highlights is having a sets directly after high profile DJs and acts like chase and status. I gained experience in many genres which has helped me make a natural progression to weddings and parties in Essex and Suffolk. My passion now is helping couples create the ultimate playlist for their perfect wedding, leaving guests well and truly exhilarated. Whether you want guaranteed floorfillers, Kisstory or maybe something a little different, I will help you create and customise the perfect playlist for your big day. I firmly believe that excellent wedding entertainment is an essential component of every wedding and something that will make your special day be remembered for a lifetime. With my back ground of clubs I can bring wedding entertainment into the 21st century by mixing the music together seamlessly and let the music do the talking. The most common addition to my events now is a Sax player. I have worked with several different sax players and am lucky enough to be friends with the Best Sax players in the Essex wedding scene. If you’re looking to hire a professional Essex Wedding DJ to deliver a party atmosphere that will be remembered by all, let's discuss how I can complement your dream wedding.
What Couples Say
Sarah & Guillermo
“Sam was amazing at our wedding this weekend. Not just a DJ but general all round problem solver extraordinaire! We had such a diverse group of guests both ages and cultures so the fact the dance floor was full all night is testament to how much of a great job he did. Also very successfully orchestrated our game of pass the parcel which was amazing fun 😁. Thanks again.
Mr & Mrs Wheeler
“Samuel was incredible on our wedding day. The music was amazing and he really took all the best songs we loved and made it into such a memorable evening. He was so professional but also so lovely and easy going. The way he introduced to the dance floor to encouraging people to dance, he was perfection. Something special to us is my brother is autistic and germaphobic so he struggles in big social gatherings but he really came out and absolutely loved the music and danced the night away with friends and family. That was a memory we will never forget and it’s all thanks to Sam. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding or any event, look no further because Sam is perfect!.”

Are you insured ?Yes I have Public Liability Insurance (PLI) to the value of £10million and my equipment is Portable Appliance Tested (PAT). The documents are found on the contact page above.
-
How much is the deposit?The deposit is £100 unless stated otherwise. The remaining balance is to be paid the day before the event unless agreed upon.
-
How do I pay?I accept bank transfer and you will receive an invoice for proof of payment.
-
Do you charge VAT ?I'm not VAT registered currently so the price I quote is the price you pay, no hidden charges.
-
Do you take requests?Yes, I'm more than happy to play any requests (providing that I have them and they are suitable) on the day or work with you before hand to get an idea of the music you would like to be played. I create a private spotify link for you to add as many or little tracks as you wish to have during your event.
-
Do you provide an invoice or contract?Yes always. This is for piece of mind that you are booking a professional service and proof of the deposit and agreement put in place.
-
How will you be dressed?I always wear a smart suit trousers and a shirt with tie minimum for weddings. Smart wear for other functions unless specifically requested otherwise. Either way I will be appropriately dressed for each occasion.
-
What are your power requirements at the venue?I require two 13amp plug sockets in close proximity to where the DJ booth and system is to be setup (preferably an maximum of 5 metres). If the power is outside in a marquee, the power should not be shared with any other appliance i.e. fridge.
-
What time would you setup?I work with you and the venue to make sure there is no disruption on your special occasion. Also a time to pack away would be required which I can arrange with you and the venue. It takes roughly an hour to setup depending on the distance between my vehicle and the setup area and the same to pack away again. The setup time also may increase depending on the other service you include i.e. photo booth or letters etc
-
On the night will you be able to play for longer than originally requested?Yes certainly if the venue allows it. However there would be a charge and I would advise you run this by the venue before requesting it from me. I would prefer to know before hand as I may have other commitments ie collecting a photo booth from another venue. This allows me to provide you with the time you may request with no issues. All payments for aditional time MUST be paid before hand also.
-
Can we use your microphone for any of our announcents or speeches?Yes thats not a problem but please specify before hand so I can make sure I have the wireless microphone with me and fully charged. Note: My system can only be used by myself when I am present due to the value of the equipment I use. However for a small fee I can provide a speaker and wired mircorphone or wireless microphone that can be used without me being present.
-
Can we see you DJ before we book?If you are lucky enough to be a part of a wedding I am Djing then yes. The best way to see my work is through instagram and reading customer reviews. www.instagram.com/djsamuelhann
