Arranging a wedding and the reception afterwards can be a stressful affair, but one service that is often overlooked and considered less important than even the table decorations is the Wedding DJ !
The truth is the Wedding DJ provides one of the most sustained services you'll receive on your big day, taking up around four to five hours. It's also the main feature for all of your evening wedding guests who have missed the pomp and ceremony of the daytime's events. So you need to be sure that your evening's DJ entertainment is both professional and experienced...
Ian Scott has played wedding receptions almost non-stop since 1993, when he joined Orsett Hall hotel in Essex as a resident DJ. The hotel being one of the major Essex wedding venues meant that Ian gained fantastic experience in the whole wedding etiquette and presentation field, having been a DJ for over 400 wedding parties. Ian has also worked at top hotels and venues around the South East, including Highlands House, Five Lakes, Stockbrook Manor and Alexandra Palace to name just a few. The fact that Ian has remained the number one resident DJ at Orsett Hall in Essex for thirteen years is recommendation itself of the quality and entertaining service he provides.
So, your wedding day arrives..and what service do you get?
Well, firstly Ian will arrive in good time to set up the equipment. This normally takes around 30-45 minutes depending on the access to the venue, and in some cases the equipment can be set up before the Wedding Breakfast is served (this will need to be pre-arranged). The actual DJ equipment layout is fairly modest in size compared to some, but very neat and tidy. 
Usually the music starts around 7.30pm, just subtle background noises to begin with whilst the evening guests filter in and mingle. Ian will then announce the happy couple to the floor for their First Dance around 8.00-8.30pm, and after that.the party begins!
As with all weddings (and there really are very few exceptions), a wide range of genres are covered during the evening
to keep everyone happy. Ian specialises in the more modern approach (i.e. avoiding Jive Bunny and Black Lace!) and with fantastic sets of 80's Skool Disco, club classics from the 70's to the 00's and a sprinkling of cheesy yet tasteful pop,
your biggest day will be celebrated in style!
It's all rounded off with the huge send-off at the very end of the evening, bringing everyone together for one last manic goodbye!
