“I was passed on Craig’s details by a close friend. We wanted someone who knows music, understands the importance of the music on the wedding day an understood what we wanted. Craig was fantastic, kept in touch leading up to the wedding to ensure we were all on the same page. The wedding it’s self couldn’t have gone better, music was great an numerous people commented on it. Dance floor was packed and everyone had a great time, Craig was a genuinely nice guy and we were delighted to have him a part of our special day” The Donald Wedding -  30th December 2013
