DJ On Drums played at our wedding in June. Booking was seamless and he contacted us straight away. He was easy to talk to and was very happy to take requests both before the wedding and on the wedding day. We asked him to do us a pop punk/rock playlist and he smashed it on the night and it went down really well! We had a last minute cancellation with a wedding breakfast singer and he ended up coming earlier on short notice to play a few chilled sets. The dance floor was chocker all night and everyone loved the percussion sets! It really brought a funky, fun vibe that everyone loved! I couldn't thank DJ On Drums enough for making our wedding so special and memorable! I know I have a few friends who have already taken his details for their weddings! Thank you so much again!!
