Some of my amazing reviews...
- Alan and his son Ruadhan were absolutely amazing at our wedding! They kept the energy high all night, with a perfect mix of music that had everyone on the dance floor. What really stood out was how attentive they were—regularly checking in with us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and having the celebration we dreamed of! Their professionalism and ability to read the crowd made the whole night unforgettable. If you're looking for a DJ team that brings energy, fun, and excellent service, we can't recommend Alan and Ruadhan enough!read moreread lessHannah Mawer14/10/24We recently had the pleasure of having Alan and Ru as our DJ and Master of ceremonies for our wedding at Basing House, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with their services. From the moment the day began, everything ran seamlessly. Alan and Ru handled every detail with professionalism and grace, quickly resolving any issues that arose so we could fully enjoy our special day. One of the highlights was Alan’s beautiful love story, which he read before our first dance. It added a truly magical touch to the evening that our guests still talk about. Their energy and enthusiasm kept the celebration lively, and we are incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication. We can’t thank Alan and Ru enough for making our wedding unforgettable!read moreread lessNicole-Erin Wheatley30/09/24Fantastic all round service: time to discuss ideas with useful suggestions leading to a smoothly sequenced event with a never empty dance floor. Alan and Ru felt like family. Thank you for adding the Polish to the event and making it shineread moreread lessRuth Levitt30/09/24We hired Alan Marshall to be our wedding DJ for our wedding at the start of August this year. We set quite a challenge for Alan, as we have very particular music tastes. So we asked him to curate a 4hr long proper mix for us, of our favourite music (Anjunadeep), involving expertly blending the tracks to create a continuous stream of fully mixed Melodic House Music. We also implemented a strict "No Cheese" and "No Requests" policy. We discussed this thoroughly with Alan before bringing him on-board, to ensure he would be willing and able to do what we needed. Through extensive discussions, he assured us that whilst it is not what is normally requested from him, he was willing and capable to put together a mix for us. Throughout our conversations, Alan exuded complete proffessionality, competence, friendliness and we felt we could fully trust him to pull this off. Although we only required his DJ services, it was clear that he was very experienced in all aspects of the wedding and would have been able to provide additional services to us, had we needed them, which was very reassuring to know that he understood the bigger picture. On the lead up to the day, we were apprehensive as to how the set would pan out, but the trust that Alan had built with us, eased our concerns, allowing us to be sure that it would all work out. On the day, Alan played an astounding set of our favourite music. It was all expertly mixed and it absolutely made the whole night. The dancefloor was always populated and our guests had a great time dancing the night away. So many people commented to us on how good the music and the DJ were. Even our photographers were loving the music. So to summarise, Alan absolutely smashed it. He stepped up to the challenge and really shone as a DJ. He put a lot of time and effort into crafting that set for us and it really showed. The music was so critical to us, so Alan really did make our night and contributed a huge part to creating a perfect day for us. We genuinely cannot recommend Celebrations with Alan Marshall more and can truly vouch for his DJ skills. We also have absolutely no doubt that if we were to use more of his services, he would have been just as successful.read moreread lessAndy Carr01/09/24Worth every penny and more! This man really knows what he is doing, experienced, dedicated and sophisticated. Alan met with us regularly over the run up to our wedding giving us advice when we needed and answers to questions we hadn't known we needed to ask yet! We specifically requested lots of country music and Alan absolutely understood, our guests has a great time and we all felt looked after which was all down to Alan.read moreread lessHannah MT31/08/24
- We hired Alan on the recommendation from someone else. We weren't disappointed! His service was outstanding. He was very professional, very friendly and listened to and acted on our requests. He has a gentle and calming personality, just what you need in the frenzy of wedding planning! All of our guests commented on how good he was. We simply couldn't have asked for better and we are very grateful.read moreread lessSally Lock28/08/24This was going to be a review about a recent wedding Alan and I worked together on just last week at the gorgeous Grand Hotel in Brighton for the wedding of Sally and Phil. Alan recommended Steelasophical and Sally secured our services on the strength of that recommendation and asked us to enhance the pre ceremony and drinks reception with some uplifting Caribbean musical vibes! I could write a lot about that day and working alongside Alan, but I quickly realised this was an opportunity to broaden the scope of my inspired thoughts, praise and recommendation. I first knew of Alan right after he had just won the Wedding DJ of the Year 2019 as part of the National Wedding Industry Awards. We have a highly respected mutual friend in common Tony Winyard who I saw congratulating and singing Alans praises and I knew instantly this was someone I needed to get to know and learn more about, as Tony is not someone who lavishes praise likely!! My instincts are rarely wrong, and since 2019, Alan has proved to be a source of inspiration, fountain of knowledge and someone I consider a friend. I have heard him say that he has been within the industry for over 40 years, There are many who state they have 40 years experience, but what they mean is they have done the same thing over and over again for 40 years (nothing wrong with that. Those are the people you would normally compare purely on how much they will cost you - or as I like to say ‘a nice to have expense”) With Alan though, you can compound that 40 years number several times over in respect to acquired knowledge, learning and experience. The relentless nature of developing new skills and to a high level is staggering - Dj, Compare, MC, Host, Celebrant - and for sure you would be amazed at the impact of one of his newest additions ‘The Love Story’. He writes articles for publications, guests speaks at conventions, travels internationally to attend trade shows, seminars and training camps, attends focus groups, is brand ambassador for one of the leading providers of physical and digital professional licensed music for DJ’s and is literally a source for daily inspiration to others all over the world via his words and deeds! If you are having a life changing or life milestone event and would like help with the planning, inspiration, organisation and entertainment aspects, then Alan is your man who’s talents are worth the investment that will continue to reap dividends in great memories for years to come. Some of the reviews he receives from couples would bring tears to your eyes as its amazing how he touches lives! Alan is the assured, experienced, trusted hand at the wheel that will help navigate you through your voyage. From initial contact through to final carriages. If Alan is so good, why did he not win Wedding Dj of the year more often? … they valued him so highly that they made him a judge, a task he continues to this day!! I believe Alan to be the type of person who embraces symmetry and chemistry. It is important for him to feel a connection with his clients and for them to have trust instilled in him. As many have testified, if you are able to secure his services, you will feel truly looked after and blessed from the experience. With much love and kindest regards Gary Trotman Steelasophical Steel Bandread moreread lessSteelasophical Steel Band Dj28/08/24Inferno, The UKs Hottest Abba Tribute Band, had the pleasure of working with Alan at a lovely wedding at The Grand Hotel Brighton. Long before the big day he'd been instrumental in making sure it would all run smoothly, with his attention to detail and organisational skills. He was the link between the client and us, which I'm sure was a huge part of the reason why the event ran so well on the night! We were able to run our show through his excellent sound system, which helped reduce clutter on stage, and also made setting up a good deal easier and quicker and so much less intrusive for the guests as there was a limited time window to get set up in! Alan gently MC'd the event, which allowed it all to run to the schedule the bride and groom had set out, but without any of the guests feeling they were under any pressure or being "herded" along! He also played some cracking music and filled the dance floor after we had performed which kept the party going beautifully! Best DJ we've ever worked with!!read moreread lessINFERNO The Hottest UK ABBA Tribute Band26/08/24I worked with Celebrations with Alan Marshall at a wedding recently and cannot recommend him more highly. He is so much more than a 'wedding DJ' which is why he has risen to the very top of his game. I have known and worked with Alan for several years now so I know how good he is at his job. Seeing him in action always reinforces this. He's a consumnate professional who puts a huge amount of thought and preparation into his work. Nothing is ever too much trouble and Alan always delivers fantastic entertainment in a friendly, professional way. Looking for a truly great DJ and/or MC that will go the extra mile for your wedding or event? Look no further.read moreread lessDamian Bailey Photography20/08/24I referred Alan to one of my wedding couples who were looking for a DJ this year. My clients were looking for evening music that was a little different from the standard wedding songs. They wanted a playlist that felt bespoke to them and their music taste and had been struggling to find someone who could provide that for them. Alan came forward during my search and has been excellent at listening to the wants and needs of my clients and providing a truly outstanding service. As a wedding planner, it is to important to be recommending suppliers that provide professionalism, flexibility and an outstanding service. I can guarantee that Alan will be able to provide that to you and more! Alan was efficient and organised on the day, and created a beautiful atmosphere for the evening, allowing the guests to relax and enjoy themselves. I truly hope we get to work together again soon.read moreread lessAbby Lynch19/08/24
- Alan was an absolute star at our wedding. From the outset, he was very professional, going above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed on the day. The DJ set itself was fantastic and got everyone moving from start to finish. Highly recommended.read moreread lessDugald Young14/08/24I had the pleasure of working with Alan at a corporate event on Saturday evening. I can honestly say that Alan is a consummate professional in every way and he is an absolute master of his craft. Only the very best DJ's (and I have worked with hundreds of them) in the industry can truly "connect" with their audience for the entire evening, and at the same time have the ability to read exactly what will make the room come alive. I can strongly recommend the extremely rare talent of Alan at Celebrations without any hesitation whatsoever. If you are looking for a DJ to absolutely rock your event then look no further. Thanks for a great night Alan. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of your show. With kind regards. Colinread moreread lessColin Phillips23/06/24Alan was Master of Ceremonies and DJ at our New Year's Eve wedding and was absolutely fantastic! Our wedding would not have been the same without him. His DJ Set was brilliant and really got the party going. However, not only did Alan and his son ensure that the day ran smoothly, but his support and advice throughout our wedding planning process was invaluable. If we were to do it all again, one of the first things I would do is hire Alan, and I'd recommend anyone else planning a wedding to do the same.

Thank you so very much for your kind and generous help yesterday evening at our shared gig entertaining at Ageas Bowl, Southampton for Hartford Care's event. Having, over the years, worked with and viewed many mc's, dj's, backing bands and entertainment hosts; their approach and 'attitude' behind the performer or singer makes a huge impression on the audience. Your personality, Alan, is wonderful; it made us appear, as indeed we were, to be harmonious and working together. Your enjoyment of, and actively taking part in, my sets by not only running the show, but also behind me you were smiling warmly, dancing, clicking your fingers, which all added to the audience's appreciation and enjoyment of (hopefully!) my sets. As you said, you're 'a team player' - and this come across amply in your fantastic professional approach. A final word. Your entire production as dj and mc looked as good as it sounded - your set was beautifully lit, comprehensive and smart. Your whole presentation and attitude reflected your complete professionlism. Many thanks again, Alan. What an absolute pleasure it was to meet and work the evening with you!

When it came down to the day, Alan was almost immediately set up, without any impact to our wedding breakfast, and before we knew it our evening was rocking away.

We fell in love with how extremely creative and bespoke his services were, but even then we could not have prepared ourselves for how much impact his services added to our wedding, how much it elevated each and every cherished moment. We had no idea just how far his role would extend, alan was far more than what is stated on paper, alongside his excellent and professional showmanship skills, he basically ran our wedding day, there were little mistakes on my part with planning with order of the day and without Alan saving the day it could have been disruptive to the general flow and overall picture of the day, Alan worked with The suppliers to solve issues and me and my husband where none the wiser. I tell you this story as I know it is such a pressure planning a wedding and making sure all the details are right so you can enjoy your day, to know there is a supplier that sincerely has your best interest at heart, and is a great problem solver is priceless in my opinion, not only was he brilliant on the day he was extremely kind and comforting on the lead up, when it came to any general wedding stress, he offered great advice. We felt at ease with someone that provided for so many couples previously and it was clear he had pretty much seen it all. Alan presented us with a planning pack, where we was able to choose each song for ever sentimental moment of the day, not just entrance and the first dances but also signing the register, entrance in to the dinner area ect. Being able to be involved in those decisions made our entire day feel like magic, especially as two people who have a real connection to music. You can have a song that is significant to you both that none of the guests necessarily know the story behind, but both of you know the sentiment and story behind that song. It just elevates the affection in each of those moments. In our services we choose to include the grand entrance for our wedding party and the true and false game which are services Alan provides. These added so much fun and laughter to the day, sometimes wedding can feel really really formal, these are the perfect things that relaxed our guests and got everyone laughing together. And to top it off a lighthearted way for everyone to get to know our special people more, and to add more nostalgia and playfulness around everyone getting to know us as a couple. Alan also wrote our love story, where we both sent him indepth but very separate details from our first moments to our most recent moments as a couple and he merged them both together beautifully and read our love story out to all our guests and to us! it was funny, unique and sentimental. The absolute highlight of all the wonderful things he has to offer. Something our guests continue to bring up. We had so many people say to us that they have never been to a wedding like ours where they felt so much love in the room, and how the day was so revolved around our story and relationship with each other and I think a very large amount of that was down to Alan. So many of our guests raved about him after the event and are still talking about him a month later. On your wedding day, you have every single person you love on earth in one room, that is a very rare moment that you will likely not experience many times again. They are all there to celebrate you and your love for one another. It's an even rarer of a moment that you get to celebrate finding the person you want to spend all your days with (That's BIG). I could not recommend any one more to assist you in making this monumental milestone celebration it deserves to be. We felt Alan was providing much more than a service, we felt genuine care and affection. I really can't put into words the impact of what he does, you do have to see it to understand the full grandness of it. All I can say is, If your thinking of booking him, don't think twice you will most definitely not regret it.read moreread lesscharlotte kenna27/09/23After our initial meeting with Alan, we were beyond excited to have him as our master of ceremonies/dj.

He was incredible, went above and beyond before our wedding and on the day itself. We were kept on the dance floor all night with a very eclectic mix of music, guided by a few choices we'd made in advance. Alan and Andrea absolutely made our day and handled a couple of caterer issues so that we could stay cool and focus on our guests.

This was in addition to hosting Master of Ceremony and DJ duties. Alan and his son Raudhan constantly checked that we were happy throughout the course of the day and no request was too much.

We didn't have a typical wedding day, it was a unique venue with multiple suppliers.
When we first spoke to Alan we asked if we could challenge him & if he would be willing to be our celebrant which was something he had never done previous. He took up the challenge excitedly & excelled with his delivery.
His ceremony service was beautiful & so personal which is exactly what we wanted, many of our guests told us afterwards how emotional it was for them. I don't think there was a single dry eye in the room.
In his Master of Ceremonies role he was communicating with all our suppliers & guests whilst checking Leigh & I were happy throughout and where we needed to be next whilst also giving us time to be with our guests. He even accommodated our last minute adjustments!
Alan is an awesome DJ! Wow what an incredible experience, he mixed songs together expertly & was in tune with our guests musical tastes as the evening progressed, we especially enjoyed the 90's rave part.
Hus son Ru was excellent as well. He was communicating with us & Alan throughout. These 2 make a great team. Ru was even on the decks too playing some great tunes!
His services are superb, but Alan is one of nicest and most humble of guys I have ever met. He genuinely cares about your day as much as you do.
We couldn't have asked for anything more, he exceeded our already high expectations & more.
From the bottom of our hearts we cant thank you both enough. The day we wanted wouldn't have been the same without you.

Prior to our big day, Alan was great at keeping us on track. He had some great ideas for the day which were all very fun! Alan work hard in the background to make sure we could focus on having the best time, which we did. Come the evening everybody loved the DJ set and had a good boogie on the dancefloor. Thank you Alan for making our day so special! 😀read moreread lessSimon Marshall-Wilson13/07/22It’s very difficult to find the words to describe how wonderful, helpful, calming, organised and professional Alan is! From our first meeting he made us feel relaxed and that everything was under complete control and offered his help to us in any way he could! Our wedding day would never have been as perfect as it was without Alan, music was very important to us and he put so much care and time into helping us choose music to fit the day and make everything flow. On the day people were coming up to us to ask who the DJ/ Master of Ceremonies was as they were so impressed! The dance floor was packed from the minute music started and the party atmosphere was completely down to Alan. As master of ceremonies Alan mingled with our guests and kept the day flowing and on plan, but he also checked in with us throughout the day reassuring us everything was going smoothly behind the scenes and if there were any changes we wanted to make. Alan was also extremely flexible with certain activities in the day, letting things flow nicely.
Again I can’t put in to words how much we appreciate Alan and to say how much of a lovely, kind, organised, personable, professional and genuine man he is. We had a few personal circumstances change in the months before our wedding and Alan was so empathetic to our situation and really made sure everyone would feel comfortable throughout our day.
If you are in any doubt at all, don’t be, booking Alan for your special day is something I can promise you won’t regret.
Thank you whole heartedly!

Thank you so much for making our day so special.read moreread lessMichelle Caswell22/05/22Alan was the most professional yet personable DJ & Master of Ceremonies we could have asked for - it was like having another one of our friends with us all day. So attentive and went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing day.

He got everybody involved in Mr and Mrs and played the music that was definitely our style!
He personalised the experience so much and that is what we loved about him... even the fact he loves Disney as much as I do!!!
I would recommend Alan any day of the week... thank you again! 🥰read moreread lessNatasha Katie Williams Brighton15/11/21Hi Alan,
Firstly, please accept my apologies for the delay in sending you this email to you.
Both Nigel & I wanted to say thank you for the amazing way you conducted our special day, you were pivotal to making sure the day went musically smoothly, from each element to the next.
Not only that, you incorporated all the surprises for Nigel, which have been captured beautifully on camera.
You are an absolute professional as the music flowed perfectly during the evening as you had reassured me it would, thank you again.
If you would like a recommendation, please don't hesitate to ask as we would be delighted to say thank you again.
All the very best
Yvette & Nigelread moreread lessNigel Baber22/10/21Alan delivered a first class experience to make our wedding personalised and extra special. Alan stepped us through all the aspects of our day which helped enormously to reduce our stress and improve our wedding experience. Not only did Alan step in at short notice when we were let down, he opened our eyes as to how a wedding DJ can (and should) be so much more than playing music. I would highly recommend Alan.read moreread lessNick Wright15/10/21 - I very highly recommend Alan as a DJ and a host!
He was just fantastic from the beginning and so so helpful. The set up with the lights and booth looked fantastic and so classy! Alan and Ruadhan were both brilliant on the day and the day would never have run as smoothly without them. They kept us well informed and made the communication between us and the venue all day. There was music played for every person there.
Thankyou again to you both !!!
Meg and Tom Lucasread moreread lessMeg Lucas27/09/21When we first set up a meeting with Alan, we weren’t sure whether we needed a master of ceremonies, but we knew we needed an all day DJ! The rest seemed like a bonus. What I can tell you now is; I genuinely don’t know how smoothly our wedding would have gone without Alan! My now husband went in to set up the decor we’d bought ourselves to find that Alan had already done it!
He made sure everyone knew where they were meant to be & what was happening when.
He made sure I got the canapés that were put aside for us when I realised how hungry I was after barely eating breakfast!
He literally coordinated everything with the venue & everything ran so smoothly.
In terms of music he made sure that nothing would be played that we either didn’t want. Or that wouldn’t fit, but gave our guests an option to choose what they wanted through request cards!
Honestly, we’re so pleased that we booked Alan (& definitely glad that he was still available when we had to postpone) for our wedding! He was worth every penny & more!
Highly recommend him to anyone looking to get married! He will make your life so much easier!
Thank you ever so much again Alan,
Lisa & Dan Allen xread moreread lessLisa Allen19/09/21Alan was recommended to us as our original DJ was unavailable on our rescheduled wedding day. We’re so pleased we followed up with the recommendation because Alan was incredible. He kept in touch with us prior and put us at ease with reassurance that he’d make sure the day went smoothly! He was even able to add the ‘Selfie Wizard’ to our day with short notice and our guests loved it. He was instrumental in coordinating the day which left us free to enjoy it all. It’s been two weeks since our wedding and we still have people mentioning how fantastic Alan was! Thank you!read moreread lessAmy Louise Cooper13/08/21We cannot thank Alan enough for his part in our wedding. We booked him as an all day DJ and Master of Ceremonies and it was the best decision we made! From the very first zoom call Alan put us at ease with the knowledge that he will be with us every step of the way and even with that in mind he still managed to exceed our expectations. Everytime I was worried about something he was straight on the phone with me to walk me through it. He worked with our other suppliers in order to make sure everything would go smoothly on the day. He gave us a wedding planner right after we booked him which was extremely helpful to look through whenever we got stuck with anything. On the day Alan and his son Ru were both exceptional! As weddings go, our timings didn't go quite to plan but they were both there to make everything work! Again, thank you so much! We couldn't recommend Alan highly enough!read moreread lessAlicja Malcolm06/08/21Alan was our Master of Ceremonies and DJ at our wedding last month. Alan was absolutely brilliant in the lead up to the wedding and on the wedding day ensuring that he was in the loop about everything so he could take charge and put us at ease. He did everything he could to ensure that everything ran smoothly and the way we wanted it too. The preparation we had prior was paramount due to Alan wanting to just focus primarily on us for our big day, this meant he would contact every supplier for our day just so he knew when they’d arrive and what they’d be doing, how he retained so much information I don’t know but he did and delivered us all the info we needed. On the day he was set up early with his cheerful smile and welcoming tone and straight away put me at ease while I was greeting guests etc, the transitions were perfect and the way he addressed them to the guests was welcoming but also in a way that it needed to happen.
Overall I couldn’t recommend him enough!
5/5 all day long and will be recommended to everyone we know!!
Ru his son and also his right hand man, was spot on too. He interacted with the guests aswell and made sure everyone was kept in the loop and enjoying themselves they are literally 2 peas in a pod.
Finally the love story on its own is unique and definitely just puts Alan above the rest of every other MoC and DJ out there.read moreread lessConnor Taylor12/07/21 - We got married on the 26th June 2021 and booked Alan for our DJ all day and Master of ceremony and it was one of the best decisions we had made about the wedding. Throughout the covid rule changes and whether we would need to postpone or not Alan was there with any help we needed every step of the way. He answered any questions we had very quickly and thought of things that neither of us would have ever thought of. He also worked well in our and our guests favour to get us as close to a pre-covid wedding as possible whilst keeping everyone safe!
When it came to the day, Alan kept everything running so smoothly and everyone was kept informed about what was going on and when and it really took the stress off of me and Josh and allowed us to enjoy our day!
We are both so grateful for everything you did for us on our day and the lead up to it and if anyone is on the fence about either booking Alan or booking Alan as a master of ceremony as well as a DJ I’d definitely recommend him!
Thanks again!
Josh and Jennie Maguire
Edit: forgot to mention Alan’s son, Ru! He was also amazing and having the both of them there made the day even better and Ru helped to also coordinate the entrances to the ceremony and wedding breakfast which was great because again, took the pressure off of me and we managed to get our less shy flower girl down the aisle too! ❤️read moreread lessJennie Maguire05/07/21Just cannot praise Alan and his son Ru highly enough for the fantastic work they put into making my daughter's wedding the truly beautiful day it was yesterday. Alan has been so supportive over the past few months, showing incredible understanding of the challenges we faced after I lost my husband only 3 months before the wedding. I've really felt I had a great person on my side taking a huge amount of pressure off and Alan managed our very emotional tribute to the bride's dad with great sensitivity and total professionalism. I got fantastic feedback, with one of the photographers telling me it was the classiest wedding he'd ever attended, and that was in no small part due to Alan. He's always on duty, and was totally tuned into the needs of my daughter, her husband and me, and just kept the day on track in a lovely way. Finding Alan literally made all the difference to the day, and he's helped ensure we will look back on this day with the most wonderful memories. Thank you so much Alan!read moreread lessChristine Foyster05/07/21When we first spoke to Alan on the phone, we both new he was going to be great. We didn't know at this time that he had won so many awards, we clicked instantly. His passion and excitement for his work gives him the ability to know exactly what type of party we wanted. We originally booked Alan for just dj-ing but we knew by hiring him to be our master of ceremonies that our day would run beautifully smooth and stress free with Alan at the helm, and it did....
Kate and Tony Warman.read moreread lessTony Warman04/07/21Our original wedding DJ/celebrant got stuck abroad due to travel restrictions. We were then passed onto the capable hands of Alan.
From the get go Alan was pro-active, attentive and enthusiastic about our wedding being his first in a whole year. We had regular contact with him through emails and zoom calls.
We were both put at ease quite quickly and were reassured that Alan was the perfect fit for our wedding. We were unsure of what/how our wedding would play out, Alan had many resources and ideas up his sleeve.
He put together a quiz using new software to ensure it was COVID safe. This was highly loved by all and got the feel good atmosphere going with everyone being involved. He also put together a love story that was from both of our POV’s then put together into a story, this was a great way to re-visit our relationship and share it with our guests.
He had also sorted extra equipment to have another set up outside due to the good weather.
Which resulted in a such a positive and party atmosphere. All of our guests commented on the atmosphere he had created for us and for that we are very grateful.
Thank you very much Alan for being such a big part of our day! You made it such a memorable day for so many more reasons.read moreread lessLeanne Millar12/06/21We used Alan for our entertainment for our wedding day. It was a year ago this week and my husband and myself were reminiscing on our anniversary about how it was such a lovely day and all helped by Alan and his son.
We had in-depth conversations with Alan beforehand and he sent us a comprehensive booklet for us to note down our preferences of how we wanted the day to go and feel.
That feeling of the day being fun and relaxed was completely hit, and resonated our personalities perfectly
On the day Alan was able to help keep the guests entertained when my Dad got us lost on the way to the venue! Most people weren't aware of me being more than fashionably late; and Alan's son was a friendly face that helped me calm all my 'late to my own wedding' nerves as he timed me in for walking down the aisle.
Both Alan and his son were impeccably dressed and very friendly to all of our guests and helped the photographer to shepherd them outside for photos.
The lighting was amazing for all of our 'official' photos and the song choices were great. We only remember having a great time.
It came to light, this week as well, how Alan and his son went above and beyond on the day when our venue had messed up on the table decorations; whilst my bridesmaids and groom were sorting it out, Alan and his son stepped in to help speed up the process and were so efficient I didn't know there was an issue until this year! When the venue also spilt sauce down my dress Alan was straight there sorting out a way to clean it up and making sure I was ok (I was fine, sort of thing that could only happen to me). Not only that but when my Dad's (brilliant) speech went on...and on.... Alan was able to be flexible with the timings and strategically rearranged the reception timings to make everything fit seamlessly.
Alan was very organised throughout the day, nothing was missed, and the 'Mr and Mrs' game was so much fun; but what really stands out for our guests, is our 'Love story' that Alan recounted before our first dance. It set the tone for the first dance and made it feel even more special.
If you don't go with Alan you're missing out. Couldn't recommend him highly enough.read moreread lessBecky Barma-Newman29/05/20
