(Well ... not quite yet ... but we liked the dramatic effect of the title :)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you visited @theoldparishrooms open day last weekend you may have been let into a little project we have going on.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will still be a little quiet on the old social media for a bit as we have another secret SECRET project we have going on that nobody knows about *sinister laugh mwuuaaaahaahahaha* .... but don't worry ... all shall be revealed before wedding season kicks well and truly into gear !
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stunning photography by @mariewoottonphotography .... thank you so much for sending these through !

2020 - Let's go !

Tonight we dust off the records (well MP3's nowadays) for our first wedding of the year .... Let's hope dry January and a few extra notches on the old belt buckles don't get in the way of a good party !
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And tomorrow (Sunday 5th) we are BACK for the first open day of the year at @theoldkentbarn !!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Catch us down at this beautiful, friendly and AWARD WINNING venue from 12-5pm.

Been on a bit of a social media break for the last few weeks.
A very busy 6 months left us needing a slight break from the need (or perceived need) to post daily !
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Felt a bit odd, not to be posting pictures of every event we have done over the last month, but we have come to realise we get more engagement from what "we" do, as opposed to pictures of people generally having a good time when we are dropping beats.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So next year we are planning to be a little bit more personal with our social media game (but still with a solid helping of people partying).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That being said ... this was a lovely way to end the year, and yep, it's a picture of a bunch of people smiling ..... At a party .... Having a good time at @theoldparishrooms (big plans in 2020 with these guys:)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
NYE definitely doesn't count, so for us, Saturday was the last event of 2019
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In 2019 we both went into running the business full time. Our plan was to maintain the reputation we had built up, not actually improve on it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We like to use analogies a fair bit ... and we compared it to a boxer who had won 11 rounds .... and just needed to get through the 12th without doing anything stupid.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Rightly or wrongly, that was our goal for the year .... to get through it without making any silly mistakes that would undo that hard work we had put into this business.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, that fact that we started April 2019 with 40 Five Star reviews and have ended the year with 87 of those bad boys, it's safe to say that we feel like we have landed a knockout in the final round and we are over the moon !
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
NONE of the above would have even been remotely achievable without the support of the amazing venues (and people who work there), the brilliant suppliers who I know recommend us when they can, and lastly and most importantly the people that have booked us along the way and given up their time to leave us some reviews that genuinely give us a lump in our throat from time to time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cheers to 2019. Merry XMAS all x

Huge thanks to G Holders last night for having us at @lodgefarmbarns for their Christmas Party.

Little bit of a subtle message behind the DJ booth to give people a little nudge 🕺💃

Venue: @threeriverscountryclub
Date: 25th July 2019
Description: Gary bringing the heat on the hottest day of 2019
Our thoughts: We distinctly remember providing music for the outdoor ceremony, which was conducted in fine form by @rajendrajoshi65, on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year.
We sat in total fear the whole time that the equipment was going to overheat and melt before our very eyes and cut the music out !!! .... However, we made it through without a hitch (and the with the help of a few USB powered fans) and the legendary Gary took over and absolutely rocked the evening party !
Superb atmosphere from start to finish !!!

Venue: @colvillehall
Date: 31/06/2019
Description: First dance of the night - To the last one of the night !
Our thoughts: Always love coming back to Colville Hall, stunning venue in the heart of Essex with bags of character. Remember this wedding as having such a great atmosphere, smiles all around from start to finish and just such a fun loving crowd who needed no encouragement to let loose on the dance floor.
Congrats again guys x

Event type: Wedding
On sax:@sarahcsax
Description: Driving down from Essex into London on a scorching summers afternoon, we had a good feeling about this one.
Playing alongside the lovely Sarah Sax who always brings a massive amount of energy and pure talent to any event, it's a safe bet that the Bride & Groom won't mind us saying that together, we absolutely smashed this one out the park.
Amazing location, mouth watering food, lots of good drink and an unbelievable crowd.

Event type: Wedding
Description: The new Mr & Mrs B kicking off the night !
Our thoughts: Cracking wedding from start to finish at one of the best venues in Essex. The Groom being a fellow DJ wanted it a little heavier later in the night and we duly obliged. Absolute banger of a wedding !!!!

As per usual Dan trying to get in on all the selfie booth action (under the guise of pretending to assist your guests of course). If you see Dan at an event near you, hanging around this or any other selfie booth ... feel free to tell him that "press here to start" is a pretty easy to follow !
