Saturday night was a quick trip out for a 40th Birthday party for the partner of an old Superbowl friend. The event was held in the Mark Ash suite at The Lyndhurst Park Hotel.
The room was decorated in black and white and there was added excitement provided by Absolute Fun Casino and a fantastic candy buffet provided by Sweety Treaty CLICK HERE
I’ve just picked up a new camera on eBay, so you can expect some new photo’s over the coming months … but it’s going to take some getting used to!
This Saturday, 3rd March, I’m back at The Concorde Club in Eastleigh. The new format for this year on Saturday’s is a vocalist for the early part of the evening and then a DJ once the diners have finished their meals. Last time I was there the vocalist was the very excellent Ellie James. This time we have Stacey Mogg, and from what I’ve seen and heard it looks like there is a real treat in store.

The Concorde Club is a members club and on Saturday evenings is open to members and their guests only. Full information and prices CLICK HERE
I just wanted to quickly update you on things because it’s all been a bit manic over the last couple of weeks and I’m taking a winter sun break and will be away for a few days.
First the Groom’s Workshop was great fun. Thanks to the guys who turned up, we were only a small group but I know we all got something out of our time together. The Bell is a lovely venue and I’m sure we’ll go back there again. I hope to announce two more venues soon, one over to the east of Southampton and another possibly in East Dorset. More information early next month (March).
Once I’m back from my break we have 3 wedding fairs booked at The Botleigh Grange, The DeVere New Place and The Wessex Conference Centre – again more info soon.
Also confirmed are my next 3 dates at The Concorde Club. I’ll be there on Saturday 3rd March, Saturday 5th May and Saturday 7th July.
Tonight I’m back at the fabulous Concorde Club for my first visit of 2012. I’m usually there about once every six weeks or so, and I’m always touched by how friendly everyone is and the warm welcome I receive.
According to the Club website, tonight we also have singer Ellie James performing so it should be a particularly fine evening.
PLEASE NOTE, the Concorde Club is a members club and, unless you are having a meal in the club restaurant, you will need to be a member or their guest. For more Information PLEASE CLICK HERE.

Yesterday we were at the Southampton Guildhall for the first Wedding Daze Exhibition of 2012 and it was my pleasure to compere and supply the music for the fashion show. The dresses for the show were provided by Josephine’s Bridal Collection from Southampton and Brides of Winchester. Hair and make-up for the Brides was taken care of by Kutz N Beauty, Once Upon A Time Tiaras and Penny Lane Flowers provided the tiaras and floral arrangements on the catwalk.
It was fantastic to see so many couples that, even these difficult times, want to show each other, and the world, their commitment and love.

Now would be a good time to buy this timeless Christmas classic. There is a 59p version available on iTunes, search Dominick The Donkey.

Back in July I was proud to DJ for Phil and Nancy’s wedding at the fabulous Larmer Tree Gardens. You can see my post on my pre-event visit to the Larmer Tree Gardens HERE.
Nancy has just posted this review on Google …
“Paul the Wedding Party DJ made our wedding experience all the more gratifying. The bespoke service he provided leading up to the wedding, and on the day itself, was over and above everything we could have wished for. It’s easy to pick a DJ but we were so fortunate that we found Paul due to the unique service he provides. We knew nothing about Paul beforehand and found him via Google, then enjoyed watching his blogs at the weekends and decided to make contact with him.
We met Paul twice in the run up to the wedding. Off his own back Paul visited our venue to get a feel for the place and how he would set up on the day itself. He offered a service for our guests to submit song choices to him during the lead up to the day. Paul also ran through a few ideas he had for reacting to lack of activity on the dance floor e.g to get people engaged if the atmosphere was lacking. I really liked this as usually a DJ will just play the songs regardless of the audience’s interest. Most of our guests never left the dance floor all night.
Paul also familiarised himself with the names of our wedding party beforehand so that he could personalise the special songs we had requested e.g. the dance with my Dad. Finally, after our last song, Paul played a cheeky number which was a surprise to us, and was relative to our ceremony earlier in the day. The whole room joined hands and sang along. I will be eternally grateful to Paul for doing that. It was just brilliant!
Oh yes… and Paul was away on holiday the week before our wedding, but had lined up a friend who was to step into his shoes should another ash cloud have prevented him from returning to the UK!
So, if you are looking for a disco for your wedding reception – look no further. Paul really cares about your day and comes up with loads of ideas for different scenarios. He is not at all cheesy. Had we not proceeded with the disco theme – we certainly would have had him there
as a guest – he’s great!
I cannot justify enough, in words, Paul the Wedding Party and the service he provides!”

Thank you so much Nancy, your kind words blew me away!
