“We would like to say a very special and big thank you to Paul Taylor who was not only a fantastic DJ, but a wonderful Master of Ceremonies. Paul helped us organise a fantastic wedding – we didnt have to worry about anything. It all went off without a hitch thanks to you, so again we cant say it enough, THANK YOU x x”
Thank you Charlotte and Simon, it was an honour to play a part in helping you create such a special day.
What a lovely way to start the day … week … month! A message from a fabulous couple.
Hi Paul
Sorry this is so late we’re only starting to get straight after our wonderful month long honeymoon, but we wanted to say thank you so much for making our wedding day so special.
We absolutely loved all of our reception and evening party and we couldn’t have made it so great without all your help. You patience with us in planning and on the night with all the bands playing and your advice on having the quiz, advice cards, timings for the evening and inflatable microphones etc was invaluable. So thank you so much.
We have attached a few pictures for you of us and yourself on the day for your files.
Many thanks
Steve and Michelle
Last weekend I was delighted to travel up to Surrey to play for Annie’s birthday party. Annie and I spoke a couple of times on the phone prior to the event and talked about the music and how the evening was going to be set out.
There is a large stage at the venue which I could have used but I was very keen to set up on the floor so that the guests could come and talk with me easily.
Once all the guests arrived Annie made a lovely speech before cutting her very special birthday cake. She actually baked the cake herself and her friend Claire decorated it – it was delicious, Annie gave me a large piece which I enjoyed with my morning coffee the next day.
Today I received a lovely email from Annie, here are a couple of snippets …
“I didn’t totally believe you initially about making my party unforgettable … that is an understatement … it was an awesome evening”
“…one of my brothers couldn’t believe I had only met you an hour before the party .. he thought we’d known each other sometime!! You blended into the party and were great with guests requests.”
Here’s another one of my reviews that I’ve posted recently on the For Better For Worse website’s venue pages …
Situated a few miles out of Southampton, just off the A35 and easily reached from the M27, The Woodlands Lodge Hotel is brilliantly located for couples who want a New Forest Wedding.
I’m a DJ and Master of Ceremonies/Wedding Host, so I get to visit dozens of venues across the region and gain a unique behind-the-scenes insight and The Woodlands Lodge is among the most friendly hotels I’ve visited. Imogene and her team have created a really welcoming atmosphere that only a privately owned/run hotel could hope to achieve.
The venue has two rooms licensed for civil ceremonies and offer various options to accommodate different couples’ requirements for their wedding breakfast and evening reception.
If you are looking for a venue where you’ll feel at home, valued and relaxed I suggest you drop in for a chat with Imogene.
Here’s a couple of pictures from a year ago today (10th December 2011) of my last wedding at The Woodlands Lodge for Matt & Kirsten’s Wedding.

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!

Just thought I’d share some feedback I’ve had following a recent 50th birthday party.
“Thanks for doing a great job last week. A lot of our guests and the staff at the venue were very impressed. Your professionalism, enthusiasm and sense of fun were plain to see.
Hope to see you another time.”
