Planning a day that feels stylish, personal and utterly you, without the tacky extras? I specialise in mature weddings where the hosting is calm, the music suits every generation, and the flow is effortless. You enjoy the celebration. I handle the pacing, the soundtrack and the small but vital details.
You choose the exact version and cue point of your first dance. I verify the file, prep a backup, and coordinate with your photographer so nothing is missed.
Your veto list stands. If the floor thins, you can authorise me to pivot for a short burst to rebuild momentum. Or you can choose a lower-energy floor if that suits your vision.
Clear announcements, minimal talk during dancing, no cringe. I use the mic when it adds clarity or energy, then I get out of the way.
Professional MC hosting that keeps everything flowing, with vendor coordination so the day runs smoothly.
Mature weddings often bring a brilliant mix of friends from different eras, blended families and colleagues. You want warmth and personality, not gimmicks. I host with a light touch, I guide the room so everything feels easy, and I keep the cringe firmly out of sight.
Awards and proof
National winner, The Wedding Industry Awards. Featured by Confetti, Hitched and Guides for Brides. With me you book Tony, you meet Tony, and I am the person who looks after you on the day.
We build your music plan with must‑plays, nice‑to‑haves and clear do‑not‑plays. Requests are encouraged, I just avoid derailing the energy by jumping to a "play this next" demand. If you prefer a strict no‑cheese brief, we keep it stylish across eras so older relatives and uni friends feel included.
The Safety Valve
For couples with large veto lists, we agree a simple contingency. If the dance floor thins, you can authorise me to pivot for a short burst to rebuild momentum. Or you can choose a lower‑energy floor if that suits your vision. Your call.
You choose the exact version and cue point of your first dance. A week out you confirm the track title, artist, mix name and start timestamp. I verify the file, prep a backup, and coordinate with your photographer so nothing is missed. On the night I cue that version precisely and protect the moment.
Form fields I will send you
Track version name, for example "Extended Mix".
Start at mm:ss, for example 00:42.
Fade‑out preference, for example at 02:58 or full play.
People dance to the beat. A voice can interrupt that beat and cause churn on and off the floor. I use the mic when it adds clarity or energy, then I get out of the way. Announcements are short and useful. No tired gags, no running commentary.
Great parties feel relaxed because someone is quietly keeping everything on time. I plan the flow with you, then on the day I coordinate with your venue team, photographer and videographer. Entrances are personal, speeches are cued, the cake cutting is seen by the right people, and the little details are not left to chance.
Berkshire has stunning heritage rooms and barns, some with strict limiters. I work with the kit, not against it. I design the set so dynamics still feel exciting, I keep sub‑energy sensible and I place speakers to avoid problem sensors. On spread‑out farm venues I add clear signposting so guests always know what happens next.
Versatility, a DJ covers any genre and any decade, from Motown to Northern Soul to 90s classics and today's floor‑fillers. Continuity, there are no 20‑minute breaks that drain momentum. If you love live music we can blend a short live set and keep the energy seamless.
Windsor, Ascot, Maidenhead, Reading, Newbury and everywhere in between. I am experienced at country houses, barns and hotels across the county, including heritage spaces with limiters. Ask me about ceremony audio in gardens and satellite spaces that need careful coverage.
Yes. We plan your must‑plays and vetoes together. If the floor thins you can choose the Safety Valve so I can rebuild momentum for a while, or you can prefer a lower‑energy room. Your call.
I honour your playlist and do‑not‑play list. For bigger veto lists we agree the Safety Valve in advance so we can protect the dance floor without losing your vision.
Very selectively. I add energy or clarity when needed, then I let the music do the work.
No. I look after a six‑hour evening without a break, so the momentum stays high.
If this sounds like your kind of celebration, tell me about your date and venue. I will reply with a short plan for your timeline and a music ideas sheet.
