Great Wedding Entertainment are proud to be the managers of the in-house / resident DJs for Bijou Wedding Venues.

We also help many couples using these venues for their big day with other entertainment solutions including, Bands, Harpists, String Quartets, Jazz Bands, Magicians, Choirs, Ceilidh Bands and many more.

OUR IN-HOUSE / RESIDENT DJs
We recommend all weddings book our resident DJs using the venues installed equipment.

Each venue has a full sound and lighting system fully installed enabling our DJs to be set up and ready to entertain in no time at all.

The equipment has been carefully installed into each room so that it blends into the venues décor in an unobtrusive way. Although these systems are simple and discreet they still create a great atmosphere for dancing. (See Testimonials)

All of our DJ presenters have many years experience and cater for all tastes and ages. They are happy to play any favourite track for your first dance and we will forward a music questionnaire so that you can tell us exactly what you do and don't want played for your evening.

If you would prefer to have a full Mobile Disco this can also be arranged at a small extra cost. We offer three different sizes and the details can be seen on our Mobile Discos Page. If this is for you, please remember that the turn around time for your evening will be increased as these Discotheques take up to one hour to set up.


   

CAIN MANOR

Cain Manor / Harpist & DJ / 17th May 09.
Hi Paul. Our wedding day was absolutely amazing and such a perfect occasion. Your Harpist, Paula a was outstanding and everyone commented on how beautiful and fitting the harp music was for the ceremony and reception. Similarly, the DJ for the evening was equally fantastic - great music and lighting - we even had people up dancing who told us that they "didn't really like dancing that much"!
All in all, both the harpist and DJ were superb and we would recommend both of them.
Regards, Miriam and Jeremy

Cain Manor 26th April 09.
Hi Paul. We all had a super day. The entertainment was perfect on the day. I had created the majority of the playlist and every song was played that I had requested. The extra songs that were played made the music even more enjoyable! The whole process from me selecting the songs to them being played was seamless and both Stav and I didn't have to worry about a thing! We also supplied our own CD with a few extra tracks we wanted played and there were no issues with the DJ accommodating this. All in all excellent service. Thanks Caroline.

Cain Manor 25th April 09.

Wedding / Cain Manor / 3rd August 08.
We wanted to say a huge thank you for Sunday. We had the most magical day and this was complimented by the disco in the evening. I know our playlist had some interesting songs on it ! but you slotted them in perfectly with a great rang of other styles of music. Thank you also for allowing Paul's friend to do his thing on the mic, this was a memorable moment for us! Thank you once again for including all of the songs that you did and especially mine and my dads song at the end. Many Thanks Sarah & Paul

Cain Manor / 29th June 08.
We were really pleased with the disco at our wedding. You did everything we asked and kept everyone up dancing, so keep up the good work. Thanks for your help in making it a perfect day. Michelle.

Cain Manor / String Quartet / Magician / DJ / 2nd August 2008.
Thank you so much for all your help in providing all of the entertainment at our wedding.

Dave and I were thrilled with the String Quartet. They really added a special something to our ceremony and kept all of our guests suitably entertained. We went to Hawaii on honeymoon so our guests thought it was hilarious when they played the theme to Hawaii 5-0! Perfect!

Colin the Magician did a fantastic job of keeping all of our guests entertained throughout the meal and then keeping all the children quiet after the speeches. Our guests with children were particularly impressed with him and the children had a great time.

The DJ was great. He played a good proportion of our requests and many of our guests have commented that he played their requests on the night straight away too. Our evening party had a wonderful atmosphere and he was instrumental in creating it.

We had a fantastic day and it wouldn’t have been the same without your help. We will be in touch when we arrange our anniversary party! Thanks a million, Natalie and Dave.

Cain Manor 13th June 2008
Dear Paul, We would like to comment on the entertainment supplied by your good selves on our wedding evening, as it was a major factor in making our day so incredible. The songs requested by our guests were almost all played, and you gauged well the feel for the music, which would appeal to our guests. Watching virtually everyone dancing in a somewhat hokey-cokey style to the Pogues was unforgettable. Whilst you admitted that the music was somewhat cheesier than typical you delivered a variety of cheese to appeal to the softer and harder cheese tastes!! My mother-in-law found Tina's head banging most fascinating and it has been the subject matter over several cups of tea since. We would willingly allow our testimony to any advertising and will recommend you to anyone looking for a DJ. Many thanks for adding to our special day. Regards Juli and John

Cain Manor / DJ / 22nd May 2008
Hi Paul, we really did have a day to remember! Everything was perfect at Cain Manor - I don't think there could possibly be a nicer venue in England! The entertainment you provided was absolutely perfect thank you. Many of our guests remarked on how good the music and the DJ was! We recently attended another wedding at which we will naturally and inevitably make comparisons and the service you provided was far superior to that provided there. We will certainly recommend you to others. Thanks for helping to make our day so special. Catherine and Paul.

Cain Manor / DJ / 25th April 2008
Graeme and I would just like to say a big thank you for the entertainment you provided for our wedding. We, and our guests had a brilliant day, which was finished off by a night full of dancing! The DJ did a fantastic job, the music choices were great and he was open to suggestions, even the silly ones! Please pass on our thanks to him.

We will never forget our special day, and our guests have since said that it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Thank you very much! Sarah and Graeme.

Cain Manor / DJ / 18th April 08
Thanks Paul, the day went well, and our first dance was great, thanks to your DJ for coming up with the goods for our little scheme with not much notice. People seemed to enjoy themselves with and lots were dancing, in fact the boys ended up with a bit of a dance off, much to everyone's amusement. I didn't get chance to thank the DJ personally when he left, please pass on my thanks for helping make our day go so well. Thanks, Emma.

Notley Abbey / DJ / 6th June 09.
Thank you for the DJ at our wedding on 6th June 09 at Notley Abbey. He did a fantastic job, playing all of the songs we requested and much more. These songs were actually exactly the sort of music we wanted and this certainly kept everyone on the dance floor. You did a great job, thanks again, Laura & Alan.

Notley Abbey / DJ / 5th June 09.
Quick note to say many thanks for the DJing at our wedding at Notley Abbey on Friday 5th June and in particular for being so helpful in letting me and my mates do a set.
Please can you pass on my thanks to Robin who was fantastic, really helpful and added to what was, for us, a great day and night. Best regards Simon Freshfield

Notley Abbey / DJ / 3rd May 09.
Hi Paul, Just dropping you a quick note to say a big thank you. Our DJ, Robin was excellent, the dance floor was busy all night and we were really pleased. He was really flexible and all of our guests said that it was the best wedding dance floor they had experienced! My Brother (who's also a DJ) was really impressed too. So please pass on our thanks to Robin. Sunita & James Harley


Notley Abbey / DJ / 4th April 09.
Dear Paul, We had a brilliant time at the evening disco. The music was really good and a lot of people commented on how good the entertainment was. In fact a few friends were trying to poach the DJ for their own wedding!!
Thanks again for a great evening. Helen and Roger


Notley Abbey / DJ / 29th March 09.
Dear Paul, Just a short note to thank you for helping us make our wedding day so memorable. We were very pleased with the entertainment you provided, excellent. The DJ was absolutely fab and we wish you all the best for the future. Kind Regards Huma & Faaris.

Notley Abbey / DJ / 15th March 09.
Dear Paul, Sorry for the delay in sending you this message, James and I wanted to say a big thank you for the excellent DJ you provided for our wedding at Notley Abbey on 15th March, 2009, we had a great day and his contribution was fantastic. Gill and James

Notley Abbey / Harpist / 4th October 08.
Hi Paul, We found your service spot on. Everything was clear and easy to understand which was great when you're having to focus on a million other jobs around the wedding. Sarah was fantastic. So many people commented on how wonderful her playing was. She also went above and beyond the call of duty when she offered to learn a song we liked for our ceremony as this song does not have sheet music so she had to listen to the song and work out how to play it just for us. Many thanks, Kirsty

Notley Abbey / DJ / 27th September 08.
I have to say a big thank you to our DJ, James. Without exception, all our dancing guests said it was the best wedding music play list they had heard as it allowed all ages and likes to enjoy! From the first dance to the last, the dance floor was full to bursting and James and I had a fantastic day and night. Thanks for all the help and support - you will be booked for any future party we need although not wedding! :-) Thanks Rebecca

Notley Abbey / DJ / 10th May 2008
It was the best day of our lives! Notley Abbey put on a great day and our guests seemed to love it as much as we did. The music was an integral part. The DJ you provided us with was extremely good, we were very pleased indeed and would not hesitate in recommending you in the future. Please pass on our thanks to him. Kind regards, Sophie & Nick

Notley Abbey / DJ / 25th April 2008
We thought GWE were great and played all the tunes we requested and loads of other good ones too. I know we're biased but it must have been good as the dance floor was full the whole evening, which isn't the case at all the weddings we've been to! Many thanks, Vicky.

Notley Abbey / DJ / 22nd March 2008
Hi Paul, We had a fantastic day and evening thank you, and your DJ did an excellent job. Everything went very smoothly and the selection of music played was just perfect for all of our guests and the DJ was very accommodating with any requests we had. Please pass my thanks onto him, an thank you for making sure everything ran smoothly on the night. We would certainly recommend you in the future.

SILCHESTER HOUSE

Silchester House 7th February 09.
Our wedding was totally perfect and none of us will ever forget it! Can't believe now how lucky we were with the weather, the venue was great, the food was great and the music was brilliant too. We have been to loads of weddings and we know that the DJ makes the evening work or not work... we weren't worried about it as our guests are strong enough to make any rubbish DJ play what they want but you were brilliant, we couldn't have asked for anything more. The evening went really quickly but the memories of everyone dancing and leaping about will be with us forever. The mix of music was great, keeping the old and young dancing - you judged it really well and it was great to hear the songs we put on the play list.

Thank you for making our wedding great, I guess you have exactly the right business name! Amanda and Daniel

Silchester House / 8th November 08.
Dear Paul, Many thanks for all your help and efforts with co-ordinating the music and entertainment for our wedding. Andy and I really did have one of the best days of our lives! It was a very happy occasion. All your arrangements went smoothly - on the day and in the lead up. Our DJ, Mark was helpful with liaising with Tom (Reggae dj) and made the whole organisation process easy for me. Kind regards, Juliet Morris.

Silchester House / DJ / 2nd August 08.
We would like to thank Great Wedding Entertainment. The service you provided was excellent. The DJ was professional and the music was brilliant! Everyone was on the dance floor all night and we only wish we'd had more time ourselves to dance to the great music! We will definitely be recommending Great Wedding Entertainment to others getting married in the future. Thanks again. Nicola and Julian.

Silchester House / DJ / 23rd August 2008.
Hi Paul, We are both very happy with the service you provided, Everyone was dancing and enjoying themselves and we got to dance to the songs we wanted to hear at our wedding. It was a great party and the DJ was great.

Thanks for helping our day be a very fun and memorable one. Sarah

Silchester House / Pianist / 30th June 07
We just wanted to tell you how grateful we are for the amazing performance of your pianist at our wedding two weeks ago. Having Carole there made the day even more special. Carole was wonderful; all the songs she played and sang were fantastic. Thank you so much. All our guests were very impressed. Also thank her for staying a bit longer, despite having plans that evening, she is a true professional.
