Thanks Martin For Helping Make Our Big Day So Amazing

We hired Martin all day, for our wedding on 4th February 2018 at Rhinefield House He played the music for the ceremony, background music during the drinks reception/wedding breakfast, and of course for the party in the evening. I had 2 meetings with him beforehand and knew instantly that he would get everything exactly as we wanted. He read the crowd in the evening keeping people on the dance floor all night as well as playing the Trance that we wanted. We also had lasers and up lighting this completely transformed the room. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone, and if we ever need a DJ again he will be our first choice. Thanks Martin for helping make our big day so amazing! Elly and Phil x

Barford Park Barn Wedding

We had Martins all day package for our wedding in September. He was professional from our first meeting and took on board on what we wanted. He knew the timings of the day and made sure everything ran smoothly, which was a massive help! The lighting package made our venue look amazing and the glitter ball added an extra level of sparkle. The dance floor was never empty and Martin accommodated all our requests. We would thoroughly recommend and hope to use him again for a party in the future.

He Was Truly Amazing!

We booked Martin for our wedding in May of this year after being recommended by a family member. He was truly amazing, the dance floor was never empty from start to finish. He was easy to get hold of and quick to respond. Thank you for making our evening celebrations perfect. We would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a friendly and professional DJ who will make your night for any event.

I Was Blown Away By A DJ Set Up - It Was More Like A Concert Set Up

Not only was Martin a lovely guy but a true professional. After performing at thousands of shows for millions of people I was blown away by a DJ set up - it was more like a concert set up. Sound was perfect, lighting was spot on. Can't believe a DJ offers this package I will definitely be using Martin Lake for my wedding. - David Boakes - The UK's no.1 Michael Jackson Tribute Act

We Would Thoroughly Recommend Martin To Anyone!

We met Martin a few weeks before the wedding, we discussed the music choices first dance etc. He is an extremely personable gentleman which put us at ease and was very flexible to the fact that we hadn't even decided our first dance music yet. On the day itself he was there on time set up and ready to go, he kept everyone on the dancefloor all night and everyone left extremely happy (the groom now has no knees on his uniform doing his best dirty dancing impersonation). Martin made the whole experience relaxing from start to end and we would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding or special event DJ.

It was everything we ever dreamed of, ONE BIG PARTY!

We hired Martin after finding his website. After reviewing his photographs and videos online, we were immediately impressed and excited that we had found our DJ for the big day! We contacted Martin via his website and within an hour, we received a response. Martin was keen to come and meet us and introduce himself meaning we were able to strike up a personal professional (he wore a suit and tie) relationship with him instantly. From the very first meeting, Martin's enthusiasm, eagerness to please and his outright dedication to providing us with the party of our dreams shone through. We liked Martin so much and he put both of our minds at rest that our party needs would be in safe hands, we hired him without hesitation. Other than asking my now wife to marry me, this was the next best decision I made! From this moment to our big night, Martin went above and beyond what we expected of him. He came to see us again in person a month before the wedding to finalise plans. We also ran through the playlists, the first dance, father and bride dances as well as a close down routine all of which Martin's experienced suggestions helped enormously. Prior to the party, we added some last minute additions, namely which were up-lighters to be used during the wedding breakfast. Martin came out to the venue prior to our arrival to set these up. He then came back again later in the evening to set up his impressive DJ booth. No matter what we asked of Martin, he went out of his way to ensure it happened! The party itself, well, WOW! My most basic requirement was "I want a rave in a room"! Boy, did Martin deliver! His fantastic lighting, sound system and laser show would not have looked out of place in Ibiza! It was everything we ever dreamed of, ONE BIG PARTY! Martin knew his audience well and managed to keep the dance floor busy all night playing all kinds of different genres to keep all happy! All of our guest were in awe of the show he provided and everyone commented that they have never been to a wedding where the dance floor was packed all night. I would never hesitate to recommend Martin Lake Roadshows to anyone. We loved Martin and his show so much, we want to have another party and we will definitely be sure to book him again! Thank You Martin for making our day so amazing!

If You’re Looking For An Outstanding DJ!

We first saw Martin a few years ago at another wedding and had the best night. When it came to making a decision for our own wedding we knew he would be perfect! Martin is a really friendly guy and was happy to meet us a few weeks before the big day to talk everything through, including a few song requests. Our guests danced all night long and didn’t want it to end. If you have the room we’d definitely recommend the light show too. If you’re looking for an outstanding DJ - Martin is your guy!

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

There are so many to choose from... one of my most memorable was on the cruise ship "The World" which is like a floating tax haven. At the end of the night I played the James Bond theme and a speed boat sped to a berth on the lowered down stern of the ship, the bride and groom jumped aboard and raced away into the night to huge cheers from all of the guests.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Friendly, Professional, Fun, Stylish, Versatile

What about your business are you most proud of?

There are two main things that I am really proud of... firstly, the many excellent reviews from delighted customers that I receive... there is real satisfaction in helping people that you have formed a bond with during the planning stages and seeing them so happy at the end of their amazing weddings and knowing that you have played an important part in that. Secondly after losing £1200 deposit from the company that were building my custom DJ Booth went bust I spent 8 frustrating months of researching, designing and building my custom Pixel DJ Booth myself. Not only was it far better than the one I was having built for me but I had it featured by Madrix who are the world leaders in LED Lighting Control. I not only received 18,000 views with 1200 likes in a week on their facebook page but amazingly I was the only mobile DJ in the world to be included on the prestigious Best Of Madrix 2018 video alongside super clubs and even the Winter Olympics. It goes to prove if you have imagination and determination (and a very understanding wife letting me take over the kitchen for a month of soldering) you can achieve almost anything.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Spend money on the things that are going to be really noticed, appreciated and remembered by you and your guest.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Wedding monograms of the bride and grooms names and married initial projected onto the dancefloor or walls with the whole room up-lit in their wedding colours. Also Impressive lightshows that wow the guests for the evening party.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I would meet up with the bride and groom to get to know them and find out exactly what they wanted for their wedding. I would find out their music tastes and talk about special moments happening throughout the day. I would offer suggestions and give ideas from my past experience backed up with examples on video to show how the ideas can work on the day. I would find out all of the key names on the top table and work through all of the timings in detail so everything can be taken care of so they can relax and just enjoy their brilliant day. I also encourage the bride and groom to submit a "request list" and a "do not play list". It might just be a few tracks or genres as guidance or it could be a comprehensive list of 60 tracks. I would spend several hours organising the list between background music and sets for the main dancing in the evening. This is important as I believe that really personalises the day to the bride and groom giving them a memorable soundtrack for their big day.

What makes a romantic first dance?

I believe a romantic first dance is a track that is very special to the bride and groom, it should be their track which will be an emotional, unforgettable moment when it is played. I do advise couples to double check the lyrics on google first as it might be a lovely tune but it could be about breaking up. It would be too late if you suddenly realise half way through your first dance.

What is your number one floor-filler?

This one changes all the time as the charts change but currently tracks that fill the floor with mixed ages are Uptown Funk, I Gotta Feeling and the latest Latin tracks in the charts. There are of course so many classic tracks that always fill the floor like Mr Brightside... where do you start... there are too many awesome tracks to choose from!

Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?

I could probably narrow it down to 50 including The Who, The Stones, The Killers, James Brown, The Jacksons, The Black Eyed Peas

What is the soundtrack to your life?

Another difficult one as I like so many albums and styles of music. I will try and narrow it down to 3 which is still almost impossible. "Thriller - Michael Jackson", Legend - Bob Marley, You've Come A Long Way Baby - Fatboy Slim, One Love - David Guetta, Quadrophenia - The Who, Bat Out Of Hell - Meatloaf, True - Avicii. That's 3 isn't it? I still haven't touched much on house, swing, R&B, Motown, Northern Soul, Latin, Disco, Garage, Rock, Pop ... it's impossible, I give up!
