We booked Ricky Gold to DJ our Wedding at MacDonald Elmers Court Hotel & Resort in Lymington earlier this month (June 2023).

During our initial planning meeting over Zoom, we discussed music and our love for the 90s and 00s.

Our dream was to end the night with a 2 hour rave featuring Euro Dance/Trance hits of the 90s and 00s and incorporate some UV lighting and glowsticks. We also wanted to ensure other guests were catered for earlier in the evening and requested Ricky create us a list of cheesy 90s and 00s party hits to go with our 90s / 00s theme e.g. Backstreet Boys, Macarena, Five etc.

After our initial planning meeting we created our favourite songs list using Ricky's Client Portal. We also entered additional details into his planning form to explain fully what we wanted / didn't want from our wedding disco.

The client portal was a fantastic addition as we could completely plan our evening and how we wanted it to go. We could choose our taste and genre of music, what could and couldn’t be played and what time certain songs like our first dance should be played as well.

This also allows you to make payments quick and easy, made communication very easy with swift replies and made planning the evening very easy and stress free.

Regarding the music, we could not have been more impressed with the choice of music that was played at the beginning of the evening for everyone to dance and this was left in the hands of the DJ all that we asked was it could only be 90’s & 00’s dance and cheesy as this would of been what we were listening to in our clubbing prime and where we first met which he done an amazing job with as the dance floor was never empty and we got to re-live our youth. I really couldn’t think it could get any better until he went into fully swing for our rave part of the evening when the songs and mixing were flawless, with the addition of glow sticks it made it an unforgettable night. Also this is all recorded for you to listen to again when you feel the urge to get your dancing shoes on.

This was all enhanced by the array of lighting that was supplied as part of the package. There’s normally dark parts of a room but in this case this was cured by the addition of uplighting which really set the room off. These could also be colour coded to suit your needs so we had blue in the first part of the evening matching our colour theme for the wedding then multi coloured for the later raving part of the evening which really took us back to our clubbing days.

A really good option is the video recording which is filming all night so you get to re-live the day over and over.

Ricky recently DJ'd at my wedding and we were very impressed with all aspects of his service from start to finish.

We were looking for a DJ who had a passion for dance music (new and old) so added our details to Add to Event and he promptly contacted us. After having a look at his website we decided to meet up with Ricky and he outlined what he could offer us and how he could help make it our dream wedding party, at a very reasonable price.

After this chat it was a no brainer for us and once we confirmed, Ricky set up a client portal for us where we could upload the tracks we wanted him to play onto a playlist, make payments and input the finer details surrounding the evening. This process worked very well and was incredibly easy to use.

We decided to add on the video recording of the evening party. I would certainly recommend this as you've always got it to look back on, and it provides a few laughs/embarrassing moments that you may have forgotten about. We also decided to go for a personalised branding board with our names/date of wedding on which was well designed. He also offers photo booths.

The quality of the equipment/lighting he used was to a high standard and created a great party atmosphere for us (he has a range of different lighting options for people to choose from).

Me and my wife love festivals and felt Ricky could relate to this and he really knew what we were looking for with the overall vibe. The party included EDM, Drum n Bass, Trance and Ibiza Anthems.

We were very happy that we chose Ricky as our wedding DJ and certainly wouldn't hesitate using him in the future for any other special occasions.

"We used DJ Ricky gold for our wedding at Longthorns Farm in Wareham on the 2/10/21 he was amazing from start to finish, great video call at the very beginning to see what sort of thing we were after.

You can pick songs / add songs from Spotify and put them onto his website. He then makes a playlist for you.

It was a very wet and windy day but everyone loved him. Very easy to contact and happy to help nothing is too much to ask. Top man and a great DJ.

We did say we didn’t like cheesy songs so wanted him to avoid them as much as possible. But apparently some of the guests love that sort of thing so he was adding a few in the mix to keep everyone happy. But again he didn’t go to crazy knowing it’s not our thing.

Great choice of lighting happy to add different things to make your evening even better but not pushy / trying to get you to have everything he has to offer.

Overall he was amazing, arrived in good time set up was quick.

You can even get a personal board to go on the DJ booth. Me and my wife loved this idea and at the end of the night it’s yours to keep!

Thanks for everything,

Love Kayleigh and Jonathan"

"DJ Ricky Gold was booked at very last minute for our wedding at the end of July and he was able to create a wonderful evening which we and all our wedding guests, enjoyed very much.

It was the party we had all been waiting for and marked the end of lockdown in style 😊"

"I hired DJ Ricky Gold to play at my works Christmas function. He arrived in plenty of time and was very well dressed and presentable for the occasion. He played a playlist of mixed varieties that were requested prior to the evening.

He checked in via phone-call a week before the event to ensure that everything was ok and to see if we had anymore requests. I mentioned a few things and even though he had not played that specific genre before he still managed to put it into his set.

Above all I would hire DJ Ricky Gold again in a heart beat as he can read the room and cater to the mood of the crowd very well, and keep the party going and people enjoying themselves.

Thank you very much for an outstanding evening."
