ENTERTAINMENT EXPERIENCES & SPECIAL TOUCHES

ANDY COLLINSWEDDING ENTERTAINMENT

ANDY COLLINSWedding DJ and Host

8 x award winning DJ 2016 and 2017 Wedding Industry Award Winner - South West & 2 x National Finalist

Amazing wedding entertainment that will surpass your expectations guaranteed.

As a full time wedding specialist I have spent the past 30 years crafting my trade and since that time not much if anything has changed. Weddings are performed the same way every day throughout the UK, because it’s always been done that way and it works!

Except it doesn’t, there is a difference. I am one of very few wedding specialists who are providing clients with a very different wedding experience.

I do things differently, nothing dramatic, just subtle changes and some very special surprises and using my radio presenting experience that will add emotion and laughter - whilst leaving your guests with a feeling of suspense and anticipation of what may happen next, instead of second guessing because your guests have seen it all before at previous weddings.

Don’t settle for ordinary or average. Your wedding has the potential to be absolutely amazing.

Hearing the phrase “that was the best wedding we have ever been to” is the one that I hear time and time again at my client’s weddings. That’s because I do things differently from the majority of DJ’s.

I back up the service that I am offering you by giving you my money back guarantee if you don’t love everything that I will do for you. The skill and attention to detail that I put into each and every wedding is the reason, I have never had to repay a penny.

Would you like to find out more? I would love to share with you what I do, and would love to meet you and hear your love story. If you can’t meet up, then we can arrange a Skype or FaceTime consultation at a time and day that suits you.

My mission is to offer each valued client understanding and friendship hand-in-hand with the highest and most professional wedding entertainment services available. I’m Andy Collins, a highly experienced wedding DJ and Master of Ceremonies, and I’ve been around long enough to realise there’s much more to a successful wedding atmosphere than simply playing music. From the play list, staging, creativity in suggesting new and refreshing outside the box ideas, I aspire

to be the very best in my field regardless of the size, tenure or inclinations of my competitors. From the beginning I have pledged a commitment to excellence and from that pledge I will not waiver. I fully understand that client satisfaction and the quality of my service is the cornerstone of my reputation and I embrace the many challenges and opportunities that will lend to my legacy.

It’s pretty simple: practice your first dance!!

Play the song all the way through and dance together in the weeks preceding the wedding day. This sounds so, so simple - I know - but I cannot begin to tell you how few people do this.

The number one reason, in my opinion, why you should practice your first dance is so you truly know how long it is. Your favourite song always seems shorter than it is when you’re playing it in your car, but when you’re slow dancing with your beloved to a seven-minute song with all eyes on you, it can get real awkward, real quick.

Also remember, if you’re planning some special or choreographed dance routine, make sure you do this in something that is similar to what you will be wearing on your wedding day. It’s all very well practicing in your comfortable jeans but may be a problem when wearing your wedding dress and tuxedo. So, practice! Besides, how is the idea of practicing your song just the two of you, alone in your living room?

If you’re both shy or not comfortable dancing on your own for this period, don’t worry as there are several options available to ensure you are totally relaxed and enjoy every moment of this truly romantic moment.

First Dance!YOUR

Dance the night away to the music that you love, I will give you unprecedented access to my entire music library via your own online planner. So you can create your own unique playlist of the music that you love. Plus, you can also get your friends and family involved too! As they can also use the system that is directly attached to your main account, so you can not only have full control over what’s being requested - but also who’s requesting them.

Utilising this will make your friends and family feel more involved and part of your amazing day, so they will be more relaxed whilst listening to their favourite songs.

Making your own playlist of must plays is just part of the service that I offer my clients to make their weddings unique and totally memorable. Creating memories to last a lifetime.

There are lots of other ideas that I would love to share with you.

Some ideas include:

False endings After Parties Niche Hours

Love to Dance to?WHAT DO YOU

So what is the “Do Not Play” list? Well it’s pretty self-explanatory, right? But why do you need one?

Consider this scenario: a well-intentioned guest walks up to the DJ and suggests a song she either thinks will be romantic or hilarious - doesn’t matter. The problem? That song just happened to be “your song” with an ex or it brings up bad memories from another time in your life. Or perhaps you simply hate whatever song it is and want to run up to the DJ and get him to change it - but then you’d look crazy.

To keep that from happening, talk to your partner and start drafting a list of any songs (and artists, if there are any) you absolutely, positively do not want played at your wedding reception.

You don’t have to give each other any explanations, just draft up the lists, put them together, and either add them to your wedding planner do not play list or send them over to your entertainment provider about a week or so before your big day. This way, if anyone suggests one of these songs, you can rest assured that it won’t be played, and the guest will simply think there wasn’t enough time for it or your DJ doesn’t have it.

Some Stunning Special TouchesTO CREATE THE ‘WOW’ FACTOR!

Sparkular FountainsLooking for something special for your first dance / grand entrance? Look no further.

You NEED this. Only ever available before as a high risk pyrotechnic effect, this is new technology resulting in COLD sparks so are completely safe, and guaranteed WOW!

A “WOW” FACTOR

The ultimate first experience. Using dry ice for your first dance will create the ‘dancing on clouds’ effect. I use real dry ice, so the effect will be stunning. Floor hugging clouds will fill the dance floor area creating a real ‘wow’ factor for your guests as you are dancing away to your chosen song.

Your photographs of your first dance will be the talking point for many happy years to come.

As I use real dry ice (CO2), unlike some of the cheaper providers who use traditional smoke machines there are no issues with venues fire alarm systems. The ice will hug the floor and will simply disappear when it rises above knee level.

Dry IceFOR THE REAL ‘WOW’ FACTOR!

You only get once chance to create a special moment and confetti explosions are perfect for that instant ‘WOW’ at your wedding to capture that special moment during your first dance. Confetti cannons can add something extra special to any event or occasion, matching confetti to the theme of your wedding really does add something spectacular.

These are the latest innovation in dance floors, I keep all of my floors in pristine condition.

All the floors are thoroughly cleaned before and after each hire so at the time of installing it will look as good as new with a high gloss shine ready to accept happy dancing feet and a lovely wedding cake waiting to be cut in the middle of the dance floor.

LED mood-lighting eill simply transform your venue from a beautiful venue in to a stunning venue.

Because I use the latest LED technology which unlike conventional par cans my mood lighting units do not get hot and remain cool to touch, so they are perfectly safe around children big and small alike.

With LED mood lighting you can choose to uplight the full venue, or certain parts of the venue such as just pillars, fireplaces and alcoves. Mood lighting is also especially an ideal solution for marquees instead of the traditional halogen lights

Mood lighting can be matched in colour or colours to your particular theme – with RGBWA/UV colour mixing, we can create literally thousands of shades of colours – so the effect created really is nothing short of fantastic.

Mood LightingTRANSFORM YOUR VENUE

Create a talking point amongst your guests as well as adding the ‘WOW’ factor with a custom monogram, personally custom designed for your wedding. The design of your custom monogram can include your initials, name/s, date, a themed graphic, company logo and more. There’s really no limitation.

Full graphic design service is included, and you have the ability to provide your own artwork, ensuring your custom monogram is exactly how you want it. I will personally work with you throughout your planning process, to ensure your desired look is achieved.

Project your design onto the dance floor, a wall or even the ceiling, to fully showcase your uniquely personalised artwork. Custom Monograms create a beautiful focal point for your Wedding Celebration! This accent lighting also provides photo backdrops that are spectacular.

Monograms

A Wedding post box is not only a fantastic addition to your gifts table but also instantly recognisable so your guests know immediately where to place their cards and small gifts for safe keeping. My replica Royal Mail post box also includes a card inlay which includes your names, venue and wedding date. Just like what you see on a real post box.

If you hire the post box with my wedding entertainment services then you can collect the key directly from myself to collect your cards and gifts. The post box can be collected from my address a few days before your wedding and delivered back the following day after your wedding, or I can deliver if you have hired me as your wedding DJ or any of my other services.
