Thanks to all of my past clients for allowing me to be a part of your special events. Here's what you've been saying about DJ Richard after your events:

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a huge thank you for all your efforts on Friday at our wedding. We are so pleased that Saranne recommended you so highly to us, and that we took up that recommendation, as she was so spot on! You are the best. Can't thank you enough!! I will send the 'official' thank you to you of course, but just wanted to get in touch now to say a big thank you in advance of that. All the very best, and thanks again.
With kindest regards,
Melody & Chris, wedding at Tirohana Estate in Martinborough

We just wanted to send a quick email to say thanks again for all your help at the wedding. The music was perfect and it was so nice to know that everything was in your professional hands. Here is a slideshow Eva put together - It really was the most fantastic day! Hope all is well in NZ. We so wish we were back - its miserable here in London! All the best.
Kevin & Hayley's wedding at Black Barn Winery in Havelock North, Hawkes Bay

Thank you Richard. You are wonderful. We had the best night for a long time. I hope you are well rewarded with new referrals from your night with the Rotary Club of Plimmerton
Julie, member of the Rotary Club of Plimmerton

Mate thanks for Fri, we thought everything was excellent, esp. on the DJ/MC front, we had a great time and everything flowed real well!! Thanks for all your work! The guests were very impressed, and we gave your card to a couple of people who are engaged.
Mother of the Bride, Steve & Jacq's wedding at Wallaceville House in Upper Hutt

I have been meaning to contact you sooner to thank you for the fantastic job you did at our wedding! I saw people on the dance floor that I've never seen dancing before and everyone had a great time. It was great that Kane and I didn't have to worry about anything on the day as you helped everything run smoothly. We are still getting comments from people about how beautiful our wedding was and we really wanted to thank you for adding that individual touch to our day which we feel made our wedding different to others we have been to.
Kane & Catherine's wedding at Te Awa Winery in Hastings

Just a wee note to express our sincere thanks for your participation with Sean & Jessica's wedding on 29-11-08. I'm sorry I missed saying goodbye to you. We thoroughly enjoyed your MC work & the way you guided us through the evening. We particularly enjoyed the introduction of the wedding party! Your presentation was impeccable, your sense of humour delightful.

As Mother of the Bride, I appreciated the way you informed us of the plan of the evening & kept us up to date with warnings of impending "moments". We thoroughly enjoyed having you as part of our daughter's "big day" and I have no hesitation in recommending your services to any event organisers. Many, many thanks again. PS: Took a few days to get over the sore feet from the dancing!!
Mother of the Bride, Sean & Jessica's wedding at the Duxton Hotel in Wellington

I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did at our wedding at the Boatshed on the 17th May. Your MC skills were just amazing, the whole day just flowed from start to finish, I didn't have to worry about a thing! My entrance to the Crusaders music was amazing and I will never forget it! So many of our guest commentated on how well our day went and what a good job our MC/DJ did. You read the crowd so well and even had the guys up dancing for once! I don't know how we could have got by without you and I can't stop recommending you to people!
Matthew & Michelle's wedding at The Boatshed in Wellington

Thanks heaps for being part of our special day. The night ran so smoothly thanks to you. We were really happy with your service and how you helped make the night fun.
Jaen & Robyn's wedding at The Wellesley Club in Wellington

Thank you for the excellent job you did as DJ at our wedding. Your professionalism and effort is much appreciated. Your contribution definitely added to making our day a great one.
Gary & Hayley's wedding at Tulloch Country Lodge in Masterton

I would just like to say a HUGE THANKS to the wonderful job you did, so many of the guests at our Wedding commented on how great you were. Things just moved easily along, you read the crowd so well, the music was fantastic, the reception would not have been as good with out you. So once again Thanks very muchly!!!
Tony & Nicolette's wedding at The Holiday Inn in Wellington

Well Nick and I are back in the UK after our honeymoon and I just wanted to say thanks for all your assistance at our wedding in Martinborough at 3 January. As you have MC skills (although we used a friend to do most of the MC work) you used your initiative and did jobs behind the scenes - like opening the marquee up when it got really hot - which was much appreciated.

Your music was brilliant and Nick, in particular, loved the Metallica that was played later in the evening. As advised in advance, my father was worried about the sound level of your music, and taking into consideration he really only likes classical music and jazz, he was really impressed with the sound system how you could still talk yet have fun dancing. Thanks for being part of making it a great day for us and best wishes for 2008!
Sarah & the Metallica-loving Nick's wedding in Martinborough

We would like to say a special thank you for being part of our perfect wedding day. Thank you very much for being an excellent DJ & MC. We had an absolutely wonderful day and we just couldn't be happier.
Alan & Stephanie's wedding at Trentham Gardens in Upper Hutt

Thank you for making our day so easy & satisfying all our last–minute requests. Bet you won't forget our wedding day! From initial meeting to our wedding day, we enjoyed working with you and will recommend you to anyone! Shame we only had one wedding for you to work your magic on. From both of us, thank you so much!
Mark & Marianne's wedding at The Pines in Wellington

Thank you very much for your time and fantastic entertainment last Saturday. We have heard only great things about the night. Thank you once again!
Home & School Committee, Korokoro School, Lower Hutt (Parents and Staff evening)

Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did on our wedding day at Trentham Gardens. It's hard to find the words to say how much of an excellent job you did not only with your DJ work, but also as our MC. We have had so many comments from friends and family about your superb work, you were almost as much of a hit as Aaron and I!.
You are extremely professional and put a lot of effort leading up to our wedding and we really did appreciate the time you spent collecting songs for us and modifying them also. Again, thanks so much for the fantastic work, we are just so pleased and wish you all the best for future work.
Aaron & Julia's wedding at Trentham Gardens in Upper Hutt

Thanks ever so much for the fantastic job you did Richard at my daughter Julia's wedding. You were so neat, really made the day with the structure to the wedding and your skills. You came as a great package with your MC and DJ skills. Our friends were really impressed as were we. We have your card and will pass it onto anyone in the future. Thanks again for helping to make it a great wedding.
Mother of the Bride, Aaron & Julia's wedding at Trentham Gardens in Upper Hutt

Many, many, many thanks for your efforts on Saturday. Your professionalism was just outstanding – we couldn’t have asked for more. Our MC greatly appreciated your support, and accommodation of our very fluid needs. It reinforced that it really does pay to work with good people, and we will be recommending you to others.
Ed & Desiree's wedding at the Tea Gardens at Massey (the Old Museum in Buckle Street), Wellington

I just want to sat THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything that you did for our big day, it was perfect and we had the best time and your skills at working the crowd played a HUGE part in that. All the guests enjoyed themselves and danced the night away even after Steve and I had gone and that is all down to you! You are professional but still fun and definitely know how to read the crowd and get them dancing and enjoying themselves!
You went that extra mile and took photos as well which was fantastic as we didn't have many photos of people on the dance floor! Thank you once again for a top-notch performance!
Steve & Alisia's Wedding at Trentham Gardens in Upper Hutt

Mark and I want to sincerely thank you for making Saturday such a fantastic evening for all. I loved the intro's and I think everyone else did too. You really pulled the whole evening together as the MC and the music was awesome throughout the evening. All my family and friends thought you were great and so do we. Thanks again for all your help, from the consultations to the actual night.
Marc & Charlotte's wedding at the Wellesley Hotel in Wellington

We really enjoyed having you as our MC and DJ. You are very professional and it was great not having to worry. Excellent prep!
Bronwyn, Nura-Life awards night at Mills Reef Winery in Tauranga

THANK YOU for your excellent role/services at the wedding also noting the fact that you had a full-on day. We are still in the recovery mode. Guests have commented about the fantastic dance music dished out by you. We will be recommending you to anyone and everyone who would be looking for an exceptionally competent DJ.
Ana (Father of the Bride), Tunisha & Sioele's wedding at Old Town Hall, Wellington
Ana Goonewardene is happy to be contacted by email if you would like a personal reference of DJ Richard's services. This was the second wedding DJ Richard had entertained for the family and had a unique blend of Sri Lankan & Tongan culture.
Email: ana.g@xtra.co.nz

Just wanted to say thank you for your work last night, Dad called you ‘the glue that held the whole thing together’, and he was right. Lots of people commented on your great presentation, and my only regret is we only have one wedding for you to do your thing at! Thanks again, you helped make the night a really special one.
Graeme & Philippa's wedding at Gear Homestead, Porirua

Thank you so much for the amazing job you did as both a DJ and MC for Alex and I on Friday. We had a magical day and received many comments about how wonderful you were. We particularly appreciate the fine job you did as MC while the speeches were happening, you managed to get the crowd laughing and made it easier on the people giving speeches with your fine introductions! The music was perfect, everyone really enjoyed your selections! Among the comments were quite a few regarding your likeness to Russell Crowe might I add...! You also went over and above the call of duty by transporting the groom and a rather worse for wear bride to The Duxton Hotel, very much appreciated!
Alex & Jane's wedding at the Boatshed, Wellington

We were very, very impressed! We were unsure what to expect having a DJ as opposed to a band but you far exceeded our expectations & hopes. Many of our guests have said ours was the best wedding they'd been to (including their own!) and credit has to go to you for helping us & our guests have such an awesome night. We wouldn't change a thing. Thank you so much!!!
Kelly & Andrew's Wedding at Wallaceville House, Upper Hutt

Finally a note of thanks for doing Bridget & George's wedding. As you can imagine I'd had a pretty busy week & it was a delight to have the music organised without any worries by such a reliable source as yourself. We have one daughter left. Cheers till next time!
Jenny (Mother of the Bride), wedding at Waimarama Beach, Hawke's Bay)

DJ Richard was very professional and handled the task of DJ and MC at our wedding with finesse. We knew to expect this as he had performed to the same high standard at our engagement party. He went the extra mile to ensure his music selections would meet our quite specific needs. He is a DJ who is obviously passionate about what he does. Thank you Richard, we are more than happy to recommend you to any potential customer.
Michael & Chaucey's wedding at the Shanden Golf Club, Lower Hutt

Excellent DJ. Great personality with a 'can do' attitude. Would recommend Richard.
Wendy, Porirua City Council event at Pataka, Porirua

It was a great evening!!!
Dez, TVNZ, 'Dancing With The Stars' wrap party

Just a quick note to thank you for all your efforts on Thursday night to make our 80's Disco Event such a success.  The 105 students you entertained had a spectacular time and it has rated as one of the most enjoyable events at conference through their evaluation forms.  The leaders and I were astounded at the fact that students barely sat down, and the song choices kept them thoroughly entertained the entire night.  We also appreciate that you embraced the theme and did whatever you could to enhance it.  On an organisational level I would personally like to thank you for your professionalism and making my job easier - nothing was a problem for you - and that made all the difference.
Anna Reid, National Manager, Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD)

We both enjoyed the evening very much. Thank you. Also thanks for playing that song I wanted at the very end. LOVED IT!
Lydia & Scott's wedding at the Boatshed, Wellington

We would both like to thank you for the great job you did at our wedding. Your professional, can-do attitude was fantastic and we really appreciated the fact that you went out of your way to ensure the day was as stress free as possible. But above all of that we are grateful for the many extra duties you fulfilled beyond the call of duty. Your advice and experience was a huge help to us. We can certainly back up what you mean on the website when you say "Not your average DJ!"
Evan & Julie's wedding at the Boatshed, Wellington

Richard, we thank you so much for being a part of our special day. Your part in our wedding night was integral to making it an enjoyable evening for all of our guests. Our friends love to dance and your music choice allowed us to boogie the night away. We have some special and memorable moments, the dancing being one of the best! Thanks heaps.
Daniel & Anthea's wedding at the Boatshed, Wellington

Just a quick note to say a HUGE thank you for being such an awesome DJ on our wedding day! We couldn't have chosen a better person. The extra things you did - married couple's dance and especially the boys serenading me(!) - were just fantastic, really made the night more fun. Thanks again Richard!
Jo & Dion's wedding at the Grand Hall at Parliament, Wellington

Many thanks for your efforts at our wedding. Everyone seemed to have a good time and a number of people commented in a most positive light regarding your skills as DJ. We had our concerns prior to the wedding that there may have been only a handful of people prepared to dance, so it was good to see a broad range of people on the dance floor. So well done on achieving this result.
Chris & Stephanie's wedding at Miramar Links Golf Club, Wellington

Just a note to say thanks again for being involved in the wedding reception and helping to run things smoothly! Everyone loved your "game-show" introductions voice!! (you should really think about getting back into radio DJ'ing)
Peter & Li Ling's wedding at Wallaceville House, Upper Hutt

Well done!! Very professional & so friendly. We had a ball, we were able to relax and enjoy. Thank you. Everyone has commented on the event and how they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Neil & Denise's wedding at Gear Homestead

On behalf of everyone who came to the Ball on Saturday night- thank you so much for your part. The evening would not have been the success it was without your involvement. I really appreciate everything you did and I really enjoyed meeting and working with you.
Tracey, Carter Holt Harvey Packaging - Case Central Awards Ball, Levin Memorial Hall

We believe a DJ (music) can either make or break an occasion. It was extremely important to us that all our friends and family had a great time and walked away at the end of the night having had a wonderful and enjoyable time with us. You made our evening!! Your choice in music was spot on and the dance floor was packed until the minute you stopped.
Thanks heaps for making our wedding so memorable to us and all our guests!
Jon & Anita's wedding at Kaitoke Country Gardens, Upper Hutt

From the moment I met you at one of the wedding shows in Wellington to the day of my wedding I knew your style, presence and professionalism was exactly what we wanted. You put us at ease & knowing Paul was very nervous about our first wedding dance, the injection of humour and natural manner relaxed the evening. Our friends were exhausted at the end of the evening from all of their boogying and many compliments were received about your stylish dress and professional impression. Many thanks.
Paul & Irene's wedding at Gear Homestead, Porirua

Thanks very much! Everybody had a great night and danced the night away.
Malcolm & Barbara's Wedding at Kaitoke Country Gardens, Upper Hutt

What an amazing job. Steve and I were extremely impressed with the service from Richard, totally professional and great with people of all ages especially the young children, letting them put on the headphones. They are still talking about it and keep saying "What a cool guy!" It was great to involve everyone with the dancing. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves, expressing this on Sunday. Steve and I will be recommending your services to our friends and family. You did such an AWESOME job and we have lots of special memories. Keep up the fantastic work!
Steve & Meg's wedding at Wallaceville House, Upper Hutt

Shaun and I were absolutely over the moon with everything you did for us- from being our MC, hosting the night so well and being our DJ with fantastic music that suited everyone of all ages. Even the Grandparents were dancing! We think you're absolutely fantastic and hope to see you again in the future. You made our day so special and we will never forget that. Thanks to you Richard. Bloody Awesome!! Please put our comments on your website & contact details if people want to talk to us about you.

Sheridan & Craig, Telecom Mobile Staff Christmas Party at the Petone Working Men's Club, Wellington

Very professional, excellent equipment. We will recommend you to friends!
Zanda & Rhonda's wedding at The Boatshed, Wellington

We received several excellent comments, one even just today. Someone who attended commented on how impressed she was at how appropriately and professionally you fitted in to the occasion. Although the evening passed in a blur for us and we didn't get a chance to notice all the music played, it was clear that our guests really enjoyed your selection of music and the dancing. It was great being able to use your microphone too for the speeches.
Jo & Alan's wedding at Marsden House, Wellington

I have to say that I was very nervous about the notion of a DJ, I never dance, never, but I danced all night. Great choice of music and excellent compromising to accommodate the diverse range of tastes there. Everybody, from bridesmaids to mother in law, I have spoken to since has said that they had a wonderful time and yours was a job well done.
Nic & Frith's wedding at The Skyline, Wellington

Phil & I would like to thank you very much for a hugely enjoyable night at our wedding reception last Saturday. We had a wonderful day and it was rounded out perfectly with great music that had the dance floor full all night. Even my parents broke all records for staying up late and boogying away (well sort of) with the rest of us. Your choice of music was totally right for us 30+ something's and it was great to be able to talk during the dancing. Yay- no ringing ears the next morning.
Phil & Amanda's wedding in a Marquee near Masterton

Thank you for your great service. The day was brilliant.

Sorry we didn't get a chance to thank you properly on the night, but thanks for doing a brilliant job DJ'ing at our wedding. We all had a fantastic night!
Ivan & Jo's wedding

Just a short note to say thank you very much for your contribution to the success of the 25th Jubilee of the college held over Easter weekend. We had many complimentary comments made to us about the high standard of the disco and the number of people dancing, plus the length of time they danced, is testimony in itself. Thank you once again.
Parkway College Jubilee Committee, School Jubilee in Wainuiomata
