Thanks for a great night!

Hi James,

We would like to thank you for playing at our wedding, we had a great evening as did our guests. The DJ service was an important part of the reception and thanks to the opportunity to request songs beforehand, we were able to able to have music that was to our liking and that of our guests. I particularly appreciated the fact that for the more obscure tracks there was no fuss in you getting a hold of them and playing them for us on the night.

Thanks for making this part of our wedding as personal to us as any other part.

Kind regards,

Carrie

Carrie Boardman

Outstanding!

Great from start to finish! The dance floor was always filled.

Would highly recommend!

Stephen McAleavy

Wedding and Events Coordinator

I very much enjoyed your pre-event emails, so that I could check our noted times against your given times to ensure we are on the same page and ensure a smooth service for our joined customer.
This level of communication is quite unique, as we do not have a lot of other bands / dj’s do this.

It was easy and comfortable to deal with you and receiving the required PAT test.

Hope to hear you play with us in the future again!

Kindest Regards

Cornelia Schwan

Perfect and fun Disco!

What a fab night we had. Premier Disco were punctual and so helpful and so much fun! You made sure you played out special request and some of the guests 🙂 the dance floor was never empty! Thanks again for everything.

Siobhan Sharkey

Thanks very much for playing

Thanks very much for playing at our wedding this weekend.

You guys were amazing and really gave a fantastic first introduction to what a Ceilidh is all about to the many people from all over Europe who were at the wedding. We also loved the Disco that struck just the right tone to get pretty much everyone up on the dancefloor at some point.

Thanks also for adapting the set, given the massive delay with the serving of the meal. Was a shame to cut things a bit short – but was just one of those of things.

(My Mum’s also fine now after her slip, just embarrassed and will never live that down…)

Thanks again,

Liam and Mailys

From booking to our actual

From booking to our actual wedding, James offered such a great service, with emails counting down the months to our wedding and providing helpful lists of what we should have booked/looked into. He also provides a brilliant music portal so guests can request songs and the bride and groom can decide if they should get played or not. He also has an extensive music collection which was great because we wanted a rave section at the end of the night and he had all the songs we were looking for. He was great on the night of the wedding and the dance floor was always full, I honestly can’t recommend him enough!

premier discos could not have been more helpful James went over and above to help me out and his dj was impressively well presented and could not have done enough to make the night go great thank you our night was brilliant Alex.

Alex Ferrier

Thank you for an amazing night – Gareth and Steph

Thank you all so much for the incredible ceilidh and disco that you put on for us on Saturday. The ceilidh band were absolutely amazing – great calling, wonderful selection of songs, amazing fun and such talented musicians. The disco was superb, amazing songs, really kept the atmosphere going all night and it was incredible to see the dance floor full until the very end. It was an amazing day, surely the best of our lives, and you played a massive part in that. Thanks greatly, Gareth and Steph

My whole experience with Premier

My whole experience with Premier Disco has been excellent from start to finish. I really enjoyed having the ability to go online and pick our own music recommendations for the event. Everything went so smoothly at our wedding, and there were hardly any people still in their seats – the music was that good.

Thanks for all you did to make our wedding extra special.

James was a wonderful DJ and to be able to choose the music in advance was a great option. The Ceilidh dancing really made our party special. Thank you James!

Alan was very friendly and

Alan was very friendly and helpful. We had asked for a Ceilidh and our caller (a friend of ours with considerable dance experience) was most impressed. And we had great comments from our guests about how much they’d enjoyed the dancing for the whole evening. Thank you for making our day so special.

James was just brilliant! We got married at our own barn venue last
Saturday with James DJ’ing alongside the Ceilidh Experience.
From start to finish we found the whole process slick and easy. We got to choose our own music and make other suggestions via the online tool, what a great touch! James even queried some of our choices in order to make sure he had it just perfect for us on the day/night! Communication was great throughout and on the night it went so smoothly.
Thank you for making our day so special we would highly recommend premier disco for any special event!

Nikki & Paul Miskelly

Excellent night!

James at Premier Disco did such an incredible job at our wedding this past June. He made sure our special requests were played and did a wonderful job of gauging the room, playing music that had everyone out on the dance floor all night long. It made our evening that much more special.

We also rented lawn games (badminton, Jenga, croquet, quoits and boules) through James, and they were the perfect addition to our weekend. There was rarely a moment that the games weren’t being used, at least until the music started and people were out on the dance floor instead!

Rachel Redmond – Wedding 18th April 2026 – Houstoun House

Had premium disco for my wedding on 18 April and they were absolutely brilliant. The DJ had everyone dancing and made it a special evening. Highly recommended.

Wedding DJ

Very pleased with the service for our wedding. Impressed by the online service for requesting music (and the encouragement to use this). Very flexible prior to the event about phone meetings to make arrangements. On the day all our requests were played including ceilidh calling and the progression of music through the night reflected the audience ready and willing to dance well. Very professional service and definately contributed to the success of the evening aspect of our wedding. No complaints, a pleasure to work with.

15 July 2016, Judith and Gary, Wedding reception at Edinburgh Capital Hotel

It was a great idea to be able to choose in advance which tracks were to be played. The DJ played a mix of songs both recent and older which meant all tastes were catered for – the dancefloor was never empty. Thank you for helping us enjoy the day even more!

A brilliant wedding DJ

We were introduced to Premier Disco through the band we booked (The Ceilidh Experience). The whole planning process with the ability to give song preferences was straightforward and comprehensive. The service was very professional and we felt James really kept the party going at all times. We have had a lot of compliments from our guests about the quality of the band and DJ and how well they worked together which I think says it all! Many thanks, Michelle and Tom

James was such a big part of our wedding/party as music told the playlist of our lives together! James took the time to visit the venue, speak to the owners and was fun to deal with. We completely trusted him to not only play for the bride’s arrival through to rocking the place all night. First Class professional who loves what he does and it so well we would highly recommend him Thanks James

Alison & Victor, wedding reception at the Borders Event Centre in Kelso

We used Premier Disco for our wedding in Kelso 10th March. As we are not from around the area we were expecting it to be difficult to organise our entertainment. But thankfully we didn’t need to worry thanks to the online tools and details provided by the Premier disco team.
We just logged on and provided our favourite songs, and they did the rest. Everything was included in the package, with no hidden extras.

On the day set up was on time, we were not !! But it was no problem and they just went with it no fuss, no rushing or panic.

Perfect team, perfect entertainment for our laid back wedding everyone had a fab time, the bride was always on the dance floor even the dogs joined us. Highly recommend. Thank you so much!!!

The Perfect Wedding DJ

Thank you, James – you played a great selection of music – including a lot of our suggestions – that had the dancefloor constantly full and all our guests had a great time. We loved that you’re so organised – your website allowing us to choose our “must play” and outline the order and timing of events actually helped us a lot as well as hopefully helping you. We would highly recommend you and The Ceilidh Experience. Tremendous

Thank you so much!

What does the Wedding Reception DJ package include?

The Wedding Reception package includes professional sound equipment, dance floor and room lighting, wireless microphones for speeches and announcements, a personalised playlist built around your music choices, and MC duties throughout the evening. James will be there from setup to the final song.

How long does the wedding reception DJ set last?

The standard evening reception covers up to 5 hours, typically from around 7pm through to midnight or 1am depending on your venue curfew. Additional time can be arranged if needed.

Can we choose all our own music for the reception?

Absolutely. James works with you before the day to build your playlist around your must-plays, your do-not-plays and the overall mood you want. Nothing gets played that you have not approved. Once booked, you will receive access to your own personal online wedding planning site where you can log all your music choices, must-plays and do-not-plays in your own time.

Do you cover weddings outside Edinburgh?

Yes. Premier Disco covers Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife, the Scottish Borders, Perthshire, Stirlingshire and beyond. Get in touch to confirm availability for your venue.

What happens if something goes wrong with the equipment?

James carries full backup equipment to every wedding. In the unlikely event of a technical issue, backup systems are deployed immediately with no disruption to your evening.
