DJ Howling Wind DJ Howling Wind – music for weddings, private parties and corporate events.

I need a dry, sheltered space with a stable, level surface for the DJ equipment, sound and lighting, plus access to a suitable power supply nearby. We agree on the location and space requirements with you or the venue in advance. Access is also needed before the event for unloading, setup and sound checks.

I need the venue address, approximate guest numbers, dancefloor location and details about unloading access, stairs or lifts, and parking. Please also let me know when I can access the venue for setup, whether there are any sound restrictions, and what time the music must finish. A venue contact helps with coordination.

Yes, I provide professional sound and lighting equipment, along with wireless microphones. Transport, setup and pack-down are included in both packages. We discuss the venue size and guest numbers beforehand to ensure the equipment suits your event.

Yes, background music can be arranged for welcome drinks, dinner and any breaks. We agree on the music and timings beforehand so everything fits your plans. Music during welcome drinks and dinner is included in THE FULL EXPERIENCE.

Please share the layout and schedule before booking so we can plan the sound requirements together. Let me know which areas need music or microphones, whether any spaces are outdoors, and the distances between them. We can then agree on equipment, setup and any additional requirements in advance.

The best gigs are the ones where every generation comes together on the dancefloor — when a classic gets the whole room singing and the wedding couple dances alongside friends and grandparents. I don’t have one favourite venue. For me, it’s the people, the atmosphere and the connection with the guests that make an evening memorable.

I particularly enjoy weddings and parties where different generations share the dancefloor. There’s something special about finding the mix that gets the couple, their friends and their families dancing together. Staff parties are also great fun — when colleagues leave the working day behind and celebrate together, the energy can be fantastic!

I perform at around 60 weddings and events each year as DJ Howling Wind. My open-format style combines disco, house, pop, timeless classics and modern hits. Playing for different audiences has taught me to read the dancefloor and adapt the music in the moment. Personal music planning before each event helps me understand each client’s taste and create a celebration that feels like their own.

The Beatles, Daft Punk and ABBA are major inspirations for me — from The Beatles’ melodies and timeless songwriting to Daft Punk’s groove and ABBA’s ability to bring generations together on the dancefloor. Choosing one favourite song is difficult, but “One More Time” by Daft Punk is high on the list. It captures much of what I love about being a DJ: joy, energy and sharing music with others.

It means I mix across genres and decades rather than stick to one musical style. From disco, pop and timeless classics to house and current hits, I shape the music around your taste and your guests. The aim is to make the evening feel personal while bringing different generations together on the dancefloor.

Arrival and setup times are agreed in advance based on the venue and equipment, so everything is ready before the music begins. THE WEDDING PARTY includes up to four hours of DJ entertainment. With THE FULL EXPERIENCE, we plan the music from welcome drinks and dinner through to the evening party. Exact timings are agreed before booking.

Yes, provided there is a dry, weather-protected space with a stable, level surface and a suitable power supply nearby. The equipment needs protection from rain, moisture and direct sunlight. We discuss the arrangements beforehand and agree on a backup plan in case of bad weather.

Absolutely! Before the event, I usually ask for around ten favourite songs to get a feel for your musical taste. You can also let me know about any songs or genres you would prefer to avoid. I use your preferences as a starting point and read the dancefloor throughout the evening. Guests are welcome to request songs, and I work them into the mix where they fit best.

My aim is to create a personal, energetic celebration where guests feel involved. With a broad mix of music and a feel for the atmosphere, I work to bring generations together on the dancefloor and keep the evening flowing naturally.

Yes! With THE FULL EXPERIENCE, I work with you and your toastmaster to plan musical entrances, special moments and the transition from dinner to dancing. We agree on key songs and cues beforehand, including your first dance, so you can relax and enjoy the celebration. Ceremony music can also be included on request.
