It's always nice to be appreciated! I am posting this review not as an ego massage. What would be the point? Gary Trotman says some pleasant things here, but to highlight that when you open yourself up to a new perspective and always strive for excellence, putting others first, beautiful things can happen for you.

Thank you, Gary Trotman Steelasophical Steel Band DJ

"This was going to be a review about a recent wedding Alan and I worked together on just last week at the gorgeous Grand Hotel in Brighton for the wedding of Sally and Phil.

Alan recommended Steelasophical, and Sally secured our services on the strength of that recommendation and asked us to enhance the pre-ceremony and drinks reception with some uplifting Caribbean musical vibes! I could write a lot about that day and working alongside Alan, but I quickly realised this was an opportunity to broaden the scope of my inspired thoughts, praise, and recommendations.

I first knew of Alan right after he had just won the Wedding DJ of the Year 2019 as part of the National Wedding Industry Awards. We have a highly respected mutual friend in common Tony Winyard who I saw congratulating and singing Alans praises and I knew instantly this was someone I needed to get to know and learn more about, as Tony is not someone who lavishes praise likely!! My instincts are rarely wrong, and since 2019, Alan has proved to be a source of inspiration, fountain of knowledge and someone I consider a friend.

I have heard him say that he has been within the industry for over 40 years, There are many who state they have 40 years experience, but what they mean is they have done the same thing over and over again for 40 years (nothing wrong with that. Those are the people you would normally compare purely on how much they will cost you - or as I like to say ‘a nice to have expense”) With Alan though, you can compound that 40 years number several times over in respect to acquired knowledge, learning and experience. The relentless nature of developing new skills and to a high level is staggering - Dj, Compare, MC, Host, Celebrant - and for sure you would be amazed at the impact of one of his newest additions ‘The Love Story’.
He writes articles for publications, guests speaks at conventions, travels internationally to attend trade shows, seminars and training camps, attends focus groups, is brand ambassador for one of the leading providers of physical and digital professional licensed music for DJ’s and is literally a source for daily inspiration to others all over the world via his words and deeds!

If you are having a life changing or life milestone event and would like help with the planning, inspiration, organisation and entertainment aspects, then Alan is your man who’s talents are worth the investment that will continue to reap dividends in great memories for years to come. Some of the reviews he receives from couples would bring tears to your eyes as its amazing how he touches lives! Alan is the assured, experienced, trusted hand at the wheel that will help navigate you through your voyage.

From initial contact through to final carriages. If Alan is so good, why did he not win Wedding Dj of the year more often? … they valued him so highly that they made him a judge, a task he continues to this day!!

I believe Alan to be the type of person who embraces symmetry and chemistry. It is important for him to feel a connection with his clients and for them to have trust instilled in him. As many have testified, if you are able to secure his services, you will feel truly looked after and blessed from the experience.

With much love and kindest regards Gary Trotman Steelasophical Steel Band

Back at the beginning of August, I was the DJ for Any & Jen at Fonthill Estate, working alongside Elegance Unlimited
& One Thousand Words Wedding Photography.

Yesterday, I received this excellent review from my couple, plus these photos from One Thousand Words Wedding Photography.

Andy & Jen's review on Google 5.0

We hired Alan Marshall to be our wedding DJ for our wedding at the start of August this year.

We set quite a challenge for Alan, as we have very particular music tastes. So we asked him to curate a 4hr long proper mix for us, of our favourite music (Anjunadeep), involving expertly blending the tracks to create a continuous stream of fully mixed Melodic House Music. We also implemented a strict "No Cheese" and "No Requests" policy.

We discussed this thoroughly with Alan before bringing him on-board, to ensure he would be willing and able to do what we needed. Through extensive discussions, he assured us that whilst it is not what is normally requested from him, he was willing and capable to put together a mix for us.

Throughout our conversations, Alan exuded complete proffessionality, competence, friendliness and we felt we could fully trust him to pull this off. Although we only required his DJ services, it was clear that he was very experienced in all aspects of the wedding and would have been able to provide additional services to us, had we needed them, which was very reassuring to know that he understood the bigger picture.

On the lead up to the day, we were apprehensive as to how the set would pan out, but the trust that Alan had built with us, eased our concerns, allowing us to be sure that it would all work out.

On the day, Alan played an astounding set of our favourite music. It was all expertly mixed and it absolutely made the whole night. The dancefloor was always populated and our guests had a great time dancing the night away. So many people commented to us on how good the music and the DJ were. Even our photographers were loving the music.

So to summarise, Alan absolutely smashed it. He stepped up to the challenge and really shone as a DJ. He put a lot of time and effort into crafting that set for us and it really showed. The music was so critical to us, so Alan really did make our night and contributed a huge part to creating a perfect day for us.

We genuinely cannot recommend Celebrations with Alan Marshall more and can truly vouch for his DJ skills. We also have absolutely no doubt that if we were to use more of his services, he would have been just as successful.

Last Friday, I enjoyed working alongside the wonderful Abby Lynch from Elegance Unlimited in a marquee on The Fonthill Estate near Salisbury.

The playlist is a little musically different from a typical wedding reception, with my couple requesting four hours of melodic house, electronic, ambient and techno music featuring many from the Ajunadeep label.
I enjoyed creating this very cool set, which was well received by my couple and their guests.

A great memory and wonderful couple

Another throwback this week to May 2019 for a wedding at Warbrook House. Lots of emotions were captured during the beautiful ceremony by the Aldershot registrars which also included some elegant live music by Carousel Quartet.

It was great to work alongside Toastmaster and DJ Alan Marshall who entertained the guests too.

The reflections of the mansion house in the canal are amazing and always a highlight for me! I can't wait to return and see the new bridges that have been built recently!

I first met the Bride and Groom when they were guests at another wedding I photographed the previous year. I hope they had a lovely anniversary last week.

Venue: Warbrook House

Looking back at a June Wedding Celebrations with Alan Marshall

I have just discovered that I have been awarded DJ of the Year 2023/2024 - Hampshire - South West England Prestige Awards. As a professional wedding DJ and master of ceremonies, I am constantly striving to ensure that everything I do for my couples’ big day is the best that it can possibly be. Here is an excerpt from one of the reviews considered during the judging. “After our initial meeting with Alan, we were beyond excited to have him as our master of ceremonies/DJ. We fell in love with how extremely creative and bespoke his services were, but even then, we could not have prepared ourselves for how much impact his services added to our wedding.” Charlotte Kenna-Calcot  I want to thank all my beautiful couples who left a review about their experience of working with Celebrations with Alan Marshall, and you are the reason I wake up with a smile on my face every morning ❤ knowing my couples are winners too️🎉 @celebrationswithalanmarshall

A look back at my set at BPM, a show for DJs where I opened the day. This was part of forty-five minutes of party tunes to kick the day off with two monster 90s Dance Anthems Being a wedding DJ, I created a set that would keep the dance floor packed at a Wedding, from party classics to these dance floor anthems. Insomnia (Monster Mix) - Faithless into Let Me Show You (Original Mix) - Camisra. To discover how I guarantee to keep your dance floor full by clicking the link in my bio ⬇️ #reelsrockstars24 #weddingdj

After months of planning, Kirsty and Martins’s wedding day was perfect. With us providing our popular all-day wedding service, a brilliant celebration was guaranteed. When it came to the evening, the dance floor was full of guests enjoying some dance classics that got the party going, with saxophonist Phill Marshall playing along while I spun the tunes. Martins said, “Not only did Alan ensure that the day ran smoothly, but his support and advice throughout our wedding planning process were invaluable”. “If we were to do it all again, one of the first things I would do is hire Alan” Venue - @salomonsestate_weddings @salomons_estate Photography - @helenenglandphotography Videography - @vertexdrone_ Dress - @morileeofficial Flowers - @rare_nature_floristry_ Suit - @anthony.sinclair.london Hair & Make Up - @kirstenhairandmakeup Venue Decor - @bows_hire Cake - @shelleys_cakes Stationery - @loveinvited Confetti - @theconfettifarm Master of Ceremonies & DJ - @celebrationswithalanmarshall String Trio - @rosegoldstringtrio Saxophonist - Phil Marshall Please give us a like and share it with anyone you know getting married who would like us to help them plan their perfect party.
