It truly means a lot that you're supporting my DJ business, and I can't wait to bring the tunes to your events! Appreciate you all! 🎶🙌. Also here's some tongue and cheek to have a laugh with

The father-daughter dance is a heartfelt moment that captures the love and bond they share—one that wedding guests always cherish. Often, this special dance is followed by another touching tradition: the mother-son dance, celebrating the groom’s journey with his mother by his side.

This song is amazing and beautiful in every way possible .... My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me, thank ...

These past few weeks, I’ve been feeling so humbled by the incredible bookings I’ve received lately. A massive thank you to everyone who has supported my DJ business!

To the wonderful brides and grooms who’ve trusted me to be part of their special day, and then gone on to recommend me to their friends, family, and even nominate me for awards like the The Scottish Wedding Awards – your belief in me is truly appreciated.

To amazing venues like the Garfield House Hotel and the Eglinton Arms Hotel, and the fantastic suppliers who recommend me as their preferred DJ, thank you for your continued support.

And of course, to Celtic Park Events for trusting me with entertaining at Christmas party nights, St. Patrick’s celebrations, and cup finals – opportunities that even led to hosting and DJing at the UEFA Champions League, where I’ve had the privilege of interviewing past players live on stage.

I’m beyond grateful for all the trust, support, and opportunities that have come my way. Thank you all for being part of this amazing journey! 🙌🎧

Today, we lay my best friend Hugh to rest. Hugh courageously fought a tough battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis, and sadly, we lost him too soon.

Hugh was an incredible DJ, and I had the privilege of learning so much from him back in the day. Later, he went on to become a successful Humanist celebrant, bringing joy to countless couples on their special day.

His kindness, talent, and laughter will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him. Rest in peace, Hugh. You will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️

🌟 Supplier Spotlight: 1stdance 🌟
Hi everyone, it's been a while since I introduced myself!

My name is Christopher Matthews, and I’m the principal DJ at 1stdance. 🎶

💎 Why Book 1stdance?
With over 25 award nominations and multiple awards won, you can trust that you’re in safe hands on your big day.

🎵 What Music Do I Play?
I cater to all genres, and with 1stdance, you have the freedom to create your own playlist—from the first track to the very last.

👔 Why Choose Me Over a Venue Master of Ceremonies?
I focus exclusively on you during the biggest day of your life. I take the time to build a relationship with you both before your wedding day, ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Your aisle music will be edited and customised for a seamless experience (no awkward long intros).

I’ll handle music during your meal, including interactive fun and games to keep your guests entertained.

Unlike many venue MCs, who often juggle tasks like food service timing or venue dressing, I dedicate myself 100% to your experience.

🎸 What if I Have a Band?
If you’re having a band and only need me for the last two hours, that’s no problem! However, for health and safety reasons, I recommend setting up alongside the band during room turnaround. Entering a packed dance floor at 9:30 PM with equipment could be risky.

☕ Can We Meet Before Booking?
Absolutely! Let’s meet for a no-obligation coffee to chat and share ideas about your big day.

With 1stdance, your wedding is more than just an event—it’s a celebration tailored to you. Let’s make it unforgettable. 💍✨
