Adam Carr | Wedding DJ Manchester

I love that room.

...that fireworks display. He got hold of the Pyrotechnics Company, the sent him the video, he matched it to the first dance, I projected it. Just gorgeouls.

This is how I lit the dancefloor. It can be confusing, in a lot of photographs I use flash. We aren't ever dancing with all the room lights on. In fact, I like it very dark.
People dance like no-one is watching, when people cant really see them.

Twirl the bride. People love it, dress looks fantastic. See people's phones at the bottom of the picture. When I say people all around the dancefloor I don't just mean a few in a line blocking everyone elses view. I mean all around.

...but it was very soon after. See the videographer?

First time I played a wedding at The Mere was 2008. I've very few pictures from back then. This was December 20th 2014.

Every though the band preformed the first dance song. I still staged and introduced it. A band's first song is tricky, there's enough going on for them with the room acoustics changing drastically since sound check because now the guests are all in the room. So it helps them if I do it. I love working with bands, especially this one, which was Green Hot Clover.

They cheered so loud, both when Robin and Robert entered the room, and here.

The dancefloor stayed like that for most of the night, through the evening food, right until the end. Robin has an expressive face, you can tell what he's thinking. So playing the songs we'd planned, mixing and watching his, and others, reactions was a really great feeling.

I had to check, because I though I'd accidentally swapped in a last dance / end of the night picture. But no, this is the first dance - All You Need Is Love.

So cheeky, so funny.

... the first dance had gone just like we all wanted.

We met up for out pre wedding meeting at Kirstie's brothers bar in Halifax. From that I knew it would be a special night, and it was.

Manchester based yes, but I do love a road trip.

Ask Beckie, in the foreground turning towards the camera. I drove to Courbon in France for her wedding.

At The Midland (Manchester)

I blogged this wedding the following Halloween.

Yes, the cinema. Ticket stub invites.

Secure a booking with a great Wedding DJ for goodness sake.

So many people (and some DJ's) think they are hiring speakers and lights for five hours.

Have a good long phone chat or meet them in person.

Apologies for the rant.

If great food is top of your list.

This was my second time Wedding DJ'ing at Style Lodge. I love it there.
It's one of the few venues where that curtain goes back and I can put the music on immediately. People mingle and evening guests arrive. Room 'turn-arounds' are more common but there's a few venues with this ability in one form or another.
