"Richard really bought the party to life at my wedding! I really liked the fact that he listened to my comments about particular musical likes/dislikes prior to the event and was happy to play requests during the evening, unlike some DJ's who never seem to get round to playing what has been requested."

Also a professional lighting engineer for both bands and theatrical productions, you can be assured that the visual effects of Richard's mobile rig are unforgettable.
With the long term aim and passion of having his mobile rig mounted on the back of an articulated lorry, you will find that Richard’s mobile disco just gets better and better, week by week. With a DJ that's committed to every aspect of his show, you are guaranteed a night beyond your expectations!
Richard’s skills as a DJ lie beyond simply traditional popular music and extend to and include funky house, Motown, funk and chilled funk/house.

"Both Alive Network and Richard budding provided s a very professional service and everyone has been very helpful. It was refreshingly hassle free, which is a great benefit when you are organising a wedding.
Richard was excellent. One of the highlights was when he came out midway through to warn me that my main request was about to be played, so that I could get friends together. It really showed that he wanted to make the night a success!"

"Alive Network were professional throughout, providing information and detail as required. The sense of experience and trust was good which pushed me to book.
The service recieved throughout was excellent and I strongly recommend using Alive Network, I will do so again in the future.
As for Richard budding, he was an excellent DJ and made sure the evenign went with a boogie. The dancefloor was packed from start to finish, taking requests and ensuring the good tunes kept on coming.
Before the event he filled you with confidence and was happy to take some direction for the evening. I guess it can be summed up by a number of guests (who like to dance) saying it was the best disco and disco music they had been to...ever!!!!
Thanks very much."

"We were over the moon with our choice. From beginning to end the service provided by Rebecca was impeccable and we felt very reassured that our custom was valued.
Richard Budding was smart, professional and reassuring. On the night he kept the dancefloor filled and I, the bride, felt like I danced the night away.
Richard played so many of the songs we had requested and injected his own choices which kept everyone dancing – the dancefloor was still full when the lights came up.
We really felt that Richard made our wedding the best party ever and we would highly recommend him to anyone."

"Alive were very helpful whenever I made contact with them, and arranging the DJ was easy to do. I had seen Richard DJ at a friends wedding and I thought he did such a great job that I wanted him to play my wedding!
My friend also said that he was very friendly and easy to talk to, so with that recommendation I booked him. Richard did a great job for us too and I would recommend him to anyone I know having a function..
Regards
Susan Harbourne.

"Richard you were everything we could have asked for in getting everyone dancing constantly all evening. Your patience and easy manner was fantastic.
You were genius in playing our first dance again later on in the evening when we were both soo much more relaxed, a very special moment indeed. Your lighting was fab too against all the stone work of the castle."

I would highly recommend him as he played a wide of range of music appealing to all ages and tastes and therefore had people up on the dance floor all night which for me was the most important thing!"

He mixed the songs excellently to provide the perfect lively atmosphere that got everyone involved and dancing and without being cheesy!! "

"Richard was exactly what I wanted from a DJ for my wedding - someone who is very personable and professional, who is willing to work to the brief set by the client but also to be flexible, using his own initiative on the night to please the guests. I have no hesitation in recommending Richard to others and would certainly use him again were I to have another wedding ;)
Excellent DJ all round. Thanks Richard"

"Richard is an absolute cutie. We had asked our guests to make requests in advance so Richard didn't have much freedom in what he could play, which must be very annoying for a DJ. But, he was professional and smiley throughout. Our guests had a wonderful time and it is a shame he couldn't have played for longer. "
