Jonathan P booked Rich Budding for their wedding in Staffordshire • November 2025
“Rich was fantastic, music choices were spot on, crowd interaction was great and he accomodated everything with ease. On the technical side, the sound was great, his light setup worked perfectly with the hall and the volume was just right. Picking a DJ was the hardest part of this for me, but Rich knocked it out the park and we'd hire him again in a hearbeat.”
Beth booked Rich Budding for their wedding • August 2025
“Thoroughly professional DJ, Rich seamlessly blended in with our wedding venue and worked really well with our wedding singer too. Music choice was ace, some of our guests requested a few really obscure tracks as well, and it was great to see Rich had them to hand. We both had an amazing night, would highly recommend Rich to others.”
We were over the moon with our choice.
Tracey booked Rich Budding for their wedding • December 2024
“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. Rich 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.”

Gregor booked Rich Budding for their wedding • November 2024
“Both Alive Network and Rich Budding provided 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! ”
Richard really brought the party to life at our wedding!
Heather booked Rich Budding for their wedding • October 2024
“Richard really brought the party to life at our 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.”
