Individual Comments

"Helen arrived early to set up, very pleasent, took the time to interact with the guests, as she is a professional photographer too, she told all of our guests off in a joking way, stopping the music and saying "excuse me, I'm this way, and you are all dancing that way, I cant take photos of you side on like that" that got everyone facing the correct way, Helen had a large TV with her playing videos of dances such as macarena and dj casper cha cha slide so the guests could all dance along to it. She also played a slideshow of some of the images of the guests throughout the night, thesw photos were more natural as guests didn't know she was taking them. Helen travelled from Wolverhampton to Leicester for the party, through floods to be there and not let her guests down, she was that good, my wife's uncle runs a social club and asked for her card to be put up behind the bar as a few weeks earlier a dj was asked to leave after only an hour. Thank you Helen for making my wife's 50th birthday so memorable, and capturing special memories especially the limo arriving and the cake, the photos were amazing." Chris

"I was very pleased with the entertainment that was supplied Nik he was very friendly and catered for all ages, the photographs he took and gave a copy of was a real nice touch, I would recommend him to all my friends and family and would use his disco again " Lynn

"Nik came to do the DJ music for the wedding of my daughter 20 year old and her husband 21 yer old. The music played was older generation music, and few guess did enjoy it, but the young people came to us and ask to change the music. Nik was not very approachable and actually said I played 3 requests, but the other music was more 60/70's. Daughter was a bit upset that a request she put through was not played even so the card was signed the bride and another guess. (the song chosen was a tribute to a guess who was unable to attend as she passed away a month before the wedding). The photo taken were very nice, but would have we know that it would only be music played with no interaction because of the photo we would have chosen differently." Claire

"Nil was fantastic. He was always available to contact (or his wife, Helen) and was speedy in his replies. Made the whole event personal and read the audience. I wouldnâ??t hesitate to recommend him." Emma

"Niks choice of music and his whole set up helped make our wedding party special. he was open to guest requests and the CD of guest photography which he provided us with at the end of the day added a new dimension. Very good VFM and would definetly recommend him." John

"Cannot recommend highly enough. We hired Nick for our fancy dress 25th wedding anniversary. We chose Nick as he had great feedback and the added advantage of being a photographer as well and including that in his package. As a DJ he was great. Good equipment and spot on with the music. The photography was the icing on the cake. He was kind enough to take a few â??formalâ?? shots but the best were the informal pics that no one knew he was taking. These would appear on his screen throughout the evening and then we got to keep them on a disk. Itâ??s a great (and far cheaper) alternative to a photo booth. " Chris

"Helen was a fantastic choice, entertaining everyone & took brilliant photos throughout the evening which are a lovely reminder of the party. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. " Mrs Debbie Nicholls

"I was very pleased with Nik and Helen. They did a fantastic job and made the night perfect." Lisa Johnson

"I was very pleased with Nik as he provided an excellent service on the night and everyone enjoyed his show especially the live feed of his pictures taken during the party. I would highly recommend Nik and will definitely use him again. " Paul Burns

"Nik and Helen were excellent. They arrived in plenty of time to set up. They introduced themselves, were polite and courteous. As dj's nothing was too much trouble. They played the pre planned requests and announcements including ad hoc requests on the night. The music played was just what we wanted, a real party atmosphere that all guests enjoyed. The addition of the photos being displayed on the screen was fun and kept guests entertained. Thank you very much. Would have not hesitation in recommending to anyone. Would book them again first choice. " Sean Burridge

"Very pleased with how evening went. Catered for our 70's theme and requests were honoured. The photos are a lovely added bonus. Would happily engage and recommend Helen for any future functions." Paul Russon

"The photos were fantastic and the cd received with all the photos on topped the memorable night . Highly recommend very professional " Simon Edge

"Absolutely amazing service! Nik setup his equipment with no fuss whatsoever. Despite there being limited parking he worked with our other suppliers to move the vans round so I didn't have to do anything. He was friendly, smartly dressed and on time. I mentioned that I was a Counting Crows fan in one of my song requests and he downloaded several other songs by them to play during the night which was very thoughtful of him and a complete surprise to me and my wife. He took photos during the night which were displayed live on a videoscreen. This worked particularly well because we have lots of pictures of our guests reacting to seeing themselves on screen. All the photos (138!) were given to us on a CD at the end of the night so we have something to look at while we're waiting for our official wedding photographer to get back to us. I'm so glad I went with Nik as I nearly booked with a different DJ who was £100 cheaper but decided not to after he tried to up the price for adding a few extra lights. I was also worried that the other DJ only did weddings as a sideline and would prefer to be playing in a club, whereas Nik Andrews specialises in being a Wedding DJ . If you are trying to work out whether it worth paying that little bit extra I can assure you that it definitely is! The price he quoted was inclusive of absolutely everything and he added so much extra that we weren't even expecting. To Nik; Thank you so much! I won't ever be needing a Wedding DJ again but I will definitely recommend you to any of my friends who decide to tie the knot in the future!" Steven Wheeler

"We were very lucky to find Nik at very short notice but will definitely use him again for a Masonic Function" Charles Brice

"Would highly recommend, Did our wedding photographery as well as the evening Dj, really good value for money and everyone commented how good the music choice was, everyone up dancing, we also received our first framed photo on the day, which was a perfect extra touch, so friendly " Lorna Morrell

"Nik and Helen were amazing, I wasn't even aware that they had arrived or set up until the music started playing. They covered all our song requests and everyone loved the big screen with photos of the guests - especially the kids. At the end I was given a CD of all of the photos straight away and couldn't have been happier with my choice. Thank you again Nik and Helen for a wonderful night " Becky Gostick

"Excellent service provided, loved the pictures taken and displayed on the screen, this provided the extra touch to the whole night." Jo campbell

"Helen was excellent and we are so happy we chose her to be our wedding DJ. Included in the package was Helen taking evening photographs which was brilliant as the evening is not often captured once the photographer goes home. Would definitely use again! " Will Pearce

"This was our first time using Helen Andrew's Roadshow, overall the DJ's we're excellent and the photos we're fantastic." Alex

"The specialist wedding DJ was brilliant at our wedding! The online request portal was a brilliant idea and the fact that he filmed our first dance for us and provided us with a CD with all of our pictures on it at the end of the night was something we really appreciated. I'd highly recommend the specialist wedding DJ to anyone. Thanks again Nik" Ben fryer

"Nik was superb and made the night. His photographs of the guests he put on the screen was a great touch and the cd he gave us of the night was a great memory keeper " Lee stanaway

"Nik was ill on he evening so didn't chat much to the audience but he had said he was unwell on arrival so all good. The photos were fab and a lovely touch to add to the evening." Yvonne ONeill

"Nik was a lovely man who obviously knows his job very well and knows how to read an audience. I would definately recommend him to anyone. He took brilliant photos on the night which he gave us at the end of the night. He provided a top class service and he set up and packed up with no fuss or disruption." Jenny Gill

"Photos were provided by Nik as part of the package. These were great photos however, as they were supplied to me on a cd I found it a bit antiquated to access them! " Trudie Dunn

"Lovely friendly DJ, played good music. We especially liked the photo's she took and the way they were displayed during the evening." Mrs Michaela Tainton

"I was very happy with the service Nik provided. Our conversations ensured My Aunt's 90th Birthday Party was truly memorable occasion. My chosen playlist was complimented perfectly by Nik's music videos and are still a talking point with my Aunt and her guests. So too the photos that Nik took of the guests and streamed with our photos - a real viewing pleasure for us all! I would certainly recommend Nik to my friends and will be calling on him again for future. Nik, you professionalism was exemplary -thank you for everything :-) " Miss Stewart

"Helen was a great DJ. She responded very promptly and helpfully to my emails in the run-up to the event. The function on the website for requesting songs was a little awkward to use but useful to have. I really appreciated being able to save requests in advance. Helen finished setting up early and agreed to start earlier too. The song choice was very good, but maybe the requests could have been played a bit more spread out. I also really liked the fact that she took photos, displayed them during the evening and gave them to us on a disc. Thanks, Helen!" Anna Thompson

"Was very pleased mostly profesional although music requestd previously wasnt played and was expecting foam or bubbles which we didnt gt, and supplied many treats for kids as prizes and hardly any was given to kids from helen and we was not given massive supply bk. Helen took them all bk with her." sarah gelder

"Perfect DJ for our perfect wedding reception. THANK YOU X " ESTELLE SPARKES

"Helen did an amazing job as dj for our reception. She listened to the guests requests, was friendly and approachable. The photos and screen with music vids was bonus. The kids loved it especially. Amazing job. " Leah Allen

"It was great! Helen arrived before I did, set up with no fuss! Took some amazing pictures throughout the night, played most of the songs I asked for, and the ones I didn't ask for were the same music type as the ones I'd asked for. And of course the usual party classics were played to get everyone dancing (Macarena etc). Great communication leading up to the event, played right to the end of the night, I couldn't fault her! The music played wasn't to everyone's taste, but it was exactly what I had asked for our wedding disco to be! There is definitely something for everyone in her music collection, (which you can see and choose from before the day), from 50s, to rock, from country to the top 40. Not the cheapest DJ out there, but between the ability to set a song list prior to your event online, and the photos you get at the end, it's definitely worth that little extra!" Danielle Jones-Fisher

"Lovely DJ! Exactly what we needed! Had everyone dancing away all night! Thank you!" Jessica Joyce

"We couldn't ask for better. Nik and Hellen were both very friendly. Arrived early and set up very quickly. Music was exactly what we wanted and the photos were amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone" Chris pluse

"If I could add more stars to the overallv value for money, I would without a second thought. I booked the right disco/dj without a shadow of doubt, he was great and I will look to use him again this year." Stephen Smallwood

"Excellent, couldn't have been any better" Jason Rushmer

"Helen supplied a fabulous service, very professional & a playlist that suited the theme perfectly. We loved the touch with photos of the crowd during the night and that a DVD photo montage of the evening was provided. Nothing was too much trouble, very pleasant lady, very good setup, very interactive! I would have no hesitation in utilising her service again! Cannot fault in any way, shape or form." Paul Andrew Horne

"Nik Andrews was our DJ at myself and Charlotte's wedding back in March. He was very good with announcements. Music choices were great got people up and dancing. We booked from 2pm-midnight and he was very happy to do this for us. The photos he took were amazing also got a disc to see them over and over again. Also they go on to the Facebook page of the DJ and your guests can see and like them also they are projected on the TV screens during the event....nice touch! Photos were amazing too. We had a lovely day and are very greatful for everything Nik did...would definitely recommend Nik a charming gent who will always stick to the requests of the bride and groom but will also take in to consideration request from guests. Great DJ and great price too thanks again Nik." Mark

"They were brilliant to deal with, communications were all that you could ask for. The brief was 70's & 80's music and the dance floor had to be full all the time, and that\'s what happened. The playback of the videos and photos is a great added feature. Would definitely deal with again and definitely recommend." Korin smith

"Good Dj, & fantastic photos. Only negative is he got my name wrong 'Kelly' when my name is Kerry. When he posted the photos on Facebook it was Kelly & James's engagement. Which gave my family a laugh stating they hoped 'Kelly' was paying for the wedding." Kerry dench

"Nik was great, very friendly and easy to get along with. He listened to all that we asked and even found us three new tracks for the evening. I would be very happy to recommend Nik and his team to others." Cassie Anchors

"We have worked with Helen before, she is professional, reliable and has excellent equipment. I would highly recommend booking her for childrens' parties!" RACHAEL DISLEY

"Fantastic DJ. Played our music requests and kept us entertained. Would definitely recommend!" Alison Pell

"Excellent service, would highly recommended to anyone needing a disco" Debbie Challoner

"Absolutely fantastic. I didn\'t even notice he had come in and set up, he announced the cake cutting without fuss even though we hadn\'t asked before the night. The way we could make a play list and guests could make requests via the website or Facebook is the best idea and worked really well. I loved the little touches with special songs requested for things like the hen party and stag do as well as the usual special songs. The disco was fantastic and to have the photos taken as well was a wonderful extra. The photos are great and really captured the fun of the evening. I would highly recommend the specialist wedding DJ. They were professional and friendly to deal with and great value for money." Natalie

"Helen was fab she really made the evening special for us" Giverny Bamber

"We were very happy with the DJ. The best thing was the photos that Helen took throughout the night. These were displayed on a screen during the night and then given to us on a CD at the end of the evening. We did have a list of songs that we wanted to be played and unfortunately, a few of them weren;t played. However, overall the DJ was excellent and I have already recommended her to a number of friends." David

"Great kids disco - all enjoyed it" Caroline Rushton

"The reason I chose this particular DJ was because of the additional services she offered ie video screen for music videos and she also took photographs throughout the evening of the party and gave them to us on a disc at the end of the evening which was a great extra and memory of the event. Helen was very professional and friendly. Her communication both before the event and on the night was great. She ensured that she knew what sort of music we wanted and any specific songs were available. I would definitely recomment her and will use her services again for any other events I have in future." Sue Perkins

"The DJ was great. We especially liked the fact that he took photos at the event and then sent them to me afterwards at no additional cost. This made the event even better as if gave people a chance to have a look at what went on even though they may not have attended." Jess Duffield

"The DJ did a cracking job and it was great to have photos from the evening - many thanks! Perhaps a few more lights were required , 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 a b d e h i k m n p q s t v w x y z but it was all excellent" Dan Brady

"We found Nik to be very friendly and also very obliging. As we had guests who we hadn;t seen for a very long time, we wanted to be able to hold a conversation with them without being drowned out by the music. We also asked that not too many lights were flashing in our faces, and in both cases we got what we requested. As for audience interaction, in fairness Nik didn;t have a lot of opportunity to do his usual thing. We had told him that there probably wouldn;t be much activity on the dancefloor but Nik assured me that as long as we enjoyed the music, that;s all that mattered, and the music was great. A great evening was had by all." Gill. Bassett

"Really appreciated Nik;s contribution to the event. He fitted in well and worked with us to ensure we got just what we wanted." ruth briggs

"Fantastic evening reception for our wedding and the DJ made it just right. Great choices of music and everyone really enjoyed it. Together with the evening photography done by the DJ he made the night one to remember. Would most definitely recommend to anyone." Mark Jackson

"We were extremely happy with the DJ, especially as it was a last minute booking. Also the taking of photos and being given a CD of them was a really good extra." Graham Snelson

"I would definitely recommend - they were perfect for my requirements - I hardly left the dancefloor all night!" Holly

"The photos taken were brilliant and the kids loved the bubble machine. However the DJing could have been better and I;m glad we had a band there also. The DJ had a great online system but many of the songs were not played. We had the option of choosing his attire but that was ignored. He didn;t speak to us at all and didn;t feel very friendly. There was 45 minutes when nothing happened - I thought the DJ would have been on but he was nowhere to be seen. I don;t think he lived up to his name as The Specialist. It wouldn;t have gone amiss for him to actually say hello to us / congratulations etc.. He didn;t discuss the playlist with us. The reception wasn;t spoiled but maybe my expectations were higher." Wendy

"He interacted with his audience and put on a great show. Of note was the photos he took and displayed throughout the evening - a good twist that was well received. He delivered a disc of the photos at the end of the evening which was a nice touch. Would highly recommend." Kevin Jessop

"Fantastic event thanks to Helen! Our members thoroughly enjoyed themselves and have already booked two more dates." Sue Heeley

"The DJ was great. We had a last minute request and Nik sorted it within hours and it was perfect. Nik also takes photos on the night which was fantastic because we didn;t cut our cake until the evening do. He captured it perfectly - natural not posed for. Would definitely recommend." Michelle Lilley

"We were very pleased with the DJ - many people commented on how good he was and the photos on the screen and on DVD afterwards were great - highly recommended" Sarah Evans
