DJ Karlton is a professional, highly skilled, experienced and crowd pleasing DJ. An expert at playing at upmarket events, corporate events, weddings clubs or birthday parties. He operates with subtlety, style and with minimal mic work letting the music do the talking.
Experience As far as experience I have been a full time professional DJ for over 2 decades and approaching 5000 gigs across a broad range of events and clubs across the globe, i’ve never really viewed myself as just a mobile DJ and 4500 of my gigs have been in various types of clubs from house, pop, dance, RnB, indie etc. Playlists I’m always happy to work from a music guide or playlist. Mic Style I tend to prefer to let the music do the talking, I’m well spoken and polite and I will make announcements as required but I don’t profess to being a comedian and you won’t hear me
... trying to be one. Kit I’ve attached some pictures of my kit which is elegant, I try to avoid looking like your traditional mobile DJ. As you can see all look more like a nightclub DJ box. Even the basic rig has a very powerful 2000W using high quality QSC and Mackie Speakers. the larger rig will cover a room with 500 people. I use an Apple MacBook Pro Quad Core with SSD for speed and reliability and have a back up system running from my iPad. I have 15,000 popular tracks on my Hard Drive and i’m happy to download others if you have a playlist and even on the night. I make every effort for my rigs not to look like your stereotypical ‘mobile’ DJ Wide range of packages to suit most budgets.

DJ Karlton played at our wedding celebration party last weekend and he was absolutely amazing! He played a fantastic range of music which everyone thoroughly enjoyed, and then later on kept a bunch of us old ravers extremely happy with some absolute bangers and top class mixing skills! Karlton is so friendly and professional and really knows what he's doing. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ and loads of our guests told us afterwards that they thought he was great. We will definitely be asking him back for any future parties! Caroline & Simon

We had DJ Karlton for our wedding last February - and we couldn't have wanted more from a dancefloor. He blended songs that he knew would really get the dancefloor going, along with some of our requests pre-wedding (including an epic closing song). Our guests absolutely loved it - as did we. He also took some brilliant pictures of people dancing which he shared with us. This is really good as often official wedding photographers only stay up to the first dance.
Beforehand, Karlton's communication was great too, clearly outlining what we needed to do and by when, which is very helpful! He was very friendly and easy to chat to on the night itself as well.
Would definitely recommend Karlton!

With these DJs you get exactly what you want. We had a wedding and there were 120 people from the ages of 18months to 83 years.
The dance floor was never empty!!
Some of the song choices were amazing and unprompted. The guys really do know what they are doing! Thank you so much for supplying the soundtrack to our wedding reception! 5 stars 🌟

Amazing DJ, brings the party
Karlton was brilliant all night! His communication before and understanding what music we wanted was brilliant. The rustic rig available was perfect for our day. Music is such a huge part of both our lives and so getting to share special songs with our families and friends are memories we will cherish forever, thank you to Karlton for helping make that happen. He knew exactly what song to play when and his line up was amazing, if there was ever a song that people weren’t vibing with (didn’t happen much at all) then he was so attentive that he noticed straight away and switched to something else. I glanced over a few times and just saw him with a big beaming smile on his face watching us all enjoy ourselves. Would recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a DJ. He even took pics for us that he sent a couple of days after and they were brilliant too. Everyone had the party of their lives.

Kartlon was everything we hoped for and more! He read the room so well and people were always up dancing. It was fantastic seeing all his fantastic props from the magic mirror fill the dance floor! The selection of photos he took throughout the night was a big bonus too. Thank you so much and we hope to party with you again one day!

Fantastic DJ & Magic Mirror!
We chose Karlton for our DJ at our wedding on 15/10/24 from lots of recommendations and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Karlton was very friendly, interacted with the crowd and no request was too big. Communication was fab prior to the event where Karlton asked some questions on what kind of music we do and don't want playing making the evening personalised to us. We also chose to have the Magic Mirror which was such a hit with our guests. They were taking photos all night! I would highly recommend Karlton for any function - great value for money!! Thank you again for making our wedding night memorable!

What a night!
I was genuinely worried about whether people would be up and dancing, an evening reception can be a long time to keep people entertained, especially during long sunny nights in summer. Well... Our dancefloor was full all night! We all had such a good night it was amazing! It never fell flat and Karlton was great at putting something on for everyone - even my grandma was up and dancing. He was so helpful during the planning process and sorting out first dance songs, helping us organise our thoughts with having different playlists he could pull from. No cheesy wedding DJ, it was perfect, thank you!

Dancefloor was packed all night long
DJ Karlton DJ'd at our wedding this month and our dancefloor was packed all night long and every song was an absolute banger. He also brought along the magic mirror photobooth which was one of the biggest highlights of the day - the photobooth assistant put together the most amazing photobook on the night with all of the pictures and its something we will cherish forever! Would highly recommend for your wedding or any event that you want the dancefloor to be booming :) Amalia & Matt
