A few wedding testimonials from the last 2 years
Lyn and Michael Tomlinson @ The Lanesborough Hyde park – London’s most expensive hotel
‘Mitch got the music absolutely perfectly balanced to show our taste in music, but also keep people up and dancing all night. Our friends thought he was the best DJ they had heard, so it was wonderful.’

‘Mitch did an absolutely fabulous job and it was a pleasure to work with him.’ Deborah Dwek – Celebrity wedding planner, Debbie is recommended by Elle Magazine, featured in Marie Claire and Hello magazines and listed as the UK number one wedding coordinator by Cosmopolitan Bride
Dan and Katy Goode @ Chateau Cazenac , Dordogne, France
‘’We were amazed when our French wedding planner recommended Mitch as we already knew him! So we were confident he would not be your typical mobile DJ (something we really wanted to avoid), we were right. Mitch ‘’made’’ the party / evening and every single guest left saying the same thing, they had never heard better music at ANY wedding or had so much fun. Mitch ensured the dance floor stayed not only full, but absolutely packed all night long. In all seriousness Mitch blew us away, we didn’t stop smiling all night long it could not have been any better. He put the icing on what truly was a Perfect Day.
[Below is an email that Dan received, and forwarded to me, from one of his old school friends]
‘Dan, Just a quick note to say that Your wedding was awesome – the setting was beautiful and I have not heard music that good at a wedding ever (any chance of the playlist?)’
Dr Neil and Dr Karen Robinson @ the Mandarin Oriental Knightsbordge
‘It might sound silly, but what you definitely don’t want for your wedding DJ is a bloke that just turns up and plays records. What you really want, is someone like Mitch. Or in fact, actual Mitch. Not only is Mitch one of the coolest, most interesting people you’ll be lucky enough to meet, he will go miles out of his way to make sure he understands what is important for you and your guests…and then deliver it. He is incredibly enthusiastic and passionate about what he does. Which means, he’s brilliant at it! Unbelievably brilliant. For Mitch, helping you to make your day special is not his job, it’s his vocation and he’d be more upset than you if it all went wrong! He knows music (and before you laugh, speak to some of the other cowboy DJs out there….my God!) and he knows how to get people moving. We had so much fun, as did all our guests and I honestly can not recall a moment when the dancefloor was empty. If you read this and think I’m daft then phone Mitch and speak to him. You’ll immediately begin to understand how choosing the right person can be so important for all aspects of your wedding planning. I am without sufficient superlatives to describe Mitch adequately. I’ll merely finish by saying thank you Mitch….you are a gentleman and an absolute legend.’
Ben and Carolyn Guss @ Castlecombe Manor house Wiltshire
‘When you’re planning a wedding, there are so many things to think about and prepare, but booking Mitch was one of the smartest decisions we made. He was incredibly well prepared and professional. His idea of getting our friends to do some DJing on the night was inspired; they thought it was absolutely brilliant and loved being up behind the decks.
Mitch’s ability to know what tracks to play at each stage of the night kept everyone on the dance floor, no matter how tired we were feeling. Every one of our friends said he was the best DJ they had ever seen. Mitch’s sense of humor and fun-loving attitude set the tone of the evening and made for a most memorable wedding. Thank you Mitch!’
Thomas and Chrissy Harding, @ marquee on the banks of the upper Thames in the family garden.
‘We were torn between hiring a band or a dj for our wedding, so we did both. The band performed brilliantly and were a hard act to follow, but Mitch’s skills kept people dancing when the band took a break and kept them on the dance floor well into the early hours. A perfect end to a fantastic day. Many thanks Mitch.’

Jez and Kate O’Brien @ One Great George Street Westminster
“Mitch was great to work with right from the outset. His personality
and creativity made everything fun and hassle free. His suggestion to get our friends to do a bit of the djing really made our guests feel involved, created a real party atmosphere and helped us to make our wedding such a fun evening. We would definitely recommend Mitch to anyone who loves music, dancing and generally enjoying themselves!”
Gavin and Claire @ Chilston Park Kent
With our wedding being on New Years Eve, it was all about the party and everyone having a good time. With this is mind a good DJ was essential! Having rang round a few, Mitch was the first that put us at ease and backed up the talk with a great service. He was the only one that would gladly meet with us before the event rather than just having a ‘consultation’ over the phone. In the event we met up a number of times beforehand including at the venue to decide on the best options to really get the party going. Mitch really sought to understand our music tastes and that of our guests. The result was a fantastic night with cracking music and lots of our guests commending Mitch. The dance floor was full all night and everyone had smiles from ear to ear. I would not hesitate in booking Mitch again for any event and would gladly recommend him to anyone.
Dr Nima and Orla Hashimi @ Chateau La Bourdaisiere Loire valley
Hi Mitch,
Orla and I are back from our honeymoon and we had a wonderful time. I just wanted to thank you so much for your skills and help for our wedding. Your services went above and beyond what they needed to. You also have a very personal and genuine approach to your clients I feel, which makes the experience that extra bit special.
Best wishes to you and Roz in the future
Nima & Orla
Charlie and Steve @ Templeton Manor London
‘One of the best decisions of our wedding was Mitch. It was really important to us that we had a good party and got everyone dancing and that is exactly what Mitch provided. He spent time with us beforehand working out what we and our guests would like and his whole aim was getting the dancefloor full and bouncing all night. And what a night! I am still getting emails from our guests about the choice of tunes and their delight! I can’t recommend Mitch enough.’
[later email received from Charlie]- Truly awesome night (although I’m now regretting doing air guitar on my knees – I hoped no one saw that one but it seems I was spied!) [Yep]
Laura and Matt Chapman @ The Dairy Waddesdon
Mitch Matthews is worth every single penny…book him! Mitch was fantastic from the moment we booked him for our wedding at The Dairy Waddesdon. Not only was he extremly professional, but such great fun, friendly and he really loves what he does. Mitch even drove over 100 miles to meet us & discuss our party thus ensuring he was able to give us the best party ever – and it truly was. Many of our guests asked who the DJ was and also commented that it was the best wedding party they’d ever been to. Highly reccommended, worth every penny, Mitch will give you an event you and your guests will never forget.
Mike and Cathrine @ Christs Hospital West Sussex
I can’t recommend Mitch highly enough. Friendly, helpful and accommodating, he went out of his way to help us plan the music for our evening bash, and saved us so much stress it’s unbelievable. Everyone had a brilliant time thanks to him – he played a perfect mix of stuff that got everyone on the dancefloor, and he reacts superbly to what his audience wants. He is really easy to get in touch with and is lovely and reassuring with you as the stress in the build-up to the big day kicks in! And he even gets you up DJing yourself if you so wish! We have had many, many compliments about the music Mitch played, with some guests saying it was the best wedding do they’ve ever been to. Mitch is the man for you!
Hayley and Phil @ Swynford Paddocks Newmarket
Aside from saying our vows, I have to say that Mitch’s DJing was the highlight of our day. We had guests travelling from as far away as Canada and we really wanted to show them a good time! We were really nervous about the DJ which was included in our venue wedding package – having been at several drab wedding receptions where the DJ’s repertoire had consisted of ‘it’s raining men’ and ‘oops up side your head’with a meager set of lights and dodgy dicky bow. We wanted someone with an edge who would really get the party going – and Mitch did that 110%!! He read our guests and played music which got everyone on the dancefloor – his energy and enthusiasm for music are incredible and he did us proud. Since our wedding, 3 of my friends have got engaged and asked for Mitches details and I just wish we had another celebration so we could us him again. To any bride/groom out there who is worrying about this important wedding ingredient – I would strongly recommend Mitch Matthews – he won’t let you down and will go out of his way to ensure your experience is personal and stress free. He is well worth the price and earns every penny of it!
Mr and Mrs Norman @ The Tythe Barn Oxfordshire
‘We had an amazing day! The evening was brilliant, not least because Mitch put such a lot into it. He is such a nice guy… he was so friendly, a great laugh, and played a great mix; loads of folk have commented on the excellent mix of music. He threw in loads from our play list and kept away from the typical cheese and wedding songs, much to our relief.
Mitch really went for it, getting each and every guest up on the dance floor for our first dance, which is exactly what we requested.
The evening disco something we were both a little anxious about, having been to some dire and lacklustre receptions over the years, but ours was fabulous and a perfect party send off – very many thanks.’
Suzanne and Matt Norman
Mr and Mrs Sparks @ Tythe Barn Oxfordshire
‘Our DJ, Mitch, was superb. He’s full of life and character, and far beyond the average DJ. I would happily recommend him to anyone. His ability to adapt and work within your exact requirements is fantastic.
Booking a DJ was one of the main things we were worried about, as it is something so personal. We had real concerns about booking a stereotypical DJ, which could have meant a very cheesy event. But booking our DJ, Mitch, through [one of my agents] was so easy and so professional… With up-to-date equipment, professionalism and a brilliant personality thrown in, we had a fabulous wedding and have absolutely no problems in recommending Mitch.’
James Sparks
Mr and Mrs Burman @ Charingworth Manor, Gloucestershire
Liam and I would like to send out a MASSIVE thank you to Mitch for the amazing job he did at our Wedding reception last month. We had a brilliant evening and all our guests said what an excellent DJ Mitch was. We gave Mitch hardly any info about the music we liked and the selection of music that he pulled out the bag was just superb!!!!I am so glad that we gave him artistic license as it worked a treat and he played a massive array of music that suited all ages and ranges. Mitch is no mobile disco and is without doubt an entertainer of the highest degree and I would recommend him to everyone that wants the best party. I will be recommending that we have him at my work’s annual party next year, he really was brilliant. [the lack of musical information was their choice.]
Georgina Freeland, @ Great Linford Lakes Buckinghamshire
Mitch was undoubtly the star of my wedding!!! He had a massively hard challenge as we gave him 70 tunes and wanted every one to feature – HE WAS AMAZING! Everyone was shaking his hand and saying it’s the best nights entertainment they’d had had in years! Seriously fantastic DJ, anyone thinking of booking Mitch – think no more – he is quality beyond belief!! Thank you again
Mr and Mrs Syalon Clumber Park Hotel Nottinghamshire
I just wanted to contact you to let you know just how amazing we and the rest of the wedding guests thought Mitch was. I will be contacting him personally to let him know just how perfect he made our wedding. He completly listened to me and Dom when he came to visit us and I really felt like he personaliised our wedding and played the tunes and created the vibe that we had wished for. I know it was my own wedding so may be biased but I have never been to a wedding or a party where the atmosphere was so electric on the dance floor, the floor was never ever empty and to say he ended it on a high is an understatement. We have had so many people comment on him and I am just so pleased we had him for our wedding. I would definitely recommend him and hope other couples have the same experience that we had.

Barclays Bank float Brighton gay pride parade
Mitch was helpful, easy to deal with and professional. He provided great music for the parade, and was extremely helpful in setting everything up and preparing for the event. With a crowd of over 150,000, it can be very difficult to get them involved but Mitch was able to include them in the parade, a touch which they enjoyed and we found to be especially relevant to our message “Success through Inclusion”. I am more than happy to recommend him; he made our day.

Opening of the Herman Miller National Design Centre The Strand London
Dear Mitch
I would like to say a personal thank you for your support at the Herman Millar LNDC Launch last Thursday evening. You where fantastic and your dedication contributed towards an extremely successful event.
The Feedback from Herman Miller has been that they appreciate all of your work and that they enjoyed a fantastic event. We have a brilliant testimonial from Herman Millar’s UK sales director; “Thanks to you and the team for laying on a truly fantastic evening. The launch party confirmed the opening of our new London showroom and served as a celebration and important marketing activity for Herman Miller. I was absolutely delighted with the way the Revelations team dealt with things during the evening. The space looked really good, the drinks where flowing, the music and entertainment was great. I particularly liked the activities outside to welcome people as they arrived. Your team where almost military in their operation and when I walked in the following morning it was hard to tell that we’d had upwards of 600 people through the space just a few hours before.”
I am copying my managing director on this thank you as I believe that your efforts deserve recognition at the highest level.
Once again thank you for your hard work and dedication; we look forwards to working with you again in the very near future.

‘Getting people up on a dance floor is easy; keeping them there is a different story. That’s why we chose Mitch for our after party at the Royal Albert Hall. During the evening Tom Jones set them up, but Mitch knocked them down! What a dj, what a night – I was so impressed I booked him again the next year and for my own wedding.’

‘Mitch regularly joined me to whip up a storm at the monthly Basebeano Saturday night shakedowns at the Bug Bar. Playing a mix of cutting edge dance music, and deep and dirty electronic party flavours, Mitch was guaranteed to keep the floor rocking and always left an enthusiastic and discerning audience screaming for more. I think it’s safe to say the crowd loved his style. I certainly did.’
