We received the comments below from some of our clients for the past year that kindly entered us for the 2012 wedding awards, we were short-listed as best entertainment supplier in the South West however, a magician won (we have only ever seen one magician at a wedding!) The comments were anonymous.

“Great music choices without the need to provide your own list of requests, spectacular percussion mix. An excellent performance which lots of our guests agreed with.”

“Nigel took the time to meet with us, listen to what we wanted and was able to taylor our entertainment requirements to our day. We wanted something above and beyond the ordinary choices and he was able to deliver this. In addition to the entertainment acts Nigel is able to help and advise with the decoration design, for example lighting, furnishing and even fire pits.”

“Nigel was great, put us at ease and did the whole job without causing any extra work or oreganisation for us - everyone danced all night!”

“Nigel has that rare talent- a dj who can blend music the couple have asked for and what the guests like which in our case ranged from reggae to doo wop, latina to hip hop. The floor was packed from start to finish and we still get asked for Nigel's details over a year later. He provided the perfect end to a great day.”

“Very friendly and well organized, we enjoyed having Nigel provide the entertainment for the wedding.”

“We were recommended to Nigel and read a little about him on the internet . We had a telephone conversation with him and liked what he had to say , so we drove all the way from our home in Essex to meet him at Babbington House in Somerset where we had lunch and generally chatted about who we were , and what we wanted from each other . Without seeing or hearing Nigel perform , we were sure that we wanted to use him and booked for our big day .”

“Nigel isn't like other DJ's. As well as being a lovely chap who was genuinely excited for us, he is a character whose energy and enthusiasm shines through his set and performance - making it impossible to not have a fabulous night. In our first meeting Nigel didn't ask for a list of our favourite songs, he asked what atmosphere we wanted to create and roughly the style that both we and our guests generally liked. This took the pressure off what otherwise might have been a difficult and time consuming part of the planning process. Time that could was greatly appreciated. It meant we could give him a very small handful of songs that we genuinely loved... the rest of the night was up to him. On the night, Nigel didn't just play the songs and styles that we wanted, regardless of the repsonse. He didn't just play what he wanted, regardless of our tastes. He took our styles, took in the energy and response from the crowd, threw in his own magic sparkle and created an evening to remember. The set started brilliantly and just kept getting better and better. To this day, friends and family still comment on how brilliant the evening was and what a great atmosphere Nigel created. It was a party we will never forget.”

“Perfect from start to finish. We had such an amazing day that Nigel has his work cut out to maintain the standard in the evening. Not only did he do this but raised the bar in the process !!”

“We absolutely loved the entertainment he provided and some of our frieds got so excited towards the end of the party that he broke one of the lamps at the venue! Thanks Nigel for playing all those songs particularly Bonny Tylers 'Holding out for a hero' that you had been so reluctant to play!”

“We are so grateful to Nigel Pierce Entertainment for the DJ set Andy Hill performed during our evening party for our wedding at Brympton D’Evercy on the 25th August. Once everyone got dancing it was hard to pull them off the dance floor at the end of the night. Our guests were very impressed, commenting about the great choice of music and professional light display etc. Many went as far as to say that it was the best wedding DJ experience they had encountered! They were also really pleased that Andy was so accommodating when it came to playing specific requests. In particular, Raffi and I would like to thank you for working to our budget. The wedding market is a minefield for those couples who are struggling to save and pay for their wedding by themselves. It was so refreshing to meet a supplier who did not attempt to push us beyond our limits rather, you delivered our brief expertly.”

“Nigel did not attend himself but the DJ he sent was very very good. If I have another event I will call Nigel 1st. DJ Sunny was seemless and bang on with the music that kept the floor moving at the right time. Everyone commented on how good our entertainment was as we paired the DJ with a Live band to alternate sets.”

“Great wedding DJ. A great mix of our favourite tunes (he even had Booker Newbury III "Lovetown"). No wedding cheddar (apart from the ones requested by my wife!). Nigel even agreed to meet before the wedding to discuss a playlist. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nigel to anyone.”

“We cannot thank Nigel enough for keeping the whole wedding party on their feet, all night!! Everyone commented on Nigel and what an amazing night they had. We were so happy, we couldnt of wished for anything better! The evening was just as good as the day, which is exactly what we wanted! Nigel couldnt do enough for us which gave us piece of mind. We couldnt of wished for a better DJ to complete the happiest day of our lives! I will definatley be recommending Nigel in the future!!”

“From the initial booking to the wedding day itself, the service from Nigel Peirce was perfect. Very quick and easy to oganise with a great service being provided by the NP team. The DJ played the music we wanted, plus several additional (drunken) requests on the night!, and did so very politely and professionally - just what we needed.”

“Very impressed and the music was briliant. The lights were brilliant also.”

“I really appreciated the fact we could leave everything in Nigel's hands and trust him to deliver such an impressive evening of music.”

“Not living in the area in which we married, we relied heavily on recommendations from our venue and on website information. We didn't have to think twice about hiring Nigel to be our wedding dj after reading the comprehensive information on his website and then having a lovely telephone conversation with him. He went out of his way to be helpful and booked a jazz duo for us to play during the wedding ceremony and drinks reception as well. This was a great help to us as we didn't have any other recommendations to go on, and the jazz duo were absolutely fantastic. Nigel was very accommodating at the wedding, altering his set up time to avoid any disruptions to our meal and it was a very professional set up. His music was superb and had people dancing all night long, and he fitted in all our music requests nicely to his set. What a service and it will never be forgotten!”

“The fact that the DJ was prepared to put up with drunken people in a marquee at all and play house music all night to allow us to relive our rather misspent youth was a miracle at all, however he did it with panache and style, knowing exactly what we wanted without having to ask for it all night. He set the tone perfectly and allowed us to dance in wedding dresses suits and wellies till the early hours, before joining us for cider and a hogroast to top the night off. He was a perfect addition to the wedding and exceeded our expectations. Thank-you”

“When planning our wedding we didn't want a "typical" wedding DJ - cheesey songs - aga do etc as we both love our music and wanted to have a good party that all ages would enjoy. On speaking with Nigel initially, he spent ages on the phone with me talking through his career and the types of music he likes playing himself, then at a lot of weddings etc, and i just felt really comfortable that he "got" what we wanted and that he would make the party get going and get everyone up dancing. He did exactly that and we all had a great time. I dont think I stopped dancing all night and the phrase "i love this song" was uttered (screamed!) many a time!! We have had so many friends and family tell us what a great time they had at our wedding and that our DJ was excellent. I have and will continue to recommend Nigel to anyone i know planning a wedding as it was perfect. I had had some other quotes from other wedding DJ's and was expecting Nigel to be a lot more considering his background but was pleasently suprised with his quote and so we booked him straight away. If anyone deserves industry recognition, its Nigel.”

“Just the right mix of fun classics and up-to-date favourites.”

“Nigel was a great dj and listened to what we wanted and adapted his set accordingly.”

“From the very first impression I gained from their website all the way through to the final courtesy call I received a few days before our wedding I just knew I was in safe hands. With everything a bride needs to do before her wedding its nice to come across a company who exceed your expectations. Dealing with Nigel Peirce Entertainment was hassle free. I deliberately wanted no cheesey music and from our very first chat when they asked me about my likes and dislikes I knew 'oops upside your head' was definitely not going to get any airtime! I only have one complaint; because the music was so good I didn't get to talk to all my guests, oh well, there's always our first anniversary. So many of our guests did comment on the great quality and fantastic choice of music. Yes, you can get a local DJ Wanabee to do your disco for £200 but remember this, 'pay peanuts and get monkeys' - Nigel Pierce were worth every penny.”

“Nigel was AMAZING!!! He created a dance floor in a stable block which far exceeded the best clubs in London for atmosphere, play list and general mojo. Mark Ronson mind your back...”

“We had our wedding at Bradley house over an entire weekend from Thursday to Sunday with both Friday and Saturday being the wedding and party days. Nigel was responsible for sourcing and supplying the music and decoration over both days. We decided on a jazz band for Friday as all guests were family and we wanted a sophisticated affair. The band was better than we had imagined and we had a fantastic day. Saturday Nigel sourced us a contemporary band for the reception, JJ Crooner for dinner and his DJ skills for the evening. It was a great mix of entertainment and it left everyone wanting more. He also decorated our venue in a Moroccan style tent which was just fabulous! Everyone still talks about our wedding today! From the minute we met Nigel and his wife he came across very knowledgeable and he gave us confidence that he knew how to create the atmosphere we were after. He definitely had lots of experience. (He is also actually a really nice guy as well which helped.) He was honest on what would work and what would not work which was refreshing and also helped us spend our budget wisely. I would recommend him (and have done so already) to my friends... he's the kind of supplier you can rely on which is so important when organising the most important day of your life.”

“Good communication is the key to success. There was excellent communication before the wedding. They took everything we said on board (& there was a lot!), juggled it around a bit, tossed it in the air and came down with the best night of our lives...amazing! They were spot on! Thanks guys!”

“Excellent advice for choice of wedding songs prior to wedding Provided all the speaker system for the speeches Played great selection of music and guaged the atmosphere in the crowd. Cool lights and soundsystem. Had people offering to pay him cash when he had to finish playing at midnight!!”

“We booked the disco. What can I say. Everyone, young and old enjoyed it. The dj even had the theme tune from Crocodile Dundee. V impressive!”

“Thought he was fabulous and really read the room throughout the evening. Also gave me great advice on lighting which was brilliant.”

“Fast to reply to queries. Flexible with our requests. The DJ brought all of the songs that we asked for to the venue. The DJ made a special mix of the song for the first dance at our request - and did a very good job of it! Complete lack of 'cheese' very welcome!”

“Absolutely great from beginning to end. Very flexible re timings and did what we asked. Just jolly good at his job.Several guests at the wedding asked for his details and at weddings since, mutual guests have said how much better Nigel was than whoever they had.”

“The minute we met Nigel we knew he was the right DJ for us. This was an area we were especially worried about, having heard far too many shocking wedding sets!! We got on well (very important) and booked him straight away. He not only helped out with the music but other suppliers (from cocktail barmen to jazz quartets) and provided some great ideas for the decor and running order for the day. His experience turned out to be invaluable - despite the fact that one of us works in the ents industry, planning and organising a wedding is a completely different challenge. His help beforehand was limitless, from phone calls to meetings. On the day he ensured everything ran smoothly - something all our guests commented on. The DJ set was tailor made for us and our guests but most importantly he diversified the set to cater for everyone while not alienating anyone. It was amazing and totally ROCKED and everyone said it was the best wedding ever!! No mean feat when all our guests love music and love dancing!”

“The whole service that Nigel and his team provided was excellent from start to finish - very efficient communication, good prep work before the event noting all of our requirements, and then excellent tunes, lighting & atmosphere on the night - Thank you!”

“We received fantastic service from Nigel we were so impressed. Nigel found out teh style of music we liked and he came up with an amazing playlist for us.”

“We wanted an awesome wedding with lots of variety to entertain everyone and Nigel and his team certainly gave it!!”

“Rating is very difficult - how many weddings does one get involved with?! Nigel was excellent to deal with in the planning stages ( he answers emails and picks up his phone !) We planned and Nigel executed a brilliant Moroccan themed room - furniture, rugs, hangings and hookah pipes complemented by really good atmospheric lighting and even a palm tree thrown in for good measure! The disco was perfect - great music for all ages plus he dealt with a rather sulky band that we had booked independently. I would unhesitatingly recommend Nigel and his team for their flair, enthusiasm and artistic delivery of this wedding package.”

“The DJ we booked through Nigel - James Malin - absolutely rocked our wedding - he worked the party up to a complete frenzy by the end of the night and was really responsive to what people wanted - rnaging from 80s rock to trance and just a few cheesy classics. James had nice technical skills, and the lighting set up seemed just right. Best of all he seemed to really enjoy playing which makes a big difference to the atmoshpere. Nigel's booking service was professional and gave a lot of detail on what to expect. He answered all queries helpfully and informatively.”

“Nigel Peirce was fantastic - he played all the songs we wanted, and then some! He kept the crowd going all evening and the dancefloor was never empty. He really pitched it perfectly to our guests and we were so pleased with him!”

“brilliant ! made the whole day and everything leading up to it stress free. relaxed but on ther ball, nothing phased him. the saxophonist was amazing too and the chilled ibiza beats her mixed ofr us was bang on !”

“Fabulous music,good timing, got everyone on the dance floor. Great selection of kit (lights etc.). Easy to work with, fun to work with. No hassle. Would hightly recommend.”

“The whole service from start to finish was exellent, we supplied a list on music a week before the wedding and we where NOT disapointed, exellent DJ keeped our guest entertained through out the night with exellent tunes and no cheesey songs which was the reason we booked with Nigel Peirce entertainment. They did exactly what it said on the tin! All our guest have commented on how good the DJ was.”

“My Wife and I were looking for a DJ company that could supply a modern theme to our big day and absolutely no tired old voice overs spoiling the music and none of the old wedding favourites like ABBA !! Just like all weddings we had a wide range of ages to think about and Nigel and his team were extremely open minded in understanding our needs while at the same time offering good ideas and feedback. My wife and I are aging ravers and it was important for us to have the music we will always love play a large part in our big day and Nigel had no problem introducing our play list and more importantly supplying the right DJ to make the set work on the night. My wife and I met because of the love of this music and without the right DJ it would have been complete disaster!! The day and night went off without a hitch, with Nigel’s team working around our schedule to make it all transparent to the guests and us. We are still being told by those invited that it was the best wedding they have ever been too, which even if not true, always puts a smile on my wife’s stunning face. The most impressive thing about all this was that we had booked another DJ company for the night but due to a skiing accident they had to cancel at the last moment and I had to find a replacement very quickly. This makes the service we received even more special. It was a true blessing in disguise. Nigel Peirce Entertainment will always get our recommendation to anyone looking for wedding entertainment, especially if they are looking for a more modern theme or something more personal. Thanks again guys and if we ever get married again your be top of the list!!! Lol Cheers Pete & Stephany Hayes”

“As a dancer I have always wanted my wedding reception to feel like a party for all. One where the bride can really dance to songs she loves. One where guests of all ages can enjoy songs that spark fond memories and create new ones. I chose Nigel Pierce as they shared the same vison as me. I did not want your typical wedding songs like the macarena and silver lightening, but up to date music of all genres that we could have a real party and dance to. This is exactly what me and my husband got! The dancefloor was packed and there were demands for more once the night sadly ended. I love the fact that my friends still talk about how much they loved the music at my wedding and the fact that Nigel took the time to play songs I had requested for many different reasons and for different people so that the whole evening felt very special.”
