Goole Wedding Singer & DJ

Good Morning All,

We had a lovely weekend at Carlton Towers this weekend for Rebecca & Andrews Wedding. 

We've had the pleasure at performing at quite a few weddings at Carlton Towers now and it is always a pleasure to go back, it is a fabulous venue and can be hired exclusively.

Rebecca & Andrew booked us over two years ago so it was great to finally see all their plans come together on their big day.

They booked our Platinum Package for their big day and chose some brilliant songs.

Wonderful Tonight (Eric Clapton version) was their first dance performed live by Yorkshire Wedding Singer Lee Jon. Rebecca also chose Bridge over troubled water (Simon & Garfunkel version) for the dance with her dad, Wedding Singer Lee Jon learnt this song to perform live for Rebecca as it was a new one for our live collection. A special touch for the night was a surprise request from Rebecca's mum a few weeks ago, who called up and asked if Lee could sing them a song dedicated to Rebecca, in Rebecca's mum's words the song from the NSPCC advert on the TV, Ill stand by you by the Pretenders, which was absolutely no problem to do for Goole wedding singer Lee Jon.

A few days before the wedding I received an e-mail from Rebecca to ask if Lee could perform another special song for her auntie who's 60th birthday was on the day of the wedding, she requested Lee sing her You raise me up by Westlife, Lee performed the song for Rebecca's auntie at the end of his 1st set of the night and Rebecca's auntie was in floods of 'happy' tears.

The night carried on with disco requests made by Rebecca mixed in with a selection of our chosen disco songs, Lee Jon performed 2 x 45 minute sets for Rebecca & Andrew, the second set was a collection of 60's, 80's and current days songs which went down a treat.

As Yorkshire Wedding Entertainers we are quite used to requests and changes to any wedding day and are extremely flexible to requests and ideas that you may have. 

We wish Rebecca & Andrew a lifetime of happiness xx

We performed at Carlton Towers for Jonny Howson's wedding (who plays for premier league football team Norwich City)  back in June which was also another fabulous wedding, their big day is written about in one of our other posts.

Wedding Singer & DJ in Manchester

We had the pleasure of performing for Sara & Mick's big day at Great John Street Hotel in Manchester back in January 2013.

Despite the horrendous bad weather everything went perfectly, we arrived in plenty of time. Sara & Mick had previously married abroad and held a wedding party for their family and friend in the UK . They booked our Platinum Package for the party and Wedding Singer Lee Jon performed a varied selection of songs Sara & Mick had chosen with Wedding DJ Hollie playing until late. 


Sara & Mick chose for Manchester Wedding Singer Lee Jon some Rat Pack and Swing Classics to start then drifting into some Rock, Pop and good old party classics to get the whole family up and dancing.


We used our Bose L1 v2 system for the whole of the evening reception, it fitted in perfectly with the cool surroundings and decor of the hotel.


We used a minimal lighting selection for the party as the room did not require big and bulky equipment. 


We knew we had provided a good service as two of their wedding guests called us the next day to book Lancashire Wedding Singer Lee Jon and DJ Hollie for their future wedding receptions, RESULT!!


Mick left us a lovely review Hi Hollie, I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and Lee for helping us make our night very special – you were both great and we hope you got home safe in the snow! We will keep your details on file and will have no hesitation recommending you to friends in future. Thanks again Mick


We wish Sara and  Mick all the happiness for their future together!!

Wedding Singer in Warwickshire

We had the pleasure of entertaining Sam & Andy for their big day at Ansty Hall in Coventry Warwickshire in April.

We had worked at Ansty Hall a number of times previously so we knew our way around.

Sam & Andy had booked our Diamond Package and had chosen for Lee Jon to perform some love songs at their wedding breakfast.

Lee Jon performed a collection of love songs that Sam and Andy had chosen, the songs were a perfect addition to the afternoon wedding breakfast and wedding breakfast singer Lee Jon created a fitting atmosphere. Lee Jon also acted as Sam & Andy's Master of ceremonies and announced the three speeches. We used our Bose L1 V2 system for the wedding breakfast the surround sound output is much easier on the ear for ceremonies and wedding breakfasts than typical loud speaker systems.

After the wedding breakfast the wedding party retired to freshen up for the evening reception which was being held in the Orangery, we had already set up a separate DJ booth and Live system for the evening in the Orangery so there was no dashing around moving one system into another room.

Sam & Andy had the projected Monogramme on their dance floor which soon became a talking point with all their guests, they had chosen to have their first names and wedding date.

Warwickshire wedding singer Lee Jon performed their first dance and followed with a 45 min set of love songs and up beat tracks that Sam & Andy had chosen and requested. Wedding Singer Lee Jon also performed Sam and her fathers dance. Wedding DJ Hollie carried on the night with a selection of up beat party classics and songs from all ages to add variety for all the guests young and old. Coventry Wedding Singer Lee Jon performed another 45 min set later on in the evening with a selection of rock, pop and modern days classics all chosen by Sam & Andy from Lee Jon's extensive track list. All the wedding guests had a good old dance and threw some good shapes on the dance floor. We finished the night on a high with a live song performed by wedding singer Lee Jon for Sam & Andy's last dance. 

Sam & Andy sent us a lovely text the next day: Hi both, Everything was fantastic. Everyone commented on how great lee jon was , and how they enjoyed the disco. It is us that should be thanking you. Kind regards andy and Sam x x 

A lovely confirmation of a job well done.

We wish Sam & Andy a wonderful future together!!

Sheffield Wedding Singer

We started a rare sunny morning in June for Benjamin & Mandy's Wedding Ceremony at the fabulous Rutland Hotel - Sheffield

We arrived just after 11am to set up in the elegant Dovedale Suite for the ceremony starting at 1pm.

We used our new Bose L1 V2 system for the ceremony as it's live acoustic sound and small set up is perfect for ceremonies, as you can see in the below pictures taken on the day the speaker system is very slim and so is perfect for ceremonies and Wedding Breakfast's.

 
 
 
 



Mandy and Ben had chosen some fab songs to be performed by Lee Jon:

Waiting Song - Come what may from Moulin Rouge
Waiting Song - Amazed by Lonestar
Entrance of the Bride - Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
Signing of the register - Just the way you are by Bruno Mars
Signing of the register - Lego House by ED Sheeran
Exit of the New Mr & Mrs - Your Song by Elton John

Lee performed two waiting songs for the room full of guests and then sang Chasing Cars as Mandy walkied down the aisle. The signing of the register songs were a perfect addition to the beautiful ceremony and The New Mr & Mrs were sang out of the room to 'Your Song' by ceremony wedding singer Lee Jon a perfect finish to a perfect ceremony.

We wish Ben & Mandy a wonderful life together xx

Projected Monogramme

One of the brilliant 'ad on's' Wedding Singer Lee Jon offers is little extra 'Projected Monogramme', this is a fab way of personalizing your dance floor.




Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference, so we offer some different extra touches that can make your wedding celebration stand out. One such thing is our projected monogram, this usually takes the form of the bride & grooms initials, names, date of wedding etc projected down onto the dance floor.
The design can be quite detailed (as pictured) or a very simple classic monogram. 


The monograms are £30.00 and have to be ordered at least 2 weeks prior to the wedding as each one is an unique glass slide. (which you will be given to keep after the event in a gift wrapped frame ).

Middlesbrough Wedding Singer

We first met Valerie & Geoff back in June 2011 at another wedding we had played at. They enquired the following year and booked The Platinum Package for their wedding in October 2012 at The Wainstones Hotel. Their wedding had a twist special to them both, it was a Gothic wedding styled their own way and Geoff was a really big Bon Jovi Fan. Valerie asked what Lee would be wearing so we decided to organise a costume for Lee to go with their theme, from the steampunk jacket, biker boots, to baroque cravat we gave it some attention to detail, you will see from their testimonial below how it was appreciated.

Valerie and Geoff's music was aimed at there theme with a really good choice of Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Guns 'n' Roses. They chose 'Bed of Roses' by Bon Jovi performed by Lee for their first Dance and the rest of the evening was a rocking night of soft rock and rock classics performed by Lee Jon chosen by Valerie & Geoff. 

We had a fab night and the music and costume's were appreciated by all their guests, we wish Valerie & Geoff loads of luck for their future together xx

Fantastic
'Sorry our review is a bit late....We first met Lee & his wife Holly at a friends wedding and thought they were pretty good, until they played at our wedding on 6th October 2012 and WOW they were fantastic.... We had a bit of a themed wedding and Lee offered to dress the part and he done it so well one of the evening guest's husbands thought he was the groom... We had Lee & his lovely wife Holly for evening entertainment and Lee was so good when he sang the song for our first dance guests thought it was the record playing, and that must be a plus when he was singing a Bon Jovie song!!!, and this was the kind of songs he sang all night, so YES an excellent rock star.!!!..When Holly took over for the disco she kept everyone in high spirits and the dance floor was always full... We would recommend this couple for any occasion especially if you want something really special for your wedding they will do you proud..!!! Thank you both so much you helped our special day end well.xxx'

North Yorkshire Wedding Singer - Emma & Tom

A wonderful Christmas Wedding....

We first heard from Emma and Tom in January 2012.

They booked our Diamond Package for their Christmas Wedding.

We started the day in the early afternoon on a crisp wintry morning, Emma & Tom were married at 2pm at the beautiful Aldwark Manor near York.



Emma and Tom had asked Lee to learn some new songs for their big day, these were:

Jack Johnson - Do you remember (this was to be there first dance)
The Killers - Mr Brightside
Bruno Mars - Marry You

We arrived to set up straight after their ceremony had taken place, and the Wedding Breakfast begun at 4.00pm. Emma & Tom's Wedding Breakfast begun with their speeches with Lee Jon acting as Master of Ceremonies. Throughout their Wedding Breakfast we played a fitting selection of background music to fill the room whilst the guests were enjoying their food and chatting.

Swiftly flowing into the evening reception which began at 7.30 after the staff at Aldwark Manor had turned the room around.

At 8pm Emma and Tom were invited by Lee to cut there cake followed by their First Dance performed live by Lee, it was extra special to Emma & Tom to have Jack Johnson's - Do you remember as their first dance and Lee had no hesitation in learning it for them. The first dance was followed by a 45 minute live set from Lee Jon of songs that Emma & Tom had chosen from Lee's extensive list of live tracks available. Emma & Tom's first dance was captured forever by the fantastic Ian Wallace who supplied some amazing images of the day.



They chose a varied mixture of everything to cater for all their guests, they chose a mixture of Rat Pack and Swing music for the first set of the night with songs such as Feeling Good - Michael Buble, Fly me to the Moon - Frank Sinatra and It had to be you - Harry Connick Jnr among many others.

The dance floor was never empty and all the guests had a turn to get up and dance, the next two live sets from Lee were again chosen completely by Emma & Tom and had a very varied mix of music from Jon Bon Jovi to Roy Orbison. With songs such as Sex on Fire - Kings of Leon, I don't want to miss a thing - Aerosmith, All these things that I have done - The Killers, Everybody - Blues Brothers, and The one and Only - Chesney Hawkes. There was some fantastic dancing from all the guests especially from Tom's groomsmen when they asked us to play Gangnam Style for them, I think that is a memory from the day no one will forget!

The evening finished on a high with a track chosen by Emma & Tom - Foo Fighters - Everlong....

We wish Emma & Tom a wonderful future together and wish them the best of luck and love for wherever there newly married life will take them xx
