Trusted by Premium Venues
I've worked in hundreds of venues across the South of England, from five-star London hotels to barn conversions and marquees in fields. I know the quirks: which rooms have sound limiters, where the power sockets are, and how long the turnaround takes between ceremony and reception.

How it works
Discovery call
15 minutes to swap ideas and check fit. We'll discuss your vision, music preferences, and how I can make your celebration uniquely yours.
Planning session
Music portal, timeline and creative touches. You'll get access to your personal music portal and we'll plan every detail together.
Your day
Calm hosting, smooth flow, packed dancefloor. I run the day and mix the night while you enjoy it. Adding a band too? That works brilliantly. I handle the handovers.
What Sets Me Apart
Tactful hosting
I host the day with warmth and timing, not a red coat and a gavel. Former radio presenter. I know how to hold a room.
Live mixing, not playlists
Club-trained mixing applied to weddings. I read the floor in real time and adjust on the fly. When the energy dips, I know which track pulls it back.
International background
DJed in 14 countries. Hindu ceremonies, Jewish celebrations, West African receptions. I learn the pronunciation of every name and understand traditions I didn't grow up with.
Calm in the planning
You'll have a timeline, a music plan, and someone who's already spoken to your venue coordinator. No surprises on the day.
The Love Story
Your story, told to the room during dinner. It's the thing guests talk about at breakfast the next morning. It breaks the ice and sets the tone for the evening.
Money-back guarantee
I back every wedding with a written guarantee. If I don't deliver what we agreed, I refund the DJ fee. Most DJs won't put that in writing.

Testimonials preview
"What truly set Tony apart was his masterful role as MC. Orchestrating the event with such grace and humour, ensuring a smooth flow from one segment to the next. His 'Love Story' presentation was a highlight, bringing our journey as a couple to life in a way that was both touching and entertaining."
"From the moment we met Tony we knew we had found the right wedding DJ. He helped to create the most fantastic party, better than I had even hoped for. So much so that a guest asked if he was our friend!"

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a wedding DJ and a wedding host?
A standard wedding DJ primarily focuses on playing music. I combine professional hosting, storytelling, and live mixing in one person. I manage the flow of events, make announcements, tell your Love Story during dinner, and keep the dancefloor packed. No handoff between two people, no miscommunication. See the full comparison.
How far in advance should I book a wedding DJ?
Most couples book 12-18 months in advance for peak season dates (May-October). For other times, 6-12 months is usually sufficient, though it's always best to inquire as soon as you've set your date. Popular venues and dates fill up quickly, so early booking ensures you get your preferred entertainment.
What areas do you cover for wedding entertainment?
Most of my weddings are in Berkshire, Surrey, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. I also cover London and nearby counties by request.
Do you provide all equipment and setup?
Yes, I bring a complete professional sound and lighting setup suitable for any venue. This includes speakers, microphones, lighting effects, and all necessary cables. I handle all setup and breakdown, ensuring your venue is left exactly as I found it.
Can you accommodate special music requests?
Absolutely! Your music preferences are central to the planning process. You'll have access to your own music portal where you can build out must-plays, do-not-plays, and everything in between. I specialize in creating playlists that reflect your taste while keeping your guests dancing all night.
Does Tony Winyard offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. If you're not satisfied with how Tony has hosted your wedding, he will refund your full fee. No questions asked. After 2,500+ weddings, he is confident in his service but prioritizes client peace of mind.
What's your approach to reading the room?
25 years of reading rooms. I watch the floor, not a screen. When the energy shifts, I adjust in real time, blending genres and eras so everyone from grandparents to friends finds their moment on the dancefloor.
Do you have experience with LGBTQ+ and multicultural weddings?
Yes, I have extensive experience hosting diverse celebrations and understand the importance of inclusive language and respecting your unique vision for the day. Many of my LGBTQ+ and multicultural clients come to me because they want someone who gets it – someone who knows how to blend elegance, energy, and fun without assumptions or awkwardness. Learn more about LGBTQ+ weddings.
What makes your service different from other wedding DJs?
I'm your DJ and your MC in one person. No handoff between two people who've never met. I plan your timeline, host the room, tell your Love Story during dinner, and DJ the night. That combination is unusual. Most DJs don't MC, and most MCs don't mix live.
How involved are you in the planning process?
As involved as you'd like. From our initial consultation through to your wedding day, I provide guidance on timeline, music selection, and special moments. I coordinate with your other suppliers, and you get access to your own music portal to build your playlists at your own pace.
What happens if you're ill on our wedding day?
I'm a member of the National Association of DJs (NADJ), which provides a professional network of vetted DJs across the UK. In the extremely unlikely event of an emergency, you'd have access to an equally qualified professional who'd be briefed on all your details, ensuring your day is completely protected.
