Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a wedding DJ and a wedding host?
A standard wedding DJ primarily focuses on playing music, while a wedding host combines professional hosting, storytelling, and music curation to create a more personalized and engaging experience. I serve as your complete wedding host, managing the flow of events, making announcements, and ensuring everything runs smoothly while keeping your dancefloor packed.
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?
With over 2,500 events behind me, I've developed an intuitive sense for reading crowds and adapting the music and energy to match your guests' mood. I blend different genres and eras seamlessly, ensuring everyone from grandparents to friends feels included and engaged throughout the celebration.
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?
My unique combination of radio broadcasting background, storytelling expertise, and professional hosting sets me apart. I'm not just playing music – I'm creating a narrative for your day, managing transitions, and ensuring every moment feels intentional and personal. My approach combines the warmth of a friend with the professionalism of an award-winning entertainer.
How involved are you in the planning process?
I'm as involved as you'd like me to be. From our initial consultation through to your wedding day, I provide guidance on timeline, music selection, and special moments. I work closely with your other vendors to ensure seamless coordination and can help with everything from ceremony music to reception flow.
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.
