TOP TIP “ Ask your venue for recommendations. The manager or staff will have experience of working with different DJs so will know who’s done a good job and who to stay clear of.” – Iggy Davis, www.iggyweddingdj.com E FOR EXTRAS It’s the little things that make a difference. Think outdoor games, a popcorn cart, ice cream van or traditional fête stalls; perfect for an English country-garden theme. Activity packs are a great idea to keep the little ones amused too, especially during the wedding breakfast and speeches.
