"I love to take a playlist from the bride and groom. I really encourage them to put themselves into their playlist, so that the night's dancing has their DNA in it. I use it as a blueprint to build a set that I know will get EVERYONE up and dancing, from young to old, even those that never usually dance. Because I play everything from the 60s through to the current day, I can always appeal to the whole room. I am a multi-genre DJ with 11 years of club and wedding experience, so of course I can play anything from Disco to Afrobeat, 90s Dance to 90s RnB, Indie to Pop, I love it all. It's all about connecting with the guests, and creating a night that everyone will remember. I give all my energy to ensure it's a success, and work with my clients to ensure any intricacy or detail is covered, logistically and musically."
The Party of Your Life

DJ Bukky brought the vibes! It was a perfect evening, and DJ Bukky did a great job playing all of our favorite hits, with a few ones we hadn't even thought of but perfectly fit the night. He had great range, playing pop, dance, R&B, reggaeton and even some merengue hits (one of the couple is latino and had some special requests). He had all of his equipment as well, and did a great job coordinating with our vendors to have everything ready without a hitch. Thank you again Bukunola!

My now wife and I hired Bukky through a recommendation, for our wedding reception. Definitely one of the best decisions we made, we couldn’t ask for anything more. He was easy to communicate with and responsive. In a moment of crisis when our venue said their speakers weren’t available, Bukky was super calm, ready and able to solve the issue. On the day, the music was on point. He got the vibe of the crowd and the room. Accommodated all our request through out the process. The party was literally jumping by the end of the night. Would hire him again in a heartbeat (are you free next weekend?!). One of the main objectives was to have my wife dance all night and Bukky delivered, she never left the dance floor. Thanks Bukky for making our big day one we won’t forget. We are in cloud 9. ✌🏽🖖🏽

"DJ Bukky played at our wedding and put together the PERFECT set. He was always super helpful in the lead up suggesting different songs and organised the sound system himself. We suggested a style of music we enjoyed and let him work his magic. He was charming, friendly and warm and can’t recommend him enough!"

I would highly recommend Bukky to anyone needing a DJ for any event he was professional leading up to our event. At the event he was friendly, energetic and helpful and the set he provided was epic definitely made the evening of our wedding a great one! Cheers Bukky!!

Playlist Consultation
1. Can I provide my own playlist?
FAQ's
Absolutely! I actively encourage you to provide a playlist. Whether it's big or small, anywhere from 20 to 200 songs, it helps to put a microscope on exactly the music you love. I will then use it as a blueprint to compliment it. You may also provide genres.
2. What about songs that I don't want to be played?
I also encourage clients to provide a "blacklist" for songs they really do not like. One person's cheese is another man's gold, therefore it does no harm to spell out what you do not like. Wedding guests may expect songs you do not like, for example - but of course, it's your wedding!
4. What communication can I expect on the run up to the wedding?
Imagine not being able to get in touch with your DJ during the run up to the event, or if they are uncommunicative. What a nightmare! I pride myself on being strong in communication with clients throughout the run up to the event. We will need to co-ordinate, therefore my whatsapp is always open and I arrange a call just before the wedding to iron out any details that you may not have thought of.
5. How much does it cost?
Costing is dependent upon a few factors including:
1. Location of the venue
2. Duties at the wedding
3. Length of time
4. Equipment requested
I also offer discounts based upon payment options to make my services more accessible. I bet you never thought you'd hear the word 'discount' when it comes to a wedding!
6. Why would we hire you over somebody else?
Most couples hire me because they don't want a cheesy wedding DJ. As well as DJ'ing weddings for years, I have a decades worth of experience DJ'ing in Clubs, both commercial and underground, across multiple genres, which gives me an edge to your cheesy wedding DJ in the Hawaiian top shouting 'this ones for you at the back'. For example even if you want some 'cheesy' songs you don't necessarily want a cheesy person playing it!
I am also a 'safe pair of hands'. Having DJ'd for 11 years I guarantee results, am extremely reliable and have strong communication, all reflected in my 5 star review on Google.
7. What does your full set up look?
You can check out my full set up here. Extras can always be ordered in from my suppliers:
8. Bride and Groom come from two different backgrounds, how would you make a mixed crowd work, for example English and Non-English?
I am often hired because I am an expert at bridging cultural gaps between wedding guests. I myself am English, from West Yorkshire originally, so perfectly in tune with English culture. I am also half Nigerian, and have a very strong understanding of Urban Music, Black culture & Asian Music/Culture. Because I am keen to learn about different cultures, this is reflected in my breadth of musical knowledge.
8. I have a question not on this FAQ.
Then don't be a stranger! ;)
