“I highly recommend DJ Dan James. He was charming and well-organised throughout and took the trouble to get a sense of our musical tastes which he then combined with his music and made our mix-of-all-ages partygoers dance all night. We all had a great time.”

Mary, Party, London Rowing Club, June 2024

“You made my 30th birthday party - thank you so much! The dance floor was packed all night and your mixture of classics and current hits was spot on. We all danced like absolute nutters and have you to thank for that!”

Jordan, Birthday party in London, April 2024

“Thank you so much! Your music made my wedding and there has been so much talk about how great you were ever since! Thanks for the indie disco set you did at the end - much appreciated and I will be highly recommending you to any one that needs a DJ in the future!”

Hannah, Wedding in South London, August 2023

“The DJ was by far the best DJ we have ever hired or seen anywhere. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music, and he managed to keep the kids entertained all night. The second to last song (Sandstorm, Darude) is an absolute favourite of both of ours – just a shame we had a slow dance to finish off! All we need to do now is find an excuse to book him again! Using Function Central was nice and easy and I’d recommend friends to use you.”

Patrick, Wedding, July 2023

“You will probably remember that we booked the DJ through you to perform at a sixth form school ball, so it was an integral part of the night. But he was perfect for what we wanted, and more! Great DJ who played the songs we requested. The light and sound quality was exceptional. The same high quality can be said for the agency too. Function Central were easy to communicate with, informative and extremely helpful. I am now at University but have recommended your agency and DJ to this year's Ball committee.”
