INCHBERRY HALL | JULY 2026

James was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! From the moment he started, he had everyone on the dance floor and ready to party. The music was the perfect mix, with something for every age group, and he kept the energy going all night long. I loved that he also interacted with the crowd as well!

Our guests absolutely loved it, and since our wedding, everyone has been talking about how amazing the music was. James has a talent for keeping the party alive. There wasn't a single song I didn't want to dance to – it was perfect!

Not only is he an incredible DJ, but he is also so professional, friendly and easy to work with. We couldn't recommend him enough and would book him again for any future event without hesitation!

James DJ’d our wedding and was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We gave him a playlist and a general idea of the vibe we were hoping for & he got it spot on. Every song felt like it was perfectly chosen & he kept the energy exactly where we wanted it all night long.

We absolutely loved the music & so did our guests. Since the wedding, we’ve had so many compliments about the DJ and the atmosphere he created.

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and would recommend James to anyone looking for an unforgettable party!

Thank you James!

We really have no words for what James pulled off last night but I’m sure everyone’s sore dancing feet will speak volumes!

We booked a Meal til Midnight with James and he had the vibes going before anyone even sat down! None of our guests expected to be singing and dancing at their tables during the meal but they did not stop!

We can’t thank James enough for all the time and effort that was put in, and really made our day amazing! 🪩🎤🎧

DJ James Smith who was so friendly, helpful and kept our dance floor packed all night. We were absolutely blown away by James - he had our 13 year old son up on the decks, kept the energy & vibes high all night and made sure everyone had a blast.

We booked from First Dance to Midnight, and also had a power hour with MoreThanSax alongside James on the decks. What talent from both gents - best party ever. Can’t thank the guys enough, they were both phenomenal!

A very big thank you for the service provided by James Smith at Thainstone House for out wedding day on Saturday. He was superb!

Our guets especially liked his "Dancing for Dummies" for the ceilidh dances. Even my relatives from England joined in and had great fun!
