Wedding at Sandyhills Golf Club

Jacqui & James McDevitt contacted me April 2012 looking for their entertainment for their wedding in a year’s time.  I popped out to their house and met them to discuss what they were looking for on their day and they liked what they saw.  They booked me on the night and we then set out to plan the wedding of the year.  They were up for everything I suggested and what a night it was when it arrived.

The wedding was held at the Sandylands Golf Club in Glasgow on the 12th April 2013.  After the wedding breakfast the hall was turned around swiftly by the venue staff and Jacqui & James were formally announced on to the floor for their first dance as husband and wife.  Everyone else was invited to join them on the second song and the party was well and truly on the way.  During the night we had ceilidh dancing, the shoe game, throwing the bouquet, the lot.  It was amazing.  Everyone was out for a good night and it showed.

As always I took lots of pictures that can be seen here.. Jacqui & James’s Pictures

TESTIMONIAL

On our special day we hired Hugh to be our wedding DJ.
From the first meeting right thru we found him very professional.
On the night he showed up prompt and with a great attitude. From the moment he arrived he put both my wife and I at ease.

His personal touches were above and beyond what we were expecting and really added to the night. Everyone had such a great night and that was largely down to Hugh. Everyone commented on how great he was and how much they enjoyed him.

We also echo that he made our night both as a DJ and as a great host. We would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Wedding Reception at Moffat House Hotel

Wedding Disco in Moffat House Hotel

Ian Hannah first contacted me at the beginning of the year.  He was looking for an entertainer for his wedding reception just a few months away and I had come recommended from another DJ.  I called in to their house for a meeting and met both Seonaid and Ian.  I asked what they were looking for and gave them a run down on what I have done in the past to make their day special, and it was agreed that I was going to be their entertainment and that they were having a ceilidh disco on the night.

The wedding was held on the 6th April 2013, and I have to say Seonaid looked stunning on the day and Ian was the perfect gentleman with his Scottish dress too.  I announced them in for the first dance and this led on to a great night of dancing and singing along with all their family and friends.

This was my first trip to Moffat House Hotel.  A family ran business with lots of personality.  It has stunning gardens for great pictures on a sunny day too.  Paul is the man in charge and I found him really good to work with.  For those DJs reading this, access is through the kitchen out right at the stage area.  No stairs involved at all.

As usual I took plenty of pictures on the night and you can see them all here..  Seonaid and Ian’s pictures

Wedding Reception Disco in Kincaid House Hotel, Milton on Campsie

Wedding Reception Disco in Lanarkshire

It had been 2 years since i last played at the Kincaid House Hotel.  It’s an old country house that has a beautiful garden and conservatory excellent for weddings.

Dawn and Ryan McAlindin’s wedding reception was held here on the 5th April 2013 and when i say it was full of friends and family it was no understatement.  The hall was full of guests and they told me there was another 80 to come….  I said where are they going..?  Great to be popular..!  The night started a bit slow waiting for Dawn and Ryan to tell me they were ready for their 1st dance, but late as it was it was worth waiting for.  The venue is a series of rooms rather than a hall so it’s hard to get an atmosphere for everyone, but i played music for the ones that stayed in the conservatory with me and as you will see in the photographs,they had a ball.

You can see all of the pictures taken on the night here….. Dawn and Ryan’s Pictures

Wedding Reception in Dumfries

Seamus and Beverley O Dwyer celebrated their wedding in the Easterbrook halls in Dumfries on the 30th March 2013.  It was a smooth drive down and when I arrived they were just serving dinner.  I noted that there was two halls and that there was two weddings on at the same time, boy it was busy.!

I had met Beverly and her father last July so we knew each other and we had plenty of correspondence and chats on the phone, so we knew how the night was going to go.

The 1st dance got under way as soon as i was set up “Rule the world – Take that” and the wedding party were asked to join in half way through.  During the night we had cheese, rock pop and ceilidh too…  everyone had their shot on the dance floor and we ended with old blue eyes “Frank Sinatra – New York”

Wedding Disco at House For An Art Lover

Collette and Gavin Riggs celebrated their wedding at House for an art lover in Bellahouston Park in Glasgow on the 24th March 2013.

I must admit it was a bit drab and rainy on the day but that didn’t stop everyone drinking and having a great night on the dance floor.  Collette and Gavin had arranged a singer for their 1st dance and i played a backing track that was supplied.  After the formalities it was dance time.  I was supplied a reasonable list of songs that they liked and i worked out what would work together and made some great sets that filled the floor.  It was an 80s and 90s night bot we had a few Ceilidh tracks thrown in too and i called the dances and demonstrated where required.

Once again the night ended with Lock Lomond and everyone was up for the final dance of the night.

To see all the pictures taken on the night click this link Collette & Gavin’s Pictures.

Wedding Disco at the Carnbooth House Hotel

couple-1Wedding Reception at the Carnbooth House

Jennifer & Craig Faskin celebrated their wedding at the Carnbooth House Hotel in Carmunnock Glasgow on the 16th March 2013.  It was held in the Marquee on the grounds of the house and it was full of family and friends.

Normally I will have a gallery of pictures and maybe a small video, but the client asked me not to put this on the internet so it’s just the one picture of the bride and groom this time.  Trust me when I say they had a great time on the night and sore feet with all the dancing.

I should be back to play in the Carnbooth house again soon, It’s a great venue with fantastic staff.  Well worth a look…!!

Wedding at the Cruin Bar & Restaurant Loch Lomond

Wedding Reception, Cruin Bar & Restaurant

The 15th March 2013 was the date set by Michelle and Charlie Cunning to get married, and Loch Lomond was firmly in their sight.  The wedding reception celebration was held at the Cruin Bar & Restaurant right on the back of Loch Lomond.  Truly spectacular views can be had on a clear bright day, and I’m sure the photographer made full advantage on the day.

I arrived early as usual and had a cup of tea in the lounge area while they were eating the wedding breakfast.  Thank you to the staff for that..!!  Once the meal was over it was time for the turn around, the set up was done as quickly as possible and everyone was invited through from the far lounge.  The bride and groom were announced on to the floor for the first dance and the party was well and truly on the way.

After about an hour everything went off…!!!!  OMG..!!  No electricity..??  Note to future entertainers do not use the bottom set of sockets.  I moved my plugs to the ones further up and the rest of the night went fine.

Once again all the very best to Michelle and Charlie, I hope you have a great future ahead of you..

Wedding Reception Entertainment at House for an Art Lover in Glasgow

Posted on 02/02/2013 by DJ Shuggy

Wedding Reception Disco in Glasgow

Sioned and Phil Steventon’s Wedding reception was held at the House for an Art Lover on the 2nd February 2013.

I had met Sioned and Phil at a client meeting in the venue a few months back and they asked to have a big input on the choice of music for their night and it was agreed.  I was given a two page list of tracks that they and their guests had compiled and I agreed that they were OK.  It was mainly Indie and light rock tracks, and I made sure that I had them for the night.

The House for an Art Lover is a Macintosh designed building, it has pictures, drawings and photographs on display for anyone that appreciates art, and it is a really popular wedding venue in Glasgow.

I arrived and set up in the corner and awaited the wedding party coming down stairs from the hall above where they were having the wedding breakfast.  Everyone eventually came down and it was time to get the party rolling..  I congratulated the happy couple and went over the formalities etc.  I asked it there was any songs not to play, and I was told No ABBA..! lol

All night long I was pestered by guests begging me to play an Abba track…  I was even offered ever increasing amounts of money to play one…!!  But Sioned said NO..!! and that was that..  The night was jumping, well it was the music they chose so I would have been upset if they weren’t on the floor, and to keep everyone else happy I played an Erasure version of an Abba track near the end.. !!  Well it wasn’t Abba…  LOL.

As usual all the pictures were uploaded to a gallery on my Facebook page and you can see them all by clicking the link below..
