  1. Mark. Wow. If I could give you more than 5 stars I would! If I had to sum up your DJ-ing in 3 words, its ‘Above and Beyond’.
    When we had our first meeting with Mark we instantly knew our search for a DJ was over.
    We had a few meetings, and in every single one I felt like I was talking to more of a friend than to our DJ.
    He got to know us and our story, our family and our friends and created the best atmosphere ever.
    We had an intimate wedding, just shy of 40 guests, and Mark made sure the dance floor was never empty. He got to know our guests, cracked jokes and created a mood that I will forever relive as the most magical, precious day of my life.
    We said we wanted to do it all over again! I don’t think I can count the amount of times that our guests said how brilliant our DJ was.
    Words can’t do justice for Mark’s work and his personality.
    We would definitely recommend having Mark as your DJ, we know we will for sure if/when we have another function.

  2. Marks your man if you’re looking for personal interactions, fantastic music, and loads of laughs at your event! I would 100% recommend booking with him.
    Mark went above and beyond to make our evening truly unforgettable. Not only did he absolutely rock it as our DJ and master of ceremonies all night, but he also stepped in as the officiant for our mock wedding ceremony (we officaly eloped) before the evening kicked off — and he absolutely nailed it. He brought energy, fun, and a personal touch to every single moment. We couldn’t have asked for more.
    The effort he put in before the event to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it was second to none. You can tell he truly loves and values what he does — and it shows. He goes the extra mile in every possible way.
    Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and are still talking about it two weeks later!
    He truly is amazing at what he does, unique and one of a kind.
    If you’re still on the fence thinking, “Should I book?” — just do it. You won’t be disappointed!

  3. Mark played at my best friend’s wedding, and after seeing how incredible he was, it was a no-brainer when it came to choosing who we wanted for our own perfect day.

    From the very beginning, Mark was amazing — he took the time to get in touch beforehand, learning about our love story and making sure everything felt personal and meaningful. He created the perfect atmosphere, had everyone talking about how great he was, and truly went above and beyond.

    One of the most unforgettable moments was when he made our 6-year-old daughter’s dream come true by letting her sing to us. The entire room was filled with emotion — there wasn’t a dry eye in sight.

    Mark, thank you for helping to make our wedding day so special. You weren’t just our DJ — you were part of the magic. ❤️

  4. Mark, we don’t even know where to start … you are absolutely amazing, so talented and we 100% recommend you to others!

    Mark, we first met you at our friends wedding and we knew from the minute Charlie was referred to as Ed Sheeran and he referred to you as Jason Statham we would get on incredibly and you were the one for our wedding DJ! When we go in contact, you were so relaxed, so approachable, so reassuring and so keen to make our wedding perfect – we loved this! Fast forward to our final wedding meeting and you helped to finalise the details, make the music work and allowed us to bring the songs that meant so much to us and our family. The wedding evening came and you were there, thoroughly setting up your incredible station, getting to know guests and preparing for the BEST night ahead.

    If you are looking for someone who gets guests dancing, that don’t usually dance … someone who knows the details about your guests that make them feel involved and special … someone who wants you to have the best time … Mark is the man! From dancing, singing, announcements, photos, lights and so much love, our wedding was perfect and that is thanks to you, Mark! A huge thank you and 100% recommendation. We want to get married all over again, to experience the evening of music, laughter, love and personal touches you provided throughout the whole of our wedding evening reception.

  5. Having been recommended Mark by a friend.
    I am so grateful.
    From the start to the end Mark was amazing.
    Not like your usual DJ.
    We finely went through our music choice with him and he recommended what would work too. Plus he shared our excitement for the day. Sending us photos of the set up the day before, after he had fitted our personalised sign to his dj set up. Mark is amazing. He introduced us to the audience giving us time to look around and take it all in. His speech was amazing, he lifted the room as well as playing fab music.
    He even captured the most natural photos and shared them the very same evening at 2am.
    We can’t thank you enough, so many of our guests have been commenting. Honestly, you made our wedding evening so special and even sang a song to us all. You got the crown at every point and made us feel so special as newly weds. Thank you soooooo much Mark! One of a kind 🙂

  6. We booked Mark through the Motorcycle Museum / NCC for a school Prom. He was terrific! He met with me beforehand, learnt about the school and it’s values / statements and requested songs from the students which was a service we had never received before. On the night, he was fantastic. He made everyone feel at ease, interacted with the students brilliantly and played some absolute bangers. He built rapport with the students remembering names and gauging their personalities perfectly. All in all a fantasic DJ & Host and one that I would recommend to anyone and that we would book again.

    Thanks Mark … same again next year please.

  7. We booked Mark for our wedding reception which was last week at Moxhull hall we had a teams with him a few days before and and completed a spread sheet he had given us, on the teams he asked different things about family and friends and it was apparent he was a lovely genuine person and really put us at ease! He came to see us at the wedding breakfast to say hello and meet some of the guests it’s absolutely fantastic how he remembers everything about everyone he really made our night a week on people are still commenting how good he was he was truly amazing! He made the night perfect not only is he a DJ but entertainer and singer, he got my daughter and husband on the dance floor and sang there wedding song to them it was beautiful, he got the kids to join in played all the music we asked for told our little love story to our guests had banter with us and the guests his just brilliant!! Mark thank you you made our wedding 🤍 you really did we couldn’t have asked for anyone better we want to do it all over again now 😂🤍xx

  8. My new husband and I booked Mark as our evening entertainment. We couldn’t have asked for any better. He greeted us on the afternoon like old friends after only talking on video calls and texts. He took the time to learn everything about our family and friends and treated them like friends of his too. We have been asked by so many guests how do we know Mark as that’s how he made the group feel.

    He created the best party atmosphere and the dance floor never cleared. It was a constant stream of everyone’s favourites.

    Thank you Mark for making our evening memorable, can’t recommend you enough

  9. WOW WOW WOW!!
    Mark once again, you were absolutely amazing!

    I hosted my first charity ladies day and there was no other person better for the job! Mark bought entertainment, love, and so much laughter throughout the whole day! There was really no other person we wanted to help host the day with and he helped us raise over £2350 for MacMillan Nurses. Every single person who attended the day have all commented on how brilliant you were. Mark , you really are the best! xx

  10. On the 7th 06 2025 myself and my now husband tied the knot ,mark hosted our evening reception,he made the whole experience personal and enjoyable,he made everyone feel at ease and it felt like we had known him all our lives ,my friends and family have all commented on his personal touch ,it an experience we will treasure forever x

  11. If you want a DJ who will play only generic playlists, chart music, and “Mr. Brightside” at 10:30 because they have no idea what they are doing, then DO NOT BOOK MARK!

    If you want someone who has a passion for his job, gets to know the couple for the occasion and to do an outstanding job then book Mark.

    We had Mark for our wedding. The job he did for us was perfect! Mark had jokes lined up about us, our family and friends ready for our wedding.

    On the day he went around the room, got to know the croud and played the perfect songs reading the room and he created a perfect environment.

    He was that good it feels as though he is now part of the family and I am certain I will see him again.

    Great job Mark, we love you!

    Callum & Elle ❤️

  12. How many stars are we allowed to give Mark? There will never be enough.

    Mark was the entertainer at our wedding reception and really made the evening very special. From the first contact, he was interested in us, our guests, our histories and obviously our choice of music. He wanted full details of everyone who was there and on the evening was able to chat and present as though we were old friends of his. All our guests were incredibly impressed and asked us how long we had known him! He has a rare gift.

    He did not come with a pre-set formula of what he was going to play apart from wanting to get through as many of our favourites as he could. He even mentioned for whom each song was played. His handling of the first dance was a masterpiece in getting the party started in the best possible way.

    If you are looking for a DJ with so much more, Mark is the person to contact. He is a star!

  13. Aura and I wanted an intimate, low-key wedding followed by a fun, relaxed party for around 65 of friends and family. We asked Mark to provide the entertainment and provide it he absolutely did! From the moment the reception started, Mark went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome. He took the time to sit down at every table, joking and generally putting people at ease. He somehow managed to remember everyone’s name, which surprised quite a few of our guests. It genuinely felt like we’d invited a close friend to DJ the night.

    We do have quite eclectic music tastes, not many people would request Eurovision songs along with rock and metal covers, but he understood the assignment perfectly. We hardly had any time to sit down we were dancing to so many bangers.

    One of the most touching parts of the evening was when he played songs early on for Aura’s nan, who has dementia. Seeing her light up and sing along to her favourites was one of those moments we’ll never forget. We didn’t even hire a photographer for the party, but Mark took nearly 100 brilliant photos of the venue, the dance floor, and our guests having the best time.

    Everyone had something lovely to say about him. He brought such warmth, humour and care to the whole evening, it really wouldn’t have been the same without him. Worth every penny, and then some. I don’t even like birthday parties, but we might need to find an excuse to book him again soon!

  14. My new wife and I hired Mark after being highly recommended, and we were not disappointed. Mark’s enthusiasm and infectious personality was evident from our first meeting, he really took the time to get to know us and our likes and dislikes. Mark really put us at ease and his love for what he does shone through.

    On the day of wedding the night was brilliant, everyone had a great time and Mark was a big part of it. Adding a personal touch with his character, would recommend in a heartbeat.

    Really nice guy, professional, great at what he does and was a pleasure to have meet him.

  15. We first saw Mark at a Christmas party two years ago and loved him so much that when we got engaged we knew we wanted him to DJ at our wedding. We had a couple of video chats and communicated over text and was so easy to talk to and he understood us as a couple and what we wanted to make our wedding reception perfect.

    One thing we loved when we first saw him was how he knew everyone attending by name within the first hour and really got everyone into the party spirit. He did just that at our wedding as well and one comment we’ve received over and over again about our whole wedding was how amazing Mark was!

    He went through our colour scheme with us and picked lights that complimented it and by the end of the planning process it felt like we’d known him forever! He also took pictures during our wedding reception which he sent over afterwards, an amazing addition and we now have those pictures to treasure.

    Words really can’t do him justice, we’re so happy we picked Mark for our wedding and he really made it a day to remember!

  16. Massive Thank you to Mark for bringing our engagement party to life and making it so special for us. Mark took the time to get to know us prior to the party, making sure that it was very personal and memorable.

    The music and lights were tailored to us, lights matched our party theme. There was such a relaxed feeling and a family feel. Mark felt like part of our family by the end of the night. We have never met anyone quite like him.
    We loved having a mock first dance and cake cut and Mark took the time also to take some natural shots for us, which was so so lovely.

    We will 10000% be making sure we book Mark for our Wedding, and any future party’s.

    Every guest commented on how brilliant the night was and a massive part of that was how brilliant Mark is, pleasure to meet you, hope to see you again soon 🍾🥳💍♥️
    Love Laura & Jamie

  17. Mark was recommended to us by a friend who was guest at another wedding. Usually you get recommendations from the bride or groom, not guests, so we knew that Mark must have been amazing for a guest to remember so well and recommend him to us. Mark surpassed every expectation. He took the time to get to know us both and asked questions about our friends and family, and when he arrived at the wedding I had guests coming up to me asking if Mark was actually a family friend because he seemed to know the family so well and know so much about our friends. And by the end of the night it felt like Mark was part of the family. Nearly a week later I still have guests commenting on how great Mark was. He brought so much energy and fun to the reception, it couldn’t have been more perfect. I think it’s fair to say my Dad, Robert, had the best time of all, he left the dance floor for only 10 minutes to be included in a photo, and my parents are now thinking of what event we can celebrate to have Mark DJ again! You certainly won’t see the last of us… Having the photos Mark took are also an added bonus and wonderful memory to look back on. Thank you so much Mark for an unforgettable evening!

  18. What can I say ! Mark is simply the best.
    He was the DJ at my birthday party on Friday 11th April. He made the night about me. He collaborated well with my Saxophonist and key board player.
    Mark isn’t just a DJ, he is personable and really gets to know the audience. He is a great Compere and has a great singing voice too
    I have seen Mark at many events and he has never disappointed. He did my 50th Birthday, now my 60th and will be my first call for my 70th xx

  19. I’ve worked alongside 100s if not 1000s of DJs over the past 25+ years and have never met one like Mark before. He’s a true professional on all levels AND has such an amazing singing voice! 🎤🎶💥 Mark is such a personable character and organises everything to a tee, all the finer details are taken care of and this guy sings better than most premium wedding singers! I’m looking forward to working with you again soon! 💯👌🏻

  20. Mark Tolliss was absolutely fantastic!!
    His attention to detail when called in to Host an event at last minute was very impressive. His personalising of the event worked so well and added to the guests enjoyment. His flexibility to play the proposed playlist making it even more special. His attention to detail in his set was so professional. Nothing was too much trouble and we will definitely be booking him again … he is excellent!!!

  21. We chose Mark for our ‘non-wedding wedding’ after meeting him at a friend’s event the year before and being blown away by the incredible atmosphere he created. So, what exactly is a non-wedding wedding? It was a celebration of our friends, our love, and the happiness ahead. Who says you need a formal reason to throw a party and bring all your special people together under one roof?

    Mark totally embraced our theme and was amazing. He captured the vibe we envisioned and made sure everyone felt included in the special evening. His memory is incredible—he remembered names, where guests had travelled from, and the stories we’d shared with him during our pre-event meeting.

    I can’t recommend Mark enough to help make your day as unforgettable as ours was!

  22. We can’t thank Mark enough for the amazing entertainment he provided for us at our wedding on New Years Day. Mark took the time to get to know us and our guests really making the evening with added personal touch making everyone feel special. Nothing was too much trouble we never had to worry about a thing in Marks capable hands. We’ve had so many wonderful comments from family and friends at the wedding about Mark and not only the music but energy he brought to the evening. It would not have been the same without him. Thank you Mark, we wish we could do it all again. In the words of our children & their friends “he was epic”
