I have never seen the kids dancing and enjoying themselves sooooo much at our disco’s! You had them all dancing out of the palm of your hand. Just giving you the heads up we are looking at the 9th February potentially for our next Valentine Disco, and can I just add that on our Hockey Primary School FB page the positive comments on tonight’s disco and new DJ are going crazy!
The kids all want you back next time! Thanks so much and enjoy the rest of your night xx

Geoff was professional, friendly, helpful and nothing was too much problem from start to finish. We gave him a massive list of songs and he managed to play most of them. The dance floor was full from 8-midnight. He done all the music for my wedding ceremony from start to finish. His photos were great and we received them very quickly. There were loads of them, over 1,000 I think but that didn't hinder the DJ skills. He got everyone in an arch at the end of the night for us to go through and a circle for us to go and say goodbye to everyone.
Two ex dj's were in my wedding party and they also agreed Geoff was brilliant. A lovely man, a fantastic Dj, a great photographer and very professional. I would definitely recommend Geoff Grove. Thank you so much for making our day.

Wow thank you so much for our amazing photos!!! We have received the USB too, thank you millions! Thanks again for being such a great DJ and a great part of our wedding. Whenever you need any "reviews" just ask! Can't thank you enough. Love, Charlotte & Dan

As with the Hen Night photos, you did an amazing job at the wedding and we're really pleased with the pictures. You always manage to capture the fun and natural side of the occasion which to us are far more precious than just posed pictures. Thank you again and I will do a Facebook friend request if that's ok and then we can come to some of your Soul events.

He kept us dancing on the dance floor and even let us have a couple of tries at singing along on the microphone (possibly not so great for all the guests!) He also took photos throughout the evening and when we received the memory stick we could not stop smiling at the shots he had captured! Thanks Geoff!


It’s been a couple of weeks, but just wanted to write and say thank you for being part of our wedding, it was perfect. Everyone really enjoyed the music, it was exactly what we wanted- a lot of the guests have told me it is the best wedding they have been to and I am sure you played a big part in that.
Finally, congratulations on becoming what I imagine is the first DJ in history to play our obscure playlist at a wedding! All the best, Will and Lisa

Thank you again for being an amazing DJ at our party, everyone had a fab time, you filled the dance floor and we want to do it all over again! If it wasn't for the venues 1pm finish we would have gone on all night I recon!! Also the photos you did for us are fabulous! We will always recommend you!
Thank you once again, Best wishes Jo & Adam Twyman xxx

A huge thank you Geoff for being my DJ and personal photographer at my 50th birthday party, held at Sands Bistro Restaurant, 21st February 2015. You were amazing.
I had such a brilliant night and all my friends and family agreed you were amazing. You kept everyone entertained playing music from my extensive playlist, especially the hits from the 80's. I was so thankful that you also took a great selection of photos and was amazed that you immediately saved them to a memory stick and delivered it to me the following day. The photos are fantastic!!! You captured everything!!!
Not only did you take care of the music and photographs you also very kindly helped us take the balloons, cakes and presents home.
I was so pleased I chose you. I will definitely hire you again and will happily recommend you to family and friends. I have so many wonderful memories of my party. Thank you so much Geoff for making my 50th birthday extra special.
Kind regards, Tracey Cooper

Nothing was too much trouble and I had a packed dance floor right til the end and no one wanted it to stop. Hire Geoff! You will not be disappointed!!

Then, after they received the photos I took 🙂



Geoff also offered to take photos for the evening as well and this was another excellent element of the service on offer ensuring we captured all the fun and laughter right up until the end of the night.
Thanks Geoff for making our wedding even more memorable.

You were fantastic, we had so many requests for your details it was untrue. You kept everyone up and dancing and organised all the main bits like the first dance and cutting of the cake seamlessly.
You really made it something special.

All the guests had a wonderful time and the music was great. We have some fantastic pictures and you certainly helped make our evening special.
Thank you also for re doing the pictures for us on a memory stick.
I will certainly recommend you whenever I can.
Once again.....thank you

The music was great and flowed perfectly. Non stop dancing.
The pictures are amazing.
To everyone out there looking for a Wedding DJ, book Geoff ASAP. Thanks again, Peter & Lyndsey Kemp

Her friends all said 'Best party ever" which is high praise from hard to please 11 year olds !!
Thanks so much for the photos too ... they are brilliant and I now have a lovely reminder of the day Would highly recommend you to anyone as you go above and beyond 🙂

We were sure we would have time to write a playlist, dictate exactly what we wanted...wow were we wrong, the night before the wedding we emailed Geoff a 4 line guide to what we wanted, and it was probably the best thing we could have done.
Geoff was amazing, we had background music for the wedding breakfast and then the full works in the evening. Geoff moved his set up from one room to another as the breakfast was in the restaurant separate to where the dancing was to take place.
We really couldn't have asked for more from the music, even replaying the brides favourite track on demand as she had missed it the first time round! Geoff also took some photos for us and one of them just so happens to be our favourite one so far. If we need a DJ we wouldn't go anywhere else.
It was absolutely perfect!

We had such a brilliant night at my mum and dads 50th wedding anniversary, I think picking the DJ was the thing I was worried about doing the most, my family love to dance and so do my parents friends so it was crucial to get it right.
I think you were brilliant – thank you for playing all 40 songs on our playlist and adding in ones that were absolutely perfect too! I have not yet had a chance to see the pictures you took, but my parents and sis said they were great, I’m looking forward to seeing them.
Thanks again we would definitely hire you again and I will happily recommend you to anyone.
Kind regards, Sara

Like most people I didn't know where to start when organising my wedding when it came to booking a DJ. I trawled through the Internet and found Geoff Grove.
He was very accommodating when it came to play lists and had planned it prior to the day. The day of the wedding at the Cliffs Pavilion Southend was amazing and Geoff made it a night to remember, he had everyone dancing right up to being kicked out.
No one wanted to stop, for the following days after catching up with people everyone mentioned how good Geoff was.
I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a DJ for their special event, thanks again Geoff and yes we will contact you for our anniversary party!

Yet another fantastic night of dancing! I've not been to Marcos Bar in Rayleigh Essex before but seeing as u were playing I invited a few friends to come with me and give it a go.
We were not disappointed , u played "Tune" after "Tune" up to date, soul, house. We all had a great time and will be going back when your next there. You always give 100% play our requests and get right into the party atmosphere.
You truly are the very best Dj in Essex. I will always recommend you with confidence.
Thank you for a fab night.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for last night, you was absolutely brilliant, everyone was saying how good you was and you really helped make the night go with a bang. I certainly enjoyed it and from what I can tell so did my guests.
Rest assured, I will definitely be recommending you to anyone looking for a DJ in the future, without a doubt.
Kind regards Carol Wray

Thank you for being our DJ at Sands in Southend on Saturday night. It's always a worry when booking a Dj for the first time but true to your word and reviews you were outstanding your photos are fantastic and some I'm sure no one else has Paula and I are very grateful and if it's ok with you we will put together something for your website and other reviews sites 🙂
Paula and Alex Wedding at Sands Bistro Southend

We had the perfect venue, perfect flowers and importantly a perfect dj! I cant say how much i worried about getting the perfect DJ for us, especially after a bad experience at my 18th birthday with another DJ.
We came across Geoff online and what first interested us was how friendly and relaxed he looked when working in his pictures. Then after reading his profile his character definitely fitted his image.
On the run up to the big day Geoff asked us on any specific music we would like played and discussed with us when he will arrive and what will happen. We felt very relaxed and trusted Geoff.
When the big day arrived the day went beautifully and soon the evening guests were arriving. The DJ equipment was all set up in the morning so Geoff was ready right on time to party!
The music choice was perfect for what we wanted. Guests were on the dance floor from start to finish, even pass when we left for our hotel! Geoff wasn't just a DJ for us though, he was also taking pictures after our photographer had left. Its so great to have some party pictures of my guests and ourselves too! We had never come across a DJ who actually gets out onto the dance floor and dance with you too!
All in all, Geoff really did go above and beyond our expectations and we are so glad we chose him. Thank you so much for ending our special day with a good party!
Mr & Mrs Shephard Wedding at The Lawn, Rochford

Nothing was too much trouble and we even got some great shots of our guests partying from him once our photographer had left.
I hope this helps anyone searching for their wedding DJ !
Martin & Claire, Battlesbridge

Our guest commented on how good he was and not only for his music but as a person as well!
So well done Geoff. We would both highly recommend you and thanks again for playing at our wedding.
Lorraine and Dean, Rayleigh

Just to say thank you for making Lily's 10th birthday party feel like a proper disco. The children all had a ball and Lily can't wait to check out all the photos of the evening. My favourite moment was watching 45 children dance the Macarena.
I will definitely be recommending you to my friends and as Johnny said it is his 50th next year so we may be calling upon your services again.
Many thanks Trudy Maldon

Just want to say a huge thank you for being our Wedding DJ last night at Orsett Hall. Lee and I thought you were great and so did our guests.
You made the evening!
And an extra thank you for taking those extra photo shots all evening.... you are certainly good at multi-tasking 🙂 We will be recommending you to our friends.
Thanks again Lee and Claire Jackson. Leigh-on-Sea

All the kids had a great time and so did us parents. A few of his friends stayed over so I have cooked about 4 pounds of bacon and done twenty loaves of bread. A party is only as good as the DJ and last night was a cracker.
The party was a great success and a lot of that was down to you. All the kids thought you were great which is saying something to get approval from teenagers !!!! You made the evening flow and created a great atmosphere . I knew you would be the right DJ.
Thanks again Jo & Simon Clark Hockley

We love the soul of the 80's but remember visiting various clubs throughout the 90's so we asked Geoff for a solid 90's set with 80's and current sounds dotted either side and have to say he didn't let us down!
The floor was filled and was great to hear so many friends say "wow, I haven't heard that for years, what a tune"!!

Just wanted to reiterate my thanks again for your excellent DJ'ing skills Saturday night at Clarice House!
My feet yesterday bore witness to the fact I was on the dance floor for about 3 hours non-stop; they were v sore! I really enjoyed myself & had loads of texts from friends yesterday saying what a great night; vast quantities of fizz & beer helps but it's the music that gets toes tapping & flab moving!
Thanks again Geoff and I hope you got some good photos!
Hopefully will see you again sometime, but I'll be wearing trainers to dance in!
Danielle Paddon Colchester

Could not fit another person on the dance floor! We would definately recommend Geoff Grove if you want a great bash the best Essex has to offer.
Natalie Carty Rayleigh

I'm so pleased that Vaulty Manor want to now use you for some of their parties and events !! The photos you took on the night turned out great - you are a brilliant photographer - and at the same time as being our DJ !!
Thanks again you are the best DJ" !!
Sam Phelps

Clare has just shown us the CD and the quality and variety of photos is very good and will give us a lasting memory of a very enjoyable milestone in our lives.
We will share your link with our friends and relations so they can enjoy the pictures you took.
Once again thank you very much for all you did and have done, we will certainly recommend you as an excellent DJ.
Kind regards Rob and Sandy Stanesby.

We both thought you done a brilliant job, especially considering our recent circumstances.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you, Take care, Sherry
