Personally I grew up in the eighties and love music from that era, including some of the funky tunes from the seventies. I like to mix it up quite considerably in the earlier parts of the evening, trying to include all tastes and ages, until later when the atmosphere changes and the REAL party begins – then crowd response determines which direction I follow. Unlike club DJ’s, I play music to cater to the taste of the crowd in my own style, and NOT entirely my personal taste.
Every attempt is made to cater for all and all types of music tastes (however bizarre) and I welcome requests as this is an indication that the crowd are willing to interact with you in addition to providing more insight into the tastes of the crowd.
Every wedding/function is different and needs to be approached in that way. No function can be stereotyped, and no function can be play-listed. It is the responsibility of a professional DJ to interact with your crowd and play music accordingly..
Sound and lighting are critical elements in the success of an evening and an area in which I do not compromise, using complete JBL rig (18” subs and 15” eons), which in delivering absolute power, does so in a manner that does not sound loud. Two cordless microphones are available for use for any speeches.
Totally independent PA systems may be provided for the church/service and drinks area (additional costs may charged depending on venues)
The final key element is lighting – Firstly to provide ambience, as well as atmosphere. Again this is an area in which I have not compromised, using an “intelligent” lighting rig which allows me to program all aspects of the lighting including colours and flashing. This is essential to vary ambience at different moments in the evening. I currently am and have been a FULL time DJ for at least eight years, having Deejayed part time before that, and have worked at just about every function venue around Durban and the Midlands, and have also travelled extensively throughout South Africa .I am currently the main DJ/service provider recommended by the Oyster Box Hotel Below are just a few of the client feedback comments that are posted online

I would like to just comment that Vivian was worth every cent, he really made our wedding the huge party and success it was. He was absolutely awesome from setting up on the beach for the service to setting up on the boma for cutting the cake.

The music was fantastic and he catered for a wide variety of people. Awesome awesome awesome Comments:
Vivian is so professional and it was great to meet with him before the wedding to discuss our requirements. He is organised and approachable and our guests were on the dancefloor until the possible last minute, we had a great time. Thanks Vivian Comments:
Vivian was brilliant and as my husband says cool as a cucumber. There was not a moment that the dance floor at my wedding was empty as his choice of music kept the party going. We only stopped dancing when it was time to pack up and leave the venue. Vivian really helped to make our wedding the special day it is meant to be

Vivien was absolutely fantastic! I have recommended him to my girls that are getting married. I felt that he became more part of our family that evening than just being "our DJ".. which is what we wanted. I will definitely use Top Jocks again and I will keep recommending you to my friends and family.

| Vivian was really professional and went out of his way to assist on the evening of our wedding reception. When things ran ahead of schedule, Vivian took the initiative to liase directly with the caterers and arrange for dessert to be served early, so that the rest of the evening would proceed as planned. The music selection was perfect and I received a lot of feedback after the wedding, from our guests saying what a brilliant DJ we had and that they'd all had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for making our wedding day even more memorable. We would definitely recommend Vivian and will use him again, should we require the services of a DJ. |
