Garvan Rigby - Wedding DJ

Star Dj was recommended to us by our venue for our wedding and I can say we had no regrets useing them easy to deal with and always responded to our emails and the DJ we had rang us to go over what music we liked and didn't like the dance floor was hoping all night DJ was very obliging and polite to everyone even all the kids would highly recommend them

We hired Garvan as our wedding DJ and we were absolutely delighted that we did.

From the first time we contacted him to the wedding day he was completely professional and approachable and knew exactly what to do on the night.

There were no moments where the dance floor was empty and Garvan knew all the right songs to play that suited the guests and the atmosphere.

We would highly recommend Garvan for any couples looking for a wedding DJ.

Garvan was a complete class act. From the moment we began our interactions he allowed us to communicate exactly what we wanted, while also inserting his knowledge and experience.

We consistently heard from our guests, “The DJ was fantastic, he kept everyone on the dance floor.” It was an incredibly memorable night and Garvan contributed greatly to that. Top Class.

Dear Garvan,

On behalf of my husband and myself, we want to thank you for making our special day even more special with you there.

You went above and beyond for us and we are so grateful.

Thank you for your professionalism and making us feel incredible on our wedding day.

We cannot stop talking about the little details of each part of the day that you created for us and we will cherish these memories forever.

We are so excited to seeing the final photos and videos that have been captured for us with you.

Thank you once again.
Many Kind Regards,
Rebecca & Glen Pérez-Francis

Garvan was absolutely incredible to work with from the very beginning. We found him when we went to our friends wedding and knew straight away we wanted him to DJ for ours.

He really listened to everything we asked for and kept the party going the whole night. Everyone was raving about how great he was and everyone was dancing non stop.

Really ended the whole day with a bang!

Garvan was a true professional from start to finish. He tailored the music to our tastes and had the crowd jumping and dancing all night. I couldn’t recommend him enough.

We booked Garvan for our wedding. We went with the Platinum Package. Garvan was great. We had two meetings before the wedding and he gave loads of advice. On the day he arrived before the meal and played music during the meal, he also introduced us and called the speeches. The DJ set was super and he read the room playing music that suited the guests. Both us and the guests loved the set. I would highly recommend Garvan. Very professional.

Had an amazing experience with Star DJs for our wedding. Jack was incredibly responsive and helpful in the lead up to the wedding. On the night he had the Dancefloor full and was engaging with the crowd. He was great to work with. Highly recommend Star DJs for your wedding. You will be in good hands!

We would highly recommend Star DJs! Mark from Star DJ’s played at our wedding in Dublin in November and it was beyond our expectations. The dance floor was full all night and everyone loved it. Mark created the perfect party atmosphere and was very professional. We would book again!!

From the outset of dealing with Garvan and Star DJs, Garvan was so pleasant and helpful. His friendliness put us at ease straight away unlike other DJs or entertainment providers we had dealt with who tried to upsell with gimmicks and extras instead of listening to what we wanted for our wedding celebrations. He took notes at all stages to be sure that he didn't miss out on any of our requests (even my do not playlist!) and made suggestions on how we could ensure that we got our dream wedding dance party and that all of our guests stayed dancing all night. He also compiled a gorgeous playlist of music to accompany dinner and all of our guests commented how much they enjoyed the music throughout the reception. When Garvan announced us in for the first time as husband and wife we could feel the energy he had created in the room and knew that we had made the right choice in choosing him. Huge thank you to Garvan and all at Star DJs for helping to make our wedding day so special, we wish we could do it all again!

We had Mark travel to Sligo for our wedding on the 21st of September. I can honestly say the entertainment and choice of music was fantastic! The dance floor was packed all evening and music to suit all ages. Our guests all commented on how much they enjoyed the dancing. Thank you Mark for such a memorable night!

From the first meeting with Garvan we were so confident that he was the perfect DJ for our wedding; really nice guy and clearly knew his stuff. And we were so right- he had the dance floor packed all night long with a great mix of music to suit the different generations. We couldn't have been happier. Wholeheartedly recommend.

We had the pleasure of working with Garvan from Star DJs. He was extremely professional, took care of all our music from start to finish on the wedding day. Garvan linked in with us well beforehand so we were confident with him even before the day. Garvan was excellent at reading the vibes of our guests. The dance floor was full all night and all of our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the DJ was. I would highly recommend Garvan, he honestly made our day!

Garvan was absolutely amazing. From start to finish he has been so easy to deal with. We had a multinational wedding and he made sure to have plenty of songs from different countries so everyone felt at home and it worked beautifully. We got nothing but compliments on his work but best of all there was always someone on the dancefloor and we all had a great time. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ. Thank you Garvan, you're a star!

Would not hesitate to recommend Star DJs. So lovely to deal with and everyone raved about how great the music was on the day. The dance floor was never empty!

After covid all the great bands were taken so I said I'd try something different for our wedding. We hired Garvan from Star Djs to do music bingo and DJ afterwards. It was amazing! The set up was like an actual game show. All our guests loved it and Garvan is a great showman , he got all the crowd buzzing. Can't recommend enough.

Highly recommend Garvan to anyone considering him for their wedding. We had a zoom call with Garvan and discussed everything that we liked and did not like. He listened to everything we said and really made the night so great. He was really great and talking to us and letting us know what was happening (such as first dance, last dances etc). We've no hesitations in recommending Garvan for your wedding. We just went with a DJ and you wouldn't have missed the band at all. I'm fact, we never would have fit one in as our dinner ran slightly over. Thanks again Garvan

Garvan at star DJs was incredible not only at the wedding but also throughout the entire process. He thought about things that we never would have which really helped with the flow of events. We were uncertain on a few different logistical things and he was more than accommodating in helping us through them. We have received countless praise from our guests on the music during the day. The dance floor was packed from start to finish! Garvan thanks again!

Star DJs were exceptional from start to finish! We worked with Garvin and he really made our wedding night special. He thinks about every detail in terms of music and vibe. He could describe the track progression, tempo changes, and mood for each step of the wedding from dinner to the last song. He was flexible on our song requests and the many changes we made. Importantly, Star DJs had a straightforward payment and scheduling method. Top quality organization and incredible people. They have our highest recommendation!

We had a great experience from start to finish with Garvan from Star DJs. He was so easy to deal with leading up to the big day. We had a phone and he also met us over zoom to discuss music taste and what kind of songs we wanted played. And most importantly he was absolutely brilliant on the night and the dance floor was packed all night long! We had great feedback from our guests who said they loved the music! He took requests and accommodated everyone on the night. Thanks so much Garvan, you made the night so much fun!

We were very lucky to find Garvan and Star DJs for our wedding. From our first contact with him he was professional and easy to deal with. We didn't have a band so it was important that the DJ be able to keep the dance floor full for the night. Garvan delivered this and more. The atmosphere was amazing because of his great playlist. He was able to read the room and play music that kept people dancing. Our guests all commented on how fab the music was. I highly recommend Garvan and Star DJs for any wedding or event.

Star DJs were recommended to us by a friend for our wedding. We didn't have a band so the DJ was very important for us. We couldn't have been happier with the service provided, we danced all night! We met with Garvan in advance to discuss our musical tastes and he totally got it right on the night. We would definitely recommend Star DJs.

Couldn't recommend Mark more - he totally understood the vibe of people on the day and as a result the dance floor was full for the entire night! Everyone commented on how good the music was and my engaged friends have asked for Mark's name!

Garvan at Star DJs was absolutely amazing from first contact right up to the day of the wedding. He absolutely nailed it and and all our guests are still raving about it. Definitely hit the brief- thanks so much again for everything!

With COVID we were not allowed a band, only a DJ and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
From the second we spoke to Garvan we knew we had made the right choice and were in the right hands. He was extremely professional and helpful.
It was the right blend of our input and his knowledge. The music from the reception to the dinner to evening was absolutely perfect. We only had 22 people at our wedding and it felt like 100. Everyone was on the floor all night and are still remarking about how great the music was.
We could not recommend Garvan enough. It's the best money you will spend.

We had mark as our DJ and he was amazing!! We thought it would be really difficult to find a DJ that could get everyone up with a mix of music (myself and my husband are big metal music fans!) but he was amazing and really made our night! I would highly recommend ????

Really delighted we chose Garvan (Star DJs) as our DJ. He was so professional, really understood our requirements and arrived on time. The music was great all night and the dance floor was full the entire evening! 70s n 80s rule!

Happy to highly recommend Garvan and Star DJs. From the moment we met Garvan we knew we had made the right choice. We could tell that he is not only extremely knowledgable in the area of wedding DJing but has the experience and personality to back it up. We discussed what we would like and Garvan was able to make some great suggestions to ensure that we, and our guests, got the most out of his service.

A huge thank you to Garvan for not only supplying the soundtrack to our Wedding Day but ensuring everything ran smoothly also.

Mark was great! Highly recommend. He was an amazing DJ and MC during the whole event. Very funny and everyone laugh!

Used Star djs for a surprise party after my sons wedding in clontarf castle. Garvan was very prompt and helpful with my queries and found me a dj called Darragh. Darragh was very good on the night and read the crowd really well. Would highly reccomend both Darragh and Star DJs.

Star Djs were fantastic and John was very responsive to our playlist that combined our wedding and a New Year's Eve countdown! Great Night!! Thanks again

Very good

We knew a band would not play or sound the way we would have wanted on the night , so we chose Star Djs, and we are so pleased that we did,5 star DJS, Garvin was absolutely amazing, our guests are still talking about his performance, would 100% recommend for any event
Clive and Michael

Garvan did our music. We met him a few times before the hug day and discussed our music choices. He has such an amazing knowledge and really knows what works. We had the most amazing time! I don't think ourselves or our guests danced as much as they did at our wedding and that is solely down to the music. We can't thank him enough for really meking the night for us.

I was recommended by a friend to check the Star DJs website. But before I even contacted them, I posted on Facebook group (HIGM - Help I'm getting married) to ask reviews about them. Not only people recommended Star DJs, Garvan from Star DJs responded so quickly and everything he was talking about (weddings, music, styles, etc) made me feel he cares about his job and clients. Then we reached out to Star DJs to formally book Garvan. He was so responsive anytime we contacted him and even he called me to check in a few times.
Our face-to-face meeting was also great. He asked the right questions to understand our style and our guests as well. He made great points and gave great recommendations. On the night, everyone (literally everyone) was on the dance floor. Even today (wedding was 3 weeks ago) when we ask people to send videos/pics, they say they were having so much fun on the dance floor that they didn't even use their phones (how unusually great is that).
I totally recommend Garvan from Star DJs!! Don't waste thousands of euros on 2hr live music. Seriously! What a fun, valuable entetainment! Garvan earned every penny that night! Thanks Garvan!

We chose Star DJ's (after a google search for DJ's) for our wedding in August 2018. They were a delight to deal with and we requested DJ Garvan based on his profile. I can sincerely say he was fantastic. He was absolutely excellent, experienced, professional and genuinely very nice. We had a small wedding (approx. 50). He said he would generally read the crowd on the night , which he did to perfection,
and had most people on their feet for the evening.
All of my guests raved about his brilliant choice of music, and how much fun they had. I would highly recommend the Company and in particular DJ Garvan. Thanks Garvan

Our DJ was Mark and he was phenomenal! His patience and ability to make the wedding flow after us running a bit behind was amazing. He never got upset because we didn't arrive to the dance reception on time but instead just began with introductions and introduced our speech givers and brought us right into getting the party started. His follow up with emails being that we are from the United States were very quick and straight to the point. We had an amazing time with a great songs!

We had Garvan Rigby as DJ at our wedding. We did not feel the need for a band and having met a Star DJ representative, we knew we had the right choice. We met with Garvan before the wedding, he discussed with us various options, and also asked about what kind of wedding it was and the age group. He 100% rocked. We had asked for 80's and 90's music and that's what we got. The dance floor was hopping all night, and we had nothing but compliments about the music. I would recommend Star DJ's for any wedding or party.

We would recommend Star DJs highly.We had a dj the whole time instead of a band & dj. They are extremely professional, listened to all of our requests and gave us great advice as to what works. Mark our dj played everything that we wanted and mixed it well to what works, he also sent us a really nice message the next day. Our guests danced from beginning to end of the event.

Garvan was so professional, everything went perfect. Everyone at our wedding was on the dance floor and having a great time. He did an amazing job start to finish.

A great service from start to finish, which included a lengthy consultation to make sure we were getting everything we wanted. Garvan played an 8 hour set including through the wedding meal - which was a talking point amongst guests. Read the crowd well and if a song wasn't working he bought it right back so everyone was on the dancefloor. Well worth every cent!

We booked our reception entertainment our DJ & up lighting with Star DJ's and we weren't disappointed with all three , I would definitely recommend them for any occasion.

Thanks so much guys

Rachel & Shane

Best experience I could have had! My sister used Star DJ's for her wedding back in 2010 and it was fantastic so there was no question that we were going to book them again. There was such an easy transition between the band kicking off the DJ. Booking was so easy and we really felt we got great value for money. The dance floor was full all night right up to the end. All of our guests commented on the music and had an amazing time. I've been to many weddings and seen the DJ crash and burn so this was such an important part for us to finish off the day on a high. I'm so delighted we booked with Star DJs they really made our night.

test review

I got in touch with Star Dj's through Weddingsonline. I would highly recommend them to any of our friends or family for events or weddings.
Mark was our DJ on the night and he was absolutely fantastic. We had guests from all over Europe - Italy, Spain, Romania etc. I asked Mark on the lead up to the wedding if it would be possible to play a mix of Latin and Romanian music and also music to keep the older members on the dance floor. He said it was no problem at all..and it wasn't! The dance floor was never empty and by the end of the night most people had their shoes off so they could keep dancing!! The feedback from the guests was amazing. They assumed we had given Mark a list of songs we wanted him to play throughout the night but we didn't. The only song we asked him to play was our first dance song. He gauged the type of music that got people out of their seats and onto the dance floor. So a MASSIVE thank you to Mark & Star DJ's for our very sore feet.. we would do it all over again :)

We found Star DJs very easy to work with from Australia - tailored to our needs and we got to chat to our specific DJ for the night who definitely listened to us and had everyone on the floor all night. People were still asking us who our DJ was a week later. Would recommend!

Lloyd from star DJ provided a great set on the night of the wedding. He kept the momentum going and I didn't experience one 'lul' in the night. The dance floor was full for the night. He played suitable and fun music guaging the mood during the afters. We were very happy.

I just wanted to leave a bit of feedback for the DJs at our wedding this Saturday just gone.

First of all, everything to do with the hiring and arranging of our booking was smooth and reassuring. When you're planning a wedding, that's a huge weight off your mind. We heard about Star DJs from a friend. It's often said that word of mouth recommendations are the best recommendations, and this is definitely the case. We'll certainly be recommending star DJs to all of our friends and family who are yet to get married.

Neither of us could have been happier with Mark, our DJ. Mark listened to all of our demands and made some excellent suggestions that really got the crowd up and dancing. This was particularly helpful with older members of the crowd. We had some issues on the day with baby sitters, which meant that the mother of the groom was not present when the first dance was supposed to happen. Mark made sure that we waited until she was present to have the first dance, he kept the crowd informed and appraised at all times.

Mark went out of his way to keep both of us happy, even coming off the dancefloor to seek out the bride for one of her favourite songs. The feedback we received from our guests was fantastic. Most people complained about having sore legs, but only because they could not stop dancing. One of our guests said that he danced more at our wedding than he did at his own!

We were there until the bitter end, we would have remained dancing even longer if not for the venue's music curfew! The music was simply fantastic.

We were delighted with the service Star DJs provided and have absolutely no qualms about recommending them to anyone.

Thanks guys, we might have been drunk, we may have missed the details, but I know you made our night!

John played at our wedding on Saturday and we found him brilliant. Knew exactly what songs would get the crows dancing and how to get people back up after evening food. Very professional also and very quick to respond to any questions.

We got the platinum package for our wedding in Tipperary, this included 8 hours of music which started at dinner right through until 2am, we also added the option of a saxophone player later in the evening. All the music was super, Mark was great, he started out with blues, jazz and soul and then uped the tempo after dinner when everyone was ready to hit the dance floor. There was a great variety from 80's to current and everyone loved the music, and also the sax! It was a nice little extra.

I'd like to thank Owen for arranging an amazing DJ, Mark did an amazing job, played great music and kept people dancing all night! I highly recommend Star DJ's!

They always tell you that the DJ you choose can either make or break your reception. I did not really believe this, but I took the advice of my friends and did my research. I hired Star DJ's because of the great reviews and the reputation. Think about it! If you hire a one man show type company, you can't control if that person will get sick and not be able to show and then you are stuck with someone playing an I-pod all night at the wedding! Lame!!!I knew Star DJs would not let us down. I still wasn't sure what I was getting until we had our first phone conversation with Garvan, our DJ that would be doing our wedding. He was very attentive when we told him we didn't want the cheesy music and line dances. He gave us such great suggestions and by the end of picking out some of our favorite songs I felt 100% confident he understood us. It was at the point where I didn't even feel I needed a do not play list because he understood what we liked! The night of the wedding was perfect. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing and even helped us out when we had a payment mixup with our LIMO driver! I can't tell you how amazing this company is! Believe me I waited a VERY long time to get married because I wanted to make sure I was marrying the love of my life, which I did. Someone who took getting married as seriously as I did, would make sure to do the research on what DJ to hire. If your research leads you somewhere other than Star DJs then you need to think twice. Make this your easiest wedding choice. Hire Star DJs! You will not regret it! Thank you Garvan and Owen!

Star DJ were amazing!
They helped us a lot to organize the evening party and set all the events during the party. They take their time to discuss with us about what kind of party we want, what kind of music, the kind of audiance they will have. With their experience they give us good advices to have the best party. Because were french-canadian- swiss they ask us to give them popular music from our countries to unify everyone and that was amazing! Thank you again for everything and my guests still talk about this great party!!!!

Top notch.

We were extremely satisfied with our experience with Star DJs. The booking process was pain free, and all our questions were answered really quickly. Being based outside Ireland, it was extremely useful to have an email based booking, and as mentioned, every email was replied to very swiftly.

Our DJ Tim rang in the run up to the wedding to confirm details including the song choices we had sent, and to get a feel for the type of music we did and didn't want. On the day itself, Tim was fantastic. He played our requested songs, listened to the guests and took requests, and even stayed on later than scheduled, when the band had overran and he couldn't start on time. He had everyone out on the dance floor the whole time, which was exactly what we wanted.

As a side note, when he initially arrived, I was on my way to complain about the heat in the venue for the 3rd time. Instead Tim went to speak to the venue team, and within minutes the air conditioning had been turned up. I can't tell you how grateful I was for that!

Great DJs, really professional

Hi,
Jackie and I would like to express our gratitude to yourself and especially Garvan for helping to make our wedding the best day of our lives. I have already recommended you and passed on Star DJs details to another couple I met who are getting married here in Belfast.
Garvan was very professional in our meeting before the wedding. Everything seemed to be arranged at the last minute with us but Garvan was very reassuring that we would have a great party.
As it turned out, we would not have had it any other way and were really impressed by the music lineup which kept everyone on the dance floor all night! The wedding was a huge success and everyone commented at how the entertainment, the venue, and every aspect of the wedding made it the best wedding ever!
I will enthusiastically recommend star DJs to anyone for their event and especially if they want the greatest wedding on earth. Although, unfortunately for them, the greatest wedding on earth already happened to us!!!

Had a great experience.

We booked Star DJs for our wedding. Colin was the DJ assigned to our reception. In advance of the wedding, he discussed what we were hoping to get from the music on the night. Colin's input was very helpful and allowed us focus on the songs which were important to us and important to some of our guests.

On the night Colin said hello and then dealt directly with the hotel's banqueting manager on setting up his equipment etc. This was great as we were busy with other aspects of the day. Colin was great and announced our entry to the reception and the speeches etc.

The background music during the meal was perfect and in line with our tastes. The after dinner music was even better and Colin catered for everyone's tastes and took requests from guests which made it much easier to get people up on the dance floor. If I had to rate the DJ experience I'd give it 10/10 and I'd like to thank Colin for helping make it a great night.

Hi Garvan,
Just a note of thanks for a superb job at our event. The music was perfect and we have had lots of comments on how good you were.
Much appreciated for helping to make it a great night.

Communication in the run up to the event was great, with fast response.

Owen on the night was fantastic. Set up seamlessly, we barely noticed him sneaking in! Music was second to none and Owen himself was extremely courteous and polite.

Will definitely use you again and recommend you to others!

Thanks again!

Hi Garvan,

Sinead and myself just wanted to say thanks for the tunes on Saturday night. Everyone said they had a great time!

We really appreciated your time and effort. Thanks a million and best wishes.

To Feargal our Wedding DJ at Carton House-
A HUGE THANK YOU for making our night entertainment dream come true! We had a fantastic time, our guests loved the music, you totally went by our play list and embellished it with a few crowd pleasers. Overall a great service and every single dancing guests loved it!! pity I as the bride had to disappear a few times to mind my lovely child (hey I'm a mamma) but despite it being so, I had a few groovy moments on the dance floor thanks to you and could not have hoped for anything better. Will happily recommend you over and over again.

Hi,

being a mature couple we had preconcieved ideas about what music we wanted to hear and we were also a bit worried about using a dj as opposed to a live band. the live being way out of our budget we had to use the dj. having heard star djs at a wedding a few year earlier we were happy enough though still nervous as to how it would be received. we need not have worried, our choice of music was played throughout the evening and to our amazement the danceflor was never unoccupied. the comments we got from family and friends about the music thrilled us. so all we can say is, we are delighted we didnt use a live band. our thanks to all at star djs.

Hi,

A big thank you to Garvan for doing an amazing job at our wedding.

The StarDJ service was first class right from my initial email contact, through to meeting with Garv to plan the playlist. The straight forward, no nonsense approach was appreciated especially as we were planning an Irish wedding based in the UK.

I'd like to think we had suggested some decent tunes but the way that Garv put them together ensured that the dance floor was rammed all night. Comments like " the music was just BRILL-I-ANT" and " I just danced the legs off me" from our guests tells us that everyone had a fantastic night.

We would not hesitate to recommend. In fact we already have!

As you say in Ireland, thanks a million!

Just to say a huge thank-you to Darragh Roberts! Darragh was a real star in helping source bits of music and integrating them into the speech I was giving at a friend's wedding in May - I literally couldn't have made the speech without his help! ... and Darragh's choices of what to play and when (within the playlist defined by the bride and groom) were perfect for the rest of the night too!

We used Star DJ's at our wedding in Kilshane House in May 2007. Darragh Roberts was our DJ. I cannot praise him enough. We were terrified of getting some of the cheesy wedding DJ's that I've seen at lots of weddings and I was dreading it. Darragh was a professional from start to finish and most of the songs were chosen by my wife and I, with his help. We had regular correspondance before the wedding and were able to ban some of the nightmare wedding songs we hate. All of my friends commented that they have never danced so much at a wedding. The dance floor was permanently full from the moment he started - that's unusual in my experience. If you care about having good music and a really professional outfit, then I strongly recommend Star DJ's.

I would sincerely like to thank ''The poor boys'' and Star DJ's for organising my wedding entertainment.The band were magnificent and i'm exteremly happy with there professionalism.The DJ, Al, was also amazing.The night went off without a problem and they made the evening a fantastic success.Thank you so much Tom and Gemma Kelly.
