Steve DJ’d our wedding in October 2023 - He did not disappoint - I don’t think at any moment the dance floor was empty - he played a range of songs from all genres and Era’s! He even managed to find a shortened version of our First Dance Song after I was panicking the Full version was too long and we would have to rethink our song! We have a few big birthdays coming up over the next few years and Steve will be our first (and hopefully!) only choice of DJ! ☺️ More...

We used Ace Beats Sound & Lighting for our wedding evening with the Photo Booth.
Steve gave us the best night lots of guests was up dancing and he read the room really well.
We also used the Photo Booth as well and make lots of great memories.
Highly recommend :)

Steve was excellent right from the start of the process when I was getting quotes in for our wedding disco. The service he offers is excellent value for money and he is friendly and personable.
We had two zoom meetings to firm up details which was helpful and reassuring, and we used the vibo app, to which he gave us access, to indicate the type of music we wanted.
On the night Steve was punctual, personable and smartly dressed. He had clearly noted our song preferences and played exactly what we wanted, mixing it up a bit to keep us dancing all evening.
Whilst I am not planning another wedding party, I will definitely be recommending him and using him for any future family events.

Fantastic price and service.
Arrived on time and ready to set up, was helpful and explained how the photobooth worked so we could help the kids.
Playlist app was such a great idea and the extra songs Steve added were spot on, as well as taking the kids requests and making announcements when needed.
Very happy with the service, will 100% book for future events.

Steve done our wedding party at Jardins Braintree and he was amazing. Easy to book and pay, gives you a handy app to make your requests and also calls you to go through everything to make sure it is perfect (wich it was!
). Going forward I will always recommend Steve to anybody that needs a dj.
Once again we can not thank you enough for making our night amazing.

Ace Beats enabled us to treat our guests at my daughter's wedding. Everyone loved the Selfie Pod which was evident in the constant stream of excited and laughing guests. Steve was the utmost professional and provided a good variety of props to enhance the experience. Thank you for adding a touch of fun and laughter to an already perfect wedding day :) More...

Hannah Hardy
Photo Booth Hire
Myself and my husband contacted Ace Beats in the lead up to our wedding, to enquire about Photo booth hire options.
From the initial contact with Ace Beats it quickly become apparent that Steve genuinely cared about his customers.
His responses to our questions were always executed quickly, throughly and helpfully. His advice and willingness to help was greatly appreciated in the middle of planning our wedding! We was looking for a Photo booth that would provide fun, interactive and memorable entertainment for our guests - Steve was able to advise us on the most suitable packages available within our budget.
We hired the Photobooth Expo Air 2, which included 100 Prints, which we were able to select our chosen photo template with personalisation and our guests were so happy to be able to keep! A varied selection of props - which were plentiful and displayed perfectly at the event, digital upload of the all the photos taken a few days after the event and also included animated GIFs. These were a brilliant way to capture guests having fun and making memories at our wedding, that we will treasure!
Steve is incredibly professional yet so approachable, as the one manning the photo booth during our event, he felt like a friend rather than a supplier. His time management and professionalism was something we never had to worry about. From start to finish, Steve was superb at creating exactly what we had asked for and was the best addition to our evening entertainment.
We honestly could not recommend Ace Beats enough and will definitely be using Ace Beats in the future for other group events!
Thank you Ace Beats for helping to make our wedding so memorable!

Hi there Hannah and thanks for much for this review. To me, getting to know the client even a little bit is paramount to the customer service provided. It's not just about turning up with the equipment and getting it done. I like to have fun with the guests whether I'm DJing or running the Photo Booth. Such a shame I was booked out for the Birthday Party!

Rob & Sharon
From our initial phone call to Steve at Ace Beats, he was very Professional, offering teams calls to discuss our requirements, and being available for our questions (many) At our Wedding reception, Steve arrived early and was ready to go.
We asked many things of Steve, requested many songs in various genres and asked him to dedicate some songs to specific people, all this he did with a minimum of fuss and with feeling for the occasion. We have much feedback from our guests about the quality of the music, which made our day run smoothly. I would definitely use Steve again as I feel he can be trusted to offer a great service.
Thanks Steve, Best wishes.

Steve was a Godsend! He did an amazing job with the photobooth at our wedding last week. He moved from one hall to another in the venue and was definately one of our most reliable vendors. He responded to our queries promptly and we could not be happier. Thanks so much Steve and I hope you had as good a day as we did. More...

We got married on the thursday and then needed a DJ for a big party 2 days later.
We knew what we wanted and what we didn't and Steve got this from the start.
We had a meeting set up by Steve to cover guests we had, genres we would like and anything we wanted to avoid. The party went smoothly and everyone danced the night away, we got to watch a video after that is taken from the DJ booth and I actually didn't know everyone had been on the dance floor at some point, it was alway packed.
Lastly my daughter (6) and her wee crew hung out at the DJ stand and he took that all in his stride. He even let them take silly pics while he worked.
Thanks for making our special party extra special.

We booked Ace Beats for my daughters wedding on 27th July 2021.
Steve was extremely professional.
Great communication with my daughter and son in law ensuring that all their music requests were met.
He could not have been more helpful.
He certainly made sure that everything went smoothly even down to making sure that the Bolleywood Dancer was introduced when she was ready to dance.
I would not hesitate in recommending Ace Beats for any event and will be booking him again later in the year for another event that is planned.
Thank you for making Mel and Rits Wedding So Special. X

What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
You need to keep the energy of a party fluctuating. If a DJ plays very energetic music from the outset right through to the end, the crowd will get tired very quickly. It needs to ebb and flow throughout the event.
How would you describe your ‘style’?
Engaging and versatile. Musical knowledge breeds love of music in all forms. Good DJs are students of music. Ace Beats are generally high energy.
What do you love most about your job?
When you've spent what is usually hours coming up with a bespoke playlist for each event, it's great when the music hits home and you can see everyone enjoying themselves. Interacting with a crowd is important as well...you're not there just to stare at a screen and press play!
What inspired you to start your own business?
My love of music and my passion for DJing and entertaining are inspiration enough. Having DJ'd for family and friends for quite some time, the pandemic gave me an opportunity to look to the farther future and push DJing as a business. Confidence and bookings are starting to come in thick and fast and I'm glad I took the plunge to get this started!
Why should our clients choose you?
Any DJ will say they have their unique selling point. The fact is, many are very similar to each other. Great DJ's, with great lighting, great knowledge and great sounding equipment. Ace Beats is one of those, and it's important that you speak to each of your potential DJs to see which one is right for you. We tend to concentrate on the technology side more than the decor side.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
To some degree yes. It's something we can talk about. We have done some live streaming during the lockdown period, and these streams have been quite popular. So we could do private events over Zoom, Twitch and various other platforms. This is something we'd want to talk to each client about individually (as we do with all our events).
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
During COVID, we always abided by the customers rules as long as they are equal to or exceed our own. Our DJ would always come equipped with a mask with all equipment sanitised.
