A Few Kind Words From Our Clients

"On behalf of 250 people at the Premier Modular Christmas Party I would like to say a huge thank you to Richard for helping us have a fabulous and fun night.  He made sure to be set up in good time, had some great props and made sure everyone got to have the pictures they wanted.

Highly recommended. Thanks Rich."

Karen.

"I would highly recommend Russel Pro DJ, and the photo booth for any wedding. The communication was great from start to finish and our ideas were really listened too. There were so many options for lighting and photobooth backgrounds we were able to incorporate some Halloween options too which was great.
On the night of our wedding the whole team were helpful, they played the songs we asked for, played some special requests for our niece and what we really liked was our guests were able to request songs on the evening too, this made our night so much more fun and got everyone up dancing.
We also really enjoyed the fact the photobooth photos were available for us to see in a couple of days with a link we can share with the guests!"

Jessica & Matthew.

"To Rich & Sophie,

Where do we start with Rich & Russell Pro? Perfect from the first email to the big day itself! Rich not only sorted our our night time wedding disco, he sorted our music during the wedding breakfast, sorted our church music onto a disc for us, gave us the best deal on a all night photo booth with unlimited photos, mics & sound for the speeches and more, all the while dealing with a serious injury. We cannot thank you enough for the service you gave us. Our guests have non stop talked about how amazing our DJ was & the music throughout the night, it was the perfect blend of music to suit everyone. The first dance went off without a hitch! The attention to detail Russell Pro put in is next level & even wouldn't let us book certain things that wouldn't 100% work within our venue. Thank you for everything you did for us! We got recommend off our best man & maid of honour and we all would book Russell Pro 100 times over!"

"I just wanted to pass my thanks onto the DJ for Friday night - he was absolutely fantastic. All of our requests prior to the party were accommodated. A DJ can make or break a party's atmosphere. I’ve been to parties were the DJ has been awful, and have to admit I was a little worried, but I really needn’t have been.

Everyone had a great night, the music was relevant and all requests were played, even some of my oldie 80s, nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you again and I will certainly recommend you to everyone!"

Mandy.

We were fortunate to find Richard at Russell Pro DJ after being let down by another company (Richard had had a last minute cancellation so could fit us in). In the lead up he was very professional, and kept in regular contact with us regarding all aspects. He was able to answer all our questions and provide a tailored service to our and our guests needs (Including ensuring the lighting was appropriate for those with epilepsy).

On the day, Richard was brilliant. He arrived and set up way in advance of guests arriving, and worked with our venue to make sure everything ran as smooth as possible. The disco itself was great, and catered perfectly for all the guests tastes....meaning the dancefloor was always occupied. Richard had to cope with numerous requests throughout the evening and managed to keep everyone happy... with even time at the end for encores! His mic style was relaxed and upbeat without being overbearing. Thanks Richard, would highly recommend!"

Tom & Aimee.

"We booked Richard for our wedding 2020. Which due to the pandemic was postponed and arranged. Nothing was too much for him to arrange and he even added the low cloud fog for the first dance free of charge due to the messing around with COVID 19 which was a lovely touch. On the night he arrived in plenty of time to set up. The set looked amazing! The twinkle light back drop was perfect for what we wanted!

We also did a gender reveal at our wedding night which again was no trouble he sorted the lighting out perfect and timed it brilliantly! Overall fantastic. Would definitely book again and recommend to family and friends. Made our night do perfect and the dance floor was buzzing all night long!"

Livvy & Josh.

"Hi Richard,

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for providing the disco for our wedding! The music was absolutely brilliant and we really appreciate how fantastic you were at catering to our needs and requests despite it being such a strange time! We will definitely be recommending you to friends and family in the future! Many thanks and best wishes."

Claire & Ben.

"Just one word, Kickass! (Or is that two words to make one word... hmm).

Richard and his crew were absolutely amazing, Soooo professional and thorough. They thought of everything and could do anything. Not even saying this to blow smoke, but honestly Richard helped with scheduling the timing for the reception, which made everything else so much less stressful when planning the days events.

My partner and I hired him as a DJ as well as his photo booth, The photo booth was so legit big and professional, and his DJ'ing (not a word I know) skills were dead on. I'm from America and married a British man, so there were 50 British guests and only 3 Americans, Everyone form 5 years old to 70 years old was dancing ALL NIGHT LONG!!! I never left the dance floor. He knew what he was doing and what to play at all times, I only have amazing things to say about him and his crew.

Thank you so much, Richard."

Josie & Adam.

From the initial email right through to the end of the evening, Richard's customer service and professionalism was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble.

His wealth of experience and advice were invaluable and he went above and beyond during the event to ensure everything went smoothly.

Thank you so much Richard, you have been a pleasure to work with and we could not recommend you more highly!"

Richard was a pleasure to work with and nothing was an issue. My wife was on the dance floor from the moment the disco started to the to the very last song.

Thank you for an awesome night".

Thank you so much for making it a brilliant night!

You could tell everyone loved it by the fact that the dance floor was always full, and the photos are amazing, the web page is perfect, thanks again"

Rachel & Lewis.

"Fantastic service, from such a very kind and talented person.

We contacted Richard about our fundraising event for my wife's immunotherapy cancer treatment after being told how good he was by a friend. When we told him what we were wishing to do he freely offered his services, including his extensive photo booth experience. The night was a complete success thanks to Richard's professional knowledge and high tech equipment. His assistant, Joe, was also a real pleasure to work with.

Book him for your event for guaranteed success and lasting memories."

"Dear Richard,

I am sorry that I never got the chance to thank you on Friday evening, the music was exactly what we wanted to make the evening a success and we could actually talk about the music, Excellent!”

S Whitely.

"Hi Rich, I want to say a massive thank you for the Abi and Zoe’s party, they absolutely loved the music! You did a top job."

Simon.

"Hi Richard,

A quick note to express our great appreciation of your efforts on the 2nd May at our wedding,

you did a superb job for us and produced a great mixture of our choices and well chosen current danceable stuff, you obviously had a great feel for what we liked and how the party went, everybody had a great time and it helped make the day. We went to a similar evening do recently which we didn’t think was as good disco wise, so it just goes to show how important a professional outfit can be to help make it the outstanding day that it was”

"Richard was AMAZING, we booked him for our wedding prior to covid and had to postpone twice.. Richard was understanding and luckily able to change dates both times! He listened to what we wanted/didn't want, and the playlist he created for us was brilliant. He even remixed two songs for us so we were able to have the first dance song we really wanted. The guests were talking about the music for weeks after the wedding! The lighting was amazing, and there were lots of options to choose from! From booking to the wedding day, Richard kept in touch and responded quickly to any questions/queries I had! He even played our background music prior to him starting. We couldn't recommend Russell Pro DJ enough!"

Rochelle & Luke.

"We booked Russell Pro DJ for our wedding reception and the service was fantastic. He has a great unobtrusive style and catered to even our most 'niche' of music tastes. The sound and lighting were second to none.

Would Very Highly Recommend! Thank you for helping make our day really special"

Naomi & Shane.

Rich was professional and reliable and we loved having the photobooth at our wedding.

Emma & Tom.

"Would whole heartedly recommend Richard. Nothing was too much trouble and did a cracking set for my sons 21st and husbands 50th"

Helen.

"Booked for our wedding on the 21st July and we were not disappointed. Absolutely top class service all the way through and a brilliant playlist on the night. Faultless attention to detail and fast responses to any questions we had. Plenty of guests commented on how good they thought the DJ was.

Thank you so much for making our night an amazing one!"

Jen & Chris.

"Hi Richard,

We had a fantastic time, thank you again for helping to make our wedding so good! So many people have said it was the best wedding they have been to! I have to say I agree!"

Cheryl & Phil.

"Amazing amazing music, everyone was catered for so thank you so much :)

Rich was fantastic. I searched online and found his website so I had no idea what to expect. But he was very good at communicating in the lead up, came to meet me and see the layout of the marquee the day before. On the night he just got on with it! The dance floor was never empty and everyone was absolutely buzzing. The atmosphere was amazing as the music was fab and exactly what I had hoped for and everything that Rich had promised.

Thank you for making our wedding day run so smoothly and for fulfilling my wish of a fab night of dancing!!"

Emily & Andrew.

"Richard did our New Years Eve wedding at Rowley Manor, fantastic DJ, excellent equipment, professional service and a very nice bloke. Gave us the perfect wedding disco and would highly recommend. Took requests all night no problem as well as helping put together a playlist to suit me and my wife, allowed my best man to sing a song for us, and was helpful and cooperative with the planning of our first dance. Extremely satisfied."

Alix & James.

"We Booked Richard for our wedding at Swanland Village Hall and he was so polite and friendly. Richard played every request and his communication was excellent from our first contacting him.

We had booked him for 7pm and he came before our guests arrived at 2pm to set up and ended up staying and playing music all day and night, I couldn't recommend him more, he was fantastic"

Georgia & Joe.

"Hi Richard,

Thank you so much for all your efforts on Saturday night.

We had such a great evening everyone absolutely loved the Photo Booth, and the music was great as always.

See you next year !"

"Hi Richard,

I know we said it last night but thank you so much for the disco and for the photo booth. You have been absolutely great right from our first contact, very professional and so helpful which resulted in a brilliant night which we all really enjoyed.

Thank you, we couldn't have wished for any better".

Louise & Rich.

Thank you very much for all your help at our wedding party... You certainly gave us a fantastic service thank you again.

I look forward to seeing you again at my friends wedding on the 3rd of September, she loved the Photo Booth that much she couldn't resist".

Kind Regards, Shareen & Simon.

 

"Richard DJ'd our wedding this weekend and was amazing at it.

At some weddings I've been to the DJ can take over a bit and make it all about him, not Richard, he started to impress us months ago, we planned a "mash up" first dance and were particularly picky about which parts of songs we wanted in it and after a couple of fussy requests from us and a lot of work from him he nailed it!!

On the night he aced it again the dance floor was never empty, he asked us what kind of music we liked and made a playlist that was better than we could have created ourselves, even the bride's father was impressed and that doesn't happen every day!!

Thank you for all your hard work Richard, we had a fantastic night!!"

Anthony & Natalie.

 

"Hi Richard,

We appreciate the hard work you did to ensure that the new photo booth was up and running in time for our wedding at Rowley Manor.

We had a great time and so did our friends and family, the music you played was fab, it had everyone up dancing! The photo booth was an added dimension and great fun, we have enjoyed looking through the photos.

We would definitely recommend you, You were a true professional and nothing was too much trouble, which really helped when we had so much to organise, thank you for helping to make our wedding day fun".

Karen & Phil.

"Hi Richard,

just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your hard work on Friday night.

all the feedback we have received has been positive and the vast majority of it has been about you, you kept the kids entertained and enjoying themselves in such a wonderful way as well as using your lights to make the venue look amazing!

Thank you so much, and I hope you will come and DJ for us again when we have a repeat event (which judging from the requests we've had, won't be too long)"

Charlotte.

 

"Hi Richard,

we just wanted to say thank you once again for a fantastic night on Saturday, it was perfect from start to finish and your flexibility and professionalism was brilliant! We will be recommending you to any friends and family looking for a DJ !"

Very best wishes,

Laura & James.

 

"Hello Richard,

Thank you, we both had a fantastic evening, the music was great a good mix of what we both enjoy.

One of our friends commented that she would want the same playlist if she was arranging an event, I don't think praise comes much higher than that !"

Fiona & James.

 

"Hi Richard,

Just wanted to thank you for the fantastic job you did at my party last week, we had brilliant feedback regarding the music.

Many thanks and hopefully see you again in the near future."

This is Jodie Jane, the Madonna Tribute Act from Saturday.

I just wanted to thank you for being so easy going and helpful, especially to Dean my partner and sound man.

It was wonderful to work alongside you a complete breath of fresh air, It would be magic to meet you again and work on the same event, you really are top of your game.

What a wonderful night we all had".

J J  Jackson (Miss Madonna).

 

"Dear Richard,

Thank you for your perfect management, I had the best time at the party, you were very patient to wait so long, If we ever need such a disco in the future I hope you will be it”

“Dear Richard,

Further to our recent roadshow at Brough Aerospace,

I felt compelled to write to you and congratulate you for your excellent support team, Richard, Kevin, and Gary who were not only helpful but full of initiative and professionalism, I was very impressed with them.

If every time the Viking FM Roadshow went out, we would feel in very good hands if they where our support team.

Well done and thank you”

R Page, Promotions and Marketing Manager, Viking FM.

 

“Dear Richard,

Following a very successful weekend at the Sheffield Show, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting the event on the Hallam FM Hollywood Dome Stage.

The Police estimated the daily stage audience to be above 10,000 people (the screaming which is still ringing in my ears sounds like ten times that amount!).

Recorded highlights of the show will be broadcast in a special programme this weekend.

Once again, thanks for your help and support, we couldn’t pull it together without you, prepare to be hassled again next year!”

R Hizzard, Off-Air Events Manager, Hallam FM.

 

“Dear Richard,

Re: Sheffield Steelers Shirt Launch, Just a short note to say “Thank you” for all your help and cooperation with the shirt launch on Sunday 18th. The day was most successful and all your help was sincerely appreciated, I hope it was a successful day for Hallam FM and all concerned.

Here’s to another championship Ice Hockey season!”

H Roach, The Steelshack.

 

“Richard Russell has served as Disc Jockey on board our overnight cruise-ferry M.V. Norsun & M.V. Norsea,

In the two years with us he has proved to be a great asset to the Discotheque, his good nature, enthusiasm and rapport with our passengers stands him in good stead, his professional attitude to his work is evident not only in his wide knowledge of music but also in the way he is always open to suggestions, it is noted also that his time with us has seen a significant increase in bar takings.

In employing Richard you will find not only a true professional but also a good natured, honest and friendly person, we are sorry to lose him and wish Richard every success in the future.”

B. Bogaerd, Discotheque Manager, M.V. Norsun.
