CORTES HOUSE | OCTOBER 2024
We really have no words for what James pulled off last night but I’m sure everyone’s sore dancing feet will speak volumes!
We booked a Meal til Midnight with James and he had the vibes going before anyone even sat down! None of our guests expected to be singing and dancing at their tables during the meal but they did not stop!
We can’t thank James enough for all the time and effort that was put in, and really made our day amazing! 🪩🎤🎧

PALACE HOTEL | NOVEMBER 2025
James hosted and DJ’d our annual Ladies’ Day for our charity - Shirley’s Space. Honestly that was the BEST one yet! WHAT A DAY!!
I cannot thank James enough for yesterday, the dance floor was jam-packed from beginning to end. Working with live singer Paul Black and MoreThanSax, they had the floor literally “jumping”!!
It was unreal, my body is in bits. You kept the day flowing & it was the best one yet… and we've had a few.
If you're thinking about booking James, go for it! You will NOT be disappointed! X

MAC’S | APRIL 2025
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our engagement party than James. He completely understood the vibe we wanted and kept the energy perfect from start to finish.
His mic work and interaction really stood out - he got everyone involved, brought so much personality to the night, and had the whole room feeling like one big family.
So many of our guests came up to us saying how amazing the music and the energy was and that’s all thanks to James. We’re genuinely so grateful. It wouldn’t have been the same without you- thank you for being a part of our special evening.

DJ James Smith who was so friendly, helpful and kept our dance floor packed all night. We were absolutely blown away by James - he had our 13 year old son up on the decks, kept the energy & vibes high all night and made sure everyone had a blast.We booked from First Dance to Midnight, and also had a power hour with MoreThanSax alongside James on the decks. What talent from both gents - best party ever. Can’t thank the guys enough, they were both phenomenal!
10/10 from us!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for putting an incredible show on last night.
James absolutely nailed the niche sound we were going for - which was a massive component of our wedding day for us personally.
I appreciate the inclusion of all the special remixes and mashups we requested.
Overall, it was just sh*t hot, and all of us loved every second.

A very big thank you for the service provided by James Smith at Thainstone House for out wedding day on Saturday. He was superb!
We, and everybody we spoke to, said he was great!
Our guets especially liked his "Dancing for Dummies" for the ceilidh dances. Even my relatives from England joined in and had great fun!
The barman who was working in the ballroom on Saturday said it was the best music he had heard for a long time.
