Amazing experience at our wedding! Lewis McCallum is incredible. It was better than I expected and it gave my groom such a surprise when he belted out Natural by LAB on the sax. I couldn’t recommend Jan and his team enough. Our special day was perfect!!

We had Lewis McCallum from DJ4YOU / Better Band performing at our wedding reception. He did an amazing job, reading the crowd, and played what we needed to hear. Plus adding his flavour with the saxophone. Jan also made the whole organising process very easy and is very responsive. Thanks again!!
