Rich S
Radio polish. Wedding dancefloor instinct.
An adaptable and accomplished wedding DJ with deep knowledge of music past and present. Rich has played extensively across Oxford and London, presents on JACK FM, and is known for keeping dancefloors full across all age groups with energetic but well-judged sets tailored to each couple.
What Rich Brings To A Room
- Broad musical knowledge — decades and genres, not a wedding playlist on repeat.
- Radio presenter polish — confident on the mic when speeches or announcements need support, discreet when they do not.
- Adaptable crowd judgement — watches who is dancing, who is at the bar, and adjusts tempo without forcing the room.
- Warm, professional presence — easy to talk to during planning and calm under pressure on the night.
- Smooth mixing — transitions that feel natural, whether the brief is disco, RnB, indie or a must-play list with personality.
Best Suited For
Mixed-age weddings
Couples whose guest list spans generations and want one dancefloor that works for all of them — without dumbing down the music.
Oxford, London & the South West
Regular work across Oxfordshire, London and Somerset venues including Babington House, Brympton, Cripps Barn, Orchardleigh, Coombe Lodge and North Cadbury Court.
Must-play couples
If you care about specific tracks, genres or a Doctor Who remix at midnight — Rich listens, plans and delivers.
Private parties
Birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations where a knowledgeable DJ beats a playlist — see our private parties approach.
How Rich Builds A Dancefloor
A busy dancefloor starts with listening — not louder music.
Background that sets a tone without announcing the party too early — conversation-friendly, still curated.
Energy lifts gradually. Must-plays land at sensible moments; the floor begins to gather without a sudden genre shock.
Mixed generations finding common ground — disco into RnB, indie into chart, always with smooth transitions.
When the room is ready, Rich pushes with confidence. Requests woven in; the floor stays moving.
Keeping people dancing without exhausting the room — judgement about when to wind down or keep going.
Music Style & Strengths
Open-format wedding sets
From classic soul and disco to modern chart and club edits — chosen for your guests, not a formula.
Radio breadth
Presenter experience on JACK FM feeds into programming that holds attention across a long evening.
Seamless mixing
Technical skill that supports flow — particularly when moving between eras or honouring a detailed brief.
Request-friendly
Your must-plays and must-not-plays taken seriously; the set still feels like a journey, not a jukebox.

What Couples Are Saying
A selection of recent feedback from couples Rich has DJ'd for.
We absolutely adored having Rich S play our wedding celebration. He totally set the tone for the party, and worked with our tastes and playlist to create an atmosphere that was electric. He is incredibly talented! We were utterly thrilled to have Rich S lead us in celebrating our marriage. And the additional Doctor Who dance remix was especially appreciated.

I wanted to follow up our wedding in which Rich Smith DJ'd for us at Kingscote Barn. I can't thank Rich enough for the evening. He was simply awesome. The music was great and the party was the best we've ever had. The comments and feedback from our guests are still coming in, the last 30 minutes in a large group is one of the best experiences I've ever had! Can you please pass on our thanks and tell him he is the first phone call I will make in future if we have a party!

Hi Ali, I hope you're well. I said I'd let you know how Rich S got on at our wedding a couple of weeks ago so just thought I'd drop you an email. He was a massive hit! The dance floor was pretty packed for most of the night (except perhaps when guests were distracted by food!). So many guests commented on how good he was - so much better than your average wedding DJ, so thank you to you and to Rich. Unfortunately I didn't really get the chance to speak to Rich on the night so if you're able to pass on mine and my husband's thanks that would be much appreciated. All the best,
