Frankie & Richard’s Real Essex Wedding
A Magical Celebration at Channels, Chelmsford
On Friday night, I had the pleasure of being the wedding DJ at Channels in Chelmsford, a stunning rustic barn venue that’s perfect for relaxed yet elegant Essex weddings.
Frankie and Richard had already filled the afternoon with live music during their wedding breakfast, so my job was to take the reins for the evening and keep the energy high from the moment the first dance began. The result? A packed dancefloor, huge smiles, and one incredible celebration that summed up everything I love about being a wedding DJ in Essex.
The First Dance
The newlyweds chose “You’ve Got The Love” by Zak Abel, a soulful, heartfelt moment that set the tone for the night. Then came a touching father-daughter dance to “My Girl” by The Temptations, which had everyone smiling.
