Some testimonials from our Wedding Discos in Essex

A lovely thank you E-mail from Lisa and Luke relating to their wedding at Hylands House on Friday 23^rd March when I was their DJ and toastmaster.

Hi Richard,  I hope you are well. We have returned from our honeymoon, which was amazing. We managed to fit so much in!

We'd just like to thank you for your excellent services as Toastmaster and DJ on our wedding day. You were extremely reassuring from the very beginning right up until the end of the day. Luke and I wouldn't have had a clue what was supposed to happen and at what time, but you made it run so smoothly. Neither of us felt stressed with you there.

The guests have commented on how friendly and brilliant you were. Your relaxed and light-hearted approach to things definitely made us and the guests feel at ease. We were watching the wedding DVD over the weekend and our video guy had filmed you encouraging the guests to cheer before we arrived at the wedding breakfast. I think all of us at the head table felt very reassured when you spoke after each of our speeches, asking everyone to clap again. We loved how you got the guests cheering and laughing. That's a real talent!

We really enjoyed the disco, as did everyone. There was music for everyone of all ages and you seemed to have gaged it perfectly. The dance floor was never empty. I was extremely excited when 'The Music Man' came on. 

Even in the lead up to the wedding, you were so helpful and it was lovely talking to you the night before the wedding. We really enjoyed getting to know you at the Indian meal too.

Once again, thank you so much for making our wedding such a special and memorable day. I was so nervous that something would go wrong on the day, but it didn't. It ran smoothly because of you. We have some photos of you, so will send them on. You're amazing.     Thanks again     Lisa x and Luke

On Monday 29th August, our disco had the pleasure of performing at the Reid Rooms, Essex, for the wedding reception and evening party of Jim and Keri. I recieved a lovely thank you e-mail from Keri and Jim which reads as follows:

Dear Richard,   I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of the work that you put into our special day on the 29th August at the Reid Rooms.

From the moment that we saw you right until the end of the day when you finished the set and started to pack your stuff away, nothing was too much trouble and how you could help us to put our minds at rest was fantastic. Your efforts at the start of the day with people who were struggling to tie the cravat and also the buttonholes was immensely helpful to me especially.

The help that was offered for the greeting line meant that it took all of the pressure off of the best man and usher which also enabled Keri and myself to relax and enjoy the greeting line.

What was a really nice touch was the way that you introduced everyone for us formally as they walked in to shake our hands, that was very unexpected and a really nice touch. Having the PA in the room really did help all of the not so confident speakers, enabling them to project their voices without even thinking about it.

Finally a huge thank you for the disco.

We have seen clips of the first dance and other parts of the disco and agree that everyone had a great time. Comments coming back from all of our guests is that if someone requested a song it was played the very next song to their surprise and happiness. Also I have to say that I noticed that when the dance floor emptied, the style of music changed very quickly which filled the dance floor again in no time.

Keri and I cannot thank you enough for making our day so special.   Many Thanks   Jim & Keri Hartwright

On Saturday 29th January, our disco had the pleasure of performing at Mulberry House, just outside Ongar, Essex, for the wedding reception and evening party of Donna and Mat. I recieved a lovely thank you e-mail and then a thank you card from Donna and Mat which reads:

Hello Richard, Just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our reception such a success. We really did have a great time and we've had lots of positive comments from our guests too. Everyone said it's the best night they'd had in ages. Thanks for being so helpful and a big part of making it such a success.

We couldn't have asked for a better night and I'll be sure to recommend you should anyone I know need a DJ or toastmaster.  Thanks again Donna and Mat

Wedding Day Disco

On Saturday 21st August the Essex based Classic Nomad Disco and Light Show worked at Mulberry House, just outside Ongar, Essex, for the wedding of Hannah and Chris. I recieved a lovely thank you card from Hannah and Chris which reads:

Dear Richard, When Chris and I started planning our wedding, there was no-way we weren't going to have you as our toastmaster and DJ, having met you a few years ago when you were the toastmaster and DJ at my brothers wedding and then again for a close friend. We were able to see the passion you have for your job and we wanted that passion and experience at our wedding. So when we found Mulberry House and got a date, the next step was to make sure you were available, we were over the moon when you said yes. We knew from that day our wedding was going to be the best we could imagine. We were not disappointed, the whole day and evening was amazing and went without any hiccups, this was down to you and the fantastic team at Mulberry House. Chris and I felt extremely lucky we had the best people working at our wedding. Having you, David and John, working together was a real pleasure. Ricahrd you are a true gentleman and it was our pleasure to have you as our toastmaster and DJ at our wedding. We honestly cannot thank you enough. If somebody was to ask me one peice of advice about planning a wedding, I would say "Book Richard Palmer", it would be the best thing you do. Wishing you all the best for the future, with love Hannah & Chris xxx

Installed and manned by experienced operators

The quality of our sound and lighting systems is such that we are now getting bookings from more discerning clients who demand high quality, well presented equipment, for top class musicians performing at high level social events where attention to detail is of prime importance.

I have just received a very kind letter from

Mr. Michael Hindmarch, High Sheriff of Essex

for two functions where we provided

sound, lighting and toastmaster services, which reads as follows.

Dear Richard, I would like to thank you for providing the lighting and sound for our Garden Party on 9th July and for our Musical Evening with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra on 10th July. It was all very professionally arranged with enthusiasm and great attention to detail.  Your sincerely  Michael Hindmarch, Essex High Sheriff

The picture above and on the left shows the High Sheriff of Essex, Mr Michael Hindmarch, with Mrs. Hindmarch and our colleague Andrew Morgan from the English Toastmasters Association, ready to start the receiving line to great the guests.

The next two pictures may give you an indication of the quality and stunning appearance of our disco equipment set up at a wedding, with colour matched, crushed velvet frontage and most of the lighting equipment not visible but very effective.

  A lovely thank you e-mail from Patrick and Jane, the parents of Caroline who married Babor at South Farm Royston,near Cambridge on 30th May I was both toastmaster during the day and then DJ during the evening at this wedding.

Dear Richard, Thank you so very much for doing such a superb job in managing our daughter's wedding on May 30th. We really appreciated your frienliness and efficiency and the way that you were able to take control with such a light touch. It was great for us to be able to relax and enjoy the day knowing that everything was taken care of.

We were impressed by the way you metemorphosed into such a splendid disco! It was tremendous fun and my husband particularly asked me to pass on his thanks for playing the Rolling Stones track "Happy".

The day was a huge success and we realise that much of it was due to the splendid team behind it all, so many thanks again for your part in making it such a special day.

Best wishes in your future ventures, Patrick and Jane

The Classic Nomad Disco & Light Show Experience

Leading quality Essex wedding disco and corporate mobile discos

The disco lighting is out of sight during the day, which makes for a smarter look to the mobile disco equipment and blends in with your wedding.  The lighting quickly pops up for your evening party and disco when you have finished your wedding breakfast.  We use new style robotic lights which give you the best effects, coupled with a wash of colours as a backdrop.  We are told by our clients and many photographers that they are absolutely stunning.  We generally work in and around Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Kent and London.

The picture above left was taken at Channels Golf Club near Chelmsford and shows the mobile disco equipment with no overhead lighting during the wedding breakfast. The robotic lights pop up for the evening party.  The picture above right was taken in the Rosewood Suite at Stock Brook Manor Golf and Country Club, Billericay and shows a subtle blend of white, cream and light gold to match the wedding colours. We have continued to modernise the presentation of our mobile disco equipment to help blend in to your wedding day.

We would love to help you on your wedding or special day and for us to give you the best service, please be aware that we respond fastest when you provide us with your phone number and the date of your event. 

We are unlike most other disco and mobile disco companies as we are very client focused and will help you through your whole day.  We will arrive early and play your music for your Civil Ceremony or Wedding Service.  We will provide music (that you have chosen) between your Wedding and your Wedding Breakfast, wherever you would like that music played.  We will play for you during your Wedding Breakfast and provide radio microphones for your speeches if you would like them.  We are also pleased to play for you between your Wedding Breakfast and your Evening Party, continuing throughout the evening.

We prefer to talk to you personally to establish your requirements. 

This is so that we may establish the details of the services that you may wish to use and give you proper and accurate answers to all of your questions.

A date and venue only are not enough details for us to look after you properly or to allow us to quote accurately.

Please help us to help you by letting us have your phone number for all enquiries. 

Please phone now on 01245 222392 or 07971 409977 and talk to Richard Palmer

A lovely thank you card from Lisa and Dean, who had their wedding and reception at Parklands, Quendon, Essex on 18th February

Wedding thanks to Richard, We both wanted to say a huge thank you to both you and Classic Nomad Disco for what you did at our wedding at Parklands. From start to finish you were superb. You listened to our requests and you didn't fail to deliver. When you did our announcements. you did them in a professional manner. Our evening reception was the party we wanted it to be, with the dance floor in use all night long.We have had nothing but positive comments from our guests. Listening to our wedding CD's brings back happy thoughts of our wedding day. From Lisa and Dean

A fantastic card arrived from Dan & Sarah, regarding their wedding at Boreham House, Chelmsford, Essex, on the 5th November

Dear Richard, What can we say? You did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding day at Boreham House on the 5th November. We are so pleased that we chose you to be our toastmaster and DJ. Everything went to plan, and we didn't need to worry about a single thing. Even our ushers complained that they had nothing to do, ha ha!

You really made the day very special by providing such an organised but personal touch to everything. The dance floor was busy all night and a great time was had by all. Thanks again Dan & Sarah x

Katie and Rob's Wedding Photographs Gaynes Park Barns 10th October Photography by my very good friend David Court of Court on Camera Photography, based in Epping

The guests arrived by public transport - on time, which is more than could be said for Rob who made a last minute dash. The ceremony was witnessed by both Katie and Rob's Mums. Following the ceremony the newly married couple went for a walk in the grounds of Gaynes Park before greeting their waiting guests. Following the Wedding Breakfast the speeches were held with Rob looking nervously on. The cake cutting ceremony proved to be a huge success with both Katie and Rob giving it their seal of approval. The first dance was performed with perfection Rob (Travolta) and Katie (Thurman) performed the classic made famous in the 1994 Quenton Tarantino film - Pulp Fiction.The "Dream Team" ensuring that Rob and Katie's day passed without a hitch were Mikaela from Gaynes Park (a big personal thank you for looking after us all), Andrew Morgan as Toastmaster, John Rose videographer and my good friend Richard Palmer providing the music with the Classic Nomad Disco.

Oh! I nearly forgot - wedding photography undertaken by Essex Wedding Photographers CourtOnCamera.

All the information above, relating to this wedding was taken from the Essex Wedding Photographer's site at Court on Camera web site

And now for my testimonial from Katie and Rob which reads as follows;- To Richard, Just wanted to say a very big thank you for providing the music at our wedding. from the ceremony to the disco the music was fantastic and so many people commented on how good it was. Also, Just thank you for being another support with everything on the "day" - You were brilliant.  Love Katie and Rob

Dear Richard, We just wanted to say the biggest thank you to you for helping to make our wedding day and evening reception a resounding success! You worked really hard to create a truly brilliant atmosphere as we arrived, during the wedding breakfast and the evening disco.

The music you played during the afternoon and evening was perfect and so many people got up and danced! We certainly had such a lot of fun!! Your rig was just great and really matched our colour scheme too! We knew from the first time we spoke to you that you would make our day a brilliant one and you did just that! The day was truly memorable and you helped it all run really smoothly. Even though we did not officially hire you as a toastmaster you gave us a service as if we had. We will certainly not hesitate in recommending you and your team to friends and relatives in the future. Thank you again Richard! All the best Karolyn and Greg xxx

The New Year's Eve Disco at the Warley Park Golf Club, near Brentwood. Essex

What a fantastic night.  There was a really electric atmosphere there, with everyone hoping to have a great night.  The members and their guests seemed to know that they were in for a party to surpass all parties. 

Having worked there earlier in December, you sort of "get a feel" for what you think they may like.  Well they were "up for it" and enjoyed a wonderful night. It was great to hear such complimentary comments such as, "You are the best DJ we have ever had here" and loads of sincere thank you's. 

Dear Richard,   Re:  New Years Eve 2008 At Warley Park we have a reputation for excellent service and providing our members and customers with good quality events.  Over the past year feedback has been extremely positive resulting in most of our events being sold out.  Comments received have been “very enjoyable”, “staff were excellent, food of very good standard”.    Following our New Year’s Eve Party, when you were our DJ, I have received comments such as “the best party I’ve been to”, “Everything was excellent – the food, the staff and the disco”, “The best dj ever to have played at the Club”.   Thank you for helping to make our New Year’s Eve Party such a success.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.   Nick Hawkins  General Manager

Our Music Library Room

and probably the largest music library in private hands in the country!

Early August 2006 our music library was built. This was a picture of the library (taken early 2008).  We have plenty of music to fill the room but are busy with our brides and clients and so will keep filling the room and sorting our CDs into order as we get the time.  We have found that having this facility has vastly improved the speed that it takes us to find unusual requests. With the introduction of iTunes the whole music industry has been revolutionised and we do not need to buy so many CDs now. However we are still growing our library but have the facility to connect to our clients' own appliances at functions to allow them to play the music that they may have with them.

Our main music library is based at our headquarters where we try to keep all of the most popular music in stock, but in the unlikely event of us not having what you want, we will buy it.  Our complete library has more than 230,106 titles, which we believe is the largest music library in the mobile disco business.  We keep updating the catalogue as new music arrives.  There is movement on a regular basis, as we continue to sort the music into appropriate sections.  The shelves on the main wall are 8 feet high and it is so good to have all our music library in one room.  This is only a part of our music stock.  On our main rig, we were taking out over 28 boxes of music, this equates to over 48,000 titles (please see the picture below for an indication of how much music we have in our library).

We are very lucky to have the support of David Court www.courtoncamera.co.uk who has updated the library picture, to give you a better indication of the size of our music collection.

We have a comfortable area for meeting our brides and grooms (please see pictures below). You can go through your plans for your day, discussing your music and your instructions, so that your day will be how you want it to be.  You are able to view past weddings that we have worked at, on a very large screen (84") with surround sound, to help you get ideas about your wedding day and what you would like us to do for you.  We have re-equipped the room to make it more comfortable and offer further services.

A range of equipment to help you with ideas for your wedding day is available for you to choose from.  The following items are only a taster of what we are able to offer and if you have any special requests, we may be able to help you.  Please see our new list from the menu, new for 2013.

4 Panel Screen

Just over 8 feet long and upholstered in white crushed velvet.  Each of the panels is a little over 2 feet by 6 feet.  The screen may be supplied in any colour of your choice (subject to range availability) and may be used as a 2, 3 or 4 panel screen.  This is a quality built piece of equipment and the upholstery matches the coverings for your disco or your wedding.

Sound and lighting systems for hire

The picture above is one of our smaller high quality sound systems (being used at a wedding breakfast at Layer Marney Tower).  This system may be used for music during your wedding or wedding breakfast and may be supplied with two or more high quality UHF radio microphones for the speeches and a pair of speakers which may be pole mounted and used inside or out. These systems are available for hire from around £100.00.

RECOGNISING EXCELLENCE WITHIN THE WEDDING INDUSTRY

Category: Entertainment

 * Would definitely hire this disco again, everyone was pleased and those who never dance got up and joined in!! Thank you for a fantastic job.

 * Classic Nomad are amazing. Without them my wedding reception would not have been the same. Even now people are commenting on how good the disco was, the extra special touches were excellent. I would be so pleased to see them win an award to prove how professional they really are.

 * Gave lots of advice with the wedding not only with the music. Dressed the stand to match colours of our wedding.

 * Professional, fun and helped make a great day

 * Richard went out of his way to make our day truly memorable, providing amongst other deeds, help for my disabled friend, as well as making the reception fantastically atmospheric with his professional know how Richard was integral to the success of our day.

 * No job was too hard for Richard, he even went the extra mile for us!

 * We received an excellent service from the moment we contacted Classic Nomad. they were keen to ensure all the details of our Wedding were covered and even had suggestions and contacts for the other elements we were in the process of organizing. On the night they got the party going and turned out one great song after another to keep everyone up dancing.

 * A first class friendly professional service where nothing was too much trouble from planning to finale.

 * Really helped us create the evening we wanted went out of their way to source rare music

 * Despite our chaotic wedding preparation (including a last minute trip to Casualty!!) Classic Nomad truly made our wedding celebration a day to remember - Richard made sure to include all those little touches that were so important to us in ensuring that all of our guests felt they were fully part of the day.

 * Nomad were friendly, professional and everything we hoped for. They got the music and atmosphere just right. So many of our guests commented on how fantastic the music was and the dance floor was packed at all times. We've recommended them to all of our friends.

 * Nothing was too much trouble. The music was great and Richard in general was a great help on our big day.

 * Well and discreetly set up.  very professional.  Had a fantastic evening.

* Great selection, worked as a team.

* Great rig, excellent service, very professional.

 * Extremely well organised and very reassuring even when hired at short notice. Classic Nomad enhanced our special day.

 * Went above and beyond when coping with the venue losing power. Recommended.

 * We were absolutely delighted by the level of service Richard provided us on our special day! The music was exceptional - all different types that made EVERYONE happy and dancing! He was also out toastmaster so he managed to get a feel of what type of music people where into! The set up of equipment couldn't even be seen and the lights where FANTASTIC! We have recommended him to all our friends and family as he was outstanding! We have been too many weddings and I have to say Classic Nomad are the best entertainment by far! Certainly not a cheesy / cheap affair but a very professional classy set up! Me and my husband would really like to see Richard win this category as he puts in so much effort to make your day special and it would be wonderful if we could somehow thank him by him winning this award as saying 'thank you' just isn't enough!

 * Richard and his team not only provided a disco but made our day very special indeed. Providing an excellent level of service and customer focus. Richard also gave us a photo album with 150 photos of our wedding evening. They are friendly and helpful. I would recommend them to anyone.

* Richard took us to dinner which meant he could get to know us and enabled him to really know what we wanted from our DJ going this extra mile meant that our guests were never off of the dance floor; so many people complimented the disco and evening reception.

Now for something completely different - 

The NSPCC   

At the English Toastmasters Association members meeting on Tuesday 21st October, we discussed working for charities.  This is an odd ball in the way that I have tackled it.  (and yes I am a toastmaster as well as a DJ)   I had a call from the NSPCC who needed help and fast.  They wanted a fire breather to do a stunt at the Colchester United Football Club at 10.00am today (24th October).  Well here is the photo of me in action.  I'm the guy breathing fire at the back. 

These pictures were taken by David, an excellent Essex Portrait Photographer at www.stourvalleyphotography.com   

Now where does this lead to. 

They had an excellent Emerald Ball on Saturday 29th November at the Colchester United Football Club stadium and I was their toastmaster and what an excellent night out in aid of the NSPCC. 

I have had a lovely thank you letter from Katie at kat pr consultancy which reads as follows;- 

Richard is a knight in shining armour!

He stepped in at the last moment at what must have been a great inconvenience to himself - all in the aid of charity!  His help towards Colchester NSPCC has been amazing and he has a heart of gold. 

His skills as a fire breather are just awe-inspiring and it creates something 'that little bit different' to any event - I can heartily recommend him and it will get and keep people talking about our event for much longer than they would do otherwise!

As a toastmaster he is perfection and his all round willingness to pitch in and help in any way possible is just more than you could ever wish for!  Thank you from the NSPCC and Thank you from the Colchester Business Group and Thank you from me!    Katie Skingle   Chairwoman for the Colchester NSPCC Business Group

Please go to www.colchesternspccbusinessgroup.org.uk to see if you can help their group or make donations.

Just to prove that Katie is right about me in one of her comments, I have the picture of me in armour, although it was taken from my jousting days "a few years ago". 

I now find fire breathing much more spectacular and far safer than jousting, please see www.thefirebreather.co.uk
