The thank you card details below are from Tony & Louise's wedding, wedding breakfast and evening party at Channels on Friday 14th March 2008 and there was a power cut in the area, but we carry a battery backed up system which runs with an excellent quality sound, (made by BOSE, so it would be).

Tony and I would like to say a huge thank you for all that you did for us on our wedding day.  You were a life saver with the music especially during the power cuts.  Without your professionalism and equipment we would have had a very different ceremony and evening reception.

We thank you for playing our music for the ceremony, this made it even more special for us.

We really enjoyed ourselves and all our guests said they had a great time and that is down to you and your disco.

Many thanks  Tony and Louise

Andy & Victoria's wedding at Channels on 10th November 2007 and thank you letter and pictures shown below.  

THANK YOU  -  THE NOMAD ROCKS!    Richard, Thanks alot for the excellent Disco on the 10th November!  You really made our wedding go off with a bang  The music was brilliant and the lighting really set off Channels to its best.  We have had nothing but good reports from all of our friends and everyone really enjoyed themselves.  I have never seen so many people dancing at a wedding before.  If you need any references then please let us know

Andy and Victoria xxx.  

   

Basically, we just wanted to say how thankful we are to you for not only helping us and giving us advice for the last year, but also for being such a fantastic part of our wedding day.  I can honestly say (and I know I’m biased) it was the most incredible party I have ever been a part of, the music was absolutely spot on and nearly everyone was up and dancing, even Ian’s Gran!!!  The confetti canons which went off during our first dance were magical and also made for some lovely photographs.  However, the icing on the cake had to be the inflatable guitars which you threw out during the night, everyone thought it was brilliant, made dancing to Queen so much more interesting.

A thank you letter from a very special couple

fun wedding party 

The two pictures above are from Jodie & Matt's wedding at Vaulty Manor on Friday 17th August 2007 and I have just had an e-mail in which reads as follows - Hi Richard, hope you are well.
Got back from our honeymoon Sunday night, had a great 2 weeks. Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for your efforts on our wedding day. It really helped to have you there to talk to, it made me feel everything was under control and that calmed me down a lot. During the day you were exceptionally helpful & polite, many of our friends and family commented on this, Thank you.
The evening was fantastic throughout, although our personal highlight was the impromtu ''rave section'' in the middle of the evening, we spent the next evening with all our close friends and family before we went away and they were all asking if we had arranged this with you. We of course said NO, but we loved it, so did everyone else judging by the dance moves we saw being displayed for all to see.
Genius - is this the norm for you or did you pick up the vibe and know we would all love it? Either way it doesn't matter, it went down a storm, it will be one of our lasting memories for sure!!
Anyway, like I said, THANKS. Jodie, Matt & Livvy

 

The bride and groom below are Rob and Sam, who were married at Gaynes Park on Friday 27th July.  Their letter reads as follows - Dear Richard,  Thank you so much for all your help on our wedding day.  You really did so much extra for us to ensure that everything ran smoothly.  We had the most amazing day, and I think its fair to say that everyone loved the party.  I hope it wasn't too rowdy!  We'll certainly recommend you to our friends in the future for any weddings or parties.  Thanks again and many best wishes Sam and Rob

 

 

       

 

I took these two pictures (shown above) at Steve and Fiona's wedding at Vaulty Manor and I wish to thank them for choosing me to look after them on their wedding day, (I am writing this update on Friday 24th August 2007).  Thank you to all of the wedding guests for such a wonderful party.  The picture on the left was when I laid down in the middle of the dance floor for a little rest - and the next thing I knew was!!!

***   I have just received an E-Mail from Steve and Fiona.  Just a couple of lines from Fiona and I to express our thanks for helping to make our day "a day to remember." From a personal point of view, I found your approach and professionalism top notch. Your knowledge and expertise in the minute to minute running of events helped greatly to the smooth running of our day. From feedback we've received thus far, everybody enjoyed the disco and I was most impressed how your rig blended in with the barn's decor. Once again Richard, thank you. Steve and Fiona.          ***

A birthday party for Lynda 25th May 2007

After the celebration becomes a kaleidoscope of memories and sounds, one element stands out- The sight and sounds of Classic Nomad!

'Lynda and I would like to thank you and your team for a tremendous show at our 60th birthday bash at Hylands House last Friday 25th May.  Your choice of music was superb and blended perfectly with the atmosphere in each room.  To this add your discreet management of the guests, meant that Lynda and I could relax and mingle with our guests knowing that you were quietly keeping an experienced eye on all of the needs of our guests.

Then the disco.  Your skill and smooth professionalism as a DJ was only surpassed by your collection of music which had all the guests amazed!  We have never seen our friends dance so much or so enthusiastically.  A big thank you again Richard for your help and advice and your enthusiastic extra input you gave in managing the evening, which made our enjoyment so much more appreciated.  Watch out for our booking of Lynda's seventieth.

Our very grateful thanks and regards.'

Nigel and Lynda

'We would like to say thank you for all your help and advice leading up to our wedding day and of course everything that you did on the day.  As our DJ we thoroughly enjoyed the music and were dancing until the close.  It was a fantastic day and wouldn't have been the same without you.  We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you for family or friends.'

Dear Richard: 

'I just want to say a huge thank you for all your help with this year’s Cambridge University Jewish Society Ball.

You came highly recommended and did not disappoint us. It was a pleasure working with you before and during the event. You and your team made that extra effort to ensure that the night was a success. It was the little details, in particular dressing up as a ringmaster to fit in with the theme of the evening, which helped add that extra special touch to the event. I would have no hesitations about using you for any future events.

Many thanks for all your hard work and effort.'

Joshua Ejdelbaum

'Just a note to thank you very much for your time, care and attention.  Your assistance was greatly appreciated by Sarah and I at every stage of our wedding.  Your enthusiasm and professionalism made our day easier to enjoy and all the more special.  I will certainly be recommending your services to any of my friends or colleagues looking for a DJ or Toastmaster.

All the best and kind thanks'

'We wanted to pass on our sincere thanks to you for helping to make our wedding day the most special and perfect ever.  You went to a lot of trouble to make sure the music, lighting and smoke machines(!) were just as we wanted them to be and we really appreciate your efforts.

The day went just how we wanted and we are grateful for your contribution, in particular the Harry Potter music to the fireworks which exceeded our expectations and made the fireworks even more spectacular and magical.

Thanks again.  We would have no hesitation in recommending you.'

Richard and Sonia

We were all so pleased with how smoothly everything went and at what pace the events of the day unfolded, mostly thanks to you.

You did an excellent job in the evening as our DJ, the disco was exceptionally good.  Many thanks once again.'

'Thank you so very much for making our wedding day so perfect. '

*8     16th September 2006

.We thought we would say a MASSIVE thank you for making our day the best day of our lives.

We know it sounds a bit soppy but you (and also your colleague) made everyone very relaxed and happy and it was an absolute pleasure for you to be at our wedding!!!!

Everyone commented on your music and how brilliant it was.  The music you played was fantastic - everyone was up dancing - I think quite a few people didn't get a chance to sit down!   When looking at the pictures in the evening of the wedding everyone looks like they are having a fantastic time and that's all we really wanted - for everyone to have a memorable and happy day!!!

Once again thank you so much for being our DJ!!!!!'

Mark and Sonya   Stock Brook Golf and Country Club  19th August 2006

'Thank you very much for doing the music for us.  You put on a fabulous show. 

The decoration was brilliant to fit in with our theme perfectly.  The whole set up looked beautiful and could not have been better in any way.   The lights looked stunning with all the different colours and effects.

Everyone I spoke to afterwards said the music was wonderful.  The music which we had chosen worked really well I thought.  Everyone commented on how varied the selection was, and I am very grateful to you for managing to judge which songs to play depending who was on the floor.  It has to be said that your selection of music was enormous, it is hard to believe that there is any song you could not have played.  Once again thank you so much for providing such marvellous entertainment and for ensuring that, that part of the evening went smoothly.  Thank you'

Alice   Layer Marney Tower  30th August 2006

*10     20th August 2006

'We can not believe that our wedding day was over a month ago.  The wonderful memories we hold make it feel like yesterday.

We just wanted to write and thank you for being our DJ at our wedding, we both had a truly amazing day and you ensured that we enjoyed every second of it.

The whole day was just perfect, and it was all superbly managed by you.  Your professionalism and personality were outstanding and you made both us and our guests feel comfortable and relaxed.

The evening disco was the best that we have ever seen at a wedding, the library of music that Classic Nomad has and the rig set up was fantastic and we have been told by our guests that all music requests were met.

Once again we would like to thank you for making our special day an unforgettable experience.  We wish you every success for the future and would not hesitate to recommend your services.'

Unless otherwise stated, all the photographs on this site are our own, and have not been altered or enhanced.  We are trying to give you a true impression of how we present ourselves and our equipment.

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 208,373 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 take 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 carry).

 Classic Nomad mobile disco wedding specialist music collection first dance selection

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.

 

Equipment For Hire

We stock a range of hire equipment to help you with ideas for your wedding day.  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 2007.
