Chris Lee. Wedding & Party DJ in Essex & London.
A musician before I was a DJ, so I read a room the way a performer does. Nexo sound, tour-grade lighting and a properly mixed set — covering Essex, London and the South East for weddings, private parties and corporate nights.
What I Do
One DJ. One rig. One brilliant night.
You deal with me from the first enquiry to the final track — no agency, no last-minute substitute DJ. We'll talk through your timings, your must-plays and your absolute no-gos well before the day.
Years in the music industry mean I understand what music does to a room. Old tunes, 80s and 90s dance, old-school classics and today's chart-toppers — an eclectic mix, and the knowledge to put it in the right order for your night.
Wedding DJ
From your first dance to the last song of the night. Ceremony and drinks-reception music, tasteful announcements, radio mics for the speeches, and a floor-filling evening set built around your must-plays.
Private Parties
18ths, 21sts, milestone birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations. 80s, soul, Motown, disco and current chart — mixed properly, with the volume kept sensible for the guests who came to talk.
Corporate Events
Awards nights, Christmas parties and company celebrations. Discreet background music through dinner, full production and a lively set afterwards. Reliable, insured and venue-ready.
Lighting & Production
Nexo PA, Sennheiser radio mics, K10 washes and 280 beam moving heads all controlled from an Avo Titan, and up to 12 up-lighters colour-matched to your scheme, with Pangolin lasers and star cloth as optional extras subject to set-up time. Set up early, packed down quietly.
Musician Turned DJ
Years fronting live bands before moving behind the decks in 2008.
1,000+ Events Played
Weddings, corporate nights, soul and 80s parties across Essex and beyond.
You Get Chris
No agency, no stand-in DJ. The person you book is the person who turns up.
Meet Your DJ
Chris Lee
Essex-based DJ, musician and event production specialist
From the Stage to the Decks
I spent years as a working musician, playing live to rooms of every size before moving into DJing in 2008. That background shapes how I run a night — building energy in waves, knowing when to drop the tempo, and understanding that a dance floor is a performance, not a playlist on shuffle.
The Kit
Nexo PA systems and Sennheiser radio mics for crystal clear speeches. On lighting: K10 washes and 280 beam moving heads, all controlled from an Avo Titan, and up to twelve up-lighters colour-matched to your styling, with Pangolin lasers and a star cloth backdrop as optional extras subject to set-up time. It's tour-grade equipment, scaled to your room.
The Music
Weddings, corporate nights, 18ths, 21sts, milestone birthdays and dedicated 80s and soul evenings. Motown, disco, funk, indie, house and current chart — mixed properly and steered by the room, plus whatever you've told me is non-negotiable.
Every booking is played by me personally — nothing is subcontracted. When you book Chris Lee, it's Chris behind the decks on the night.
Why Book Chris
A Full Dance Floor, Every Time
One DJ, one rig, one point of contact. I set up early, keep out of the way during the formalities, and deliver a night your guests actually talk about afterwards.
A Musician First
Years spent on stage in bands before moving behind the decks in 2008 — I read a room the way a live performer does.
Tour-Grade Sound
Nexo PA systems and Sennheiser radio mics. Clean, powerful audio that fills the room without deafening the bar.
Proper Lighting
K10 washes and 280 beam moving heads, all controlled from an Avo Titan, plus up to 12 up-lighters matched to your colour scheme. Lasers (Pangolin) and star cloth are optional extras, subject to set-up time.
No Cheesy Gimmicks
No shouting on the mic, no naff jingles. Tasteful announcements when they're needed and music the rest of the time.
Your Playlist, Respected
Send your must-plays and your do-not-plays. I'll build the night around them and read the floor from there.
Fully Covered
Public liability insurance and PAT-tested equipment as standard — everything your venue will ask for.

Chris did a fantastic job with our playlist, announcing things on the schedule, and in trying to fend off requests on our 'do not dare' list. All the attendees really enjoyed the event and we managed to get all but one on the dance floor which is no mean feat.
