CHOICE Dj was last night crowned as ‘DJ of the Year’ by Kent Wedding Awards judges.
Owner Phil Webster who has been a Professional DJ for the last 14 years said, “It’s a great honour to win this award, we have developed several new concepts throughout 2015 and its an amazing feeling to be judged as the best by a panel of industry experts.
Phil added, “I was back home in Cliffe preparing to go off to Paris at 3am so didn’t have a clue. We had been runners up for the previous three years but this was the first year I hadn’t attended because of the trip so it was great when friends and colleagues started messaging me so to tell me the news.
We have worked incredibly hard all year round. Weare constantly trying to find new ways to take our business to the next level …our clients testimonials give us the inspiration to raise the bar in the wedding industry …my advice to anyone out there who didn’t win is to never give up and keep pushing forward your business ideas”.
What The Judges Said About Us
Below is a copy of the voiceover announcement of the judges comment from the awards night at The Mercure Hotel, Maidstone on the evening of Thursday 12 November 2015.
Wedding DJ of the Year – Choice DJ
“All about the couple” A tough category but judges loved their online event planner service, their first dance cam and really loved the option of live percussion alongside the disco. A great choice of clearly outlined packages offered for couples and fantastic testimonials too.

We are just back from honeymoon after our wedding on the 7th Aug 2015, I’ve never had to book at DJ before so did a quick search on google, One of the first that came up was Choice DJ, I watched a few youtube videos of their Discos and decided straight away that I had found one of the best. We were limited on budget – however we decided to pay that little bit extra to hire Choice DJ because of their impressive previous performances. We wasn’t disappointed! Phil arrived at the perfect time and set up while we were having drinks in the bar, He played a mixture of our playlist and songs to get people up as and when it was require, we asked for a complete mixture of music from Cheesy Party, to Chart, to Dance tracks. Completely unaware to me but my partner had professional recorded her singing our first dance song which Phil played for us. The compliments we have had about our DJ were fantastic – Thank you Phil we have already recommended you to my friends John and Michelle who will be seeing you in May 2016.
It was great to be able to give you your award
Many congrats! Well earned!! X
Whooooop!!!! As it should be, you were brilliant! (Reviews coming promise!!) x
You deserve it! Well done!!! xx
My husband & I booked ‘Choice DJ’ for our wedding reception & they did not disappoint. We chose ‘Choice DJ’ based on the many positive reviews that previous customers had left so think it is deserved that we do the same! ‘Choice DJ’ have a slick, professional online service which I have never seen before in this particular industry, this service enables you to customise the music selection that will be played throughout your event, we did take advantage of this but also gave Phil the opportunity to use his initiative & play what he thought best in ‘the moment’, this choice proved worthy as our dancefloor was full & buzzing from the first song to the very last, with guests even requesting an “encore!!”, book ‘Choice DJ’ for your event, you will not be disappointed!! 🙂 xx
