“Damien is an absolute dream to work with and I love having him perform at the weddings we plan. I would highly recommend Damien for any clients looking for a fantastic DJ in France. Damien communicates with our wedding clients brilliantly and really gets to know each couple to take their requests into account. His sets are always incredible and really make the weddings he takes part in special. In addition, he is perfect for those looking for one musician to manage the whole day, as his piano playing is truly beautiful for both ceremonies and the cocktail hour and the piano shell he uses is always a talking point! ”

  • Damien Keys is a fantastic DJ for anyone getting married in France. We booked him after a recommendation from our planner. We booked a DJ set, sound equipment for the ceremony, cocktails, meal and pool party the following day and the whole service was fantastic. Communication was excellent and Damien, who was an absolute gent on the day of the wedding had the whole place rocking. We recommended Damien to our friends who are getting married next year in France and would do so to anyone. Nothing but positive vibes from us!

  • We hired Damien as our DJ as well as lighting for the courtyard of our venue. In addition we booked an incredible saxophonist to play alongside the DJ set - the service and communication was impeccable; always quick to return our emails, really patient with our million questions and friendly. Damien was INSANE and had the party rocking all night, I have no idea what time we went to bed. Damien even helped us translate with the venue owners which made things so much easier to deal with as we don't speak any French at all. I'd totally recommend Damien for anyone looking for wedding entertainment in France

    Christina & Sam
  • We booked Damien as our DJ for our wedding last month. From the first contact we made with him until the last track played on the night, Damien were fantastic. Professional, friendly & helpful, with speedy responses to any questions we had. Our friends & family are still talking about how cool the DJ was and what great music he played. We arranged for a full day package which meant Damien was already set up when our guests arrived. He played some great background chill out music during the reception and the meal and then rocked the place when the party started! We also added some up-lighting to the package which created a great atmosphere in the venue. We would highly recommend Damien!
    Jane & Harry
  • Damien and his team were utterly brilliant at the wedding we organised recently near Bordeaux. Coming from the States it was so important for us to get the music right. The dance floor was packed all night and him, alongside a saxophonist we added really rocked. Damien's team created fantastic lighting in a very difficult old venue and completely transformed the experience for me. Damien Keys is a fantastic DJ and a really lovely team to work with.
    Jessica & Tom
  • Due to a last minute cancellation they had received, we somehow managed to booked Damien at short notice for our wedding reception in Paris. He provided an exceptional service which perfectly complimented the event. His set went down a storm with the guests, it was a real crowd pleaser, in particular the last 30 minutes which was just insane! We would thoroughly recommend his services for delivering an unforgettable experience for our big day. 5 stars! *****
    Jon & Nikita

  • We both want to say an absolutely HUGE thanks to Damien. He totally smashed it! From the moment we got in touch his communication and level of service was impeccable and such a relief. We were coming from abroad to get married in the south of France and didn't have a clue where to start, but it was so obvious from the start that we were in the right hands. Our wedding party was insane and everyone is still talking about it now! Myself and Ben wanted to thank you again and we can't wait to see you again next year (recommended for Dave and Clement's wedding in 2022!!)

  • We're a couple from the UK who got married in western France last summer. We hired Damien after looking high and wide for a great, non cheesy DJ. Damien was absolutely brilliant and had the entire dance floor up all night. was completely brilliant! My husband and I have spent the first week of our honeymoon nursing blisters because we danced so much! I would highly recommend Damien for anyone looking for brilliant English speaking entertainment for their wedding in France.
    Suzie & Angus
  • What an epic party! Before our wedding we had discussions with Damien over zoom, which was really handy as we were coming from Australia and couldn't meet in person. We created some playlists and Damien worked seamlessly around it - he completely understood how we imagined our wedding playlist to work and helped bring it to reality. The whole set up was brilliant from start to finish with the dancefloor full for the entire night. It's clear Damien loves what he does and does it all with a positive attitude, always smiling! Damien played an absolutely massive part in making our wedding so memorable.
    Trudy & James
  • Wow! From the very first meeting, we were totally put at ease by Damien's professionalism and knowledge of his craft. We were getting married in France and were fairly nervous about booking a local DJ as the majority of our guests were from the UK. Safe to say all our fears evaporated as soon as we came across Damien and his team. He listened to all our requests, made suggestions (which worked out brilliantly) and played a brilliant set which had everyone (including my grandparents!) on the dance floor until the early hours. We can't recommend Damien Keys enough to anyone getting married in France.
    Catherine & Mark
  • We absolutely loved having Damien as part of our south of France celebrations. We booked him for all three days of the wedding, from the BBQ on the Friday night, wedding on the Saturday and Ibiza style pool party on the Sunday. Damien was absolutely incredible and made our day even more special than we had hoped. Our entire guest list is still messaging to compliment how good the music was. We had a Zoom meeting originally to discuss our tastes (which are fairly eclectic to say the least). He was always very quick to respond to our (many, sorry!) emails and very attentive on the day when it came to special requests. If we ever have another party we will absolutely contact Damien - thanks again so much for turning our wedding into an incredible party!
    Harriet & Robert

  • I am so excited to rave about Damien, he truly was the X factor in making our wedding the best day of our lives. Damien was so helpful, and such a reassuring presence on our wedding day, and throughout the entire planning process. He was so responsive, answered every question, and helped us create the best music experience. We wanted to include some live music elements, but still have a DJ, and Damien made this lofty request a reality! Our saxophonist Harriet brought the house down, and had everyone on their feet dancing the entire night. The live drummer was outstanding, and brought so much energy and life to the music. We also asked for a guitarist for our cocktail hour, and he played the best music and somehow had AMAZING acoustics amidst a vast, beautiful, outdoor garden.

    My husband and I were dancing the entire night, we had the time of our lives! Damien took our request form to heart and made sure to honour all of our requests, while also bringing his expertise and judgment to the music selection. We had so many of our guests message us saying that it was the best music they have ever heard at a wedding. We have already recommended Damien to family members who are getting married next year. Going with Damien was the best decision we could have ever made for our special day.  
    Eleanor & Christopher
  • We flew over from the US for our wedding near Bordeaux in western France. Originally we were concerned about the prospect of finding suitable entertainment in a country where we won't speak the language. We were recommended to contact Damien Keys  by our venue and booking him was a brilliant decision as he was outstanding. His DJ set kept the energy and the party going, he played an amazing mix of different genres and eras to make there was something for each of our guests to enjoy and dance to. We could not have asked for a better DJ to lead our wedding reception! We also booked him the following day for our pool party which was really cool, an awesome vibe and huge success.
    Jaimee & Ian
  • Damn, that playlist! Honestly, you could feel everyone’s excitement over each new song, as they were blended in such a thrill-inducing way (don’t know how else to describe it!) and each new track was unexpected but perfect. We wanted 90s hip hop and epic dance songs and the result was a high-energy dance floor that left more than one person telling me Damien was the best DJ they’d ever heard at a wedding. (I recommend picking a few foundational songs to set the tone and then really let him work their magic with the rest.) Also, leading up to my wedding Damien was incredibly responsive, accommodating every request and even helping with a non-DJ sound issue I brought to him that my venue wasn’t sure of. I felt really confident about him leading up to the wedding and then he killed it on our big day. Thank you so much!
    James & Sara
  • Damien is the greatest. We got married at Lake Como in Italy which is truly stunning, and I couldn’t think of anyone else I would rather play my wedding. Damien was included on a recommended list of entertainment from our wedding planner. I was very picky about what I wanted played and gave Damien a ton of suggestions which he took and crafted into a perfect playlist, adding in other songs I wouldn’t have thought of but played great. He then delivered like no one else for the dance floor. People are still talking about our wedding party and it was all because of him. We also booked Damien's cocktail piano set which took place towards the lower section of the venue where we had canapés. His piano playing is truly outstanding and really added to the classical vibe we were going for. Being able to book the same vendor for the cocktail reception and after party was a huge bonus for us with no prior knowledge of weddings in Italy, and it was a pleasure to have Damien involved on our special day. We will never forget your incredible contribution.
    Jenny & Michael
  • I am SO SO glad that we found Damien! He was the absolute perfect match for us! We were really stuck on DJs because we wanted someone who was cool, down-to-earth and who would make our wedding fun and not cheesy. I spoke with Damien on the phone for all of 5 minutes and when I hung up I told my then fiance that we just HAVE to book him. His knowledge of the venue was impeccable having played there on several previous occasions for weddings. We originally booked him just for a DJ set but then added his piano set and a pool party set the following day. He was incredibly flexible, super talented and so friendly. Damien became a huge part of our wedding and all our friends are still talking about THAT dance floor.
    Katherine & Joshua
